What a pleasant surprise this place turned out to be. I was in the area for work and stumbled upon his place. I really didn't expect much and hadn't been to Boerne in at least a decade, but I was craving Italian food and took my chances. Boy, am I glad I did! I ordered the nights special - veal saltimbocca with grilled shrimp and a Caesar salad. The veal was flavorful and tender and the sauce was nice and lemony. The shrimp were plump and perfectly cooked. The others at my table ordered the Shrimp Fra Diablo and the Shrimp Florentine. I had a taste of theirs also and they were both delicious. If you're ever in the area, please stop by this place. I look forward to going back someday. read more

Had a family anniversary dinner here,,,,all staff and owner were super helpful! Everyone really enjoyed the hospitality that was provided. We've been going for few years, now they opened a location and we will no doubt be customers for life... Food is extraordinary, definitely would recommend. read more

I've been going for Bella Sera for over a decade, since I first moved to Boerne at about 14 years old. It is an absolute staple. The restaurant stands all the way down on the Northside of Main Street, outside the busy section near the square. Service has ALWAYS been awesome. The owners are very cool, personable, and professional. I've never had any issues with the service at all. Wine list is great. It's not overwhelmingly large like many restaurants, but they have essential Italian wines like mine and my wife's favorites, delicious Chianti Classico, and also a spread from France, U.S., and other places. Great selection. Now the food. It is AWESOME. They serve a lot of traditional Italian cuisine such as cheesy lasagna, cannelloni, manicotti, etc. They also have many dishes similar to what we're used to in America such as spaghetti and meat balls and Stromboli. Their specialties are what is REALLY love. The many different chicken dishes are extremely delicious. Some of our favorites are the Chicken Piccata (pictured), Chicken Florentine (pictured), Chicken Marsala, and baked pasta trio. Please continue to support this incredible business and get some awesome food. You really gotta come back and try a few different things here. Especially the homemade garlic bread.

This is, probably, the second or third time that I've eaten at Bella Sera. Previously, I had ordered pizza to go from them, and had it for lunch this time. The pizza was good, and the food was OK. They had a lunch menu, for $10.99, and the portions were adequate. Place was fairly clean, if a bit worn, but I did feel that the food was good. I did think the servings were a bit small, however, at 10.99, it was a deal. This is a place that I would try again. read more

Place is nice inside and the waitress is lovely! Love the chicken picatta and cannoli stuffed beef. The salad was good. The soup was good but needs to add little more veggies or maybe little small pasta. But overall delicious! The bread is homemade also delicious!! You all need to come and get some good Italian food! We will come back soon! read more

Bella Sera - Carry-out Chicken Parm dinner - Pizza Near Me - Boerne, Texas

I'm not going to bash them but my food is always very greasy and over saturated with butter

We have ordered from Bella Sera several times and their food is so good. I've ordered the pasta sampler 3 times in a row because I love it so much. Their tomato sauce is to die for. They don't skimp on anything. We always get a side of garlic rolls which are usually delicious. I will say, the last time we ordered the garlic rolls were a bit hard and definetly not fresh but that was the first time we have ever been dissatisfied with anything. My husband has had the Chicken parm, the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and the lasagna and it was all good. The prices are very fair and the portions are generous. Highly recommend. read more

Solid 4. We were quickly seated on a Saturday night although they were steady our server came right to us. Taylor took excellent care of us the entire night. Very attentive and personable. The food was good portion size and hot and fast. Got some salads that were ok but their house Italian dressing was quite good. I had the chicken arrabiata which had a nice spice to it. My wife had the Italian sampler which was all together in one dish and covered in cheese so she really could not always distinguish what she was eating but overall still tasty. We had not been here in awhile but definitely will return when on north side of Boerne. read more

