Great food and excellent service! The live musician was fantastic, and there's a nice selection of drinks. What more could you ask for? A wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

The service here is amazing. Stevie is a great bartender and makes you feel right at home while also making sure her staff is making everyone else feel taken care of. It is definitely a family-owned vibe - which we love! We ordered the Italian sausage and pepper panino with garlic fries - 10000% amazing. The fries were especially incredible. Very excited to go back and check out the rest of the menu! read more

Real yum italian food with great service! It's hidden gem in Martinez, favorite go-to place in town. Variety of italian food with starters, salad, soup, pasta, sandwiches, cocktails, wine, and dessert option! It's perfect place for couple/family dinner, chill weekend bar with sports (6 huge TVs on every wall), and more. Full bar with amazing bartender in the restaurant with diverse liquor selection as well. The portion is generous and all food served beautifully :) Highly recommend if you are looking for clean and great italian / bar restaurant. read more

Um well. I guess they are trying. Colors of the walls, the decor, the furniture to neon sign. It all just felt a bit to wrong. What I like is that they have a full bar. The cocktails were nicely priced around $11.99 to $12.99. My partner ordered the purplish drink and it was ok, I ordered a hazy IPA and it was about 9 bucks I want to say. At least the glass was nice and cold. The bar is nice and there is plenty of booth seating with chairs on the other side. The menu is pretty small which I like. We went ahead and ordered a couple of appetizers. The calamari rings were extremely rubbery and it tasted like it was frozen out of a bag. We also ordered the garlic fries and those weren't so bad but their blue cheese dressing is cheap Kraft. Over all the service was ok, we waited a minute or two since she was outside or something on a break. We told them not to rush anything! Will I come back, since I'm. Moving out of the area, I don't think I would be back. Nothing popped out at me and that's what's sad. Campy campy campy. read more

We were excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint. It has good Italian food without the crazy high prices and it's a casual atmosphere. We tried the Po'boy and it was excellent and the fries are crispy and delicious. The star of our night was the short rib ravioli's. You can have any sauce with it and the awesome waitress recommended the bolognese. We make ravioli's from scratch so it's not easy to impress us but these were out of this world. The incredible flavors of the bolognese topped it off. We left very happy and will be back soon. I'm sorry about the half eaten pictures, we were hungry and it smelled so good. read more

Wonderful addition to the Nob Hill/Muir Station Shopping center replacing the old Italian place that used to be there. Decor has been nicely updated and the food was pretty good. Had the polpette sliders during their soft opening and hope I will be able to get the chance to try more dishes soon. read more

Outstanding service! Adrian gave fantastic recommendations and absolutely nailed it. Everything was beyond fabulous! I've never had a chicken sandwich with such incredibly fresh, crunchy, and generously portioned chicken--it was out of this world! Every bite was amazing. The salad was crisp and flavorful, and the pasta was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back! Gorgeous mocktail! read more

I really wanted to like this place... The meatballs are too salty and seemed packaged. The fried raviolis were okay. Also, prepackaged? My husband liked them, I only ate two because I wanted to finish a glass of wine. The staff were friendly and the ambience was good. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I had a really good experience here. The toasted ravioli was honestly the star for me, super crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. The fish and chips were also awesome, not too oily, and the right texture, which I really liked. The place feels welcoming, great service, good environment inside, the food comes out hot, and everything tastes fresh. It's one of those spots where you take a bite and think, "Yeah, I'd come back for this." I'd definitely recommend it if you want comfort food that actually hits the spot! read more

My family and I ordered our Sunday dinner from here. We were very excited to try this new local establishment. Unfortunately it was extremely underwhelming. We ordered the Garden salad that was suppose to have cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, black olives, cheese and croutons on it. When we got home we discovered it only had the lettuce, cheese and croutons. For $15, this is extremely disappointing. In addition we ordered the Lasagna, it was lacking flavor and the portion was super scarce. We ordered the Fettuccine, that was lacking flavor as well and very dry, no creamy consistency and again super scarce portion. Lastly we ordered the Minestrone soup, the container was only filled halfway and again lacking flavor. Maybe they were having an off night idk but for $73.00 the flavor should be there, as well as the portions. read more

Im so happy we got this new spot in Martinez! I got the lasagna to try tonight and it was so incredibly delicious! I've been a little under the weather, so I ordered for pick up and had my husband go get it so the way it looks is not the restaurant's fault at all! It is cheesy, hearty and tastes like something straight out of grandmas kitchen, exactly what I needed right now! We can't wait to be back, there are several items on the menu we are interested in and if they're anything like my dinner tonight, I know we won't be disappointed. My husband said the person who took the order on the phone was very nice and same for who charged him at pick up. He also said the inside was super cool and has a nice long bar with TVs and also some tables, perfect for date night. We will be back soon! read more

Fantastic little gem in Martinez! The owner is so thoughtful, and the staff works very hard to ensure a wonderful experience!

