Bella Notte Ristorante

"Wow" what else can I say. This place seems to get it, great food, great service and a great wine selection. We loved it, our server was friendly and very accomidating as was the chef allowing us to modify one of the meals "thanks chef", the food was very tasty and had rich athentic flavours. The place was very busy but it didn't affect our service. Everyone in the group can't wait to go back. Keep it up guys, your our new favorite place to dine this side of the city.

This food made us sick. Sorry but just found this site. Had dinner there with a large group of 30 people about a yerar ago. Booked in advance. 10 people got really sick after eating the salmon, soup of the day was mediocre at best. Rest of the meal was okay but nothing special.

We had a new year's eve dinner here a couple of years back (sorry for the delay). We were surprised the place wasn't packed and started to worry. However, our food was very good, as was the service. We'd go back (and this time I'll write a review sooner!)

Always an excellent dining experience. Mike makes you feel as one of the family(checkout the pictures that adorn the walls). Chef Enzo and his team always prepare an excellent dinner. This is our first choice when dining out in Whitby.

Bella Notte accommodated us at the last minute so we were really pleased. We were celebrating a job promotion within our group. The decor is sort of rustic Italian. Very appealing. Quaint and romantic. We ate a variety of dishes, starting from appetizers, pasta's and meat courses. Some in our group are Italians and they said the food was very authentic. It was delicious to say the least. Service was exceptional. Would definitely return for more of the same!

This was a great diing experience and I highly recommend it, as does the rest of our party! Service as great and the food was melt in your mouth good! Can't wait to go back. Staff was was attentive to us and made us feel very welcome. Everyone was really friendly and accommodating. We were supposed to dine eleswhere, but they fowled up our reservation and Bella Notte was quick to take care of us. I'm really glad that the mistake was made because otherwise I might not tried this place, and in my opinion Bella Notte was a much better dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys good food!

My wife and I celebrated her bday at Bella Notte. The service was really good and friendly. Staff was attentive. We were served in a timely fashion. We sat at a cozy table for two and enjoyed the Italian atmosphere. We aren't big drinkers but we enjoyed wine with dinner and it complimented our meals nicely. Food portions were huge! We took some home! Friends had recommened this restaurant to us. They are frequent partrons and had mentioned that the only thing they didn't enjoy was this one particular waiter who seemed quite arrogant to them. They were since told that the offending waiter was released and they've had no negative experiences since. We will definately go back as the food was really good. Prices were reasonable for what you got. We really enjoyed the open kitchen concept. We were able to see the chef's at work. If you want a downtown experience right at your doorstep, Bella Notte is the place to go!

We've had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant on several occassions. Each time the food did not disappoint. My personal favorite is the veal! It was so tender and delicious! The portions are very generous. We've also been in their party room for people who want to host private affairs, such as birthdays and confirmations etc. The service was friendly and attentive and we now count this as one of our favortie places to go!

This was one of the best dinnig experiences I've had in Durham. Warm feeling as you are invited in, staff very friendly & helpful. Food was amazing from our appetizers to mains to dessert, huge portions(had enough for lunch the next day). The flavours of the food definitely have a European influence. Bella Notte compares to some the top restaurants in the city. Our entire group was more than satisfied & can't wait to go back. Keep up the great work!

Quite nice atmosphere but very poor (slow) service. Appetizer was good but entree was VERY bland. Ate 3 or 4 bites of it and pushed plate off to the side. Server asked if I wanted it wrapped up. Told her it was a very poor dish. Still charged for it.! Very disappointed in this restaurant. Have been to all decent local restaurants and this is by far the lowest ranking.
