I don't usually go for Italian but this place has got me hooked! I tell everyone about this restaurant now. The Chicken Pesto is magnificent and dipping the house bread in the sauce is perfection. Please do yourself a favor and come try this local diner if you haven't already.

This place is a gem in Leander. The location is perfect. The warm staff greets you with a smile, and once you're inside, you forget about all the fast-food places you see every day. It's like a trip to a small restaurant in Italy. And not to mention the delicious food! We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you

Came to Bella Sera Leander for the first time and it was amazing! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is cute, and the server was great. The fettuccini Alfredo is some of the best we have had, outside of Italy. Didn’t get a photo of it because we dug in too quickly lol. Great wine selection as well. We will definitely be back!

We’ve been regulars at the Bella Sera in Liberty Hill for a while now, and it never disappoints. The fresh, warm bread is always a highlight, and the fettuccine Alfredo is consistently delicious. They also offer a great wine selection that perfectly complements the meal. Cozy atmosphere, reliable service — a solid go-to for Italian comfort food.

I heard about this restaurant from several friends and coworkers, so I needed to check it out for myself. I was very impressed with the quality and flavor of the entrees. I ordered two different wines, two different entrees (one white sauce and the other red sauce), and two different desserts. Amazing!! I think what I like most about this place versus other Italian places I go to is that it’s a smaller venue which gives you instant and friendly service. The service definitely demonstrates how important it is for you to dine with them. I’ve traveled a lot on the east coast from Philadelphia to New York to New Jersey, and this place sits very high on my list. Stop by and enjoy, you won’t be disappointed.

Had a craving for some Italian and decided to try this place out. I am so glad I did! The customer service was awesome and the food tasted great! The environment was very welcoming and relaxing. The restrooms are very clean and service was quick. The food prices are a little above average however you receive a lot of food for the price. The bread tastes great with the oil dipping so be sure to ask for the oil sauce. Overall this was a great place to visit to have some Italian and recommend this place.

This restaurant by far has been one of if not the best Italian restaurant's to truly experience Authentic Italian Cuisine. The owners and workers are so very friendly and accommodating they treat and great you with a smile EVERY time. They not only care about the food there serving but they honestly care about every single customer that walks thru there door. We have been twice and is now one of our go to places for GREAT food, service and Atmosphere. Please go and see for your selves and you won't be disappointed!

Such a gem of a spot! 10/10 after my first visit. Food was really fantastic, portions were great and more than I thought they would be. The service was very nice and quick to take care of the table. Price was the nail in the coffin for the 5 stars and excellent review. Truly a fantastic spot. Seems to be family run and a very enjoyable experience.
