Best restaurant in Palm Bay. Makes you feel like you are in another town on vacation. Kendall is such a great server. Can’t say enough good things about her. The closest I’ve gotten to Italy since being there. ❤️🤍💚 P.S. Get the limoncello 🤤

Such an amazing establishment! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The wine was superb and the lasagna, MY GOSH, a taste of beauty; so flavorful, rich, and authentic. I felt so much happiness and love with every bite. This is definitely one that made my favorites list. Do yourself a favor and visit this amazing restaurant. You will NOT be disappointed. 💖🍷🍽💕

My new favorite place to eat! Stopped by for lunch and drinks and they did NOT disappoint! The cabbage potato soup was a perfect combination, butternut squash ravioli cooked al dente with amazing flavor. But lets talk about the lasagna... wow. Best I've ever had! I also tried the white sangria, price was a little high, but best $11 drink I've ever had! Run don't walk and go try them today!!!!

I’m so happy that I found an authentic Italian restaurant. My girlfriend invited me here for lunch and we had such a great time. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was truly amazing, and the overall aesthetic of this restaurant is perfect. I will definitely be coming back. We were really blown away by this place!

Loved it. Tried their Limincello based on other reviews. I don’t think I’d ever had limoncello before. It was creamy and wine based which the waitress seemed to indicate was unusual- very light/fresh/tasty though. The bread was fresh baked and came with an herbed butter which was very nice. I got the caprese salad which was very very good. For my meal I got the mushroom truffle papardelle which was outstanding. Afterwards I got the tiramisu with a decaf coffee which was also very very good. Pretty sure it’s a fairly new restaurant but at this rate I think it’s rating will stay fairly high! Kendall was my server and she did a great job, too.

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. The four cheese pasta finished in a cheese wheel and the mushroom and truffle pappardelle are phenomenal. They make all of their pastas fresh and the atmosphere is quaint.

Trattoria Bella Cucina Italiana- Palm Bay, FL- 2 Stars “The cooking standards for Italian food are less demanding than for French. All you need are some fried mozzarella and five pastas and you're in business.” – Danny Meyer Aside from the ever-present fast food burger place neigh on every corner, Italian-American sit-downs have to be the largest segment of the restaurant industry. If there is a burger joint on every corner, there must be an Italian-American watering hole on every other one. Such were my thoughts as I read the name, Trattoria Bella Cucina Italiana winking at me from the window of my name generator. OTB I go! Stepping inside there is no doubt you are in an Italian-American eatery as every single table in such an establishment is a red and white checkerboard. Does one firm have a monopoly on interior decoration among the Italian-American restaurant owners? Standard décor aside, I was shown a table and handed a menu. Perusing the menu, I must say, I was looking forward to sampling their grub and as I was about to put my menu down, Kevin showed up tableside with some bread and told me he was going to be my waiter for the meal. I asked if the pasta was homemade. At first, he answered indeed, but upon further pressing, he backed down from his assertion. So, he either didn't know for sure or stopped fibbing. Either way, it didn't bode well. I asked Kevin for an order of Octopus Mediterranea and some Cioppino. Digging into the bread while awaiting Kevin's return I was delighted by the obvious homemade bread. It was crunchy, charming and comes with tastes like basil butter. Very scrumptious. I didn't get a chance to taste much more of the bread when I saw Kevin returning with my order. If you take a gander at the accompanying pictures, you can see just how well everything was presented. It certainly looked delicious! Placing my meat hooks around the knife and fork I began to dig through the Octopus Mediterranea. This is absolutely perfect. The meal was obviously made to order as the potatoes were finely chopped like a traditional root vegetable and the Octopus was enchanting. The Cephalopod was supple and not at all rubbery which is often the case and this makes it a 5-star dish all day long. The side of broccoli rabe was flash fried, unseasoned, bland and withering. Turning my attention to the Ciopinno I noticed that it didn't quite look up to the bar set by the previously digested mollusk. In fact, it had a rather overly fishy taste (this is a sure sign the fish/seafood is past its prime). Unless you're eating the Bluefish you just caught during their last run off the coast, your fish shouldn't taste like fish if you know what I mean. This was obviously concocted with cheap ingredients and this made me really sad as the Octopus was so outstanding. So much hope dashed in an instant of stinky, gamy, past its prime seafood. It is so hard to see such a mixed bag. They should have told me no Cioppino today. Instead they tried to bluff me and hope I wouldn’t notice. They picked the wrong customer to attempt this subterfuge. Very insulting. The Big Boy says, “Incompetent Irrelevant and Immaterial.” #bigboy #bigboydiningout #bigboydining

Best italian food. Delicious! The Mussel lobster bisque was fantastic. The spaghetti Frutti Di Mare was packed with seafood and flavor

Second time eating here and can honestly say this is the best and most authentic Italian food I’ve ever had. Our server, Kaylee, was very attentive and kind. I also love the ambiance here. It’s cozy and quaint. Overall a wonderful experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying everything else on the menu!

