Bellissimo Restaurant & Lounge

While the food was average Italian cuisine. Good, yet nothing amazing, the service made my experience sub par. I attended with 8 others, all who ordered wine and a meal. Yet our servers were rude and unavailable. I assume this was due to the fact we are university students and seem to be perceived as ‘bad tippers’ our waitress took an hour and 15 minutes with our food, and 30 minutes to get our bill. While the food was average I doubt I will return.

Delicious delicious food! Once you walk in you smell fragrant garlic. I loved the small restaurant feel to it and the service was great. Nice ambiance and not super fancy, but I wouldn’t be in torn jeans and sneakers to eat here. I gave it a 4 because the noise level was a bit much for me.

I had lunch there today.
I had a personal pizza with pepperoni and tomatoes and it was delicious! So much ooey gooey cheese. The sauce was nice and garlicy.
The staff was friendly.
I would go back if I was in that area again.

Went there with my wife and stepdaughter on a whim today. We were meeting her for lunch near her job, and Bellissimo’s seemed like the better choice of area fare. We were not disappointed.
Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, and when she asked if this was our first time, we said yes. She explained that everything was done to order and that most every component was from scratch, including the sausage. When she said that, my choice was obvious — Salsicce, with a Ceasar salad lead. My wife had the chicken club, and my stepdaughter had the same main as me.
The salad and bread came quickly, and though the mains were a little slow coming out — they were worth the wait. My wife loved her sandwich and yam fries, and the salsicce was wonderfully seasoned and with just the right spice kick. The best Italian sausage I have had in years.
The waitress had initially forgotten my soda and gave it to me for free… so all was forgiven. We will be making it a regular destination in the future.

I have been here a couple of times and the food and service have been consistently good. In a little strip mall and doesn’t look like much from the street but a lot of cozy tables. Tables are close together but you don’t feel crowded.

Tried this restaurant based on reviews. Not sure if was off night but our experiences wasn’t 5 star by any means. Hubbie had the fettuccini alfredo with caesar salad — he was not impressed. His pasta portion was small. I had the gnocchi boscailoa with house salad — I enjoyed both and my portion was larger than his??? We dined in the lounge — the bartender was obnoxious and crass, the wait service was inattentive and poor. We will not be returning.

Came for dinner here with local friends. Very nice ambiance, friendly staff, nice menu., We shared a bruschetta, and I had a Caesar salad with anchovies on the side. Didn’t see linguini with white clam sauce on the menu. I asked my server if it was available, and she said they would accommodate me. It was very good, with a nice chianti. My friend John had the Vitelo Parmigiana with spaghetti and Kim had the Pesce Asiago which they both liked very much. Reasonable prices, great wait staff, I definitely will return next time I am in town from Chicago. Thanks.

Very nice place to go and eat, food is perfectly cooked, very good price, I paid for 6 people to eat and it was less than 150 $ that was a 3 course meal each,
My recommendation is the pizza, dam it’s big and well, I managed on my own, but most won’t that’s for sure.
All I can say is enjoy all that go, I certainly did :)

I was craving italian food one day so my boyfriend and I wanted to try somewhere new. This place was nice and high rated so we tried it out. Waitress was distant and not overly attentive or friendly. Pasta was good but VERY VERY salty. Atmosphere was nice and drinks and food were good.

One of my favourite places in the city! My wife and I have been going for new year’s eve every year going back 4 years. The best caesar salad in the city if you love garlic.
You won’t regret the visit!

The sodium level for pastas on some days can be high but for the most part, I have to say their food is pretty good at the prices they are offering it at. It’s even better when you use their $ 5 off coupon (for take out orders over a minimum amount).
Their calamari ($ 11) is still fantastic! Tender calamari with a great aioli. I also love the pane fritto ($ 7), they are described as deep fried «fluffy pillows» of dough that’s tossed with garlic butter and parmesan. That stuff can’t be good for you but I love it! It’s like carb overload but the tangy tomato dipping sauce that comes with this appy really makes it!
My fav pasta dish is the «pasta carciofi» ($ 17) — orecchiete pasta with chicken, spinach, onions and artichoke hearts in a garlic and white wine sauce. I love any pasta with artichoke hearts and this has to be one of my favs. Great clean flavours — simple and delicious.
Bellissimo pizza ($ 20.95 for 15″) is topped with strips of prosciutto, mushroom, tomato, green pepper and basil pesto. Good flavour and it’s not greasy at all. I really liked the California pizza ($ 20.95 for 13″), it has seasoned chicken breast slices, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, garlic, red onions and cheddar cheese. Good flavour and the toppings really complemented each other.
There’s also a Monday night special — chicken parmesan with pasta marinara with side house or Caesar salad plus some garlic buns for $ 14.99. The chicken parm was on the salty side and the chicken was pounded really thin. Interestingly, the tomato sauce on the chicken had a bit of a kick to it so I’m not sure if they added too much pepper flakes in mine but I liked it! The pasta was cooked al dente and served with a good simple marinara. The Caesar salad is very garlicky (which I love) but you may not want to choose this if the person you’re dining with isn’t eating it as well.
Good overall place, moderate pricing and has something for everyone.

Great little Italian restaurant. One of my favorites. Service is always good, and food is delicious! The conchigle verdi is my personal favorite.
