Bella Pasta - five cheese jumbo ravioli french - Italian Near Me - Greece, New York

Great food and service. Took my kids out for lunch and it was so good. We had the best server. She was very accommodating and wanted to make everyone happy. She was very personable and called us all love which was cute. We had the Sicilian calamari for an appetizer and it was simply the best I have had. It was so tasty and lots of garlic. For lunch I had the special which was chicken and broccoli french which was very tasty and plenty to take home and have another meal. My son had artichoke french and he loves the gnocchi so the server suggested to have it with mozzarella cheese over it and he was so happy. I will be back and ordered take out again so my dad can taste how good the food was. read more

This is my go to spot. The food and service are always excellent and tonight was no exception . Called yesterday and Made a reservation for my birthday dinner the "big 40" . When we ( a party of 5) arrived tonight we got there a half hour early . We went to the bar and after 10 minutes I noticed the place starting to fill up so I decided to check in . The hostess couldn't find my reservation . We went through a few names but none were mine. I even looked on my phone when I had called the day before to double check. She was more than accommodating and said she would totally get us in. After another 15 minutes at the bar she came and grabbed us and seated us. It was amazing service and quick thinking and she's very good at her job. read more

Service was great, food was good, there was too much of it Nice place on a Monday night -- quiet and we could talk to each other.

First time here last Thursday. A very nice, reasonably priced venue for more casual comfortable dining and great Italian food menu and quality. Highly recommend the stuffed haddock over angel hair. Service was outstanding. read more

A Wonderful delight. I got chicken Asiago . Chicken, asparagus, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, with your choice of pasta. No pictures because I mowed though it to fast. I have been here before a long time ago. Bella Pasta is still as good as my memory read more

Great food and service on Saturday, May 13. I really enjoyed the tripe and my sister had chicken Parmesan. Wonderful service! read more

After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We were only in Rochester for one night but I wanted to find a good place to eat at. The restaurant is large, with a bustling bar and a dining area that was designed to resemble Italy. The kitchen is also located near the bar, but it cannot be looked into. There are seats everywhere, with booths being the main seating choice aside from bar seats. We had s 15-20 minute wait but it was slightly longer than that. There was a large gathering at the bar. It looks like a Christmas party was going on. Daughter ordered the pasta arrabbiata. The entree has sautéed sausage, peppers, onions and mushroom in a spicy marinara sauce. It was served with choice of pasta and she chose angel hair. OMG. She thought it was nice and meaty and that the pasta had a wonderful texture. They definitely didn't skimp on the sausage and she was pretty full by the time she was done with dinner. She said that she would definitely order this again. It came with a a choice of soup or salad and she chose salad with parmesan peppercorn dressing. Daughter thought that the salad was a typical run of the mill restaurant salad but she thought that the dressing was phenomenal because she's never had it before and she's easily impressed. Hubs had the tripe, which was Italian style with tomatoes, herbs and topped with parmesan. What's weird was that it didn't come with any pasta and it wasn't offered. He ended up using the bread that came along with our meals to sop up the sauce. Other than that, he thought the tripe was nice and tender. If it was more spicy, it would've been better. He had a choice of soup or salad and chose minestrone soup. He thought it was ok. I ordered Sicilian calamari as my entree and decided to share it with daughter and Hubs and bummed off their meals as well. Everything was delicious. Service was friendly. Despite the restaurant being crowded, service was relatively quick. There was a slight wait between our salad and the entree. Hubs told our server about our daughter running low on blood sugar and they brought out our entrees fast. I was really awed by the service. The manager even came back to check that we were doing good. Even though it was rainy, cold and hard to find a parking space, I'm glad we came here. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

Absolutely delicious gnocchi Alfredo and tiramisu. Service was speedy and excellent. Excited to come again!

