Bella Italia West

Been coming here since I was 3 and yes, there is a dress code. There is a lot of respect here and I grew up here. It's not discrimination it's the way it is. Super respectful and Classy! Best food and atmosphere I have ever loved and admired. The flavors are beyond words. He is a very Private restaurant. He doesn't really have a website just very reputable customers. So as a reputable customer. Know his restaurant is highly respected. All you have to do is call for a reservation and dress up. 💯💓

Very authentic northern Italian experience. Our service was great and the food and wine were even better. Our party of four tried the ostrich 3-g, veal medallions, boneless ribeye, and the venison with mushrooms. All were perfectly cooked and delicious as were the accompanying salads and mashed potatoes. We will definitely be back!

We have been here many times and usually go for my birthday. It’s the place I always pick. It never disappoints. It’s a small restaurant that doesn’t care about mass producing food to serve high volumes of customers. Everything is extremely fresh and is prepared by the order. Yes, it’s more than all the bad chain restaurants, but you get what you pay for. I’ve had the quail, Buffalo mozzarella, and Italian sausage appetizers. They are all so good it’s hard to choose. I’ve had fish, multiple Buffalo cuts, the filet, ribeye, bone in ribeye, etc. it’s all amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

The most amazing find! Been going there over 10 years. Quiet, classy, original italian restaurant with an amazing array of food. Talk about a food coma. Then later in the evening, the chef comes out a meets and greets and eats dinner. What a concept! I'm jealous! ALWAYS get a reservation. Always wear appropriate attire. This is a classy place!

I’ve been going to Bella for over 25 years. I don’t live in Ft Worth anymore, but we still go to Bella at least once a month. I always get the same thing. The spinach salad is the best salad I’ve ever eaten. I try to duplicate it at home, impossible. I get the buffalo tenderloin, medium rare. It’s small but perfect in every way. The gravy is heaven. Lately I’ve been substituting fettuccine Alfredo for veggies. My husband likes the vegetables. I like the bread. It’s possible that it isn’t homemade, I don’t care. We always have drinks, wine and desserts we get coffee. It’s a restaurant that is perfect for an evening out. It is not fast food, we have closed down the restaurant more than once, and have never felt rushed. It’s an old ft worth gem. The people in surrounding neighborhoods frequent Bella. It’s a great place to take business clients and old friends. You can’t get in if you throw on some cutoff jeans and a t shirt. If you’re in your golf attire your okay. It’s logical because if your dining with business associates you want a certain atmosphere. Lots of people are there celebrating anniversaries, birthdays etc. it has a certain country club feel. Wear your jewelry, your new shoes, dress up. It’s fun. If you like a good stiff drink, this is your place. It’s NOT Olive Garden, doesn’t even pretend to be. It seems we Americans love to overeat. This restaurant serves portions like you get in Italy or 🇦🇷. Places where obesity is unknown. The service is professional, not familiar. The “flexible “ hours are not a slight, make a reservation and be on time. Chef collects food fresh daily from his garden and suppliers, you won’t get a two week old steak, but if they have been busy that evening, you might be turned away without a reservation. I’ve never gotten out of Bella for less than $100.00, even 25 years ago.

This place is good ole reliable for a few birthday dinners we have for family. Food is always amazing . This time though I will say they were missing some staples on the menu. The ostrich if available is always a favorite at the table. The pasta carbonara is a great side pasta for the family to share. If the lobster ravioli is available for the night, for the love of God get it. It's my personal favorite followed by the elk. The place is expensive but worth it. Currently it seems to be reservation only but it's a great place. It is pricey so make sure you're going with that in mind. Great atmosphere, great food, and great service. You get what you pay for.
