Bella Trattoria is a family-run Italian restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn, serving handmade pasta, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, and a curated list of regional Italian wines. Marco and Sofia Rinaldi opened the dining room in 2014 after a decade cooking in Bologna and Naples, and every sauce, dough and tiramisu is still made in-house each morning. The room seats 48 inside and 22 on the sidewalk patio from April through October, with weekday lunch service for the brownstone crowd and a four-course tasting menu on Wednesday nights. Walk-ins are welcome at the bar; reservations are recommended on Friday and Saturday. Private dining for up to 30 is available in the back room for birthdays, rehearsal dinners and small corporate gatherings.
