    D’annas is by far one of the *places* in town to go if you are trying to impress a date, some parents, or anyone. Yourself even. They offer fantastic food with a great ambiance. With every order you get a salad and what I like to call “pizza bread” because it isn’t your basic free accoutrement to your entree as it is topped with sauce and cheese. Your entree will also be a huge portion, just plan to have it for a nice meal the next day as well. Which won’t be disappointing! You’ll look forward to tour leftovers and it will be just as tasty! I usually get the butternut squash raviolis which are just divine, absolutely one of my favorite meals out there. This time I tried the vodka linguine because I wanted to live on the wild side and , oomph. It was so delicious. Now I’m going to be torn between the two each time I go, which I feel is going to be the case every time I try something new. Because it’s always going to be divine.

    Absolutely incredible food! I loved that a number of their dishes were vegetarian friendly! I ordered the cheese ravioli with pesto and my partner had the sausage manicotti. Service was great considering we came in during what was a very busy Saturday night dinner rush. Both our meals came with a small salad and some bread. I didn’t catch our server’s name but she was great. We’ll be back here for sure!

    We always get the Berschetta plate as an appetizers. Then tonight I tried Spanch Rigatoni in Pesto sauce, so good and felt a little healthy eating it. But normally I get the Eggplant Parmesan, which is always good as well. But tonight we got stuck by the door which was so cold, I wore my jacket the whole time; and we got charged twice for the Berschetta plate and was quickly fixed.

    Lemon meringue ice cream cake melted this long starved gluten free person’s heart today. Nice way to close out a long adventure. Also, I had the best seat in the house getting to watch the cooks in action!

    I couldn’t recommend D’Annas enough! The food was exquisite as well as the service. There were so many amazing things on the menu that I couldn’t decide. Our server David helped me choose! He was a fantastic server. We will be coming back for sure!

    Amazing homemade pasta, sauces, appetizers...everything we tried. We had the bruschetta as an appetizer and cheese ravioli, butternut ravioli and Primavera as entrees. All of them were amazing. Truly making their own pasta makes a huge difference. The Italian soda was great too. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    A++ on everything. The service was above, and beyond - for the first time in my life two people tried to clear my empty plate, and our food, drinks and service was quick. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and it was the BEST I've ever had. The chicken was still "moist" (sorry, hate that word, but it fits), and the alfredo sauce was authentic tasting, almost like it had a seafood base (in a way I liked even though I don't like seafood very much) but I think it was just high quality cheese. Their housemade lasagna was amazing as well - the sauce was sweet but it went perfectly with their mix of meats and cheeses. Anytime I go back to Bellingham I will be returning to this reastaraunt first. It isnt air condidtioned but it was cool enough to be comfortable even at the height of summer. I highly recommend this place!

    On the pricey end, but they back it up by being a profoundly delicious! They have Italian classics as well as modern, re-imagined dishes that you might call Italian-American, but I shudder at that term because it implies something like olive garden. This is definitely not that. Their flavors and ingredients are so well balanced that even a heavy, creamy sauce isn't overpowering - it just compliments the ingredients perfectly. They clearly know their stuff. They have an excellent, large patio for outdoor dining, too! And the staff are friendly and attentive.

    D'anna's was recommended to my years ago. We had the pleasure of visiting for the first time this weekend! With Covid procedures, being seated was a little tricky, as the restaurant was filled to the brim by 5pm on a Friday. Nevertheless, we were greeted and seated quickly considering the situation. We were pleased to be seated on the patio out back and enjoyed watching the cooks hard at work as we walked past. I ordered the Chicken Parm with pasta marinara, my husband opted for the Seared Duck from the features menu. Both meals came with salad and delicious bread that was big enough to be a meal in its own. We also split a bottle of Riesling wine out of Walla Walla, and Tiramisu for dessert. All of the food was delicious! Cost was just about a hundred dollars! Staff was friendly, and restaurant (bathr included) were very clean!

    After reading reviews while visiting over memorial weekend we were excited to try this place. Unfortunately my lamb was way over cooked, it came well done. My boyfriend asked for suggestion on marinara sauce and this was more a meat sauce, really heavy on capers which wasn’t bad but not a marinara sauce. The best part of our meals was the bread and gnocchi. Overall I’d say dinner was “ok” We probably would not eat there again

    The food and the service were mediocre in my opinion. It seemed like a pretty popular place to go to for locals in the area; I saw many guests walk in to dine in while I was there.

    5 stars for our entrees. I had the manicotti with Italian sausage, and the flavors were on point. The staff was friendly too. The salads could use work (not much seasoning and soggy croutons), but the main meals were big enough on their own to be filling.

    Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. Perfect for date night, portions are big and very filling. It was pretty busy since it was a Friday night but we still got seated pretty quickly. Highly recommend.

    I've been going to D'Anna's every year for my birthday for years. It's my tradition. This year I had the Italian sausage ravioli and it was perfect. Cheers to these guys for always turning out great food.

    Great experience. Unassuming place. Food was good and was served very quickly. Got the seared duck and it was fantastic. Sat on the patio and it was clean and taken care of.

    Awesome stop after a long wait at the Canadian boarder. Great food. Wonderful service. Warm family atmosphere. Portions are large and welcomed... looking forward to leftovers! Highly highly recommended!

    D'Anna's has the best lasagna in town. For carry-out, my husband and I split one order of lasagna (comes with a salad) and order an extra house salad (love the clean ingredients of the red wine vinegar dressing). We're not "light" eaters and this is the perfect night-in dinner for us.

    It's a nice small town fancy restaurant. The kitchen has a upper class look while the tables were....just about "nice." Food was good, large portion but just a tab bit more expensive for my preference Staff were nice, but they look way too busy serving a handful of tables.

    After a long day of shopping at the outlet and reading all the reviews, we decided to have dinner at this place. Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. 3 of us ordered 3 different dishes, and it was very delicious 😋
