Bella Trattoria

This place has the best Italian food creations, although I can't compare it to your Ma's food or food you may know from the actual boot shaped country. Many, if not all, of the pasta are made from scratch in house. The food is incredible! Be aware there are two dining areas - one is more appropriate for a quiet(ish) dinner date, the other is more family dining /bar atmosphere after a long day touring the city - less waiting for a table and very casual.... And they serve the same food out of the same kitchen... Either way, you won't be disappointed. You will LOVE IT!

I have absolutely fallen in love with this place. I got the carbonara sbagliatta and it was delightful! Very simple and elegant dish. The atmosphere was intimate and every table is accompanied by candlelight. Gianluca took our service completely to the next level. His level of professionalism, friendliness and customer service really made the whole experience for us. This is the kind of place you want to introduce to everyone you love. I will be back next time we're in the city, that's for sure.

what a delicious meal with great service and at a decent price point! came here to enjoy lunch with some friends on a saturday afternoon. we had the orecchiette, carbonara, puttanesca, and bruschetta. the texture of all of the pastas were PERFECT, especially the orecchiette. flavors were great (i wish the carbonara were a tad saltier but overall was still quite good). the service was wonderful; our waiter was very flexible with swapping out pasta types in a dish and even gave us two panna cottas on the house to end our meal on :-). would definitely come again!

It was amazing experience. First of all, servers were really kind and he passionately explained the menu. Absolutely, the taste of the foods were very good. Especially, cacio e pepe was fantastic!! pizza, gnocchi, pasta, salad, and even dessert were perfect. I would like to recommend this restaurant to my friends who will visit san francisco.

This a perfect place for a nice date night or dinner with family. It was a really nice experience overall. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. He had answers to all our questions, as well as recommendations. This is a small local business. It’s partially Black owned, partially Lantinx owned - the owners are Morgan Anderson and David Gonzalez. The decor is beautiful and they have a full bar. We got some free samples of fried polenta to start, along with fresh bread. We loved the Orecchiette Coi Friarelli - ear shaped pasta with kale, chopped eggplant, zucchini, and bechamel sauce. This was delicious! We also got the had the Tagliolini with salmon, bechamel sauce, topped with Tobiko fish eggs. Our friends both had the Potato Gnocchi with sausage and tomato sauce. As you can see, all the dishes are beautiful and very thoughtfully prepared. This is a small business that gives you a taste of Italy right here in SF. We recommend!
