This food was amazing! There were 14 of us and every dish that came out was as good as another. Even the balsamic dressing/salad was delicious. Loved the eggplant Parm, chicken marsala, greens and beans, marscapone cake, chicken French, gnocchi and sauce - all delicious! Our group is made up of the ultimate Italian food critics - and NO one was disappointed. Our only feedback is that the waitress was tolerable. Thank goodness for all the folks that came along and assisted her (we were a big party). All were sweet and helpful. But her? She should try a new line of work, people just aren't her thing! Food, though? Amazing! read more

Dreadful. The gnocchi was disgusting and bitter. It was a gummy mess. The marinara sauce was nothing more than chopped up minced tomatoes and raw onions. I've had salsa that could pass as a marinara better than that. read more

The food was excellent but the billing was confusing. I paid $40.35 cash for a $31.34 bill and was told they don't do change anymore, just dollars. I assumed I would receive $9 back since they took my .35 but instead received $8 back. I think it's a slimy way to make more money. read more

Solid lunch choice. Tasty red sauce, yummy soup, delicious chicken parm. Service was great, prices were reasonable.

I really enjoy going to Bella Pasta with family from time to time. The food is always great. The service... could be better. My family member was in a waitress' way today and I mentioned that the waitress needed to get through and the waitress ROLLED HER EYES at my family member. So rude. I still like this place, but I hope I have another server next time. read more

If I could give this place 0 I would. read more

Was in town for a family matter and decided to stop at Bella Pasta for dinner, as our family matter took place just up the street. They are supposedly known for their delicious Chicken French. I ordered the Chicken Parm with angel hair pasta and a salad with creamy blue cheese. We got artichokes French and Sicilian Calamari as appetizers. The calamari was okay. A bit overcooked for my taste, and nothing really special. The artichokes French were delicious! I would have ordered that as my dinner had I known they were the best items I'd eat that meal. The salad was eh. The creamy blue cheese was super chunky and peppery. I wouldn't order that dressing again. The parm was okay. HUGE portion. But I didn't love the sauce. It was a bit bitter for my taste. The angel hair was also a mistake. It was too soft for the dish. Would have ordered a heartier pasta had I known it'd be soft. I had an entire chicken breast and half the platter of pasta to take home. I tasted the meatball my mom got with her pasta. It was REALLY good. Very similar to what we make at home. Delicious! The decor here is kind of cheesy but the staff was friendly. I don't think I'm a huge fan of standard Rochester sauce. I don't even like Red Fedele's although it's better than this, but it is still kind of blah and bitter. Eh, order the meatballs and the artichokes French. You're guaranteed a good meal with those 2 items. read more

I know I will be back to Bella Pasta very soon. A friend posted on Facebook that she was getting the capellini salad on her way home from work and so I decided to check out the menu. That night I planned a girls night out. The capellini salad was enlightening and delicious. Cold romaine Caesar salad on top of warm capellini pasta. The dressing coated the lettuce and the pasta just enough. I finished the entire portion but mostly because I wasn't sure how it would travel and last for seconds. Before our entrees my friend and I got the Warsaw wings. Another enlightening item! The homemade wing sauce was so tasty but the blue cheese was absolutely delectable. I wouldn't let the waitress take the empty plate away. I dipped the salad's grilled chicken in the remaining wing sauce and blue cheese dressing until I was scraping the plate. We ate in the bar area, by choice, which was loud. Next time we will get a table in the dining area. And there will be a next time. Soon. read more

