I'm so glad my husband and I decided to go inside this cute family own Italian restaurant. Don't let the outside fool you, inside is really cute and well decorated with Tuscany look The food is so good, my husband had the cioppino, we were quite surprised how big the bowl was and let me tell you, my husband is a big cioppino eater, this has to be by far the best cioppino he had ever had since we moved out here in the valley from the bay area, it's probably better then any bay area Italian restaurant, even I wish I had gotten it, I got the baked rigatoni and I really loved it, portions are huge , we both had to take ours home. We recommend the homemade tiramsu , this has to be the best tiramsu we had ever had, I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want too many people knowing about this secret gem, also because we didn't need any reservations. Service was excellent, very friendly family. Definitely we be coming back

Bella Italia is very nice place for dinner while in town. It is not the best ever, but we were quite happy with almost everything we ordered. The place is really pretty and the prices are fair. We just loved the service. We were seated straight away. They have a nice wine list. Our server knew the menu well and was fast but we never felt rushed. I would make a reservation. We were there on a weekday and ate early so we were in great shape. Most of the food we had was great. The minestrone soup was just perfect. We also loved our salads. I had the chicken marsala and it was just so melt in your mouth wonderful and packed with yummy mushrooms. We also had the ravioli in a white sauce that was so good. I would get that again. Finally, we had fried ravioli and it was good, not great. That I will not try again. There is just too much thick crust for me, but you might love it. The ravioli within the crust was very good. All in all we would come back. We just loved the service, the calm atmosphere and the vast majority of the food. Give them a try.

Amazing restaurant with plenty of good food. The atmosphere is very nice and the staff is amazing. They have plenty of different pizzas as well as a special “bag lunch” that I love to order for takeout. I love the bread with a special cheese they serve when you order their food!

Decided to try out a different type of Italian restaurant and came here.. My appetizer was actually the best (Portobello Mushroom with the Pesto sauce) The bread comes with this spicy type of butter that I've never had and was really good. Overall the food was good but not amazing. In regards to the time, it was actually slow (only 2 parties already served at the time) and the food still took about 25 minutes to come out; not necessarily a negative but just wanted to note that. Service was good and friendly. It's a nice little spot if you want to try a different Italian place.

Good environment and atmosphere!!! Awesome service!!! Our server is amazing!!! Delicious food, which is served relatively fast!!! Love their cioppino and pasta!!! Highly recommend them! And you wouldn’t want to miss their desserts! Would recommend trying their “bombs”! We dined as a family of five! It is about $20 - $30 per person!

Great food. Friendly staff. Not as pricey as I thought it would be. Didn't get 5 stars cuz it took a while between apps and entrees and my 7 year old should've gotten her food first. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 2 glasses of wine, 2 sodas, a small margherita pizza, child size pepperoni pizza, 1 cup of excellent clam chowder, and 2 seafood entrees, plus delicious table bread and a beautiful dessert for exactly $100 tip included.

After dropping off my car carrier to my old pal Oscar Mendoza, so he can get his cars down to the Riverside Concours d'elegance next weekend, we headed straight to the Bella Italia Restaurant. Being in Modesto with a tried and true Mexican...I expected tacos! But...Man-O-Man was I pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing! Well worth the trip. 5
