“Celebrated my birthday at Bella Serra Trattoria and throughly enjoyed it! Atmosphere and food was amazing!

Kid-friendliness: Celebrating your birthday is something you will never forget. The servers at Bella, Sera Trattoria provided extraordinary service that only enhanced celebrating my birthday!“

“We were very hungry, ordered delivery. I didn't know they delivered. The pepperoni pizza was good, good taste, good crust. The antipasto salad was good, although not really an antipasto. I ordered the meatballs and thought they were great. They came in a dish with marinara, onions, green peppers. The marinara was very flavorful. I put the garlic bread to good use by thoroughly cleaning the dish to get all the marinara. Less expensive Than ordering from Domino's, and much MUCH better. We've always like this place.“

We also ordered a kids Alfredo plate that came with Grapes. Our server was great, he was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is very nice with lots of classy decorations. We will come back here again in the future.“

“Great customer service. delicious fresh pizzas !“

“Overall it's what you expect from an olive garden. The food was fine, service was great. Just small things here and there. Though one thing that just had me confused was that our waiter did not know what Al dente was. Kind of concerning considering it's an Italian restaurant.

Vegetarian options: A good number of dishes can be vegetarian, sometimes the meat is added after so just ask it on the side and give it to someone else on your table if they eat meat

Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled

Parking: On a busy day, you may struggle with finding parking. It's also a mall too so worst case you're parking far.

Kid-friendliness: They even have a kids menu

Wheelchair accessibility: They have specific tables for you“

“Great food and great service! What more can you ask for!“

“Absolutely love this place. The food was excellent! For appetizers we had the meatballs and bruschetta. For the main dishes we had the vongole, chicken Parmigiano, kids' spaghetti and meatballs and kids' chicken fettuccine Alfredo. For dessert we had the cheesecake. Everything was so delicious! In addition, the staff Ronie and Santos were so kind, professional, friendly and attentive. Thank you for making this experience phenomenal.“

“We were seated in the banquet room, where there is not much charm. Service was attentive, taking care of presenting each dish, removing finished plates, and being nearby, usually, when attention was wanted. Cocktail Manhattan quite nicely made. The Malbec we ordered was ok. The food was fresh, properly prepared. The main dishes were rich, but not balanced with a vegetable. I could have eaten 1/3 less of the main and had a break from the richness of cremes, fats and spices with some smaller side of something less rich, pasta, rice or a vegetable. Our desert was creme brulé. Seemed like it was not just prepared for us, no heat in the caramelized topping, neither hot nor cold center, and underwhelming as a result. Almost every restaurant these days has this dessert offered, so one would hope to have an excellent version at Malbec. I doubt we will dine here again. Sorry.“

“Owner Operator Jose A Portillo has a gem of an Italian restaurant in Baldwin Park. Stopped in early on a Friday for some dinners to-go. My elderly parents are mostly homebound and they are very fond of this little eatery. I was deeply impressed with the service and attention from Jose himself during our visit. And this was for to-go orders. We got two orders of La Pescadori and a meatball sandwich. The dishes were spectacular and the care and love from El Appetiz was world class.“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

“I’m in town doing a big box store auction and liquidation and I keep passing this place and I said before I leave town I gotta go in there cause I grew up in New York. I said let’s try some pizza here in West Covina.Ca.
Well, obviously, it’s more expensive here in California, but the pizza was really good. I went back again the day after. And bought several pieces for my whole crew.
Plain, w/ mushroom & pepperoni
NEW YORK thin style Large! Of course“

“my favorite is the Regina!“
