Food and service are excellent but the wine is super expensive!!!!
Appetizer serves fast and delicious. However, the main course serves too late while not as good as the appetizer.
We were in the mood for something different and remembered dining al fresco here pre pandemic!
We were greeted by Ruben who from start to finish took excellent care of us!
We enjoyed some bubbly under a canopy on their patio while listening to some quiet jazz in the background, and savored their fresh baked focaccia with a yummy slightly spicy butter.
Our order was fried calamari, grilled chicken with avocado sandwich and an eggplant parmigiana with marinara sandwich, all very yummy and portions were generous!
We will be back!
Great service. Delicious food. I love the variety in the menu and the outdoor dining area was nice out in the sun.
Haven't been there in years. It was absolutely delicious!
Met up with a friend during Covid, and we were seated outside on the deck. Our waiter was great, very friendly and accommodating. We each ordered some wine, and great food. I had veal scallopine, and my friend had chicken and prawn marsala. Both were tasty, and brought out fairly quickly. We stayed for a few hours to catch up on everything, and enjoyed some more wine. We were never rushed, and really enjoyed our lunch and visit.
Love the starter bread. Everything we ordered tasted good. Arugula salad and tiramisu are a must try!
Food and service were wonderful
The salmon ravioli was out of this world. Super romantic. It was the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day!
Service was excellent, EXCEPT that when I ordered decaf coffee, an assistant server brought me full-caf. As soon as he set down, I said "That's decaf, right?" And he said "Sorry" and took the coffee away. 30 seconds later he returned with what looked like the exact same mug & saucer (usually decaf will have a doily or different cup) so I repeated "This one is decaf?" And he mumbled something as he walked away.
I was awake until 3:30am!!! And this was an early dinner- we were home before 7pm.
PLEASE QUOTE THE PRICE OF "SPECIALS" WITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK AND LOOK LIKE A CHEAPSKATE!
Gorgonzola salad was excellent; we split it and it was plenty. Salmon Ravioli was good, too. The Bone-in Ribeye Special was...meh. It was gristle-y and fatty. Fingerling potatoes had little flavor.
We like Bella Saratoga, but this was not up to their high standards.
Valentines Day
We had a great time and really enjoyed our dinner. It was romantic and the food was delicious!
Literally THE BEST MEAL we have had in almost a year.
One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner together after my parents went for their anniversary and recommended it to us. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. I plan to go back again as soon as possible.
Awesome experience - wonderful food and service...
Food, live music and Service was great. It was a chilly night and we were sharing one heater with two other tables 6 feet away...so dress appropriately.
Really nice evening to celebrate our anniversary. The wait staff were excellent- attentive, engaging, and anticipated our needs. Food was great, especially the bread pudding!! Recommend the eggplant parm for sure.
We went for my husband’s birthday wanting to try a new restaurant. It exceeded our expectations.
Good lunch in a nice weather
Met friends for brunch. Nice outdoor seating and the food was great. I’ll definitely visit again.
We went here on our first date a year ago and now that we are married this is our place! We try to eat here once a month or so and Rigo has become our favorite waiter. The food is great, priced right, and the ambience and guitarist are fabulous. We love how they've handled the protocols due to Covid and that they aren't too overzealous, while being safe. Highly recommend this quaint place!
Food was great, atmosphere was great, the man playing the guitar was great but service was poor. We rarely saw our waiter and we wanted something we had to ask the bus boy.
I recommended you to John Crowley and he was there last night-loved it!
The ambience and food at Bella Saratoga was fine but the service left much to be desired!
Our server didn't come by to take our order for drinks for quite a while after we were seated. When it was time to serve us our food the server served it to us over a railing that was dividing the outdoor seating from a walkway that lead to the inside of the restaurant! Improve on the service please!
We had a really nice experience. We enjoyed ourselves sitting outside eating delicious food.
Asked for seating under the awning, they said sure and brought us to the table then said no you need to sit over here??????
Waiter did show up for 10 min (not busy), my wife asked for vodka in her drink instead of Gin, he said no. He said I’ll give you a few more minutes to decide, 15 min later never showed back up. Got up and left.
knowledgable and friendly waiter, excellent food and service, outdoor patio ambience, and good value for the money.
Tables on the street are ignored. The bread pudding, on the other hand, is FANTASTIC.
All of the staff were attentive and great! Always the best service, and super accommodating for my friends and I. Overall, delicious food and a great experience :)
Beautiful setting for excellent food and service and reasonable prices.
The food was pretty good. They had a musician doing live music but really needed to turn down the amplifiers, I couldn't hear the person across the table from me. The servers were excellent.
We ate in the court yard on Saturday night. There was a guitar playing playing music. The service was prompt all night. The food was cooked perfectly for myself and my family. We enjoyed the nice atmosphere. I think that that the price is commensurate with the whole dining experience.
Beautiful place, excellent food.
Bella Saratoga never disappoints. Food was delicious, ambience is lovely outdoors, and they had some beautiful guitar live music!
What a lovely hidden gem to find in the Bay Area. Bella Saratoga has wonderful staff and service. Great food, live music at times, and is a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all.
We had the outstanding service from Brandon. Great bartender, knew about all the food and was a delight to engage with. Super friendly, calm and competent! Food was also very good!
We have been there before with good results. Not all that great this time. Service was slow maybe because of pandemic rules.
The food menu changed, which isn’t the problem. However, I felt the food was just average. The steak was extra fatty, with supposedly a truffle sauce. For a $55 steak it had no flavor. The potatoes were not cooked well. The Cioppino tasted like a canned tomato soup. I was very disappointed in the food overall. The service was great as usual, I do have to mention. I would love to come back but I fear it won’t be enjoyable like it once was.
Enjoyable. Covid safe. Very pleasent andfun wait staff.
Great menu. All food was very good whether beef or fish or seafood. Service great. We had a person in a wheel chair so ate outside, but it was nice.
