Do we go to the new place, Palmer's or Bella Notte? Tough decision til we read the reviews here of Palmer's. On to Bella Notte! Never disappointed. American Italian, casual, value menu, nice wine list and on Thursday the bottles are 50% off...this makes dinner all the better and the labels are solid. I like to check out the customers...who...

We have a love- hate relationship with this resturant. The food can be great or mediocre, the service can be great or dreadfully slow. I am surprised that such fine food and service can change to mediocre and slow in a week or two. It must be the management. I am about to take it off my favorites list. At... More

Whenever my wife and I are in Lexington, we always make time to dine at Bella Notte. Great food, reasonable prices, and a friendly staff. We have never been disappointed.

I used to frequent Lexington over 10 years ago and I would always eat at Bella Notte. When visiting Lexington last weekend, I took my husband there for the first time.

The first local restaurant in Lexington is still one of my favorites. Stellar Italian variety (and a great place to convince women to go to) that is consistent. Also less expensive than olive garden and Giuseppe’s. Also tastes better than those two.

She made good sugguestions and we did try items from the Seasonal Menu. Winter Menu will be gone soon, but Spring is just around the corner. Kentucky... More

Unorganized and unsanitary. We were sat after waiting in the lobby for ten minutes as servers walked by and the bartender talked loud enough for us too hear about how we were just standing there and what were we doing?!? They sat us under a tree in the dining area, despite my request to sit out in the open area... More

Bella Notte has yummy, warm bread they bring to your table, a unique atmosphere (including a giant artifical tree with lights in the center of the restaurant), great food/desserts. Their seasonal menus offer great items as well. The baked pasta dishes, especially the lasagna, are superb and highly recommended. The mixed drinks are so-so, but the food is wonderful. If... More
