My wife and I went on New Year's Eve. "Ali" was our server and she was TREMENDOUS AND OUTSTANDING and so FRIENDLY AND CHARMING! She took care of our menu options, dressed our desert (Tiramisu) deliciously, and had us never needing a thing throughout our meal! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you ask for "Ali" when you go. She will most definitely be our request every time!
As for the food, what can I say, but OUTSTANDING, DECADENT, SUPERB, PERFECTLY COOKED, and MELT IN YOUR MOUTH DELICIOUS!
We had the FRIED CALAMARI for our appetizer and they did not hold back on the portion. It was light, crispy, perfectly cooked, and very tasty! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for your meal starter!
My wife had the SALMONE DE DIABLO (an array of shrimp, calamari, and mussels on top of a generous cut of salmon in a spicy "Diablo" sauce), and it was cooked to perfection, so flavorful, and more than a one meal serving (plenty left over to take home to enjoy, again!)!
I thoroughly enjoyed the "Chef's Special" 3-course meal. It came with 2 perfectly cooked medium rare, melt in your mouth tenderloin medallions, with crisp and tasty asparagus straws on top all covered in a red wine mushroom sauce. Soooooo good and cooked to perfection! I was allowed to exchange the salad for the lobster bisque, which my wife had, as well, and we were not disappointed, at all. It was so creamy, flavorful, with plenty of lobster pieces and just the right spice of heat. And I was also allowed to change the chocolate cake in cherry sauce to their signature "Tiramisu" all dressed and drizzled in chocolate sauce and coffee powder, perfectly, by our server, "Ali"! She did a wonderful job and that desert was also more than a one meal sitting, as was my dinner. Plenty of leftovers to take home, and ENJOY FOR ANOTHER DAY, which we most definitely did!
Therefore, needless to say, our vote for BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN EL PASO IS "TRATTORIA BELLA SERA" on Yarbrough & Montana! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you make this your next "date night" dinner", family outing, or to satisfy that craving for EXCELLENT ITALIAN FOOD, and ask for "Ali"! You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! We sure were not! We will be back, again and again! Thank you to all of you who made this New Year's Eve a most memorable occasion! Well done and see you soon!