I used to go to Bella Pasta when they were Bella Pasta Cafe on Ridge Road and I loved it. I told everyone I knew about their heaping portions and delicious pastas! I visited the new Ridgeway location last week and was disappointed to find that a lot had changed. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was just okay. I like my alfredo to have lots and lots of cheesy goodness and flavor (isn't that why anyone orders alfredo?) but I found it to be bland. I had to add a ton of parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to get it to taste like anything. I also think it had been sitting out for a while before the server brought it to me because it had started to congeal. Another disappointment was the service. I consider myself to be a great tipper--if you give me attentive service, I'll happily tip you 25%. When the table next to mine got their appetizers before my party did, I didn't think too much of it. But then we kept waiting, and waiting...and finally ours came out. The other table also got their entrees before us, and at that point I politely asked the server if there was an estimate on when ours would come out. I don't think this was an unreasonable request, but I got a very abrupt reply with a lot of attitude from her: that we had ordered appetizers, so she was giving us some time before bringing out the entrees. Okay, but we had been done with our apps for at least 15 minutes. Regardless of that, I didn't appreciate her attitude. Unfortunately I would not recommend Bella Pasta Restaurant to anyone based on this visit, and I can't say I'll be returning any time soon. I could get much better food at a better price from a myriad of other restaurants. read more

This place has delicious Italian food! But this review is for our server Jeff, who did such an incredible job handling our small party this weekend. Serving parties can be difficult and we even had some food allergies in our group. He handled it like a champ and there wasn't a single mistake despite our custom dinners. Thank you Bella Pasta and Jeff for a wonderful lunch! read more

Excellent Italian food. Been coming here consistently for a long time. Good meals each visit, and the specials are also amazing !

Grubhub delivery. Awesome across the board. Wife got the chicken angel hair pasta salad. Blew us away how much flavor there was, especially for a light dish. I had the lasagne. Large portion, perfectly done, excellent flavor and moist. We have ordered the same twice so far! So good read more

The food is delicious, our favorite is the kitchen sink pizza. The entree portions often leave you with enough for seconds or even thirds! Ordering online and picking up is super easy as well. read more

I had a very mixed feelings about our lunch here A couple friends had recommended this place so we thought we'd give it a try Well first impression was that it's old. Old family run kind of place that is not interested in staying up to date. Fairly common in Rochester. It was clean so that's the important thing The lunch menu was pretty standard (I included pictures). I did like seeing steamed clams for $8.00 I ordered those clams and lunch sized rigatoni with meatball. Mom got a burger The clams were great. Hot and tender Rigatoni is Not house made. They were just ok. I won't order that again. I liked the sauce. It was not sweet that seems to be common these days. The meatball was good. That I would get again My moms burger was terrible. Small, burned and dry. We sent it back. The owner came out to apologize and that was great but the next one was only a little better. They cook their burgers to well done there. I wish we were told that by the waitress when she had ordered it rare. She wouldn't have gotten one there I think that if you stay Italian here you'll be ok read more

The Mother's Day brunch buffet was very good, with the exception of the coffee, which everyone at my table agreed was very weak and tasted a little bit off, like it had been sitting around for a while. Our server and the host were very accommodating, and helped us set up my nephew's high chair (he's too young for the restaurant high chairs). I stuck with breakfast items like fresh fruit and French toast since it was early, though there were lunch items that looked great, like tossed salad, pasta and broccoli, and eggplant parmesan, as well as a carving station. I enjoyed creating an omelet to order - I'm particular about eggs, and this omelet was done perfectly without being overcooked. Dessert options included rice pudding, vanilla pudding, brownies, cheesecakes squares, and cannoli. I'm not sure if Bella Pasta does brunch on other weekends, or if it was just for Mother's Day, but I would go back again (maybe having coffee at home before I go!). read more

We went there to celebrate our Mothers Birthday. The service was decent but the food was awful. They brought out the bread which was burnt on the bottom and the crust was so hard it was awful. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo with broccoli. The chicken was so over cooked and tough it was uneatable. The alfredo sauce looked like paste and had no taste what so ever. No seasoning at all. I told the waitress about the chicken and she asked if I wanted them to throw another one on. I told her no as I could here it the kitchen they were more concerned about the football game than cooking. My wife's Lasagna had not taste and the bottom shell needed a steak knife to cut it. The noodles must have been bought at a local store and were not home made . When we asked to have the left over's boxed she asked if I wanted the chicken which I had set aside in the box also. Are you kidding? Never again. read more

