If you can't go to Italy for your wedding, this is the next best thing. Bella Sera Pittsburgh is a venue built like a Tuscan Villa. The decor is beautiful and the food is out of this world. The owner, Jason, and the wedding coordinator, Michelle, were fabulous to work with and paid attention to each and every detail. The Chef, Adam, did an outstanding job of presenting our guests with an Italian Feast! The value is a little on the pricy side, but for the service were received, and the ambienance that the venue presents, it was truly a "Bella Sera"! (Bella Sera means Beautiful Evening in Italian)

Our wedding was beautiful and we owe so much of it to the beautiful venue Bella Sera. Michelle was great in helping us with the details, and she didn't miss a beat the day of!! the food was amazing, our guests & dj were all raving about how it was the best wedding dish they've ever had! (Chicken Romano & Beef Trattoria) Bella Sera is a little pricey on Saturdays, but we got married on a Sunday which actually made it 11,000 cheaper !! a HUGE difference.I'd get married there again in a heartbeat :)

I would highly recommend Bella Sera to any bride or groom looking for a place to have their ceremony and/or reception. The staff especially Jacky Fife and Michelle Houston were extremely helpful before, during and after our wedding. The place was set up so georgeous for our wedding, it helped to make our wedding so special and magical. I felt like I was living a fairy tale. My husband and I fell in love with Bella Sera from the moment we saw the website and especially from the moment we walked in there! I cannot say enough about the staff and how wonderfully they treated us and our guests!The food was top quality and delicious! Our guests one month after the wedding are still raving about the food and Bella Sera itself. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Bella Sera and the food choices we picked for that and the wedding were wonderful!

We couldn't have picked a better place to have our reception. Coming from 2 Italian families this was the atmosphere we were going for! The decor, food, and service were 5 star and they made everything so easy to plan! I did not have to worry about a single thing but to have a great time on my wedding day! I haven't heard of a single bad thing from any of our guests! Everyone loved the food and loved the venue! It is really something different and classy for the Pittsburgh area. You may pay a bit more but the price is worth not having any frustrations during your plannin!

Bella Sera made our wedding perfect. It is a little expensive but I feel the money is well worth the final product. Nick, the main coordinator was amazing. I planned my wedding from out of town and Bella Sera was extremely accomodating. I literally dropped stuff off the night before the wedding and they still made everything perfect. My guests were so impressed with how beautiful it was inside. We had stations instead of a sit down dinner and it was perfect. The food was delicious and nobody had to wait in long lines.

This hall is amazingly beautiful. The food and alcohol were amazing. The main downside was after we spent a little more then 20000 dollars there they hardly had enough people to serve food and clear dishes. It made dinner take over 2 hours which I thought was incredibly long. There were little things here and there that I thought were a little too expensive, but thats the wedding business I guess. Over all the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time.

Bella Sera is absolutely amazing. The venue is gorgeous and getting better by the day. The food is incredible, really 5 star quality. And the management and staff are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Everything turned out absolutely amazing, and I am still getting rave reviews from all my guests and people who weren't even there and only saw the pictures. Would 100% recommend this place to any bride looking for something a little non traditional and completly classy and sophisticated.

I cannot say enough about this venue. The entire staff works to make your event perfect. The owner, Jason, is a chef and has been the number one caterer in the South Hills area for years. When he decided to custom design a venue he literally thought of everything. The place is gorgeous. From the blue cloud sky painted in the lobby to the floor to ceiling stone fireplace (where I held my wedding ceremony) this place is extraordinary. We had custom action food stations in place of the traditional sit down dinner that were the talk of the evening. The food is unbelievable. Our number one priority was food and our guests knew it. We received so many compliments from the beauty and uniqueness of the venue to the scrumptious cuisine to ultra professional staff. Their in house event planner, Nick Borelli, is worth his weight in gold. There is no need to hire a wedding planner because this guy does it all. If you want the perfect, elegant wedding... look no further.

While our wedding ended up being completely lovely, we had more problems with this vendor than one could possibly fathom. You have to stay on top of them at all times, and even still be prepared to pay top dollar.
