Better than any Italian restaurant in the north end! I love a town away but drive by quite a few Italian restaurants to go here. The homemade papardelle is my favorite with the marscapone sauce. My husband enjoys the chicken combo. Dining room if very comfortable with live piano music on weekends. Everything is delicious and the service is always personal and top notch. It is our only takeout restaurant at this point. Support what you love or it goes away. Bella costa has us locked in!

Strong 4 stars. The restaurant reminded me of a classic 50s/60s/70s Massachusetts style Italian family restaurant. Veal parm and homemade pasta was wicked good. Over the course of the evening I had two waitresses and both were excellent! Enjoyable evening with enjoyable food.

I was on way for an Italian meal in Boston North end and when not in mood for Cronin Boston, parking impossible... then Bella Costa is. Better alternative.I stop in for a dinner and always nice dinner specials. The grilled romaine lettuce is excellent and the homemade dressing is like crack. The I could eat that everyday and not feel like a rabbit... Romaine always crisp and whatever is in dressing makes this a great appetizer. The veal dishes here are all excellent as veal cuts like butter and better than veal dishes I ate in the Boston North end. Pasta and all dishes are ample size and 2 meals . Fresh bread to start ... piano player ambiance Friday, Saturday nights. Excellent bar and service

This place has been here for about 30 Years. It's located in an unsuspecting mini strip mall type set up but when you go inside, you realize why it's been there for so long. The food is delicious. Fresh homemade pasta. Fresh dishes. Plentiful portions. Great salads. Amazing desserts that are mostly homemade. They specialize in fire drinks and desserts. Literally light stuff on fire. They also have a huge room for private parties on the side. The staff is exceptional and the owners are very nice people as well.

We went out as a family for Mother's Day here. Overall a good experience! A lot of families had a similar idea, so the place was pretty packed. The setup of the establishment is a bit odd, so getting around felt a tiny bit like an obstacle course - but not a huge deal. Everyone enjoyed their meals (kids got chicken parm, wife got seafood risotto, and I had chicken & veal Marsala). We also ordered some scallops as an appetizer (pictured). All in all it was a good experience. The amount of people in there caused the service to be a tad slow, but I don't really put that on them - they had a lot of people to handle. My wife and I plan on coming back here during a "non holiday" where the two of us can grab dinner alone :)