I had come here a week ago and I had heard that the food was really good. I had posted something on Next Door App app.. I think the people might've been sideways because they were criticizing my pictures. I'll put the same pictures on here so you can see that the food looks amazing... and I've got a stuffed rolled up dish with a light colored sauce! You can also get this with red sauce! I like their braided bread, you don't get that even at the high-end high profile places. I would highly recommend coming here give them a chance... here's your call to action I don't know the hours but I came on a Saturday at 11 AM. read more

Cute little Italian spot in Boerne! The staff is so sweet, we felt like regulars. My husband loved his chicken cacciatore, and I had the eggplant Parmigiana--crispy and delicious! Only thing I'd change? The marinara sauce needed a bit more pizzazz. But that bread?!Worth writing home (and a Yelp review) about. read more

Omg this food was soooooo good! This place not only has amazing food but good customer service! The ambience is really cool as well! We had the fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms, tilapia fish, chicken Parmesan, ribeye marsala, armetto cheesecake, lobster ravioli, caprese salad, and tortellini pink.Such great tasty food! You can smell it as soon as you walk in the door! Cant wait to visit my sister again so I can go back again! read more

This is a definite no for me. The food was absolutely bare bone mediocre Italian. The restaurant itself was dirty old and ran down. The restrooms were ratchet. Took forever to get our food. We have a small child and it took two hours to get food. I had to go and talk to the staff to get them to do something about the wait time on the food because it was so ridiculous . I will never step foot in this place again. Save your money , your time and your sanity and go somewhere else. read more

Ordered Lasagna and it was just crunchy with the stems from one of their spices. Was like eating an oregano plant. Would not recommend.

I have been to Bella Sera, Kerrville, Fredericksburg , and Boerne's locations for years. I have always for the past + years ordered my pizza half baked and not cut. Only once in this time has it come out fully cooked and cut. The server apologized and replaced the order and made sure I received what I ordered. This time I was clear as always the way I wanted my order, and after my order I repeated what I needed and why, my Girls work late and I finish it in my smoker. Kind of a tradition when we are all together. My pizza comes out with my order and when I go to open the pizza box the guy behind the bar says we don't do half bakes, never have. Well, now I understand why my wife and her friends won't go there. The servers are rude and the food is mediocre. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME or $! read more

Friends took me to lunch to welcome me to Boerne. It was such a great menu. The food was delicious. The bread warm and wonderful. The salad was nice. We had three different dishes but shared samples with each other & everything was so good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Bella Sera is all around the hill country. I like this location because it's usually never crowded. I've never had to wait and they have quite a bit of seating. Each time I've been they seem fully staffed which is great! Also, there aren't many other pasta restaurants in Boerne, so they don't have a lot of competition either. The garlic knots are seriously to die for! They are so delicious and it pairs so great with the meal. I have tried many items on the menu. My two -to-meals are the shrimp Alfredo and spaghetti with meat sauce. In the spaghetti, I live the texture of the thin noodles. The lasagna was just okay for me. It was super hot in the middle. The mozzarella cheese sticks tasted like cheese sticks. They were okay! The best time to go is during the lunch specials. The price is great and the portions are nice! Overall, I'll still continue to come and try new things on the menu! Make sure you take some bread home too! read more

Always good food at Bella Sera. Our waitress, Yan, who is new there, was very attentive and professional. Her genuine smile made us feel like we were one happy family in Italy eating at home. We will ask for Yan again our next visit! Ciao! read more

So unassuming we drove past the first time. The parking lot was packed and it looked like a really small place! Then we walked in and the smell of Italian cooking envelopes you! To start we had Mozzarella Caprese. I didn't get a picture because we ate it! Each entre came with a soup or salad. We opted for salad. Fresh and crisp. I had the veal Piccata.(pictured). It was nested on top of angel hair pasta. Plenty of lemon and delightfully salty capers. My husband had Shrimp diavolo. I again didn't get a photo. He said it was good. Looking around. The pizza looks amazing! Seeing how many people got carryout for leftovers of baked pasta. I'd say they all liked it! If you ever visit this quirky town this place is a must! read more

