I don’t leave reviews often, but I must say this was excellent. My husband and I had plans to go the Alamo Draft House, but we’re getting hungry while waiting, and made a decision to stop here and share a plate for our date night. The service was prompt and respectful. The bread knots were phenomenal (so phenomenal that I had to ask for one extra). The spaghetti held the sauce well and the flavor of the dish was outstanding. Highly recommend going here for a date night. I even felt so bad wearing my sweats inside because how lovely the dining experience was. Will be back! (In proper attire).

It was my first trip to this fine establishment. I was there for a business meeting and had heard the food was good. Well, it ends up this Italian food was some of the best I've tasted in a long time... and not crazy expensive. I have a very discerning pallet and prefer to write honest reviews about food quality (not a fast food person at all). Even the bread was unique, but better than other Italian restaurants I've visited. The wait staff was pleasant and very consciences and courteous. It was a clean and friendly atmosphere! I'll be back to eat here again.

This place is a gem in Leander. The location is perfect. The warm staff greets you with a smile, and once you're inside, you forget about all the fast-food places you see every day. It's like a trip to a small restaurant in Italy. And not to mention the delicious food! We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you 🙏

Came to Bella Sera Leander for the first time and it was amazing! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cute, and the server was great. The fettuccini Alfredo is some of the best we have had, outside of Italy. Didn’t get a photo of it because we dug in too quickly lol. Great wine selection as well. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant by far has been one of if not the best Italian restaurant's to truly experience Authentic Italian Cuisine. The owners and workers are so very friendly and accommodating they treat and great you with a smile EVERY time. They not only care about the food there serving but they honestly care about every single customer that walks thru there door. We have been twice and is now one of our go to places for GREAT food, service and Atmosphere. Please go and see for your selves and you won't be disappointed!

Had a craving for some Italian and decided to try this place out. I am so glad I did! The customer service was awesome and the food tasted great! The environment was very welcoming and relaxing. The restrooms are very clean and service was quick. The food prices are a little above average however you receive a lot of food for the price. The bread tastes great with the oil dipping so be sure to ask for the oil sauce. Overall this was a great place to visit to have some Italian and recommend this place.

in town for the weekend to attend tournaments. I had high expectations on quality of the food, unfortunately my Frutti De Mares seafood was soupy, my daughter barely touched her Fettucini Carbonara and wife did not touch her shrimp scampi. The appetizer (fried calamari) was very good . Our server was more focused on socializing in the front counter than attending to us.

We visited for Lunch and ordered lunch special. The food was fresh and good. Tried Baked Tortellini and Chicken Alfredo Pasta. I prefer Cheese Ravioli(not that heavy when we tried at liberty hill branch) rather than Baked Tortellini(Bit heavy). Pasta taste was good. They only served salad in this Leander location but I got option to choose between soup and salad at liberty hill location which was surprising for me. Lunch special menu is also bit different in other locations.

The in-restaurant experience is pleasant. Food is decent, not outstanding - for the price, anyway. Don't order delivery, it's pretty awful (everything turns to a "soup" of noodles). It's the only place my kids won't eat the spaghetti, if that says anything. The meat is... Microwaved...? I guess is the best way I can describe it. The veal and chicken are both overcooked, dry, and the watery sauces offer nothing for flavor. If you're a hyper-taster, this place is probably amazing. The desserts are pretty good. If I returned, which I likely won't, I'd opt against the raspberry sauce they add to all the desserts. The bread is great, and the salads are solid. Service is good, albeit awkward. I really want to like this place, but after multiple experiences I can't really recommend it. Not for the price. Or flavor.

Family friendly but also a great date night restaurant! Easy to get a table for two or ten! The staff is always very welcoming and if you are looking for satisfying Italian food, lots of cheese, and some amazing bread look no further!

Stopped in for lunch with a small group on Friday. Parking is out front and we were seated right away. They offer a wide menu of Italian favorites, as well as wine and beer. Complimentary bread was brought to the table, delicious! We had the shrimp scampi, the pasta sampler, salads and soup. All were very tasty and generous portions. Also, we had the calamari appetizer which was tasty. Service was good and prompt, and the food was served hot. Overall, a good dining experience.

Went on Father's Day. The food was good and served simply. Not great food, but good. The complimentary garlic knots were a nice touch. Since the recipes are probably company-wide, there are other things that can be done to improve the dining experience. Servers were friendly and looked very professional and knowledgeable in their long white aprons. Our young server couldn't describe dishes and a more experienced server came over and gave descriptions and recommendations. If new servers are given a menu tasting and explanation of ingredients, they would be better prepared to service their tables. It would also give them a better feeling of teamwork and they'll possibly take more pride in their work. The decor is upscale for the area. Still, maybe get rid of the fake flowers and put just one stem of a real flower in the vases on the tables for a more elegant look. Yes, it would cost a little more, but it also speaks more of quality and going the extra mile. Just some thoughts so that this lovely little restaurant thrives in Leander.

Good garlic knots and salad, meat was a bit tough in the chicken Parmesan. I was not a fan of the sauce on the 🍝. It tasted sweet to me. That said, I would go back and try something else because the service was very good and the atmosphere was friendly.

This was a Doordash order. I ordered lasagna. This is an Italian restaurant. The very definition of lasagna is wide pasta noodles "layered" with meat sauce and cheese(s). What did they send me? One darned wide noodle with ricotta spread on it, some meat sauce dumped on top, then topped with a sparse cheese coating. I would be SO EMBARRASSED to send out something that looked like that and call it a lasagna plate. Clearly, they had NONE and threw a single noodle on to boil, then slopped on the single layers of meat sauce and cheese. What a pathetic attempt. They should have called and told me they had none, would I like to substitute another meal. This place was always great in the past. What happened?
