    Wonderful experience. Food was fantastic. Upscale from Olive Garden but no need to dress black tie. Highly recommend a reservation to avoid waiting.

    It was uncomfortably hot where we were seated, and very noisy. All of the neighboring tables were very loud. My shirt was wet with sweat by the time we left. Chicken Parmesan was subpar. The chicken was very hot, and pasta only lukewarm. I think the chicken was microwaved to reheat it. The meal was very expensive and left me very disappointed. Service was good, though.

    I have been going to Bella Notte for close to 30 years and I've never had a bad experience. This visit was for mine and my husband's birthday. We were seated in a nice quiet area, the food was outstanding and our waiter was very attentive. They are always good but this was one of our best visits.
    Bella NotteResponded on June 26, 2025
    Jamie, We are so glad that we were able to share this amazing milestone in both you and your husband's life. Thank you for trusting us to make sure that this birthday for you both would be one to remember (in the best of ways). We look forward to seeing you both soon and happy birthday again!

    One of the best kept secrets in Lexington. Traditional Italian at a price so low it’s almost criminal.