Stopped for a quick lunch while in the area . Chicken Ceaser Salad was primo... my wife got the same dish but on a bead of fresh warm pasta which is a specialty of theirs. it was very good despite the seemingly Hot pasta /cold salad dichotomy, it was amazingly well done. read more

I went here for a birthday party and everything was excellent. Attentive staff, friendly owner, fresh authentic Italian food. Big portions, great chicken French. Reasonable prices. Would definitely return. read more

Always great to dine. Entrees, specials and pizzas are excellent. They have a friendly staff, easy to park your car and not overpriced.

Seriously amazing and authentic Italian food! We just moved to this area and started frequenting Bella Pasta (before the COVID-19 chaos). That's when we met Jeff, a wonderful server who educated us on all the different dishes to try. They have the most wonderful Clam Chowder I've ever tasted, creamy goodness. When complimenting the owner, he advised that all their dishes were made from scratch, which is clear in the quality of each dish we've had to this point. The Italian Wedding Soup is very good as well. My favorite dish is the Capellini Pasta Salad. It's tossed in garlic and olive oil and topped with a chicken Caesar salad. SO GOOD! I would have never thought the two would make such an incredible combination, but this is on point! Order any dessert, you can't go wrong. No room after dinner? Bring it home - you won't regret it! The Carrot Cake is traditional and moist, the Berry Mascarpone Layer Cake is indescribable perfection, and the Cannolis - well, let's just say I savor every bite of this glorious sweet thing and there might be a moan or two involved. Then COVID-19 happened and what's a girl to do when she needs her Italian food fix? YES Bella Pasta is open! They do curbside pickup or delivery within 5 miles. :) Now my belly is full of Bella Pasta goodness and I'm one very happy customer. read more

I had dinner at the bar and watched the Bills game. The young bartender was alone and very busy, yet she greeted each customer and was successful at keeping all happy. She also took and delivered the kitchen orders so my chicken parm arrived pipping hot. After the house salad, the entree portion could have served two, but I chose to eat minimal ziti and nearly finished the large portion of chicken. I enjoyed the meal and especially the attentive service even though Buffalo lost (again). read more

One of our favorite places to go for food. Simple and classic interior and the food is amazing. The Cappellini salad is a must if you're looking for something unique and delicious. And they have the best extra dirty martini in the area. read more

The chicken french was highly recommended. I opted for the haddock french on escarole. I'd agree with other Yelpers that the French sauce is not thick but it is flavorful. The fish was perfectly cooked and flakey. Their Italian wedding soup had lovely little meatballs. I also sampled the pizza, the dough was delightful and well topped with veg and cheese. I wish they had early bird specials or options of a petite portion. read more

Whole place smelled like bad fish, should have let that be a warning. Server listed specials, then when we ordered, first thing we ordered Pizza said out of Pizza? 6:30pm on a Thursday? Should have said that when telling specials. 4 of us ordered, brought one of us Chicken French, no one ordered that, Broiled Haddock was what was ordered....looked at her pad and then said ok it would be a few minutes. 15 minutes later the broiled haddock showed up!! I had Linguine&White Clam Sauce, 6 tiny clams over TASTELESS pasta & sauce. Will NOT be going back read more

We had a funeral to attend in the Area. It's not too often we get dressed up so we wanted to make it worth it. Although you don't need to be dressed fancy. Casual is A-okay. We have always been wanting to try this place and we finally did! A decent selection of beers on tap. Although the waitress thought Guinness was an ipa. I'll just pretend I didn't hear that. Decided to go out on a limb and order something new. I got the stuffed haddock casino over angel hair. It was amazing!! The wife's chicken Alfredo was too thick for me. Kinda hard to eat to be honest. Oh well next time we know to get something different. Both meals came with soup or salad we both got salad and I have to say my croutons were too hard. I was embarrassingly crunching and the people could hear me from all the way across the place. Luckily I only tried to eat one. Waitress was nice. Hostess was nice and we were seated by the bar area and the bartender dude was having a great time serving up drinks doing a bang up job! Would much rather come here than Olive Garden any day. read more

