Bella Trattoria Italian Bistro

I would give 0 stars if I could. Our waitress Jordan was one of the worst waitresses I’ve had in my entire life. She took a long time to take our drink orders, and then after taking our food orders completely disappeared. We had to ask multiple other workers here to hunt her down because she hadn’t come back to our table in over 30 minutes. I ordered a shirley temple that came with lemonade which I hadn’t expected (no mention of that on the menu), so I asked for it without lemonade. When another waitress brought a refill later since she hadn’t returned in so long, it had lemonade it (which another person at my table confirmed). When Jordan finally came back and I let her know it had lemonade, she told me I was wrong and that it didn’t have lemonade it in it. I have NEVER had a server argue with me before, I was baffled. She eventually did fix the drink but was rude the entire rest of the night and came back maybe one other time, other than to take the bill of course. The pizza we got tasted genuinely like frozen pizza cooked in a pizza oven. The service was absolutely atrocious and the food was bad. Avoid at all costs, go literally anywhere else in the area for better food.

We just got home from this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. I honestly think the real chef must have been off for the 4th of July—because whoever cooked today clearly wasn’t a professional. We were shocked that a restaurant connected to the Mission Inn Hotel would serve food like this.
The dishes were completely bland, like someone forgot to add salt—or any seasoning at all. My cream sauce was watery and flavorless, nothing like the “lemon flavor” the waitress mentioned. My son said his pasta was the worst Italian food he’s ever had—and that even our leftovers at home taste better!
It was also uncomfortably hot inside, even though we were seated indoors with supposed air conditioning. Service started off friendly, but then the staff disappeared. We waited forever just to ask for basic things like salt, and no one checked on us during the meal.
To be fair, our waitress was polite and smiled even after we gave feedback, which we appreciated. But overall, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unless they seriously improve both the food and the experience.

atmosphere is great, cannot say the same for service or food. It took so long and servers were very inattentive. So disappointed, don't come here if you are in a rush, we waited an hour for our food and there was 2 other tables full. that's all.

rude waiters who treat people differently based on race, it's not my fault that you dislike your service job, maybe you can just quit and be broke? this is the mission inn, we have spent many years coming to this place and we love to walk around here, but since my horrible experience at this eatery, we have not returned.

Food is poorly made...no salt and seasoning. Pasta lacked cheese and sauce, making it extremely dry. Our server was nice but not attentive at all. We got there before others and were served last and some of our food was forgotten. We wanted to ask for salt and cheese and she only came out to see us once. It was overly priced for bad food.

Amazing service, food and atmosphere!! Thank you very much!!

Elegant, classy, beautifully appointed. We loved the cuisine...appetizers, salads, main, desserts and coffee! The service by Irene, ambiance, the florals, trees, hues...the open door breezes and music wafting...viva la Italia!! 🇮🇹

Lovely outdoor patio (in good weather), fast and friendly service (thank you Jordan!), and delicious food!

Great service and very attentive. She was sweet and great conversation with her. I wish I could have asked for her name.

We went on a Saturday night, and it took 10 minutes for the hostess to acknowledge us. When we were sat, we were informed that they were not serving alcohol because “the bar was backed up.” We then left. I do not recommend this place.

I loved having lunch here. I had a pizza and it was so soft and delicious. It literally dissolved in my mouth. It is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place with excellent food and slightly slow service.

I'm visiting from Ohio and wanted to try Italian food, so I decided to try this restaurant. The food was mediocre and had a burnt tast. Nevertheless, this place was nice and service was good.
For the price I would look elsewhere.

We came here on Valentine's Day 2025, so they were serving a very select menu - a prix fixe menu, or a limited variation or their regular dinner menu. We ordered the spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parmigiana. Both were good, but the meatballs of the spaghetti & meatballs were surprisingly good, despite reviews on other sites saying they tasted like kitchen tap water. Maybe we came on a good day? We also shared a margherita pizza, which was also good. The dough had the desired yeasty, brick oven flavor and the sauce and cheese were quite tasty as well. Overall, the food was good. The prices were a bit steep, but you're paying for the atmosphere too. Would definitely come again.

Too expensive, only two dishes to choose from no variety. Took too long to serve. Even with reservations still waited to be seated.
