I am not going to totally belittle Bella's but I do want to warn anyone who intends on visiting this ""ITALIAN"" establishment. Now this is not to say that the service can't get better but it wasn't as up to part as I had been told. 1st my friend made reservations for my birthday for 8:45 and we didn't get to our table until 9:15. That started the night off bad but I shrugged it off as the place being busy which it was. My group was seated and we had to wait 20 minutes before the waiter came to our table to even give us a glass of water. We had to ask the waiter what the specials of the day were. We ordered appetizers, our meal and drinks. I ordered sausage and peppers as well as the much talked about Lobster Ravioli. The sausage and peppers were good however for $26.00 a plate I think the ravioli should have been more appealling as well as more on the plate. The taste was bland. My party had to constantly ask the waiter for refills on sodas and water. The waiter constantly hounded us about dessert when we weren't even finish with dinner. No one ordered desset instead we went to a coffee house in Uptown Minneapolis for dessert and hot chocolate and of course we talked about the unprofessional service we received at Bellanottes. The part however that really made this visit really unprofessional was how we were able to see the waiter and speak with him more in 15 minutes once he brought us the check and needed the bill to be paid than we had seen him the enitre night. Not only was this unprofessional but when we reported his ""lack of customer service"" to his manager she reacted as if it was okay and also blamed it on the busyness. Needless to say we did leave a tip because the waiter did provide some type of service regardless to how unprofessional it was. Overall Bellanottes is not worth the hype and I hope the next patron has better service than my party received!
Pros: Sausage and Peppers
Cons: Service, Food, Loud Music, Crowd
