You should bookmark this place if you plan on heading to the DeYoung Museum and don't want to eat in the museum cafeteria again. It's a reasonable walking distance and they serve solid Italian food. We had party of three and ordered the gnocchi, spaghetti with pork jowl, and lasagna. For dessert, we had dark chocolate and cappuccino gelato and a pineapple sorbet. They have great service, and the ambience is very comfortable. Their prices are quite reasonable for their quality. I've come here more than once, and I will continue coming here. This time I bought two friends, who were extremely happy with their choices.

Okay, I don't get it. What's the hype? This place was par at best.... Upon arriving, we were greeted. The restaurant is small, however customer service and cleanliness was amazing. When we arrived, they had happy hour but specifically only for the bar area and sitting only. I thought it was odd that they didn't extend it to all. In my opinion, they are missing out on business there. When we were seated, our waitress immediately helped us but was a bit hands off since it was quite busy. She must have been juggling many things and we didn't mind it. However, the menu selection is... let's say unique. They had an entire section in gnocchi which I heard was good as they made it in-house from scratch. However, everything else was lacking - none of the protein in each pasta dish really stood out on its own. We ordered anyways and hoped for the food to be good but was again, disappointed. I can't attest for how my group felt, but My gnocchi dish came out overly salty, the gnocchi itself was mushy and bland. Felt like eating clumps of mash potatoes and no mochi or chewy texture like genuine Italian pasta. One thing to mention is that they were generous to pass out some free samples, but I did NOT like the cold fishy tomato soup they passed out and instantly regret even taking the complimentary. It was so fishy tasting that I internally gagged and almost threw up. Additionally, the bread they served came out cold and stale. The only good thing worthy of this two star review was the panna cotta they gave us as a complimentary dessert. It was quaint and shared amongst four people but the texture and sweetness was just right. Overall, I think the restaurant is cute. Customer service is fair and decent. The price is high and variety is lacking. Honestly, I can make better pasta! I'd love for you to at least give this place a try and tell me if I am wrong. Did I just come on a bad cooking day? Lol

I went to Osteria Bella because the seating in the Trattoria was full and this was the only place where we could sit. By the way, the Trattoria also has the same menu, but this is kind of like a different part of the restaurant. The food was absolutely legendary and the service was pretty good. I got spaghetti with red sauce, I always get it as my go-to meal here. The vibe is different from the Trattoria. Osteria Bella has kind of a nightclub vibe, which makes sense because they have a bar which is not included in the Trattoria. I do enjoy the vibe though! And luckily there is some seating parts as well!