They substituted fettuccine for linguine because they ran out for fettuccine. The place is ill ran by the liquor store next door!!!! Our waiter was nice but you can fix what you don't have! read more

Was excited to try this spot but apparently they haven't figured out the hours of operation. After checking Yelp -said they close at 11:59PM & Google- said 10PM, I went in at 9:20PM to order food. I was told they had closed the kitchen. The female employee eating while sitting at the bar said they had submitted the paperwork to Yelp to have the hours changed. News Flash- When dealing with Yelp, you don't submit paperwork, you send an email and they change the hours instantly. It's not nice to lie to your potential customers. read more

I love the feel of this place. I have had lunch served at a table with a friend and I have enjoyed lunch with a glass of wine at the bar. The food has been delicious. I rarely order spaghetti bolognese but I did and it was delicious. Cozy restaurant and friendly bar feeling. read more

A great new addition to Martinez! My husband wanted to try this restaurant as he's heard great things about it. It's in the Nob Hill Shopping Center, so plenty of parking. It's a cozy restaurant only about 10 or so tables and about 12 ish chairs around the bar. Everyone was super friendly and the waiter was very attentive. This is the type of place that remembers your order and starts working on it as soon as you walk in - that take care of you family vibe. My husband loved his Italian salad and my house salad was really good. We both added chicken and it was very flavorful. Menu is small, which is fine by me! Oh, and the bread and butter - yummy! My husband really liked the pesto butter. Definitely will return and highly recommend. read more

Very new spot with a small but tasty menu. Please try the lasagna. Had a fabulous wine from a new vineyard to me. Will be back.

New place (or just new to me)...had the Spaghetti Bolognese added meatballs to the order. Inhaled them!!! SO GOOD!!! The Bruschetta was good too, but the Bolognese stole the show!!! I was supposed to leave some to rake home and share my "leftovers"...there weren't any so I had to order another To Go....I'll be back....and the bar is where to sir. TV's with sports on and great cocktails...my Old Fashioned was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

We decided to have dinner here after reading positive reviews, and I'm happy to say that we were very pleased with the experience. The setting was cheery and fun, but not loud (all but one table was occupied). We enjoyed cocktails, a pre-dinner salad, dinner (lasagna and fettuccine alfredo with shrimp), and wine. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Our waiter, Adrian was very attentive and friendly. We will be back! read more

Just had lunch at Bella's Spot. Jessie did a great job remodeling. The food was great. I had the Sausage sandwich with fries. It was a large sandwich on delicious bread. The fries were hot and crispy. Adrian was our waiter . He was very attentive and took really good care of us. The restaurant was very comfortable and welcoming. I'll definitely go back! read more

Great new addition to the Martinez restaurant scene. The Margaritas were the best. Not overly sweet like most places. The bartender Samantha really knows her cocktails. The meatball appetizers (3 to an order) were hardy and scrumptious. I would order these as my entree the next time I visit. My son ordered the fish and chips. The fish was fresh and perfectly breaded. Loved the fries. We will add this gem as one of our "go to" restaurants in Martinez. read more

Absolutely amazing service. Adrian was a great server and overall phenomenal vibes and good eats.

Bella's is a new Italian restaurant that replaced a different Italian restaurant about a month or so ago and like the last restaurant, the food is not good. I ordered the lasagna which was flavorless and oddly enough colorless. It was extremely dry but looked like pasta and cheese. My friend ordered the pasta Alfredo with shrimp and it looked like soup. The Alfredo sauce was extremely watery and the shrimp were severely overcooked. To make things worse a waiter told us they had no bread. They gave me a whole song and dance about how they didn't have any bread and didn't know what they were gonna do later on in the shift with no bread. I had to send my friend to the grocery store next to the restaurant to buy bread. Oddly enough when another family came in and asked for bread they mysteriously had bread. Although our food made it to the table, the waiter brought out bread for the other family and didn't bring out any for us. We complained about being told they had no bread but the waiter never apologized. The meal didn't even come with salad. We had to order salad separate. The owner was in the restaurant and actually sitting near the bar and didn't address the issue with the bread. Another young lady came over and apologized. Our waitress was really nice and provided very good service however, the waiter who gave us the whole song and dance about the bread was a nitwit. The owner didn't even wanna turn the volume up for the football game. He reluctantly turned it up just a tad and his team turned it up a tad more so we can hear it. Got a really funny feeling about being in that restaurant from the owner. We'll never go back. we left a tip for the waitress. Why should she suffer because she's stuck between a nitwit and a restaurant owner that gives off bad vibes. read more
