I brought my son to Bella Cucina recently, and he loved it. As did I. Comforting ambience, friendly staff and authentic cuisine. We'll be back.

My family and I have eaten there several times. I had the meat Ravioli with a side of sausage. The bread was awesome and service was great. We will be back

I regret to share that my recent visit to your Italian restaurant did not meet expectations regarding the authenticity of the cuisine. While the service was commendable with attentive and friendly staff, the overall atmosphere and culinary offerings were disappointing. The ambiance was marred by excessively loud classical music, and there was a persistent musty odor reminiscent of a poorly ventilated basement.Regarding the food, the salads presented another concern; the mozzarella used had an off texture, resembling old cottage cheese rather than the fresh, creamy quality expected. The juices offered were overly diluted, lacking in flavor due to an excessive addition of water. Additionally, the green salad was quite inedible with overly large, and in some cases, rotten leaves.These culinary missteps were unfortunately compounded by pasta dishes that were far from enjoyable, and main dishes like lamb and fish that, while passable, did not carry any Italian authenticity.I would suggest revisiting the menu and perhaps consulting with a specialist in Italian cuisine to ensure that the dishes offered are true to their roots. Additionally, addressing the acoustic, olfactory, and food quality issues within the restaurant could greatly enhance the dining experience. I hope this feedback is constructive and can help guide some improvements. Thank you.

I ordered the food to go. I would not recommend ordering the calamari go. It was pretty soft. The fettuccine Alfredo was very good. I would say the sauce was not very thick however it was flavorful. The lobster ravioli was underwhelming. The sauce was liquidy and I did not feel like the volume of ravioli was consistent with the price point. I would ravioli based on the price point and volume.

One of the best of Italian restaurants in Santa Clarita! My second time here and I love coming here. The food is always great!

We just had a perfect Easter Dinner at Bella Cucina. The pastas are absolutely spectacular and the service and entire experience is exactly what you want from such a wonderful restaurant. We will definitely be going back regularly. Thank you!

Isn't very good. I am Italian I can make better at home, why bother. Just came back from a tour of Italy this food would be laughable there.

This place was exactly what we needed! We love Italian food and it was my husbands birthday so we wanted to try this place. We both tried a different red wine, both were delicious. My husband got the Chicken Cannelloni and holy moly, it was to die for! I am definitely ordering it next time we come back. I ordered the Chicken Picatta and it was also really good. The service was great, and the food was even better!! If you're in the SCV area you have to give this place a try.

The food was delicious and Luca provided the best service! I got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the sauce was so creamy and delicious. The garlic knots were warm and fresh. Highly recommend!

I recently tried Bella Cucina after hearing people rave about it for years. Maybe it was just an off night but it didn't live up to the hype. The restaurant itself is adorable, but the food was bland and overpriced.
Service was amazing. Food was delicious. 10/10 and the staff was super friendly!

This place is AMAZING! Our waiter and the owner took wonderful care of our table. They have inside and patio dinning, both with a wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for a date night. I had some of the best calamari I've ever had here. I'd also recommend the baked tortellini and a tiramisu for dessert. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. I will definitely be coming back here.

This is a wonderful little Italian restaurant that serves up nice and healthy plentiful size plate meals. Service came with an Italian accent which made it even more pleasant.

We went there Friday night, and we were greeted very nice and seated immediately. All personnel, including our waitress, were great. The food was delicious. We had garlic rolls, oh so yummy. Lamb shank and paella. Both plates were delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant.Parking: Seco and Copperhill. Same shopping center of CVS.
