Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On street parking- but not a problem on Monday. Appreciate the military discount. Great waiter! Food tastes all homemade with large portions. Very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a return visit!

What a great place. We tried the seafood stuffed ravioli with lemon dill cream sauce. We were totally impressed with the taste and will definitely be back. Great food.

My cousin and I had a great lunch at Pasta Bella in Fredericksburg, Texas. We were in town for a doctor’s appointment and ate lunch afterward before heading home. It was crowded during the lunch run but the wait was only about 15 minutes. The...smell inside the restaurant along with the menu made it so difficult to choose my meal. There were so many things that looked delicious. I finally settled on the penne pasta with a creamy white rosemary sauce and 5 tasty meatballs. The anticipation built as I bit into the delicious bread provided dipped into the tasty oil and ate the crispy house salad with ranch. Be careful, don’t eat too much bread or you won’t have room for your meal. My meal was the absolute best. The flavor combined with the smell in the restaurant took it to another level. The creamy white sauce flavored with rosemary and parm cheese, the perfectly cooked pasta and the tasty meatballs were delicious! There are many excellent restaurants in Fredericksburg but my new fav is Pasta Bello!More

Our go to for Italian food in the Hill Country. We drive from Kerrville almost monthly for this delicious food. The catfish is a game changer in the lemon dill sauce. Wait staff and service are great. Don’t go through this area without stopping here.

In Fredericksburg for 10th anniversary and we were in the mood for Italian. Very happy we chose Pasta Bella. Felt like a neighborhood Italian joint, as the wait staff was incredibly welcoming. We got seated right away, served right away, and were well taken care...of, as if we were family. We got the pesto bread for an appetizer that was amazing! My wife got a cheese ravioli, and I got the seafood ravioli. Wow! Both were amazing! Amazing!! The lemon dill sauce on the seafood ravioli was the star of the night! When we do go down to Fredericksburg again (from OKC), it will be because Pssta Bella! 🤌More

Delicious food, large portions, good prices and really great service for as crowded as what they were. I highly recommend it. We got there at 5:25, and they filled up shortly after that.

Were in town for a brief getaway and found this place while looking for a parking spot. We were seated promptly in the much quieter back room at the hosts suggestion, Only 4 tables back there. Server (Kevin) was prompt and explained the options. We...both opted for the # 3 with a glass of wine to be shared. Food and wine came out promptly. Pasta was well cooked and very tasty. Took some back to the room for lunch. It was even good reheated. Price was comparable to a meal at restaurant not in a tourist area. Would return here next time we're in town.More

Our group of 4 absolutely loved our experience! 2 in our group were gluten-free, and all of us loved our dishes! We stopped by around 7pm on a busy Friday night. The hostess kindly took our names and said come back in 30 minutes. After...a walk around fabulous downtown with great weather, we came back and were promptly seated. We started off right with delicious calamari & bruschetta. Shrimp Bella Scampi was light and full of flavor. The NEW Pasta Di La Sera did not disappoint: rich, lemon-basil cream, shrimp and more...OUTSTANDING! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.More

Started with a good glass of wine that was the daily special. Followed by delicious bread with a yummy olive oil for dipping. Fresh salad with cranberries and feta was very tasty. Lastly, the bow tie pasta with the tomato cream sauce was wonderful. Friendly,...conscientious waiter. Loved every minute!More

The pasta was absolutely impeccable. It was to die for. You just have to know what to order! My friends and I went. There were five of us total. We all loved it. We went twice on our trip because we liked it so much!...The first time the waiter was sub par. However, the second time, the waiter made up for the first one! Great food and a great time.More

A wonderful little Italian restaurant. It opens at 5:30pm for dinner. People were lining up 20-25 minutes before it opened. Within 7-8 minutes the place was full to capacity. Wonderful homemade Italian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. They have the options with each entrée large...or small which is a great thing for light eaters. Definitely worth the wait to get a table. We highly recommend this restaurant.More

Very crowded and loud restaurant. The tables are super close together, there are storage shelves in the dining room and the bathroom is directly off the dining room as well. It was super unnerving feeling that if the lock on the bathroom door failed and...someone opened it that the whole dining room would have gotten a show they didn’t sign up for. The food was mediocre as was the service.More

They do not take reservations. The dining room is not big, so 25 would be tough. I would recommend renting out their banquet room instead. Although there were a few kids options, I think they were still Italian (kids... More
