Bella’s Bistro Italiano - Ottawa, Ontario

Please please don't tell anyone, this is one of our favorites in the city. Make sure you try the Beef in cognac reduction, it is superb. Also plan for a good bottle and open it early, they have a superior collection of wines you will not find elsewhere. I ... prefer upstairs, but be generous because your servers will work much harder if you indulge in the quiet. Read more

The smoked salmon fettuccine were great, and a special mention to the amazing tiramisu! I have to admit, it beats my mom's recipe!!

An incredible meal! Fantastic & Friendly Service! A great family night out! From the homemade bread, the homemade sauce and pasta ... we couldn't get enough. The perfect meal when you're away from home! And don't forget to try the homemade ice cream and pecan pie OMG!

My husband & I love everything about eating at Bella's. We have had many meals there & every one has been wonderful. We bring friends, co workers & customers - all because we are certain to enjoy a great meal.

My husband and I have been going to Bella's Bistro for years. It is our favourite place for a cozy, intimate evening. It's a great feeling when your favourite waiter knows you by name, and you know his (Nick). The decor is simple and elegant, without being pretentious. ... And the service is impeccable. Our favourite appetizers are their garlic & leek mussels, and their Caesar Salad. All of the entrees that we have tried were delicious. It's worth checking out the daily specials, as they are always interesting and tasty. And when in doubt, ask your waiter. They know everything! Bella's is a true hidden gem. May you continue to enjoy many years of success! Read more
