“I am in LOVE with Marcolino's Italia! I wish I could have eaten more but I couldn't even finish the BEST Eggplant ParmesanI've eaten- including my own! I was able to share ( with 6 people) the Limoncello cake! OMG! I'll just have to keep going back to work through their incredible menu!😍“

“This is such a great place. It was our first time here and we will definitely be going back. Great food and a cozy lil place. This is where your Italian momma would go for night out :)“

“Birthday eve with no recognition. The next night at Roxys was fabulous. Special table for 2. In the middle of the restaurant was great. Waiters singing Happy Birthday. One person talked with us for quite a while. Makes you feel special. Roxys is ALWAYS Classy“

“I’m not much on Italian food this was the first place that serve Italian food that everything we had was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back. We had an appetizer of meatballs that were very, very good.“

“For romantic dinner beautiful restaurantr .“

“I wish you would bring back the lunch chicken piadina and the smoked cheese mushroom ravioli. These are my favorite.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. They have the best food in town aside from Nona's kitchen and the service is amazing too. They are always kind and go the extra mile to make everyone comfortable.“

“So I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and it was a huge disappointment. So. Much. Breading!!! my husband ordered the Bolognese Con Mafaldine.
He loved his dish. In addition, the wine list was amazing and the pork belly starter was fantastic.
I’d be willing to come back and try something other than the eggplant“

“Beautiful place, love the concept and the atmosphere. Had multiple drinks throughout the dinner, which were all delicious. Started with a caprese salad to share, and for $16... Really small. We also ordered the fried seafood which was delicious and a reasonable amount for the cost.

For the mains we had the shrimp and scallop spaghetti special, which was reasonable. The shrimp and scallops were cooked beautifully, but the pasta was lackluster. Seemed really dry like the pasta was made and was sitting (maybe under a heat lamp) waiting for the shrimp and scallops to be added. Almost seemed like microwaved leftover pasta with oil drizzled on top. The other pasta we ordered was the tagliatelle ragu which was better than the special. Softer noodles, with a great sauce.

Overall glad we went here. Will definitely give them another shot, and maybe not order a pasta next time. If they wanted to step up their game, make the pasta in-house.“

“We had a large group of 12. Some of the food was great, some ok, but on dish was returned - the pork chop. It was over cooked and the sauce was burnt. It was returned and another dish was not ordered. We waited almost 2 hours for our main corse. Seated at 7, dove at 10. When we got the bill, they charged us for the pork chop. We asked for it to be taken off the bill and the owner said no. I and many of the 12 would never patronize this restaurant again. For the price of one meal, she just lost multiple customers. Own up when the cooking is not up to par. In addition, we could not dive the tab up with multiple credit cards.“

“Great atmosphere, good price and even better food. Andrew and team are doing a fantastic job and both of their pizza types are family approved. Keep up the great work.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the innovative Pasta in Parmigiana Wheel concept at Pasta La Vista, and it was a truly unforgettable experience! This new Italian restaurant has taken the classic pasta dish to a whole new level.

The presentation alone is worth a visit - a beautifully hollowed-out Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel filled with steaming hot, freshly cooked pasta. But it's not just about looks; the flavors and textures come together in perfect harmony. The pasta is cooked to perfection, and the melted Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese adds a rich, creamy sauce.

What sets this dish apart is the interactive experience. You get to scrape the inside of the cheese wheel to create a personalized sauce, making each bite unique. It's a fun and engaging way to enjoy your meal.

The portion size is generous, and the prices are reasonable considering the high-quality ingredients and unique presentation. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting.

If you're looking for a fresh take on traditional Italian cuisine, look no further than Pasta La Vista and their incredible Pasta in Parmigiana Wheel concept. It's a must-try for pasta lovers and foodies alike! Buon appetito!“

“Last night I visited Bella Italia and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Their menu is extensive and for my entree I chose their manicotti. It is stuffed with ricotta and spinach and served with a generous topping of cream sauce.

I also selected their insalata della casa (house salad) which was light and tasty and perfectly seasoned with their own homemade oil and lemon dressing. The salad was embellished with nice wedges of mozzarella crowned with a slice of ham.

I asked Chef Jose for a wine suggestion and he picked Monteverro di Vermentino, a delicious white from the vineyards of Tuscany. It was a perfect match.

If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine then you can not find better Italian fare than what is made fresh and served daily at Bella Italia.

Visit Bella Italia and you'll be transported to Italy where the food is fresh and the atmosphere warm and friendly as you are welcomed by Chef Jose and his family.“

“Best meatball sandwich in town. If you reminisce about the old Paolo’s, there’s a lot of old school Italian root flavors with some new additions. I was so happy with the way this place took the old school Paulo’s and made it better.“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

“Amazing food The sauce is delicious and the meatballs are perfection“

“New favorite pizza place in South Reno. Italian salad was very fresh and good dressing. The pizza crust was thin the way we like it and the toppings were generous. No excess grease either!“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

“Ordered a salad with the
grilled/seared salmon. Salmon was cooked great. Salad on the other hand, was not good. Mushrooms were old and like an hour away from having to be thrown away. They threw a ton in just to get rid of them and lettuce was wilting. Not fresh at all. Our waitress wasn't a happy camper either. Her voice was raspy, so not sure she had a cold or was coming down with one. Didn't want to deal with her and go through the trouble. But again salmon was cooked perfectly.“

“Great pizza and Amazing costumer service 👌🏼“

“Sooooo yummy! Great find thanks to Yelp as we were traveling and didn’t know the area!“

“It's been a while since we've eaten here...had a g.c., the waiter was great... The shrimp Porto Fini was delicious, husband got the trio and he enjoyed that!
We had plenty of left overs the next night!
We would come back again...“
