    My dinner companion has low vision and the wait staff was most accommodating. My entree was not a hot as I desired....I sent it back for a zap and all was well. Bella Notte does not disappoint!

    Menu selections good. Of the dishes we ordered, some need just a small tweak to be where they need to be. For example, the mushroom appetizer needs a little less salt in the flavor profile and the butternut squash soup needed a few cranks of ground pepper to complete the flavor experience. The chicken parmesan was nice and the chocolate cake dessert was excellent. Coffee was ordered with dessert but was served lukewarm. We were seated at a window, which was nice, but the window was dirty. Plates and silverware had water marks, which made them lack the sparkle you would find in a restaurant that is detail focused. Our server was thorough and pleasant. It would take only small adjustments and more attention to detail for this restaurant to elevate to the next level. On par with restaurants in the area.

    Since my three previous experiences have been very enjoyable, I’ll just strike this visit up to an off night.

    The food and drinks are always exceptional along with the wait staff. This is by far one of the best restaurants in Lexington and never disappoints!

    Really good experience. We had not been here in a while. We’ve always liked this place but they seem to have upped their game. Good food, excellent service.

    Everything was fine except you need to tone down the garlic! The scallops had so much garlic on them making it tough to eat

    Service was incredibly slow and a bit inattentive. Good always good but a bit pricey for lunch though portion was large. Would love a true lunch portion of pasta with small salad and/or soup.

    Awesome service. I ordered the sea bass for dinner and it was amazing. Great Caesar salad and zucchini fries.

    I love this restaurant. The service was really good, and we were happy with the food. It was our date night, though, and it was a little noisy for conversation. Also, it seemed like they really tried to shuffle us along out of there in a hurry. Still, a great place to go.
