Bella Sera Trattoria 422 South Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016

"Went for dinner last night. Food was delicious. Service was as well. We saw a table of miserable people complaining about everything and felt so bad for the server that we tipped her extra. Do better people. If you’re already miserable before you walk through the door, then just keep in walking"

"Short rib pizza was decent. Ordered a Sicilian Sunrise but there was no mint and it tasted like grapefruit juice instead of pineapple. Service was great!"

"Hands down the best Trattoria in Monrovia!! Ordered some type of holiday apple martini and a Pear Ginger Snap specialty drinks, which are seasonal. They were tasty. Thank you to Sarah, who's the master mind of the drinks. We ordered the carbonara, shrimp alfredo, and also prime rib steak medium rare. My plate came with garlic mash potatoes covered with portobello mushrooms. My eyes rolled to the back of my head when I tasted that combo. I heard locals talking saying that everything they've ordered off this menu has never been disappointed. So next time I come, I will be ordering the cioppino as well as the bacon wrapped dates."

"This place is great! The staff are lovely but the food is very good too. We've eaten here twice and not only does it have flavor, it's fresh and very well portioned. I highly recommend trying this place! The pizza was a little disappointing as vegetables were simply piled on...that's not a "pizza". Only other small recommendation, freshen and brighten the interior a bit."

""When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore..".Yes, I love this place! We arrived around 6:30pm and were able to sit out back on the patio. Loved the fountain and trees hovering over us. Stephanie was our server. She has been there for 2 years and was very attentive and helpful with our menu choices. My friend and I ordered the pomegranate martini which was okay. Took a while to feel the "Tito's!" Lol. My daughter & I shared Penne Vodka & the Serra Pizza. Both excellent but "lukewarm:(" If they were piping hot this review would be "5" stars. My friend's Chicken Piccata was beautiful and served hot! Definitely going back for a 5 star night. Loved the ambience, service was amazing, super friendly and the decor was appealing. *Reservations CAN NOT be made for same day service. *Ravioli is NO Longer on the menu *Great for large groups *Children are welcomed *Back Patio can accommodate large parties *Plenty of street parking"
