Every time we've been here the food and service has been exceptional. Highly recommend!!

Food, wine and cocktails were all delicious. The restaurant is warm and inviting. Would definitely eat there again!

I love the layout of the restaurant and the open kitchen concept. The interior is beautiful with plenty of tables and chairs for big groups. There is a small and pretty outdoor seating too. I got their special lunch menu (it is like a business lunch menu) which comes with a house salad or soup (lentil or tomato), a seafood pasta, and a slice of cake. The tomato soup was slightly creamy and tasted good. The seafood pasta was filled with fresh ingredients and it was mild spicy, which was perfect for me. The dish presentation was ten out of ten. However, the warm linguine under the delicious seafood clumped together like a ball. Instead of eating the linguine in long strands, I was breaking up the pasta and consuming it in 1inch strands. As for the dessert, it had the right sweetness and the serving size was perfect after a big entree. My server was amazing. He was friendly and serviced with a smile. A complimentary fresh and yummy focaccia bread was served too. The restaurant is easily accessible via the free garage parking. Street parking is available too.

Service & ambiance were great for a Saturday evening dinner. Pasta was good but in my opinion, nothing extraordinary. There is outdoor seating which is great when the weather is nice & parking is easy!

From the moment we arrived, the staff were soo friendly and professional. The service levels were 5 Star. The staff worked as a team and our beverage glass were replaced every time they were at half full. The food was delicious too. We had the calamari for an appetizer (perfectly fried/seasoned) and then i had the house salad (fresh baby lettuces, tasty vinaigrette) and then, the FANTASTIC entree, smoked duck Tortellinis. OMG! Mouth watering. Even the bread seems like they bake it right there. To top all this off, our Server, Elizabeth, was so amazing. Professional and personable and never missed a step. She's everything you would want in a 5 star wait person. Can't wait to go there again. Only downside to the whole experience... the sound levels. It was lunch time and to have a conversation was almost impossible. it was louder than standing by a 737 jet engine. If they ever fix that, this place could be world class.

So pleasantly surprised by this place! They have a nice patio that I brought my dog to. The brussel sprouts are so good, would come just for this. The bread is also delicious, I think it's focaccia. I tried the pesto gnocchi, which was really tasty and came with a giant dollop of ricotta, which I always love. I'm interested in trying all the other menu options!

Mia Bella Trattoria impressed me with their fresh seafood and warm atmosphere. The appetizers were a knockout - the calamari was perfectly light and crispy, and the octopus had a delicious char. The fresh-baked bread with the herbed olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette dipping sauces was a great way to start the meal. My entree, the seafood lasagna, was mostly fantastic. The tomato sauce was light and flavorful, and the salmon was cooked to a perfect tenderness. However, a couple of the other types of seafood in the lasagna seemed a bit undercooked for my taste. Despite the slight miss with the lasagna, the service was excellent, and the overall dining experience was great. They even have a convenient parking garage nearby, which is a big plus! I would definitely recommend Mia Bella Trattoria, especially for those who love fresh seafood. Just be sure to mention your preferred doneness for seafood dishes if you order something similar to the lasagna.

This place is has a cozy vibe with a bit of elegance to it. It definitely can be considered a neighborhood favorite. You can dress up or dress casual and still be fine. The food here is good and cost friendly. I have been here two other times years apart. Each time I go the experience is enjoyable. The only complaint I had this particular time was the food took long to arrive. They were very busy and may not have anticipated a Thursday night being that busy. There were lots of groups in there as well. The have a variety of items on the menu. Although I am not a vegetarian they had lots of options. Our waitress was a very nice Colombian woman. I can not remember her name. She was nice and gave good recommendations on my drinks. Calamari-7.8/10 Seafood Capalleni 8/10 ( a little more salt to the pasta water would have made it a 9) Chicken Parmigiana-8/10 Bread and olive oil dip- 10/10 Jalapeño Pineapple margarita- 8.5/10 Blood Orange Margarita- 9/10

Stopped here for lunch today. There's a parking garage behind the restaurant and it's connected so you can take the elevator up to the 1st floor. Emilio was an awesome server. He gave me recommendations, but they were more seafood ones. When I told him I wasn't into seafood, he gave me some really good non-seafood ones. I went with the Beef Tenderloin Medallions with a mushroom ravioli in a peppercorn sauce. Amazing stuff. It all just came together. The bread with the sauce is pretty. It's like a sweet dipping sauce. You can also create your own pastas and pizzas. They do a good variety of foods.
