    The food here is super good and it will make you want to come back a lot. I hope you come!!!

    This is there egg 81. Eggplant Parmigiana

    So we went to Viva La Pasta yesterday April 21 2026 and both my wife and I ordered Eggplant Parmesan. As you can tell it looks like Chicken finger's. This dish was tasteless, dry and not what we expected. We've had this dish on other occasions and it was completely different. I'm not sure exactly what happened but before you order ask questions or just don't order it. Our waitress was good the salad was great and the bread was good.

    Champagne salmon

    Food is always delicious and service is wonderful. Celebrated a birthday party here. I had the champagne salmon. It is always wonderful. Not always on the menu so feel lucky on days that you can get it.

    I ordered this place first on DoorDash. After being presently surprised with the high-quality Alfredo I went there with my friend. It was a very traditional, simple mom and pop Italian set up. Most of the clientele are 80+ that live in the affluent Simi Valley country club district. My friend did not care for his chicken Parmesan, but I came back later on my own because the Alfredo is that good. The service is always nice and I even ironically had the chance to meet the two owners which are a lovely couple who asked how everything was. Overall, you can get out of there for $30 with an alcoholic beverage and an entrée. The bread that they give you is delicious and there's not too much more to say except the best Alfredo I've had in a long time. The cow chowder soup was good. My favorite so far has been the ravioli in Alfredo. The stuffed shells were good but they are with chicken instead of beef so taste a little different to me.

    Minestrone soup - too watery for my preference.

After being seated, we were never asked what we wanted to drink, and we waited about 30 minutes for bread after being told it would only take around 10 minutes. The only consistent part of the service was that our water glasses were kept filled, which we did appreciate. There were only around five tables seated at the time, and despite that, our party of eight waited over 40 minutes for our meals. We understand larger parties can take longer, so that itself wasn't the biggest issue. However, both of the kids' pasta dishes also came out with the wrong type of noodles, which added to the frustration. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering an automatic gratuity of over $70 was included for our table. We expected a much higher level of service based on that. Hopefully this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.

You'll hear many patrons describe this restaurant as a hidden gem. Believe them. From our observation, reservations are highly desirable and may prove necessary for weekend nights. The only seatings available when we called a day earlier were at 4:30 or after 7:00 PM. We took the earlier, and frankly are glad we did. We arrived at their unassuming storefront location as the first patrons of the day, were warmly greeted and immediately seated. From this moment forward, my wife and I agreed: If anyone hopes to run a highly successful small restaurant, Bella's Bistro is the template. Inside, the ambiance was tasteful with gentle background music at the absolutely perfect tempo and volume to allow for conversation. We found the furnishings, tableware and restroom immaculate. Fresh flowers and a candle adorned each table, and the decorations for Valentine's Day were just the right tone, conveying appeal without being garish. Kudos to the staff for getting it right on all of the above. Though I generally set expectations low for the wine list or bartending at a small establishment, Bella's features a diverse wine list and specialty cocktails that pair very well with their menu. Of particular note was the superb crafting of cocktails during our visit - again, exceeding our expectations. It was during cocktail service that we noticed the full-service bar tucked in the rear corner of the restaurant, offering barstool seating and counter service for those who may be so inclined. We shared a nicely prepared caesar salad, while enjoying the basket of varied breads. While refrigerated butter pats were provided in the basket, it would have been a tad easier and more appealing if a small container of whipped butter had been offered instead. Our entrees included their homemade ravioli as well as chicken parmigiana, the latter included a large perfectly crafted portion of chicken accompanied by perfectly prepared spaghetti. To say this restaurant knows how to make and served great pasta is in understatement, with the ravioli a choice to be savored. A simple cheesecake dessert topped off the evening. Though the restaurant was full as our meal ended, we never felt rushed or ignored. Service was at all times attentive but never overbearing. There was genuine interest in our enjoyment and satisfaction. We encourage you to try Bella's Bistro!

My wife and I visited on a Sunday evening, and the service was excellent. We also enjoyed some really good cocktails before dinner. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing.

Although the ambiance is a basic order at the cashier and pick-up, the pizza here is anything but ordinary. Whether it is New York, Detroit, Sicilian, or grandma style dough, it is expertly fermented, resulting in a crust that strikes that perfect balance between crisp and tender. It has just the right amount of chew, and a subtle depth of flavor that speaks to pure craft and technique. The crust is the foundation, and it just gets better and builds from here. The sauce! I can drink it up as it has all the right notes of sweet, tangy and flavor. The toppings feel intentionally selected for both quality and compatibility. Nothing is excessive, nothing is lacking; every component is beautifully balanced. Whether it's the brightness of fresh herbs, the richness of meats, qualty cheese, or the perfectly seasoned sauce, everything works in unison. We ordered the Hot Honey, Wiseguy, and Rosa. Each bite is indulgent and satisfying. You can taste the influence of a skilled chef in every detail, from the texture and flavor development of the crust to the thoughtful building of toppings and finishing touches. This is the kind of pizza that redefines expectations. It goes beyond comfort food and enters the level of an indulgent culinary experience. We also had an order of the meatballs to start; it was moist, flavorful, and indulgent. The meatballs were drownng in the sauce, which served as a great way to savor the remaining crust. They serve wine and beer which further elevates the experience, and really, there is no excuse to have pizza anywhere else!