We LOVE Bella Pasta! We just held my dad's birthday dinner there, and it was a wonderful experience... delicious food, great atmosphere, attentive service... they have yummy fish fries, their pizza is among the best in our area. And their staff is professional and friendly. It's definitely our go-to! read more

I give it a 2 rating because the food is good. Very good cooks. Here's the problem. I go to Bella pasta almost every day, if not everyday then at least a few times a week. The food is great, the servers are the best. I normally never have a problem and I try to never complain. I can't just keep letting this go. It's Sep 19, @12:15 I actually just walked out. I go in and sit at the bar. The girl working behind the bar, I'm not sure is she's slow, like mentally or she's just so flighty that it makes her seem that way. I sat there for about 10 min as she walked by me several times. She was to busy standing at the Register batting her eyes with a big grin on her face then taking care of the customers. I could tell others were upset as well but didn't want to say anything. Bottom line, she should not be a bartender. This isn't my first time dealing with her. Usually I get up and go ask for a table, so that's what I did. This all took place before noon. So it wasn't that full. Their were a lot of tables open. So I ask the hostess for a table, now she just sat a party of 3 people. She tells me it's gonna be maybe 15 or 25 min!! I looked around and thought, Why! There are plenty tables open, you just sat people. At least put me at a table. Then I realized it was the same hostess I had about a week previous that did the same thing to me. But that time I wanted a table she told me, 20 to 30 min and I walked away and sat at the bar. The bartender, Barb. Very nice woman. Great service I got with her. She's the best. I believe the hostess Recognized me from the last time and did this Purposely. But it's fine. I don't like to complain but I couldn't just let this keep going on and not say anything. I will find another place to eat I guess. It sucks because I really like that place. But I can't deal with Ignorance. The bartender is terrible. If I own that place she would be gone. But I don't so I'll move on. Good luck everyone with your service. The food you will love. read more

What a pleasant surprise . The assortment was expansive. Sea food ,veal , chicken and more . We travel quite a bit and try to find local establishments, never the franchised eateries. Jeff was our server and very knowledgeable . Even ordered the fresh halibut and raviolis to go, for a hungry baseball player on the Rochester Red Wings.. read more

The food and service has been amazing every time I've eaten here. One of my favorite local spots!

Food is awesome, attention to detail Pasta was cooked perfectly and meatballs were large. 'Joy' was our server and I can say she is great. Very attentive, polite and always there when you need her. I will say all of the service staff were great. They picked up our dishes promptly when I put them at the end of the table leaving us plenty of room. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. A very welcoming feeling. read more

I am a frequent customer of this wonderful restaurant and the food is usually excellent. I was there for lunch today and ordered a very disappointing fish fry. The lunch price for the order was $17.00 and I was ok with that, but I would have expected better from this restaurant. It came with fries and coleslaw. The fries were good, the fish was ok, but the coleslaw was not good at all. It came in a tiny little plastic container and tasted like it was old and spoiled. I also ordered coffee and it was old and bitter. I hate complaining to any waitress about old coffee, but I should have done that. I just wish she would have asked, and it wasn't that busy at the time I was there, but she looked like she was too busy to care. read more

About 2 years ago we visited Bella Pasta and enjoyed the food. Just this weekend we treated our senses and palates with Italian Fare. This visit confirmed that Bella Pasta is as close to real Italian than most Italian Restaurants. This is not a Tex-Mex Italian version with Bolognese or Piccatta, this is real cuisine in a friendly and modest environment. We ordered the Escargots and Buffalo Wings, Rich and Poor. They were delicious, especially the Escargots. I enjoyed the Bella Pasta Bella Pasta Special that has Capellini pasta served with artichokes, Kalamata olives, onions, sundried tomatoes and mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce, and I added Chicken. It was an experience to taste layers of flavor & the textures. My wife had a small Pizza and shared some of my plate. I will return again to enjoy the Service, Smiles and Food. Fancy, probably not, Quality, absolutely. Nestled away in a small mall off Long Pond Road, this is a great restaurant with prices that make the food a great value, read more

