Our story

Three generations, one small kitchen

Bella Notte started in 1998, when Antonio and Rosa Marchetti turned a former bakery on Harbor Lane into a twelve-table trattoria. Rosa's recipes came with her from Naples in a handwritten notebook; Antonio built the wood-fired oven by hand, brick by brick.

Today their daughter Lucia runs the kitchen, but not much else has changed. The pasta is still rolled every morning. The sauce still goes on before lunch. And regulars still get greeted by name at the door.

“Feed people like family, and they'll keep coming home.” — Rosa Marchetti

Word of mouth

What the neighborhood says

★★★★★

“The fettuccine tastes like my grandmother's — and I don't say that lightly. We drive in from Rye every other Friday and it has never once disappointed.”

Maria D. Rye, NY

★★★★★

“Booked the back room for my parents' 40th anniversary. Lucia planned the whole menu with us, and the staff treated our family like their own.”

James & Priya K. Port Chester, NY

★★★★★

“Best Margherita outside of Naples, full stop. Blistered crust, sauce with actual life in it. Get the tiramisu even if you think you're full.”

Anthony R. Greenwich, CT
