Bella Italia - Modesto (CA)

4 /5 Jason Shultz: The food was really good. The service was good as well. My only complaint was the decor could really have used an update. Droopy ceiling fan blades for instance. It was really dark and dated. The windows were dirty. If they updated the decor to match the quality of food and service it would really elevate the visit to another level.

5 /5 Rachel Windsor: Good environment and atmosphere!!! Awesome service!!! Our server is amazing!!! Delicious food, which is served relatively fast!!! Love their cioppino and pasta!!! Highly recommend them! And you wouldn’t want to miss their desserts! Would recommend trying their “bombs”! We dined as a family of five! It is about $20 - $30 per person!

4 /5 Elizabeth Lascheid: Bella Italia is very nice place for dinner while in town. It is not the best ever, but we were quite happy with almost everything we ordered. The place is really pretty and the prices are fair. We just loved the service. We were seated straight away. They have a nice wine list. Our server knew the menu well and was fast but we never felt rushed. I would make a reservation. We were there on a weekday and ate early so we were in great shape. Most of the food we had was great. The minestrone soup was just perfect. We also loved our salads. I had the chicken marsala and it was just so melt in your mouth wonderful and packed with yummy mushrooms. We also had the ravioli in a white sauce that was so good. I would get that again. Finally, we had fried ravioli and it was good, not great. That I will not try again. There is just too much thick crust for me, but you might love it. The ravioli within the crust was very good. All in all we would come back. We just loved the service, the calm atmosphere and the vast majority of the food. Give them a try.

5 /5 A & E: Im so glad my husband and I decided to go inside this cute family own Italian restaurant. Dont let the outside fool you, inside is really cute and well decorated with Tuscany look The food is so good, my husband had the cioppino, we were quite surprised how big the bowl was and let me tell you, my husband is a big cioppino eater, this has to be by far the best cioppino he had ever had since we moved out here in the valley from the bay area, its probably better then any bay area Italian restaurant, even I wish I had gotten it, I got the baked rigatoni and I really loved it, portions are huge , we both had to take ours home. We recommend the homemade tiramsu , this has to be the best tiramsu we had ever had, I almost dont want to write this review because I dont want too many people knowing about this secret gem, also because we didnt need any reservations. Service was excellent, very friendly family. Definitely we be coming back

5 /5 American Angler: After dropping off my car carrier to my old pal Oscar Mendoza, so he can get his cars down to the Riverside Concours delegance next weekend, we headed straight to the Bella Italia Restaurant. Being in Modesto with a tried and true Mexican...I expected tacos! But...Man-O-Man was I pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing! Well worth the trip. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆
