“Patrick was an outstanding server and offered appropriate recommendations about the menu items, the wait time in the kitchen and bar, and helped us to the show on time. The restaurant is clearly understaffed in the kitchen and the bar. Food was flavorful and fresh.“

“From the moment you step into Torrey Park, you're greeted with a beautiful, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. The chic and well-designed interior sets the stage for a truly memorable dining experience. The food is simply incredible, with each dish offering a unique and satisfying flavor experience. The homemade ricotta, mozzarella, and pasta are standout items on the menu. Each bite of the ricotta and mozzarella is a creamy, dreamy delight, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta, made from scratch, is a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs. It was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of bite, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The craft cocktails are equally impressive, each one a delicious blend of flavors that complements the food perfectly.
Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for my sister here. The experience was nothing short of top of the line. The food was incredible, with each dish showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. The presentation was equally impressive, with every plate looking as good as it tasted.
But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the excellent customer service. The owner, Allison, leads by example, ensuring that every diner has a perfect experience. Her passion for hospitality is evident in every detail, from the attentive service to the flawless execution of each dish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that all of our guests were well taken care of. They were attentive without being intrusive, and their professionalism was evident in every interaction. The food, presentation, and customer service all combined to create an unforgettable experience for all of our guests.
In conclusion, this restaurant is more than just a place to eat. It's a place where you're treated like family, where the food is made with love, and where every detail is carefully considered to ensure you have the best possible experience. I can't wait to return and create more beautiful memories here.“

“Definitely my favorite restaurant in Geneva! Always feel welcome and have great meals.“

“friendly staff, excellent food. the Carrot Cake is the best in the w6orld“

“Pizza is always hot and on time.....and delicious!“

“We were in Geneva for the first time for one night only and luckily found this gem through a Google search. Tricia, our waitress, was warm and walked us through the menu. All the sauces, meatballs and sausages are made onsite. It made choosing very difficult! Our table chose lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs arrabbiata , and penne in vodka sauce. Warm bread was plentiful. Every dish was delicious and more than we could eat (they do offer the option to split a plate for a small fee). There is a dessert case that is full of desserts made fresh locally. We shared the lemon cake, which was heavenly and more than enough for the three of us. If we find ourselves in Geneva again, we will absolutely be back to Bella’s!“

“We love this place. We lucked in to finding this place during the it's a wonderful life event back in the winter. Have the pleasure of going back tonight and it was still great. If you're in the area go for a good dinner and definitely have the Mac salad from the salad bar. So good I want the recipe.“

“This is one of my son’s favorite places to visit in Geneva. Geneva Gelato always has delicious flavors to choose from as well as coffee, tea, and other desserts. Recently, Geneva Gelato hosted my son’s fourth birthday party, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It was a wonderful venue for family and friends to celebrate. We were able to come a little early to do a little setting up, we were able to bring our own cupcakes, and they even gave goody bags to all the kids who came. The staff was so accommodating and kind; they even joined us in signing Happy Birthday to my son. What a fantastic place! I highly recommend visiting or asking about small events.“

“very expensive and horrible service…the waiter had to be told what we needed instead of asking us first,food was COLD not warm but COLD…we were sat down without plates or napkins when given our appetizer and when asked it took almost 15 minutes to recieve them the waiter also never asked how the food was or anything else…FIRST AND LAST TIME GOING HERE!!!!“

“Waa here for a business dinner. It was catered by the restaurant and it was open bar for us. The food was good, except the cheesecake. I've never had salty tasting cheesecake, I didn't care for it. I don't believe it was made that way, so sloppy cutting? The dishes I had was pasta with red sauce, stuffed chicken, and mashed potatoes, all delicious.. Veggies were available, but I didn't care for them. They were too blah. I doubt I'll ever eat there again, but only because it was a business dinner. I just don't think I'll get to Geneva again.“