I went in for the first time in a long time since the place went downhill during Covid. Though it looks the same inside, much has changed. Prices are up sharply and the lunch I chose today sounded way better on paper than the nasty slop it was. Even the bread was funky. Service was OK and quick enough, but the hag who seated me was not very welcoming. I looked at what other diners had and some looked pretty good, so I'll not give up on this place entirely, but it'll probably be awhile before I return. If you live in Boerne, crave Italian, and want value for your dining dollar, I suggest Capparelli's just down the road at Fair Osks Ranch. The food is better, the portions are larger, and you'll feel satisfied when you push away from the table. read more

We typically order takeout from Bella Sera, but decided to try dining in the restaurant tonight. The service was excellent and our server joked with our kids throughout the night. The food is always on point and delicious. So much so that it's hard to try new dishes because I know how much I love the Eggplant Parmesan, which comes with a side salad or soup and spaghetti. My husband typically orders the Chicken Alfredo or Chicken Marsala and the kids love the pepperoni pizza. Everyone was happy with their entree and we shared a yummy strawberry cheesecake for dessert. I highly recommend Bella Sera! read more

Great ambiance, fast and great customer service. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu.

I have never tried this restaurant before but my son came in town and he said let's get a pizza I said okay let's give this place a try....... A little bird that installed my internet highly recommended this restaurant, and the owner is so sweet and accommodating, well they did not disappoint for sure. The garlic knots were fabulous and don't get me started on the pizza we ordered the bellasera and it was awesome. Sorry we ate it too fast to take a picture for proof guess I'll have to go again next week and get another read more

Worst Italian food I've ever attempted to choke down. No noodles bigger than a half inch square in the lasagne, which is just goopy slop. The spaghetti with sausage is noodles in gag-me-acidic tomato sauce with three sausage turds on the side. Utterly awful. Just don't eat here!!! Be warned, Don't!!! read more

Great food. Excellent service my wife and I stopped in for a peaceful lunch very surprised it was just perfect. read more

We just finished having dinner and were excited to give it a try. Upon arrival I noticed that the ambiance was really meek. We got sat at a booth that had large rips in the seat, no big deal but not flattering. The waiter wasn't communicative whatsoever and he had no recollection of what we ordered and he asked who had what when he came to the table with only 4 people. Service I'd say was just blah. The salad was super cold and flavorless and the ranch wasn't homemade. The dinner was ok.. nothing special. Overall- 2/5. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The server was nice but that's it. The Chicken Alfredo wasn't edible . The chicken tasted like 3-4 days old dried out chicken and the sauce was clumpy and tasted old and un-seasoned. My sister got a different white wine pasta dish that was almost as bad. The best part of our meal was the bread and butter. Wasted $$$ read more

We decided to try the new Bella Sera Italian Restaurant in New Braunfels (Previously TJ's Burgers). This is the chain's fifth location. Not fancy; big, open, unadorned and fairly loud dining room. The Owner/Manager gave us a very warm greeting and thank you upon leaving. The young man serving us was very attentive, courteous and got everything we ordered correct. The complimentary garlic knots were good, but dipping oil costs a couple bucks extra which I found strange. (Like charging for chips and salsa). The chicken soup that accompanied the meal was hot and tasty. The Chicken Siciliana was pretty good, but the lemony sauce left me with a bit of a sour aftertaste. The dish is served top angel hair pasta which rendered it very wet vs. Al Dente. The Chicken Parmesan was pretty thin (more like Scallopini) and seemed almost like a pre-breaded frozen product. Really nothing special. Hopefully, they'll improve after the break-in period. read more

