Reviews for Ristorante Bella Roma in Helena, MT
Honestly some of the best food and wines I've ever tasted. Our server Lucas was very attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. We will... definitely be back and highly recommend. Read more
Fantastic 4 course meal option. I also really appreciated the vegetarian options on the menu. All the ingredients seemed fresh... and well prepared. On the expensive side, but it is a super high quality dining experience. Read more
We ate at BR last evening, reservations at 6:30. We ordered nice wine, which they did not have, but their substitution was very... good. Each of the 4 of us ordered an app to share, a salad and an entree. They were understaffed. While our server was charming,she was constantly apologizing about the slowness of serving our wine and food courses. Apps were really good. Salads were okay.But the entrees were not good. Mushy pasta, overly sauced, or dry. Flavor okay. We suggested mentioning it to the chef, but ourserver was obviously intimidated by him. Instead she comped us a bottle of wine?which was great of her, but she wasn?tresponsible for the food. Hope this was just a bad night in the kitchen, because eating on the patio on a beautiful summer nightshould have been a lovely experience. We left at 9:30, right after finishing our entrees. 3 hours! Read more
I've decided that this is the only place in town that I will go to eat out. I order the steak and it was great. The bartender... and staff are knowledgeable and friendly. This place doesn't compare to the trash food, drinks and service in Helena. They haveactual chefs and bartenders who take pride in what they do. The drinks are fantastic. Spend the money it's worth it. So sick ofunexperienced rude waiters and bartenders around town. This place is the exact opposite beyond competent and attentive. Read more
It's my first time here and I'm impressed! It's like being in Rome, with its ambience. Our server was awesome ! I wished I... remember his name...he was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable with food served. The seafood ravioli was exceptionally awesomeand delicious. Kudos to our Chef and all the Staff. Thank you? Read more
For the first time my wife and I experienced the Italian ristorante Bella Roma, this last Valentine?s Day. We had searched hard... for a place to go for a great steak, and the local steakhouses didn?t have great reviews, so we opted for Bella Roma, and chosethe 4 course meal for two! It was in the building of a hotel, which was a little weird for such a fancy place, but I guess thatdoesn?t matter. It stared with coffees and super soft focaccia bread with olive oil and vinegar to dip in. Very good! I lovedthat. Then our first of 4 courses was an appetizer. Mine was a fancy salad and cheese with thin raw filet minion slices. I hadto think twice about the raw meat but decided to go for it. (I?m not versed in fancy food and couldn?t rename those fancy foodnames if my life depended on it). It was very good though! My wife had some tomato soup type thing with breadsticks. For thesecond course we both had salad. Hers was spinach with walnuts and blue cheese, and mine was Ceasers and came with a whole headof romaine lettuce still together! I?d never seen that before. It was okay but was my least favorite part of the meal. Thethird course, was of course the steak and potatoes. I got the 16oz ribeye medium rare, and my wife got the 8oz filet mediumrare. Hers was more medium and mine was more rare, and it was very soft and buttery, although I would have opted for a bit morecooked, but it was still delicious. The potatoes were very good too. I was approaching critical fullness and couldn?t finish thesteak if I wanted to save room for the dessert. For desert both my wife and I had the cannolis. They were very good and it tookus about 30 minutes to stuff them in our tummies. I recommend the cannolis. The service was also very good, we couldn?t taketwo sips from our water before they were there refilling the glasses. They were very attentive and our waiter was verynice. This place was not cheap though! This dinner ended up being the most expensive dinner my wife Read more
Great place to eat in Helena! Had the 4 course dinner which was well worth it! Everything was amazing. My boyfriend and mom had... the rib eye which they both loved. The filet mignon had a lot of pepper that I had to scrape off because it was difficult toeat. The desserts were great and so was the service. Read more
I?m just in Helena for a couple of weeks and let me tell you from someone born and raised in Italy, this is where you need to go... for authentic Italian food. The owners are extremely nice and welcoming, just like the staff! The food is prepared just like theone I would find back home, and the ingredients are extremely fresh. I ordered a caprese to start, the balsamic vinegar and oilwere extremely tasty and so was the side of focaccia. For a main course, I decided to go with Ravioli Al tartufo, you couldtaste the flavor of the truffle in the white sauce. The ravioli were filled with 5 cheese mixure and topped with Parmigianoreggiano. To end my meal, I ordered tiramisu (tasted just like the one my parents make) and a caffè lungo Read more