Service is great food is almost always amazing however the last time I was in it was not quite right but I couldn't say anything because this place is always amazing and sometimes things just happen read more

Hands down the BEST! pasta restaurant in Rochester, NY. Our waitress, Tammy was great and friendly. The eggplant parmesan had good flavor and my husband had the ravioli with sausage and meatballs, he loved it. The portions and the food temperature were perfect. The staff and customers were friendly, great ambiance. read more

This is one of my favorite spots. Went in for the (beer battered) fish fry which came out absolutely perfect and crunchy. My wife got the breaded fish fry which was just as perfect. We started with the artichoke French app which you can see in my pic. This app might be my favorite appetizer in the entire city if not everywhere. Highly recommend this place. read more

Absolutely great dinner. In town from NC and took family there. Busy place and we were seated immediately. Great service and the chicken parm was so good as three of us enjoyed! Great Caesar salads with fresh dressing, fresh bread and we thoroughly enjoyed. Biggest surprise was the Cappelinni salad- warm pasta with Caesar salad on top and my wife love it. Thank you Bella Pasta! read more

On February 25, my wife and I went to Bella Pasta It's the first place we went to for a date, more than 2 years ago. On this visit she had wood fired pizza which was very tasty and cooked to perfection. I on the other hand, had a bowl of tripe with salad ($13.00). It was cooked to perfection also. The week before my Italian friends and I went to another Italian restaurant not that far away for tripe, which was under cooked and just added to a light sauce. Bella's was, as I said cooked to perfection and in a delicious sauce. There was plenty of food to eat. The salad was really fresh and alot there to enjoy. Francesca was our waitress. She was Very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a great experience for lunch. read more

Bella pasta is a great place for classic Italian food as well as inventive spins on classic Italian dishes. They have an array of pasta pizza and sandwich options. I decided to get an order of calamari and a chicken French pizza. The calamari had a light crispy batter. The chicken french pizza was amazing. The sauce was a nice French sauce with a hint of lemon topped with plenty of cheese and chicken. Add a great wait staff and fast service to the list of great things as well. read more

If it were possible to give them one star I would. I've been calling for two days trying to place a catering order without success. I've been promised three different return phone calls And I'm still waiting as I write this. How do these people stay in business? Lots of other choices out there. Bella Pasta is not so Bella. read more

Had a large group for a fun get together. Service was very good. Food was outstanding. Randy, the owner, was great. He shared ideas about dishes. He brought tastings of his favorites. And he treated people here that they were his friends and family. A very friendly place to eat Today I was here alone so sat at the bar. I was greeted as a walked in by a smiling young lady. At the bar I was served very quick and EVERYBODY was friendly and smiling. After a cold draft beer I opted for *** with basil cream sauce with one meatball and one sausage. The side salad was very fresh but when my dinner came the meat was in a red sauce and my pasta on one of the best I had had. That one little down side was offset by the sauce Great night. read more

Horrible experience went there for the first and last time last night Dec 12, 2023. Took my mom and dad there for anniversary dinner. My food came to me swimming in a thick yellow oily substance could not even eat it was totally disgusting. Antipasto was terrible just a few peices of salami and a slice of Swiss cheese cut up. I'm sorry but that is not Antipasto it was basically a Julian salad. Calamari was swimming in oil and very slimy. Mom and dad meals were OK not great by any means. Cheese cake was also frozen when it was brought to the table. Service was terrible food took forever. Just an overall horrible experience!! read more

The best Chicken French in Rochester! I've tried so many but nothing beats this. I hate when a French sauce is really thick and gravy like so Bella Pasta's French sauce is perfect. I would eat this for every meal if I could! Bella Pasta also has great prices, especially for their lunch specials. The service is great and caring. They are so quick without giving you that feeling of being rushed out or that they rushed your food. Love, love, love Bella Pasta read more
