This was our third visit to Bella Notte to see the band Taboo. We come from quite a distance in Westchester. Of our party of 8, 6 had never been there before. Everyone enjoyed their drinks at the bar prior to being seated. Dinner was enjoyed by all, as was our waitress Regina. Everyone LOVED the band. Keep having Taboo perform and we'll continue to return. A minor point - the busboys could be better trained on clearing the tables.

The restaurant is very loud. Music was playing loudly too, we also with for television screens. The hostess was lovely and the staff was lovely, but after they brought us our appetizer salad, it must’ve been at least 45 minutes before they brought us our main dishes, and it turned out that one of them had bacon which I do not think with this thing on the menu, and I am allergic to bacon, so I couldn’t have that.

Great food in a friendly local spot. Been here several times. Most dishes are excellent. A recent Fettuccini Alfredo dish didn't have a strong enough parmesan cheese flavor for me, but was remedied with (a lot of) added parmesan. Great service. Has several large screen tv's above the bar.

Nothing special but a place to go in Riverdale for an Italian dinner. I think it’s rude that they expect a credit card to be given for a reservation on Open Table.
