I am a east coast transplant and I must say D'Anna's is the closest I've had to New York Italian since I have left there. I have been here several times and the food has been spot on everytime. The marinara is a light and simple one. (Not the thick and pasty style) The standards are great. (pasta, meatballs, sausage,... more

D'Anna's Cafe is now my favorite restaurant. They make homemade ravioli that is to die for. I've been a few times now (at least a half dozen visits) and have had the best experiences every time. I recommend keeping it simple and ordering ravioli or pasta (also handmade in the restaurant) with marinara sauce and maybe a sausage if you're... more

On our first visit to D'Anna's in April we were impressed with the friendly service, broad selection of choices on the lunch menu and great food. Last week we returned for lunch and were disappointed as the waitress was indifferent, did not check back to see if were satisfied with our food and did NOT thank us when we departed.... more

I have never written a restaurant review before because I figured as long as I knew not to come back to a mediocre restaurant, that was good enough. But after about a 3-month hiatus from going out to dinner, I had heard good things about this restaurant and really wanted to have a great dining experience. It was not--in fact,... more

First off, My restaurant does not serve our appetizers with the entree's. I spoke to the waiter who took this table. (Being that I have only one waiter) He remembered this table vividly. He explained that he took this tables order and they ordered their entree's first. After putting theorders in he came back around and they wanted to order...

I finally am able to get this off my chest. I took my son here for his birthday after hearing wonderful things. We were seated in the far corner, I am OK with that, there were only the two of us and it's a small restruarant. I have heard the food is good and he as well and wanted to... more

I contacted this customer and apologized for the bad experience that they had and even offered them a gift certificate to come back and give us another shot. They responded that this incident took place a few years back and that they should not hold a grudge . A lot has changed at D'Ann's since then. Being a restauranteer I...

Want a relaxing atmosphere - D'anna's is your place! This is the best italian for the best price in Bellingham. My husband failed to make reservations for valentines day and D'anna's was the only place NOT taking reservations - so, we managed to get a table and have a romantic dinner after all with good wine and scrumptious food. Also,... more

I've eaten here several times and have had enjoyable experiences. The food is good but not great - homemade pasta is rather thin and the sauce a little to watery and runny for my taste. My friends however loved it - so different folks have different tastes. Service is a little too casual - young wait staff not very professional... more

We have about ten varieties of fresh homemade pasta's. The linguini and pappardelle types are thin while the shells and fettuccine are of the thick variety. Your choice thin or thick. Our sauce is made from the best quality tomatoes from the Stanislaus region. We do not use tomatoe paste or any thickners, so again it is a matter of...

I am not a huge fan of Italian food, so when some friends dragged me here I was a little hesitant. OMG the chicken piccata was to die for...I actually daydream about it. It was the first time I've ever had it, and definitely not the last. I however did not enjoy the house salad or bread. I would have... more

D'Anna's is simply amazing. My husband and I live about 40 minutes south of Bellingham and don't hesitate to drive up there on the weekends for a meal. We've not tried anything that we didn't like. The portions are so generous that we always take leftovers home and eat them the next day for lunch. My personal favorites are the... more

We happened on this restaurant the other day when the cold and rainy day said “go find an Italian restaurant and relax” The menu showed promise and once again we crossed our fingers and hoped we wouldn’t be disappointed, as we have been so many times in Italian restaurants west of New York and New Jersey. With so many styles... more
