Facility- very attractive local upscale restaurant. Staff -excellent, meal- also excellent. I am very critical and don't usually give out 5 stars, but this establishment deserves all 5. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. Menu photos as of Aug 2025.

Staying the night in Clear Lake on a road trip and decided to give this place a try. WOW! What a home run! Food is AMAZING and portions are large. If my wife and I lived anywhere nearby, this would be a weekly dining destination for us.

What can I say? I eat out approximately 320 days per year because of work. This hidden treasure is nestled in small town middle America waiting to wow YOU. This was a most amazing meal. One of the top 3 restaurants I have visited in my entire life in America. The top Italian restaurant in our nation by a mile. Our server, I’m having a difficult time remembering her name, was 100% on point. She was incredibly busy and incredibly attentive to all of her customers. I will have to call and ask her name because she deserves credit, as well. If you want an experience that leaves you wanting more then this is the place. Just a meal, date night, birthdays, celebrations of all kinds, this is a premier venue. We had 3 people at our table and ordered at least 7 different dishes from pasta standards to ribeye steak. The soups were, bar none, the best I have ever had at any restaurant anywhere. All made from scratch. Everything was prepared to perfection and the place was packed. So this is their standard of performance. I understand this facility is run by three brothers. Fantastic job creating and managing this prime example of what any kind of restaurant should be. We will definitely be back for more. I don’t say this often but I love this restaurant.

Food is delicious and I love the atmosphere. Reminds me a lot of a favorite restaurant of mine that used to be in the Mall of America. Would definitely recommend!

Pasta Bella is our FAVORITE!! Over the years, I have enjoyed many different dishes on the menu with each one worthy of its own 5 Star review!! If you're in the Mason City area, be sure to add Pasta Bella as a dining stop!

From staff to the food, it's always a great experience. Do not skip the cream soups(usually a soup of the day). I have loved every dish I've tried and my wife says I'm picky...so I guess the food is pretty good. The staff is great from the hosts to the kitchen and management...always very friendly and courteous. Prices were extremely reasonable.
Always wonderful. The food is amazing and the staff is always welcoming. I have yet to try anything here that I didn't love.

The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. The owner was very interested in how everyone's experience was. Our waitress knew more about the menu than just what was on it. She knew exactly how to convey the flavors that we could expect from the different meals.
