"Bella Trattoria goes big in every way. There’s a long black leather banquette that wraps around the place. Booths stretch up toward the ceiling like imposing ceremonial thrones. And portions of decadent pasta are super-sized. Pile into the Richmond spot to carbo-load on housemade pastas, bruschetta, and even free bread. A full bar and sports playing on TVs will also keep everyone happy. And by “everyone,” we mean the Spikeball crew you’re rolling in with after an intense game at Golden Gate Park." - Julia Chen 1
