I'm from a big city, where we have tons of brag-worthy food options... but I'm honestly a tough critic when it comes to good Italian food. What a pleasant surprise to find this gem in a quaint little town! The service was okay - a little slow, but in their defense we were a big group (wedding rehearsal dinner). The salad was plain, nothing special, but at least we saved some room for the meal... The hard part is resisting the complimentary garlic knots! Hot out of the oven, fresh, and full of wonderful garlic-herb flavor! Couldn't stop eating them, haha... The house wine wasn't bad, especially for $5.50 a glass. The emphasis I'll make are the entrees, which were overall pretty outstanding. They have a huge menu & great variety. They offer everything from pizza to classic spaghetti & meatballs to rib eye, and other specialty pasta dishes. I ordered the Frutti de Mare (seafood linguini in clam sauce) and inhaled it! I sampled some of my friends' dishes, and they were delicious too. The dessert choices were pretty basic (tiramisu or cheesecake), but it was a nice finish to a hearty dinner. If I ever make it back out to Marble Falls, I'll be certain to stop in again for a yummy meal. read more

Italian in Marble Falls? You betcha. This is a italian restaurant on 281 in Marble Falls. It is a fairly large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating set up to abide by our social distancing rules. We tried the lasagna and the baked ziti - both were very good. They have a good assortment of wine and beer available as well. Good service too. If you are looking for italian food, give this place a try. read more

We came here as a large group for a late lunch. The store looks small but they have a huge hall at the back that can seat a ton of people so it's great for groups. I'm not going to go launch into a long review here other than to say it was a good experience dining here. Service was not the strongest point as it was slow but the server was polite and did a decent job. The food looked great and tasted great. It's a great spot and they do a mean meal. read more

Pizza and Italian food that taste like you're in little Italy NY that's as easy as a phone call away.

If you're on the go and need a quick pickup or a pizza for a party then call these guys for an easy and quick experience. 5 stars to this life changing Italian food joint. This Italian spot is a Hole in the wall with shocking food and service. -restaurant is nice inside, it has style points for sure! read more

Bella Sera - Pizza - Italian Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

Love the place. Their pizzas are almost* as good as the ones I used to get back in NJ/NY. And this is meant with no disrespect. They are good! It's the closest I have had around to NJ/NY pizza. The stromboli is my go-to. It is just like they did back home. Very good. They treat me well and I love their food. read more

We have been driving from Lago Vista to Marble Falls to go to this restaurant for quite a few years and this is the first time it has been anything less than a very good experience. The soup, salad, lasagna and veal siciliani were all very good, although there were only 3 small pieces of veal in the veal dish. A bit disappointing. We also ordered calamari. The first order that was brought out was so overcooked that the squid was like pieces of rubber. I wear dentures and it was impossible to chew. We sent it back and the second order was only marginally better. We all love calamari and have eaten it many times. This just wasn't good at all. We arrived mid-afternoon and the restaurant was very quiet, but our service was only poor to fair. All in all, today's experience was disappointing. read more

service was good but the calamari smelt like fried bo*ty hole and was mad rubbery and couldn't even chew it the chicken has a artificial texture my stomach is doing gymnastics at the moment read more

The pizza is THE BEST Pizza I have ever had! And they are HUGE for the price! One small pepperoni pizza will EASILY feed me for two meals. But I don't know what they do to it but the pizza is just fantastic. The crust to the sauce I'm guessing is homemade and just.... Different but extremely good. I am on a doctor ordered special diet now so I don't get there often to have pizza anymore but when I crave pizza this is the first place that pops into my mind.. so so good! read more

Stumbled upon this while traveling. Very nice curb appeal and plenty of parking nice outdoor covered eating area. We had the lunch specials. Can't beat their meatballs and meat sauce with spaghetti. Salads were very fresh and the rolls were good but a little cold. It was just right portions for lunch. 8.99 is a great deal. Very nice decor with all Italian music playing to set the mood. We were able to bring our dog to the patio area which is a plus when traveling. read more

I keep coming and every time it's great. 4.5-5 Stars every single time. My dad thinks it's some of the best Lasagna he's ever. It's certainly the best pizza in town! read more

The food here is always delicious! Morgan was our waitress and she was amazing! Very attentive and super nice. Busy for a Wednesday but non the less was great atmosphere. Only thing I would want different is more meatballs in the kids spaghetti read more

I'm not quite sure how they manage to make a mostly lettuce salad taste so good! We love this place, and go all the time usually at lunch, I fell hard to the linguini with mushrooms, it's a simple dish, but packed with garlic, olive oil and big mushrooms. I also love the eggplant parmesan... so good! My husband eats the meat Stromboli, it's huge crispy breading filled with various meats and cheese. I'd love to try it, but honestly, it's a bit too much food for me with the salad and bread. Oh! that bread, you gotta be careful because it's coming out hot garlicy, and plentiful, really easy to fill up on. The Pizza is pretty great too, more of a traditional Italian Pizza, thin crusted very flavorful. not to be compared to dominos. read more