First time trying with the wife. The most amazing authentic Italian restaurant we've had the pleasure trying. If you like seafood spaghetti or grandmas meatball spaghetti 🍝 give this a place a try, you won't regret it!! My wife is in love with the mussels in lobster bisque. Thanks again for your kindness and a great lunch.

My boyfriend and I came here to have my Birthday dinner last night, and it was PERFECT. And I don’t say that lightly..the service was excellent, our server was amazingly sweet, attentive, and very educated on the menu. The food, got the flat bread appetizer with the poached pear, crispy brussel sprouts, prosciutto(our server recommended it as an addition and WOW!)finished with their truffle honey; this is one of the most well balanced dishes I have EVER had in this whole town! We also enjoyed our Entrees I chose the dish that caught my eye on the menu that lead us here in the first place which was the Mushroom truffle papardelle and I had no complaint about the entirety of the dish exactly what I expected and wanted. My boyfriend got the Frutti Di Mare which was a shellfish spaghetti with a spicy seafood sauce( spice level was balanced and palatable for most if not all). The seafood was very fresh and beautifully presented in the dish! To finish our courses I had ordered the Tiramisu which was not too sweet and the espresso flavor really shined just how I like it to! In conclusion this place has been open for a little over a year now and I feel fortunate to have them here in this area! This husband, wife and their team know exactly what great food and ambiance is, if you are looking for a real feel of Italy with house made ingredients and freeing atmosphere, please go and give them a visit, I couldn’t see any way to be disappointed here. Thank you Trattoria Bella, we will be back 🎉

What a great experience, we can’t say enough about this authentic, cosy Italian restaurant in Palm Bay, Fl. The staff is friendly and the chef is serving great food consistently, every plate we have tasted has been mouth watering. If you are looking for great Italian food, you have found it. Enjoy, Buon Appetito!!!

Oh. My. This restaurant is it. My husband and I went here for a date the week after Christmas and loved it so much I had to come back with family less than a week later. It is located in a plain strip of stores along Palm Bay road, and you could easily drive right past, but don’t! Trust me. Food: while a bit more expensive than everyday Italian, the food is top-notch quality with balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. The flatbread was a delight - a light, crispy flatbread base with just the right amount of cheese to add savory flavor but not so much as to overwhelm, and the pears & honey added just enough sweetness for an unusual but delicious combination. The lasagna had fresh pasta layers with a light, creamy cheese sauce and flavorful meat or sausage. The pistachio-crusted salmon was perfectly cooked and the vegetable side was delicious, as well as the flavorful pesto. The dessert board to share is a must - we were divided evenly as to which of the 3 desserts was the best, but all the better to share! One of our family is dairy-free which can be a challenge at Italian restaurants that don’t stock dairy-free/vegan cheese but the server and kitchen worked with us to find something my picky eater would eat. There were many options, so I’m confident they could satisfy a variety of dietary needs! Next time I want to try the alfredo they make/toss inside a giant cheese wheel - I’d never heard of it but my Italian MIL said it’s legit. Service: on point. One visit it was empty, the other it was poppin. Both times the service was attentive without being annoying. We never felt rushed or neglected. The servers knowledgeably answered questions or asked the kitchen, like when we had allergen questions. Ambience: beautiful without being too fancy. Thoughtful details everywhere, like the owner’s personal family pictures on the walls and Italian music playing softly in the background. There are many tables inside and the covered patio looked comfortable if the weather allows. 100% you should go here. Support local. Tip well.

Very intimate seating, but with great atmosphere. My only critique is the time it took for our food to come, but I assume that was due to what was ordered. Excellent food, ordered the bruchetta and got all 3 varieties (pictured). Excellent choice, but I regret not going with the "Italian Street Food" for the appetizer. We kept seeing it go out to tables and wanted some for ourselves! We ordered for entree the "Braised Short Ribs" (pictured) and the "Potato & Mascarpone" (pictured) dishes. Fantastic. The serving size was on point for both the short ribs and pasta. However, I wished there was more balsamic to help cut the sweetness of the mascarpone. Overall, excellent. For desert we ordered the Panacatta (pictured) and the Affogato (pictured... i neglected to get the phone out to take a picture of them pouring the espresso...so my picture does not do it justice). The panacatta was light and a little sweet. Perfect to finish off the savory Braised Short Ribs, and the affogato was the perfect bitterness and creaminess to pair off the richness of mascarpone entree. I also love espresso... Over all, amazing experience and an excellent date night opportunity for those who are looking for authentic Italian cuisine.

