My girlfriend and I came here on a whim and ended up loving Bella Notte. Jena was our server, gave us great recommendations, kept my drink full, and was very attentive. The food was absolutely delightful and, as someone from Phoenix who is tired of substandard Italian restaurants all over the place, this restaurant represents amazing value. We'll definitely be back if we're in town again. Thanks so much for the wonderful lunch!

A MUST go to for Italian dining! I’m not a food picture taker, but I should have for this!I almost don’t want to share b/c it is a gem that I wouldn’t want to be exploited, but it is absolutely worth sharing as well!Atmosphere- authentically warm and inviting, the hostesses were amazing as first points of contact! The kitchen open viewing was encouraging! Clean, transparent, seemingly good team work and rhythm.Our server, Talyn, said she was newer, but you wouldn’t have known it. She was informed about every entree, shared specifics in detail, helpful in providing direction for each of our tastes and wonderfully attentive. She mentioned server food training I think, and if that is a practice for Belle Notte, I applaud it!For our dining pleasure we enjoyed (no judgement, it was my birthday and we were torn wanting to try everything- and we do enjoy leftovers) first, the tomato soup - OUTSTANDING! It’s no wonder they keep this recipe a secret! My husband and I also shared 3 entrees; two of the evening specials- the scallops and Ono fish entrees plus the baked ravioli. All EXCEPTIONAL! Each of them!!!! The pasta sauce (WOW!!!!!) you just have to try it! Not enough words to describe the tasty, flavorful, meat rich, layered flavors -with a slight hint of heat- perfection! The scallops were seared and cooked perfectly, then lemon butter sauce- mouth watering deliciousness, and the Ono (pleasant surprise for this Hawaiian) was prepared just perfectly -without too much fuss to distract from the fabulous fish, and accompanied by the delicious crispy, honey brussel sprouts! We devoured the seafoods, savored the pastas and can’t wait to enjoy the leftover pastas! (Pork chops are next on our list, since 4 entrees for 2 seemed excessive, lol!)I also have the Spring berry tart dessert offering that I will no doubt (indulgently) relish after we spoil ourselves with the leftover pasta.Additionally, the affordability for 2 of us was a bonus! Cocktails, apps, 3 entrees, and dessert with a healthy gratuity added was fine dining service/taste on a working class budget!Thank you to manager, Kyle, for making time to stop and welcome us as first timers. That made us feel special, warm and welcomed!Can’t wait to make Bella Notte a part of our (bourbon run when we) return to Kentucky!

We were there for a wedding rehearsal dinner and everything was wonderful. We have been before for dinner and enjoy it very much. Bella Notte is one of our favorite restaurants in Lexington.

Amazing service amazing food amazing restaurant. Extremely accommodating and looking forward to coming again.Dietary restrictions: Allowed us to substitute bacon for our religion and made sure we knew what was and wasn't pork
The food and service is really good! The server was very friendly and was happy to answer questions about the menu.The food came out fairly quickly. I will say the portions were smaller than I was expecting considering the price.