We've been fans of Bella Sera for years, but won't return again after our very expensive visit last visit. I take some responsibility for the sticker shock because we ordered the same things without reviewing the menu prices, but when it costs $90 for two adults and two kids to eat a pasta dinner it makes me rethink my dining choices. I for the life of me cannot understand how Italian places get away with charging what they do for noddles and sauce, but I can go to another local Italian restaurant and get the same thing for far less and just as good. read more

The bread was so good do recommend! The steak taste like gravy.The ranch was exceptional. My daughters pasta got forgotten because the waiter forgot her spaghetti. We had to re order it. It was over all a 6/10. The spaghetti wasn't even good it taste like rotten sweet peas. read more

Bella Sera - Ew. - Italian Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

Omg no don't eat here. We walked in and no one talked to us for ten minutes, the family in front of us waited too but left after they were standing there for 15 minutes. We should have left when they did. For a starter we got fried ravioli and it was not that. They drowned it in some type of vodka curry sauce so everything was soggy. We got ranch salads and the dressing was really watery and not good by the end. My sister got the kid's spaghetti and meatballs and it was fine. I got baked tortellini. Seriously contemplated leaving after tasting it. Sauce was super watery and bland. Imagine Walmart off brand pasta sauce. I asked for cheese pizza instead and it was fine. Keep in mind the restaurant wasn't that busy and there were like five servers there but we never got refills even when we asked and we only saw them when they brought us our food. Wish we had left before we were sat. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my tortellini, Michelangelo. The Veal Marsala was good but we thought the sauce was too watery and the Marsala taste was weak. Veal was tender. Other than that it was very good. Staff were polite and expedient. read more

This spot was close by to our hotel and was amazing! Everything we tried was fantastic! Inside was a cute inviting space! We will be back on out next stay! read more

My favorite restaurant in Marble Falls! Fresh ingredients, family owned and such good service. You can taste the quality of ingredients in the food, I've never had a bad meal here. Perfect place for family gatherings with a great dining space. Love this local gem! read more

Bella Sera - Cesar salad with chicken and fresh baked rolls. Yum!! - Italian Near Me - Marble Falls, Texas

This is still mine and my family's favorite Italian restaurant! Can be busy and sometimes take a bit to get your food, but it's always worth the wait! The staff and owners are always so friendly too! We go here every chance we get! read more

The only reason for this less than average rating is because of our Server and his Customer Service. My Mother and I had ordered our dinners and during the initial order I had mentioned wanting to add some alfredo to my sauce - he thought I wanted to substitute Alfredo for the Red sauce and I explained I did not, but just wanted to add a drizzle on top. He then said he would provide a "side" of alfredo sauce. When the bill came, I was charged $4.99 for the side of Alfredo Sauce - when I asked, he showed me in the menu where a side of Alfredo is $4.99 (but also under the item I ordered, there was a note to subsitute the Alfredo for $2.00. He was rude and said it was not a substitution, but a side - I said he should have let me know that when he decided to order me a side and ask, is that what you want? Regardless, the bill was not changed and he was rude and it really made a nice meal a bad experience. It's all about the Delivery of the message and understanding the customer. read more

We ate at Bella Sera last Sunday. There were 4 of us, each ordering something different and each of us said our meal was disappointing. My Stromboli had a very thick bread crust around it and the inside was quite dry. I expected more cheese and sauce. My friend said her Eggplant Parmigiana was greasy. The fettuccini Alfredo was described as bland. The Caesar salad got the highest rating, ok but not special. I've eaten at Bella Sera several times and everything seemed different this time, just not up to par read more

Very good food and warm ambient! I will definitely go back. Try Bella sera chicken it's refreshing and very tasty. The owner is the best cook I ever seen. read more

I called to ask if they had anything gluten-free. They said they had gluten-free pasta, but nothing else. I asked if any of the sauces or salads were gluten-free, and they said no. They were polite on the call, so the 2-star rating is for not having anything GF to offer except dry pasta. read more

Bella Sera's primary location is closed for remodeling. They moved a couple of block away in Francesca's old location. They have re-done it and it looks nice. It is much larger than it appears on the outside. I ate there last night. Their rolls are fabulous. If you ask they will bring you the olive oil & herb mix for dipping. I had their veal and shrimp over spaghetti in lemon and caper sauce - delicious. This is my preferred Italian restaurant in Marble Falls. They also have wine. read more