For a wonderful fine dining experience, can I just tell you what a delightful lunch we had at Trattoria Bella on Palm Bay Rd??? When we walked inside we were immediately greeted by one of the owners, Julia. We were told we could sit wherever we were most comfortable. I felt like I'd stepped into a Trattoria in Florence (I actually lived in Florence so I can compare)... Everything was perfect! They brought us a carafe of chilled water and fresh bread with a scrumptious compound butter. We had wine and a Bellini and dined off of the Business Lunch Menu indulging in a lovely Cesar salad with the most delicious homemade dressing and Rigatoni Bolognese, finished off sharing a Tiramisu which was parallel to heaven in my mouth. An absolute delicious dining experience from beginning to end. They also can accommodate family style dining. Stop on by for a memorable dining experience. #TrattoriaBella #PalmBay #LocalOwnedBusiness #ItalianFood

My friend & I had dinner at Trattoria Bella's last night. WOW! The restaurant is quaint, the service is terrific, and the food...Ahh!...The food was absolutely fantastic! We started with a glass of Sangria, she had white & I had red, both fruity and very nice. We shared the Bruschetta Board which consists of 3 types, all wonderful. My friend had the Shrimp Pesto which was served over homemade cavatelli. I had the Branzino, a butterflied Sea Bass and served it with an Arugula Salad. Both were FABULOUS & both of us had to take food home along with each of us taking the best Tiramisu I've ever had! It was a great evening with my friend & WONDERFUL FOOD made from the best quality ingredients to create spectacular meals!

Excellent food. Excellent service. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was surprising and unexpected. Amazing flavors. The Sangria though was not so great.

It was all pretty good. About 5pm on a Saturday... We asked if they had an open table. They said they were fully booked but we can sit on the side of the building at the outside table. It was pretty empty, but one table of people were sat, as you can see in the pictures. By the time we left, there was still only one other table sat. I was excited to try this place so we took the outside table. Kind of annoyed they made us sit outside with a half a dozen tables open for the hour+ we were there. Anyway, Ordered a white Sangria. It was ok. No dehydrated citrus as the menu says. It tasted more like a white wine spritzer with a one slice of orange and one slice of lemon. They brought two slices of bread to us in an tin can. Unique presentation. We ordered mussels in lobster bisque. The mussels were a bit undercooked, the lobster bisque sauce was awesome. The fresh pappadella pasta was delicious! My carbonara dish was ok ... I have to say I was expecting a lot since I read the reviews. I think it was just too early for the dish. I watched from outside and they brought the pasta out and sat it in the cheese wheel for a few minutes. The server finally came back to it and I could see him stirring it around. (I am ouside so I had to watch from the window) Unfortunately it was not all that creamy. Maybe the wheel of cheese was not warm yet. Chunks of hard cheese and the dish was not hot. We'll try again another time. We always give a place a second chance. Specially if it is a new place. Fingers crossed. I am all for a good Italian restaurant! :)

Cute little family place with amazing food. Best I've ever had. Definitely would go here again. Someone is doing their Italian ancestors proud. Staff was super nice.

In Italy, restaurants are put into three categories. An ostería is a wine bar with limited food options. A ristorante is a nice upscale restaurant with a full wait staff, typically with a sommelier. A trattoria, however, is something in between. It's typically a family owned place with traditional local food from that region. Trattoria Bella is a great example of a trattoria! We had an excellent experience here. The staff was extremely friendly, and unlike the slow service in Italy, they were very attentive and quick. We ordered the braised shirt ribs, shrimp & pesto, and the truffle fries. Everything was very good, and the presentation was a notch above what you might be used to which was very fun. If you're into Italian wine, they had a great DOCG chianti (Chianti Reserva) for a pretty reasonable price. I would love to see them offer more beer options than Peroni. Italy is certainly not known for their beer, but we actually get quite a nice selection of Italian beers in Melbourne so some variety would do them good. Overall we really enjoyed our meal. My only criticism is that the food was a bit on the pricey side for what you get in my opinion. Still, I do think it was worth the experience and I would definitely recommend visiting.

First time in and we loved it. Our server was Abby, she was friendly and knowledgeable. The beet/goat cheese/arugula salad was light and flavorful. The Four cheese pasta is stirred in a pecorino cheese wheel before serving. It had a savory nuttiness from the cheese along with pisatchios sprinkled on top. Delightful. Most of all, the lasagna was the best we ever had. Add this place to your date night list. Cheers!

Lots of great pasta options available, and the portion size is good. Especially enjoyed the pasta served out of the cheese wheel! A nice date night restaurant tucked away in Palm Bay.

Absolutely wonderful authentic Italian food and hospitality!! We loved our meal. My husband had the special (prosciutto, speck, mascarpone and ricotta stuffed ravioli) and I got the baked rigatoni with Italian sausage and beef. For dessert we shared the limoncello cake. I also had the Bellinii cocktail. All were amazing!
