Review Bella Notte Ristorante - Whitby

Just WOW. Always busy but the quality remains superior. Amazing staff, host and service. The chefs' special (a 24oz steak) was shared among 2. Spectacular taste and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back. Ps: save room for dessert.

Another day another review, wanted to try out local Italian spots instead of going downtown to try. This restaurant is really good, and I tried risotto for the first time and I definitely enjoyed it! I also had the fresh oysters !! The servers were helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal over all so I would highly recommend it for those in the Durham area !

This restaurant is a good basic pasta place. Really nice service, had the calamari, chicken parm and pasta rustico. Food and portions wee good for the price range but nothing really stood out. The decor/environment inside is also very basic/plain.

Bella Notte never disappoints. We stopped in for an amazing Monday night dinner to ease into the Holiday week. Started with cocktails and Crostini appetizer. Initially drawn by the great Lasagna post (Instagram), but switched up for Fettuccine with Lobster tail, Veal Parmigiano, and the best Apple dessert dish w/ice cream....what a great dinner! The food, staff, service are excellent! What a treat to have such a great place so close to home.

If you ask me that how many times I have been to this restaurant, I can't count on my fingers anymore! This restuarant ambience is great and food are as Authentic as it gets . Great food and great service, Our Server Bradley as in "Bradley Cooper!!" was awesome, provided us great service. Rest of the staff was also really nice and friendly. $$$ but worth the taste and service. Compliments to the chef and the staff!

What an amazing experience! The food was delicious! The service was excellent! My mom wanted Italian food to celebrate her birthday and this place hit everything you'd what at an Italian restaurant. I could not recommend this place more. I was surprised by every bite. I can't wait to go back!

Not impressed at all. Zero ambiance in the restaurant. No decor. We were there as a group for birthday celebrations and they separated us in 2 separate tables instead of one big table. It was difficult to converse with other dinner guests. Food was passed to me from the opposite side of the table by the server. They used plastic tables so short you could not cross your legs under the table, which also made your meal further away. The chairs were incredibly uncomfortable, with zero padding, 3 hrs on those things was awful (you can see they had reupholstered them as there was untrimmed pleather underneath them). Everyone had numb behinds. Our menus were printed on paper with limited selection. They sat public in our party room ( the first table in the picture are patrons of the resturant) I dropped my napkin on the floor and when I retrieved it it was black where it touched the floor. The service was slow, both drinks and food. If you order the Ceasar salad the lettuce comes in full leafs and you must cut it yourself with the dullest butter knife. Our steaks were room temperature, the steak was accompanied with cold/hard vegetables. The bread and the desert was okay. Won't likely ever go to this place again

We had a lovely dinner tonight for our 26th Anniversary! This was our first visit, and definitely will not be our last. Everyone was so friendly, and our waiter was amazing! Food was awesome, dessert was an extra bonus!

We had our son and daughter in law wedding rehearsal dinner at Bella Notte on Friday May 7, 2016. The staff were warm and friendly and done a great job throughout. The food was excellent, top notch. My wife had the grilled salmon, which is her "go to" menu item when she's in an unfamiliar restaurant. She said it was the best salmon she ever tasted, hands down. She would know. A big thank you to the entire staff. I would highly recommend Bella Notte for any occasion.

Our first time eating here on Valentine's day and it was an incredible meal with great service on a busy night. From the oyster and croustini starter to the camel stew and parmeasan crusted sea Basa with shrimp screwer to the lemoncillo cheesecake everything was super rich and tastey. We will definitely visit again.

Love it there! Great food and atmosphere. Been many times with my husband and small groups. Always satisfied!

Cozy and friendly. Exceptional food and service. Highly recommend.

Exceptional food and service! My new favorite Italian restaurant

Delicious food and a warm friendly staff. I'll definitely be back

Absolutely an amazing experience! Best Lamb I've ever had. Service was above impeccable!

Great food. Wonderful staff. Easily the best restaurant around.

My first time there , friendly staff and the food is really GOOD .

Lighting was a little too bright in my opinion.. I prefer a little bit more of an ambient lighting when I go to a restaurant. We didn't have bread plates on our table, so we had to wait for the waiter to come by so we could ask him for some... Food was tasty! It is actually pretty great! Desert was good to! I wouldn't go again though, because I do not like Bella Note's ambiance...
