Bella Bottega - Irwindale

I did take off a star for a couple of reasons. Once, I came by during their stated hours and they were closed. On another occasion, I wanted to order an item but was told they didn’t have the ingredients, only to find out later from the manager that they actually did. By that time, I had already placed my order for something else. Additionally, I think they gave me ranch dressing for my mushroom Swiss burger instead of the garlic aioli that was supposed to come with it. I also tried their chocolate chip cookies, which are fantastic! If they’re available when you visit, I definitely recommend adding those to your order. Regarding COVID regulations, they recently resumed indoor dining, and they’ve taped their menu to the table to minimize contact. All seating is arranged six feet apart. However, they do not provide hand sanitizer and there are no acrylic shields at the counter. The cashier wasn’t wearing gloves, but I hope the cook was, though I couldn’t confirm. Both staff members did have masks on.

I really enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs; I would definitely rate them an 8 out of 10. However, I would recommend avoiding the lasagna. The one I had yesterday was burnt on the bottom.

I've been missing out on this place! The sandwiches and pastrami fries are absolutely delicious.

Try to call to place a pick up order and they dont answer the phone.

Not sure if its got new management but the service was kinda shady wont be heading back any time soon
