    Nothing not to like...we've dined here for years. A perfect evening every time. David Snyder and his staff know what they're doing and they are consistently on the mark. Absolutely worth the trip no matter where you're coming from.

    I love Bella. However since they moved to their new location. I donot think the food is as good and the charm factor has gone way down. The paella is still a winner.

    had the signature cheeseburger with an egg and bacon and a great glass of merlot at the suggestion of our Awesome waiter Pedro. I went back for brunch hoping Pedro would be our server and much to my dismay he had been fired. I won't be going back he was more than half the reason I was there! he had Amazing suggestions as was Extremely Attentive to my needs. Brunch sadly the waitress was less than mediocre. didn't really check on me or offer much of a suggestion for someone who told her it my first time there for brunch. Good Servers Are Key! I ran my own catering business and when you find a Gem you Find a Way to Keep Them!

    El restaurante cambió de ubicación y nadie lo informa, estuvimos dando vueltas más de una hr hasta que se los ocurrió hablar al lugar y nos dieron la nueva dirección !!! Deberían actualizar la dirección aquí en la app, ya que uno reserva el restaurante por la ubicación en el rio y en la nueva ubicación está en el centro.

    Class Act! We stayed at The Westin Riverwalk, and had dinner at Zocca. From the moment we walked in- the experience was outstanding! The food, drinks, waitress were amazing. We got recommendations on places to visit in town. We returned to order drinks at the bar late each night. The bartender was personable and made great recommendations. We will definitely return when we visit San Antonio.

    The restaurant was closed because they moved to a new location. I should never been able to make a reservation to a restaurant that was closed. A big fail for OpenTable!
