Sarah R.

Great food & service! Kirsten did an amazing job and took good care of my mother & I as we enjoyed our lunch. We definitely will be back again

Almost burnt.
William L.

As stated and pictured, pizza is oftentimes bordering on inedible. This isn't the first time the pizza has been this way, but it is the last time we were going to be accepting the excuses. Pizza with a crisp crust is fine, but tasting the burnt taste is not. Having a rude employee and dismissing the quality as not knowing how pizza should be made is also not ok. I grew up in NY and my wife grew up in NJ, we are both extremely familiar with Pizza parlors and the different types of Pizza. When Bella Sera makes the pizza correctly, it is great, no doubt. Unfortunately, their consistency is lacking, as is their service.

Plain cheese is the way to go! For true East Coast experience.
Rich D.

This is the closest thing I can find to actual New York/New Jersey Pizza in Texas. I haven't covered the whole state yet of course, but as far as KERRVILLE goes, this is the one to get. First bite of the cheese pizza took me right back to the boardwalk in Wildwood. It's that good. I never load up my pizza with a bunch of veggies, so it's plain cheese for me, and this one turned out to be the best I've ever had in this area. Prices are reasonable and service is always outstanding. Oh... Don't forget to ask them to make the bottom a little crispy. Perfect.

Calzone
Jose D.

I've been to many Bella Sera's in the Hill Country ( I believe I've only missed the one in Fredericksburg, TX), but none top this location. The ambiance is excellent and the service also! Our party had the meat lasagna, the eggplant parmigiana and a Calzone. Chicken soup and Caesar salad were great. The garlic bread is to die for (if you are a bread lover). We had to request "fill 'er up again" on the bread basket. Your food is hot to the very last bite. All the food was well cooked and flavorful. Great tomato sauce on the hot plates and accompanying the calzone. If you like the mix of marinara sauce and white sauce (aka pink sauce), then you need to try their Alla Panna sauce. If you are in or near Kerrville, TX, or just passing through traveling on I-10, don't pass up the opportunity to dine at this great Italian Restaurant.

Veal Siciliana
Jordana G.

Delicious food and great service. This spot has the goods if you are looking for classic Italian American food. Really well done NY style pizza. We ordered plain cheese - the ultimate test of a good pizza with no toppings to hide behind. Great crust, good cheese, excellent sauce. Beware the garlic knots. They are addictive garlicy heaven designed to entrap your soul so you spend the rest of your life in this restaurant happily eating them forever. Good wine list (get with the program and order Chianti), really good citrusy house salad dressing (get Nick's dressing - olive oil, lemon and garlic). Skip the chicken soup - surprisingly bland although obviously housemade. The veal Siciliana is what veal piccata dreams it might grow up to be. Take a lemony veal piccata and add artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Plop it on a bed of angel hair pasta. Hedonistically eat and enjoy. The shrimp Fra Diavolo has beautifully cooked shrimp in a spicy yet nuanced sauce. FYI garlic lovers required. Great service from Sam. Very professional and also very charming. Servings are generous. Prepare for leftovers, highly recommended.

Service was great and the food arrived quickly and was very tasty. The ambiance is quite nice if you enjoy quiet dinners. The space is quaint and cute as they have converted it into a functional restaurant space. If you are in town and want a good sit down meal, check this place out. We started off with sourdough bread and olive oil. My wife ordered the Creamy Penne Chicken and she loved the flavors. Very cheesy and the chicken was seasoned well. Pasta cooked to perfection in our opinion. I had the salmon and shrimp dish with veggies and rice. The salmon was delicious and not overcooked and dry, but very flaky. I wish there were more shrimp with the dish because they were also tasty and well seasoned and cooked. My favorite dessert was the chocolate turtle brownie cake, but I also tried the pina colada cake which I was told has won some awards. I'm not a big pina colada fan but managed to eat half the cake.

