Bella Notte - Brattleboro

I am sorry to have to write this review, but it should benefit future patrons. I read a review from one month ago saying that they spent most of their dining time by swatting flies off their food. My wife and I thought it may have been a one time occurrence so, we decided to give it a chance because the last time we were there we had no issues and enjoyed the food. We dined outside and to our dismay, the flies were a problem. Very disappointing! Their food is above average. If there is a next time, we will dine inside. The management knew of the issue but offered no solution.

This is such a hidden treasure, food is excellent, waitstaff and host Karen are wonderful people. I would highly recommend!

We were in town for a family reunion and after reading reviews and considering the food requirements of our party we settled on Bella Notte as our restaurant choice. I called to let them know we'd be coming in and our table was ready and set when we arrived. There had been a tournament on the golf course that ended shortly before we got there so several parties were seated in the outdoor area. While the view was beautiful I was glad we sat inside in the dining room. It was simply decorated which allowed the surrounding greenery visible through tall windows to be the focal point. The building is quite old 1850-ish? with a historical feel I spotted shaker cabinetry upstairs . The food was delicious. We ordered garlic bread with cheese, shrimp cocktail, chicken piccata, chicken francaise, spaghetti with tomato and pesto, a burger, and chicken parmigiana. For the picky children they made a special order of bread coated with olive oil and spices, and buttered penne. They don't have a kids menu but were completely accommodating when we reasonable requests. The service was so good we even stayed for dessert! We ordered lemon cake, tiramisu, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate mousse. There's a ramp making it handicap accessible. Lots of parking for cars golf carts! . Come eat here! You will be happy you did.

This restaurant is filled with flies. It was hard to enjoy the food because we were constantly swatting away flies from our table. We killed about 10 of them during our short time there.

Outstanding hidden gem restaurant. Service was very attentive and food was even better. Stuffed mushrooms were a great way to start the dinner. Great cocktails/wine list and the entrees were top notch. I got the standard spaghetti and meatballs and it was some of the best I've had. Highly recommend this restaurant!
