Bella Piatti - Birmingham

This restaurant is fantastic, but the wait time is absolutely ridiculous—you may find yourself waiting for hours, and that’s no exaggeration! Once people come here to dine, they tend to stick around and don’t leave easily!

Love this place!! Everything is delicious no matter what you order..staff is wonderful and friendly..you feel like family.

This is the best meal I have had in a very long time and possibly ever! Our waiter was Carl (or maybe spelled Karl), he was so knowledgeable about the food and so incredibly helpful and thoughtful from beginning to end, it really made the experience for us. The food was incredible, well thought out, well composed, balanced, and just all around great delicious food! We had the Cured Shaved Waygu beef served carpaccio style, awesome! The cabbage and Italian broth based soup was balanced and perfect. The Garganella alla umbra was amazing! We aren’t huge truffle oil fans, but it was so well balanced it enhanced the dish! The scallopini Saltimbocca was out of this world. We finished with Tiramisu and affogato to end the meal, and it was the perfect ending. For the service, atmosphere, and food quality, the prices were more than reasonable! Our new favorite restaurant and we cannot wait to return and try some new items.

Bella Piatti lived up to all of my expectations. The food was great, especially the tiger shrimp and mushroom sauce dish.. that sauce will have you coming back again just in it self. Our server Carl was a gem! You could tell he loved his profession and was extremely helpful and passionate when it came to deciding what to order. I had asked for a vodka soda with added lime juice, and he brought it to me but had forgotten the lime juice. I didn't say anything because I could tell he was very busy. About 5 minutes later, Carl came back with a side cup of lime juice. Even though he didn't remember at first, It was so sweet of him to come back and bring it in its own little cup. We will be back.

Bella Piatti offers an exceptional overall experience. The food is fresh, the service is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is delightful. It's definitely a go-to spot when you're not in the mood to cook at home. I don't often declare something the best, but the veal shank I enjoyed at Bella was truly the finest I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant!