My hubby's and i were in the mood for lasagna. It was pretty good, I was really surprised it came in styrofoam containers. The salads were good. The dressing i was like wow thts really good, house dressing. Not bad will come here again and i will recommend this place to anyone. read more

Bella Pasta - Name of this place. - Italian Near Me - Greece, New York

Overall an average restaurant experience. Nothing that stood out, but nothing horrible. Went on a double date and shared a couple of apps - 1 order of fried calamari (so-so), and an eggplant parm (also just so-so.. Very thin slices slathered in sauce). We had 2 orders of the Haddock French - the fish was cooked well but the sauce lacked the traditional tang of Rochester style French sauce. Definitely needed more lemon and a better wine to start with. We also had an order of the gnocchi, again slathered in sauce (don't get me wrong, the sauce wasn't bad but you can hardly see the food underneath). They tasted homemade and were good compared to the alternative, but were very heavy. The meatballs were also homemade and I was told very tasty. The service was also average, as was the decor and the overall mood of the restaurant. read more

BELLA PASTA did an amazing job with the food for my son's graduation this weekend and were so professional and accommodating. Everyone loved the food and were impressed with the overall quality and taste. Danny and Randy- Thank you for working around our last minute guest list change! I recommend the Bella Pasta to everyone...for catering or for an authentic Italian sit down meal. read more

They provided a relatively last minute take-out catering for 30 when most places said they could not (lots of holiday parties going on.) We had the ziti, chicken French, roast beef, roasted potatoes, greens and beans, and tossed salad. All was delicious. Parmesan cheese and butter may have been forgotten, as they were extremely busy at the time, but food was ready on time and nice and warm for our post-funeral family gathering. read more

We are quarantined in our home, we ordered to go with free delivery within 5 miles, food was unbelievable! Everything so good and fresh. My husband said what are we ordering tomorrow night!? They even delivered a bottle of wine !!! Thank you Bella Pasta for a great experience:) read more

Even when crowded the staff does a good job of serving some delicious food. Try the Sicilian calamari.

You can find good Italian food in Greece; this is the place for you. It's in a strip mall off Ridgeway which you could drive right by if you didn't know it was there. There is a Chinese take out and a Starbucks in this area as well. The salads were good for lunch. You could really fill yourself up at lunch if you wanted. I enjoy something light and the Capellini Pasta Salad was an interesting choice; a mixed greens salad with a protein served on top of capellini in an EVOO and garlic sauce. The Caesar Salad is also a good choice. read more

Ordered greens and beans appetizer with sausage, 4 meatballs, and Sicilian calamari and this is what I got for 25.82. NO sausage in the greens and beans, I don't even think this portion is a full cup, sad small portion of the calamari, and flavorless meatballs. So disappointed. I've always liked their greens and beans too. What comes out of that kitchen is not consistent! These serving sizes are ridiculously small. read more

Not impressed at all by this place. The food was okay, but severely overpriced. It is just diner food, so I don't understand the premium pricing. The decor is underwhelming and the bar area gives the place a trashy vibe. Everything tasted like it came from a microwave. We won't be wasting our time here again. read more

I've been going to Bella Pasta since they were a tiny restaurant on W Ridge Rd. It was a hidden little gem where my friend & I could go to when we wanted to get together, have a great meal & not get the stink eye from the manager because we took too long catching up. Now that they've moved we still get that same great food, still no stink eye, but we're considerate of others because they're much busier now that they've been "discovered". I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten there, but their Italian wedding soup is by far the best of an Italian restaurant in the area. It's full of chicken, meatballs, pasta & veggies. Very little broth. Perfect. I drive 40 minutes just for their soup. If you haven't tried it you most definitely should. read more

my mother and i both got 10 piece wings hot and medium mix fried hard for pickup. when she came back with the food we opened the containers to see that although it was cooked the chicken was soft and mushy with no texture. the sauce was mild at the most and they upcharged the wings $2 each bringing the cost of the entree from $26 to $30 with a $1 container fee for each one. my mother was so displeased she had to cook them more herself. will never go back read more

