Bella Italia
Authentic Northern Italian cuisine, lovingly crafted
Food is not just eating energy. It’s an experience that should be savored, shared, and remembered long after the last bite.
— Marco Rossi, Founder
Our Story
A Family Tradition
Since 1995
It began with a grandmother’s recipe book and an unwavering belief that food should feel like home. Marco Rossi brought his family’s Northern Italian traditions to San Francisco, and Bella Italia was born.
Every dish on our menu traces its roots to a specific region of Italy. Our pasta is hand-rolled each morning. Our ragù simmers for six hours. Our tiramisu is made with Marsala imported from Sicily.
We have never taken a shortcut. We never will.

The Reasons Guests Return
Three dishes that define everything we stand for
Signature Pasta
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
The dish that built our reputation. Hand-rolled spaghetti, aged guanciale crisped in its own fat, a silky emulsion of farm egg yolks and Pecorino Romano. No cream. Ever. Finished tableside with a turn of the pepper mill.
$22
Signature Main
Osso Buco alla Milanese
A weekend tradition since day one. Veal shank braised for four hours in white wine, tomatoes, and gremolata until the meat surrenders from the bone. Served alongside a saffron risotto that has never been rushed.
$42
Signature Dessert
Tiramisù della Casa
Marco’s grandmother wrote this recipe in 1962. Savoiardi biscuits soaked in double espresso and Marsala wine from Sicily, layered with hand-whipped mascarpone, dusted with Valrhona cocoa. Unchanged for 29 years.
