Our Story
A passion for authentic cuisine since 1985
Three Generations of Tradition
Bella Italia Restaurant was founded in 1985 by Marco Rossi, who brought authentic recipes from his grandmother's kitchen in Tuscany. What started as a small family restaurant has become a beloved institution in San Francisco.
Today, the restaurant is run by Marco's daughter Elena and grandson Alessandro, who continue to honor the traditions while incorporating modern techniques.
Every dish is prepared with the same love and attention to detail that Marco insisted upon over 35 years ago.