Would leave ZERO stars if we could- we came for our anniversary dinner as it is a weeknight and we have two kids under 2 years old it's very hard to get out. We waited 10 minutes, had AT LEAST 6 staff walk by us, just looking, tending to people at the bar, no greeting, nothing. THEN another family walk in and are IMMEDIATELY greeted and asked how many to be seated. We were shocked!! even the family said, um no they were here first! When I quickly said, yes! We have been waiting! We need a table for 4 please ! The lady walks off WHILE I am talking! We quickly turned around and said we will just take our business elsewhere. We were prepared to drop over $100 plus, easily ! But we will NEVER go back to this establishment. Gave us a very racist vibe. As a former waitress, I would never conduct business like this. Never trying the food as we will never go here. read more

I was a little hesitate at first as I haven't been blown away with Boerne restaurants. However, I was pleasantly surprise with Bella Sera. We went for a late lunch and unfortunately I'm doing Keto so trying to be careful with carbs. I had a bite of the complimentary bread and it was delicious. Ordered a side of marinara with it and it was even better! The calamari was yummy also served with their marinara- Lunch specials are reasonable and comes with salad for $8.99 I had the eggplant parm and it was VERY cheesy. Probably a little too much cheese for me but the flavors were delicious. My friend had the linguini with mushroom and the pasta was cooked perfectly el dente. The flavor of hers was amazing- as I had a small bite. I watched her eat the rest while shedding some tears as I wanted more. Definitely will be back on a cheat day! read more

Amazing pizza and flavorful dishes! We came in for dinner on a Tuesday evening. It got pretty busy around 7:45 which didn't affect the level of service but the food times were a bit extended. I had the Chicken Vernona which was full of flavor and a large serving, but the chicken was a bit over cooked. My son had the ravioli...the sauce was delicious and slightly sweet. They serve delicious homemade bread with butter prior to the meal. The salads that were served with our meals were VERY small...but I saw others that looked larger...there seems to be a bit of inconsistency there. We also ordered the 12" Bella Sera pizza...it was amazing! Thin homemade hand tossed crust that holds up to the ample toppings without becoming soggy. The edges were crisp with a bit of chew thars just perfect! read more

Exceptionally BAD service. Every item was delivered at once -- appetizers, bruschetta, salad, soup, entree. The food was terrible. My veal was rubbery and tasteless, and was served in a puddle of greasy, watery sauce. The wine was overpriced by about $20 for our cheap vintage selection. Do not go to this restaurant. read more

The food was fine but while we are still eating, an elderly woman, not our waitress, with a bussing cart came over and cleared our table. I had just seen her do it to a nearby table also. She took everything including the forks. It was like she wanted to close up the place before it was even dark. I was going to order dessert but with everything gone, we just paid and left. read more

Delicious food, excellent service and perfect portions. Nice upscale casual atmosphere but still cozy . They were able to accommodate our party on short notice as well. read more

Food was delicious! Better Italian menu than most Italian - American establishments. The staff is friendly with customers and each other. Very warm and welcoming place. Felt comfortable taking my 1 year old. Very clean and relaxed Would recommend and would go again read more

Dined here for the first time on a Sunday for my birthday, based on reviews. Bit of a disappointment; portions adequate, salads average, Calamari appetizer pretty good, Chicken marsala skimpy on the chicken, & have had much better Clams & red elsewhere. For the price, could have gone to Olive Garden for just as good a meal & about $20.00 cheaper. Live & learn. Won't be back. read more

We discovered this place when visiting Comfort and ate there every night. Great food, super nice staff at a reasonable price. We will be back! read more

Wow! What a sorry excuse for an Italian restaurant. This is frozen Sam'sClub tortellini and pre-cooked Tyson grilled chicken strips they are serving here. The Olive Garden is gourmet compared to this place. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME FOLKS read more

Hey. Unassuming low key and personal service. This isn't Olive Garden. I enjoyed the garlic bread. Homemade and very nice. I had the chicken cacciatore and it was good. Not great but good. The chicken was tough and tasted precooked and added at the end. My guest had shrimp scampi and it was very good also. The salads were fresh and I was full when I left which is a plus considering I'm use to western style portions. The prices are typical of Italian and I did enjoy myself. It's a nice diversion from the norm. read more
