  Great food and atmosphere! Expansive menu. The only con I can think of is that it gets really hot inside. Ask for Eric for your server–he is outstanding.

  We had a horrible experience at this place. The restaurant was nearly empty but it took forever to get our menus and water, then it took forever to make our food. When they finally brought the seafood risotto I had ordered they had made me chicken and sausage risotto, and when I asked about it politely they informed me the cook had decided to make me something entirely different because they were out of the item I ordered! I asked them to just bring me a plate of spaghetti because I was starving by that time, and that spaghetti had me in the bathroom for 2 days!

  This place is the best Italian food in town. I have never had anything but a pleasant experience, despite what Stefani said. The food is very authentic, as verified by my fiance - who is from Milan, and delicious! They serve roasted garlic with the bread, instead of butter, that is amazing. The crab manicotti is to die for, as are the pesto dishes. It’s so good that we’re using this as our wedding rehearsal dinner location! How’s THAT for a recommendation?

  Awesome food, if a little uncomfortable inside.

  Any place a chef comes out and asks me how something was, I can dig.

  I love this intimate little place. Nothing fancy-shmancy - just cozy with fab food. I’ve never been disappointed.

  I think this is one of the worst Italian Restaurants I’ve been to in the Seattle area. I ordered plain Spaghetti & Meatballs and the meatballs we’re so incredibly hard it was horrible. The sauce itself tasted like they added a cup of sugar… kid friendly I suppose. I wasn’t impressed. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp pasta which was very expensive and it was nothing special. You’d be better off making Italian food at home.

  I have never been disappointed at Pasta Bella. It’s a comfortable, friendly place that is as consistently good as any restaurant I’ve ever been to. It’s not fancy or pretentious, just very good food. The Linguini Putanesca is SO good, that I end up getting it more often than not. And it’s exactly the same each time: excellent.

  Good food, good prices, good wine, and good service (server gave good accurate descriptions of the food when questioned). This was the first time I visited this restaurant and was pleased with the dinner for the four of us.