We were just passing through when my wife had a sudden craving for good italian food…read more Yelp had good reviews about this place so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. Freshly made pasta was so good. We shared an order of linguine alfredo with chicken and we had more than we could handle. The serving size is so generous. Then we looked at their desserts and everything was baked fresh from their bakery next door. We chose the chocolate cake with a cream filling (I forget the name) and had to get it 'to go' because we were already so full. We had it for our dessert that evening and it was very good. Special mention to our server Zach. Great job helping us decide on what to order. Also great conversation about travel experiences to the Philippines where we were originally from. What are the chances of us meeting in this part of Texas? We highly recommend this business and will definitely come back next time we are in the area. Thank you, Yelp and reviews that led us here.

Therefore, when guests walk inside, they will notice how quaint the establishment is as well as the gated pool that is adjacent to the restaurant. Without further ado, here we go... Tuna Tostadas This starter was a mix of ahi sushi-grade tuna with onions, spices, fresh avocado, and wasabi aioli for a flavor profile that is light yet punchy. Aside from the ahi being at the height of freshness on this dish, the avocado added the perfect amount of creaminess to these tostadas. French Onion Soup Yikes, while I enjoy a good French onion soup, my soup was salty, and the cheese was "off." This is unfortunate as this is such a simple soup to make. I sent this menu item back. Perhaps for ya'll who go to the restaurant after me and give it a try, you can DM me and let me know what ya'll think. Sound like a plan? Seafood Pasta This Creole Shrimp Pasta is accompanied by a creamy sauce and is further layered with aromatic onions, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and a splash of lime juice. The sauce is spicy, creamy, and garlicky, with a pop of freshness. It's a hypnotic blend that will have you savoring each rewardingly complex bite. The pop of cherry tomatoes in the dish gives it a subtle hit of acid to balance out the heavy cream from the sauce. This entree is made with simple fresh ingredients and is ideal for those who enjoy a seafood (shrimp and clams) dish that pays homage to our French next-door neighbors. For those who did not pass their U.S. history class, when I noted next-door neighbors, I mean Louisiana! Salmon This manner in which this silky salmon was prepared with a crunchy coating of fragrant seeds rendered the skin on this fish shatteringly crisp. The bed of sun-dried tomato orzo was creamy but a bit bland. While the tomato added a pop of color to the orzo, the tang was missing. However, the star of this dish did shine. Overall, the service provided by our waiter, Tyler, coupled with the lake views and quaint atmosphere, made this an enjoyable experience and one I would repeat. #supportlocal

He was so friendly and easygoing, but we knew he was putting in work! Tables inside and out and our food still came out quickly, and my water was always full! We started off with the gluten free Hong Kong lettuce wraps, and I almost smacked everyone's hands as they grabbed for another one! The antelope was so tender, not dry, and the sauce wonderfully balanced the side of slaw and savory ground antelope. Delicious! Hubby got the Green Goat Sliders, kiddo got the kid's pulled pork sandwich, and I got the gluten free Crispy Chicken Sammie on a GF bun. Everything was delicious! They undoubtedly know how to cook their meat perfectly! Sliders were very good, and my son devoured that pulled pork sandwich in minutes. The kid's sandwich was the same size as mine! The sliders looked great - just cooked so well, and the chimichurri was delicious (per my husband). While I was given the wrong sandwich, I did not care one single bit! A truly honest mistake, but if I even thought of complaining I'd hope someone would kick me right out, because everything about this meal was great! The right sandwich was so good. I love the slaw and Ruben dressing with the slightly crispy GF fried chicken patty. I like that the fried chicken wasn't heavily breaded - it kept it lighter and just enough of a crisp! I got the Greek salad as my side and WOW. I could eat that salad any day. I don't even like olives, but that salad needed them, and all of it was delicious. I loved the hummus on the bottom which was a great texture and added more substance to the salad. I could eat that salad all day every day. I don't know what feta they used, but it was soft and delightfully salty. So good. I can only imagine how good it is on their Brussel Sprouts which are also gluten free! I did snag one of my kiddo's fries which are also gluten free, and I love it when fries and crispy and brown and not overly seasoned, which these were. Tender inside and crispy outside, nice and browned and almost shoestring. Very, very good! With the great service, the lovely outdoor seating, and such delicious food, I would not hesitate driving back here to come eat again! I only wish the restaurant was a smidge bigger so more people at once could enjoy this fantastic establishment!
