    The vibe was elegant and beautiful. Minimal noise, big open romantic space, excellent food and drinks. I had the lobster linguine, it was perfection. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and efficient. We would love to visit again when it warms up outside.

    We drove an hour to enjoy our Valentines dinner here and had a fantastic time. The setting was quiet and upscale. The food was amazing and everyone who helped us was friendly and professional. Our main server, Matthew, did his job to perfection. He was friendly, helpful and patient. I saw him watching us as he made his way around the room helping other diners, then approached us when he sensed we needed something, were ready to make our next order, or prepare the food we had not finished to take home. Third visit made us want to return more frequently. Thanks to Rem, Matthew and the whole tan for making this a memorable experience!

    Bella Monica is my new favorite restaurant! I have a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating, even bringing out gluten free focaccia at no extra charge. My husband and I came here for his birthday and they wrote “happy birthday” to him in chalk on the sidewalk along with confetti on the table❤️The staff was so kind and understanding especially with my allergy. We loved every dish and will definitely eat here again soon!
