They had a lot of fun entree options, but It was lunch, so we just decided to split a few appetizers. We got the beef nachos and breaded mushrooms. The breaded mushrooms were actually really good, good quality of mushrooms (portobello), big, and homemade breading. The nachos were plentiful, but just okay. The chips were definitely not homemade and the beef was just a bit dry, I've definitely had better, but it was loaded with a nice amount of toppings and the salsa was good. Both were tons of food for us to split and be full to continue our journey home. Our server was attentive and even offered to accommodate my friends' light diet request despite us not going that route.

My wife and I visited Pasta Bella on a Sunday evening around 5:00 PM. When we arrived, the…read morerestaurant was not very busy, but by the time we finished our meal, the dining room had filled up and was extremely busy--a good sign that this is a popular local favorite. One thing that stood out was how well staffed the restaurant was. Even as the dining room became busier, service never slowed down. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job making sure our drinks were filled, checking on our meals, and making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with a house salad, and my wife had the Chicken Florentine (without mushrooms) along with a cup of Pasta Fagioli soup. Overall, the meal was excellent. The house salad was average but a nice size, featuring lettuce, a cucumber slice, a tomato slice, and croutons. The Pasta Fagioli soup had a very good flavor and was prepared a little differently than what we're accustomed to, but we both really enjoyed it. We were also served fresh-baked Italian rolls, which were warm and delicious. The entrée portions were extremely generous. My Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo arrived piping hot, and the Alfredo sauce had a phenomenal flavor. My wife's Chicken Florentine included two chicken breasts that were well-seasoned, tender, and cooked perfectly. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. We had planned to order dessert, but the portion sizes were so large that we simply didn't have room. For two dinners, soup, salad, rolls, and water to drink, our total bill was right around $40, which we felt was an excellent value for the quality and quantity of food we received. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Pasta Bella to anyone looking for great Italian food, generous portions, attentive service, and outstanding value in Mason City.

You can start your meal off with a soup or salad. The salad is pretty simple. I went with the minestrone with gluten free noodles. It was delicious and I ate it all to the last drop. They also serve garlic bread with your meal. This is not gluten free so I did not try it, but everyone else had it and raved over it. I ordered the Chicken Florentine with gluten free noodles. They serve a lot of food and I was able to take it home and have a second meal out of it. It was even excellent the second day. Not only is the food delicious, but the staff was fantastic. They were friendly and efficient. The restaurant was really busy, but our waitress was able to check on us and make sure we were doing okay. The acoustics in the restaurant make it quite loud. Not in an obnoxious way, but this is not quiet dining. It's the perfect place to bring family and friends for a meal together. I'm not sure why I waited so long to try Pasta Bella, but I'm so glad I finally did. Not everything can be made gluten free so definitely talk to your waiter, but there are a lot of options.

And the food...simply the best we've enjoyed in Mason City. Dry-rub wings appetizer (lemon pepper and mesquite) were generously sized and entirely delectable. NY strip with mashed potato, asparagus and mushroom demi was first-rate, top-drawer and perfectly prepared mid-rare. Legacy burger with sumptuous Gouda Mac and cheese was expertly grilled mid-rare and deliciously bacon-forward. And the crème brûlée was, to be honest, one of the best we've ever tasted. We visited on a slow Saturday so enjoyed the very pleasant quiet ambiance. Had such a great experience that we're headed back tomorrow morning for brunch knowing it will deliver another 10/10 dining adventure. Bistro Nineteen is a winner.

Was not impressed with the appetizer menu at all. Only 3 items. Ordered the Filet Migon. No bread, soup or salad served with your meal. You can order that for extra price. The steak came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. I ordered mine rare and it was excellent. Flavor was great. 8 oz was a great size. Then on to dessert. They were out of the item we ordered, but the waitress brought a piece of cheesecake on the house since they were out. The only complaint was really the no bread or soup/salad served with the steak. Over all wonderful time and we will go back again.

The bread they bring you is made fresh by Hyvee everyday, and it may be the best bread ive been served at a restaurant. For sides, i had both a Greek Salad (first ever, and not the last!) and the legendary Greek Spaghetti. (Its not possible to overhype!) i ordered the Ribeye, it is the best ribeye ive eaten. The butter and steak juice are the perfect blend of flavor, and i used the leftover bread that was served to mop it up. (And any leftover spaghetti seasoning!) i also had a good size chunk of both the lamb. (Ive never had any that were flavored so well!) I also had some of the prime rib, and not only was it cooked perfect, it was even better than my steak! Top to bottom this place was even better quality than Hells Kitchen, or any other 5 star restaurant. The two and a half hour drive was worth it. This wont be the last journey we take across the state to dine there!
