Restaurant Description

Bella Sera Italian Grill is a very reasonably priced, family owned and operated restaurant. Chef John Helbig and his wife Shari own the establishment. John has over 28 years of cooking and restaurant experience. John and Shari actually met in 1978 at this location when it was another establishment. John was the chef and Shari was the salad girl. Years later they are excited about returning and calling it their own.Bella Sera has something for everyone. Bella Sera offers an extensive diverse menu including salads, pizza, pastas, sandwiches, many entrees including chicken, steak and seafood. There are also several daily specials to choose from. We have the best toasted ravioli's in St. Louis! We also have wonderful house made desserts including hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries with Gold Brick chocolate - another St. Louis tradition.

Bella Sera specializes in banquets, parties, rehearsal dinners and catering. We have a spacious, separate beautiful banquet room available for large parties. John and Shari are committed to providing you with an awesome dining experience. We strive to deliver exceptional food and excellent service. We look forward to seeing you soon!Wishing you a "Bella Sera" Beautiful Evening!

Bella Sera was, without a doubt, one of the best casual restaurants we have ever been to. We ate here at least 3 times a month and NEVER had a bad meal. Unfortunately, they closed the restaurant at the end of July and had no immediate plans to open another one anytime soon. We sure miss them!

I too had an excellent experience at Bellas. You cannot underestimate the personal service and loyalty of a local family owner restaurant. Very refreshing. We will return. Try them. You'll love it

I like this place! I've been going there for years! They don't pretend to be anything but who they are.. A family owned restaurant from Northern Italy that serves good food. With the same family running it since the 50's.

Been there many times. The cuisine is ala Tuscana and is meticulously prepared and served. The Owner/chef is obviously fastidious about his ingredients and his preparation. My guests were from Manhattan and raved. The majority of the servers are exce ...

Brazie's is the best kept secret in St. Louis. Their stuffed tenderloin is the best of the best!

I take my family there for dinner all the time. The Pizza is great, not the usual type of pizza but with a crunch crust and provolone cheese. My wife likes the chicken parmesan, & my favorite is hill pizza.

Excellent Food!! One of my most pleaserable experiences. Service was outstanding, but dinner was even better. The red sauce is my all time favorite, the pasta is made fresh everyday. Nice selection of Wine's. An enjoyable place to eat.

My Sicilian family came to be with us for Christmas. They wanted to eat out at an Italian restaurant. Although I had never been there, I took to Bella Sera. They know good Italian food. They gave the restaurant high praise. The chef was German, but an acomplished Italian chef. The service was exceptional.