If you're looking for amazing Italian meals and casual dining in Marble Falls, this place is an amazing spot! I cant tell you how pleasant our dining experience was. From the home made salad sauces to the rich and delicious amaretto cheesecake, everything was super! We both had lunch specials - which are everyday (a very nice feature). GF had the Manicotti and I had the bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce. (Only tick against them was i wish I would have asked if it was indeed a full size spaghetti because it was actually thin spaghetti) the taste of both was very good! We had salads and the bread was so warm and very good texture. (I like mine kind of doughy) For dessert we couldn't pass up a slice of the cheesecake, which was also silk smooth and delicious! I will definitely come back again when I'm in town. read more

Average food. Average American Italian. 3 stars ** update the first few times we are in, pre-COVID, and the servers were nice enough. However, there is a man that answers the phone for orders and is very impatient and rude. 2 stars. read more

I really dislike some of the interactions I've had with the establishment. I've been incorrectly charged for items and I feel like they are always trying to get one over on you. They have argued with my wife multiple times. At one point they gave my order to another customer while my wife was waiting in the lobby after speaking with the person. This was the older gentlemen that has obviously some kind of stake in the company. He proceeded to try to make it my wife's fault and then it took a long time for them to remake our food. read more

From the time I walked i until I left I was greeted and treated by a friendly staff. I ordered off the dinner menu and asked for a substitution. My request was received very positively and was quickly granted. The salad that came with the meal was good, but on the small side. The bread that was served was warm and very good. There was no dipping sauce offered with the bread. The fettuccini alfredo was plentiful and the sauce was hot and very good. However, the veal lacked flavor and was not as crisp as I would have liked. The meal was served hot and was freshly prepared. I found the meal to be on the expensive side and felt that it was overpriced. However, the friendly atmosphere, attention by the staff and the freshly prepared entree impressed me. I will go back, but will try a different selection. read more

My mom, sister and I are from out of town and looked on Yelp to find something Italian. This place popped up and I was very glad we decided to come here. The entrance was a little confusing on its location. Would say that that was just about the places only downfall. Got sat right away and drink orders quickly. They gave a big selection of wine. Did not get any though. Ordered the shrimp alfredo. There entrees come with rolls and salad. Got my salad with caesar dressing. There caesar dressing is really good. I am very picky smokie my caesar dressings and was delighted with there's. The tools have some but and seasoning on them. I recommened adding there parmesan cheese to the top or inside of the roll. The shrimp alfredo had lots of flavor. They take the time to cook properly and devein the shrimp. Only came with 5 shrimp and didnt think that was enough at first but when you cut up the shrimp, it was almost enough. One or two more pieces would have been better. Overall though, I would recommened this place. read more

We have been coming to the lake for over 10 years and have always loved this spot. We ordered to go. Hostess repeated the order and was correct however when my husband got home they forgot part of our order and the restaurant was a 20 minute drive from horseshoe bay. The carbonara was gross. It was similar to a bland Alfredo sauce and not at all carbonara. The rest of the pasta dishes were plain and the mozzarella sticks were undercooked. We put them in the oven to finish. So disappointed in this restaurant and we will not be back again. For all restaurants- PLEASE check your to go orders. It's a simple task and we also tip for that reason. read more

Went way out of my way to eat at Bella Sera! My wife got flat bread while I got the chicken Calabrense and was lip smacking good! My wife saw what I had, put her flat bread aside and started eating off my plate. We ended up ordering one to go so she'd have something to snack on going home. read more

The food , service and staff are superior. The bread and everything else is made from scratch and is superb . This is the best Italian restaurant I have had the pleasure of dining in in 15 years . Do not waste your time going anywhere else if you want a delicious meal . read more

Had such a horrible service experience this time. Wife ordered a dish that she has gotten countless times and all of the olives had pits in them. I ordered extra meatballs (with cheese ravioli I like to have some meat.) We told our server once and someone else a second time, and I never got them. They certainly charged me for them though. When it was time to pay, I got the charge slip back but no credit card. We had to wait 10 minutes longer to get the server's attention to get my card back. I understand being busy, but walking away as you are still talking is pretty poor. read more

Excellent service, quality food, broad selection, *amazing bread, and large portions!

The price we were charged was completely different than on the menu. My husbands pizza was $15.99 on the menu and my mushroom pasta was $9.99. When the bill came, it's just a hand written one,they charged us $17. 99 for each meal, I asked the waiter about the price of our meals but he would not discuss why the up charges? Very disappointed read more

This a "must eat" place for us every time we're in the Marble Falls area. The food is absolutely delicious, some of the best Italian food we've eaten. The staff is always friendly, courteous and helpful. Don't be fooled by the size of the restaurant front, because it's got plenty of room inside. Great ambiance. Don't miss out on this small town treasure. read more

Pretty good for small town Italian. Great place to take the family. Can't wait to see what the do with the renovations.

Typical Italian food. The antipasto salad was good. I wish it had more lettuce. Mom has lasagna and she really enjoyed it. Sister had Alfredo spinach pizza and she loved it. The rolls were great! Service was good. read more