Worst italian food I have ate in a while! Ordered the pasta special which I paid extra for chicken on it which was not included when the order arrived. The pasta was soggy and it did not taste like marsala sauce like it was supposed to. My daughter got spaghetti and meatballs and the meatballs were so hard I had to cut them with a steak knife. Taste was lacking. The soup of the day no one would touch. Looked like a chicken soup but had the odor of smoked sausage. Grubhub refunded the chicken missing on the pasta but the rest of the $50 order I was stuck with. Tried to call the restaurant and it went to voicemail, to which the voicemail box was full. Would not recommend. read more

Atmosphere is great. Good food with a lot of different specials on the weekends. I like the chicken French and parm here. Also have a good sauce and meatballs. Daughter loves the Arancini. read more

We thought this was another incarnation of Bogeys, or the other bland restaurants that have operated out of this location. We were wrong. The food is fantastic! Chicken Parm, egg plant Parm, delicious red sauce. The owners have lavished attention to many details and we will be back for the delicious smelling seafood that many around us were ordering. Our server, was the owners enthusiastic and helpful daughter. We found out that this restaurant is an expansion of the smaller restaurant that once operated on W. Ridge Rd. A good sign that they are building a growing customer base. Congratulations! read more

They reopened last night - great location, same waitstaff and chef plus some new staff, and of course - awesome food! Full bar and two private party rooms at this location, very nice. Try the Chicken French pizza! read more

We have been missing Bella Pasta since February 2014, when they had to close their former location due to no fault of their own. Finally, after a long 8 month wait, they reopened in a BIGGER and BETTER location in Greece. Their food was always a cut above the rest; their "French's" ranged from Chicken, Haddock, Scallop, Artichoke and more than I can remember, are awesome! Probably the best white sauce that I can remember. We sampled the wood fired pizza tonight and the crust is thin but firm, not at all soggy but not cracker-like either. Toppings are rich and savory. This location has 2 private rooms, one for 28 persons and the other for 75 persons, which are nicely decorated and both have access to the full bar. The wait staff was a mix of old and new, but the friendliness and home-style service is the same, if not better than the old location. My Scallop Diavolo over Linguini was perfect and certainly enough for lunch tomorrow, just enough Diavolo to make my eyes water a bit :-) This will be my go-to for a once a week dinner out! read more

Baked Lasagna and chicken French. Both were delicious . The chicken French is one of the best I've had in years!!

Absolutely amazing! Threw a surprise party, and everything was wonderful from the room to the staff to the food! I appreciate Kelly for coordinating everything with me and to Nikki our server for the party who did a fantastic job!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

Went back and Bella Pasta is still great. Chicken Parm and Sausage and Chicken Pizziola. Sicilian Calamari was great. Could have used a little more of the topping mixed in but maybe that's just me. Some people may not like that much. I will definitely get again but I'll mention that I'd like more toppings (garlic/oil sauce that is mixed in ). This time we tried a dessert and shared it. Boy are we glad we did. What was recommended to us was the Lemon Cannoli Cake. OMG! This was perfect to finish off the night. Not heavy at all. Really reminded me of a Spring or Summer dessert. I will certainly get this again and I'm not sharing with my husband next time. I want it all! Can't wait to go back and maybe try something new. read more

I always stop in for Tripe. Their sauce is magnificent and the tripe is not chewy so actually it is the best since Roncone's on East Ave closed. Today my daughter in law took me back to Bella's telling me it's the best place for Ravioli French which I have never seen on a menu. OMG this is so very delicious and they are huge with plenty of french sauce. I have been coming here since they closed on the Ridge and I am so happy they reopened in Greece. Their food is wonderful and the atmosphere is pleasant with a full bar. You have to try anything on the menu and you will be back. Thank you Bella's for another great meal. read more
