Bella Notte - BRONX

We visited Bella Notte for the third time to see the band Taboo. We traveled from Westchester for this special occasion. Out of our group of 8, 6 were first-time visitors. We all had a great time enjoying drinks at the bar before being seated for dinner. We were all pleased with our meals, as well as our waitress Regina. The highlight of the night was definitely the band Taboo, which everyone loved. We hope to see them perform again in the future so we can come back. The only small issue we encountered was that the busboys could use some improvement in clearing tables.

The restaurant was very noisy with loud music playing in the background. We noticed television screens around the dining area as well. The hostess and staff were all very pleasant. However, there was a significant delay between receiving our appetizer salad and our main dishes, lasting at least 45 minutes. Unfortunately, one of the main dishes contained bacon, which was not listed on the menu and I am allergic to.

The service was attentive but not overbearing. The food, particularly the stuffed pork chop, was outstanding.

I enjoyed my steak, my mother had good monkfish but the pasta. Meh. My advice, stay away from the Italian food which I do know is ironic!

Appetizers were room temperature, as well as the entree, margarita on the rocks tasted like sucking on a lemon. I don't think I would go back.
