Wonderful experience. Food was fantastic. Upscale from Olive Garden but no need to dress black tie. Highly recommend a reservation to avoid waiting.

Pasta was delicious as always. Great price for the quantity you get. We visit the area from NC once a year and this Bella Notte is a must for dinner everytime
Amy
Bella Notte is always a sure bet. Food and service beyond compare. My go to restaurant for special occasions.
Lori
Host was excellent. Price for lunch was the same as dinner so that was a little surprising
Jamie
I have been going to Bella Notte for close to 30 years and I've never had a bad experience. This visit was for mine and my husband's birthday. We were seated in a nice quiet area, the food was outstanding and our waiter was very attentive. They are always good but this was one of our best visits.
Andrew
One of the best kept secrets in Lexington. Traditional Italian at a price so low it's almost criminal.
Robert Feltner
Love the food and the portion sizes are large. My favorite Italian restaurant in Lexington.
Leandra
Our dinner at Bella Notte was so special! We're on our honeymoon in Lexington and this was the perfect way to kick off the trip. The food was delightful and the service was even better!
Evan
Delicious meals and large portions. The atmosphere is very unique, and the restaurant design is great for elegant dining. Food is well worth the price point, and service is excellent.
Tommy
We had a fantastic experience at Bella Notte this evening. Our server, Sophia, was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely made the evening special. The food was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The Bruschetta Trio was our favorite dish—super fresh, flavorful, and fun. We'll definitely be back soon!
We go here for birthdays. We are never disappointed. Great food, reasonably priced and great service ! A gem in Lexington.
Ann

Bella Notte has been my favorite restaurant in Lexington for the ten years that I have lived here, but tonight was extremely disappointing. The Asparagus Soup from their Spring Menu was bitter and didn't taste like asparagus at all. Neither my daughter or I were able to eat it. The Brunette Sangria that I ordered was not fruity at all and tasted like straight brandy with an orange slice in it. My daughter had the Chicken Piccatta. Usually a safe choice if you're a fan of chicken, pasta, lemon, and capers. But what they served her as Piccatta had something akin to thick pesto in it. We never really figured out what it was and she just ate the chicken and pushed the sauce aside. The thing that disappointed me the most was that the Tiramisu was served with caramel sauce on top of it. I have tried the Tiramisu at every restaurant that I have been to that served it over the last 30 years, including several in Italy, and previously at Bella Notte. It has never and should never be served with caramel on it. If it does then it's NOT Tiramisu! I told the waitress that I don't like caramel and asked if I could please have some Tiramisu without it. She claimed that they always serve it that way. Maybe she's new? I won't be eating there in the future. I find the lack of authenticity disappointing.

One pasta dish was great, the porkchop entry was too dry, and one pasta dish had way too much garlic. Loved the ambiance, wine list, and service.

Always a pleasure to eat here. The staff is always super nice and efficient. Did is tasty. We usually start with the calamari. Fettuccine Alfredo is fab. The complimentary bread is also super yummy!
