Bella Tori at the Mansion

Loved driving up to the mansion. Beautiful décor inside. We ordered the Calamari, which was very nice and fresh. The second appetizer was the Ploughmans board, which consisted of cheeses and meats. That was very tasty too. Then it came time for the main courses. There were six of us and no was was really happy with their entrees. Two orders of the Scallop entrée were served cold. They took them back and when they returned the plates to us, they were warm, but the food was still not hot. Not happy with that and they didn’t really taste good. We also ordered the salmon, the chicken sorentino, chicken pecan and the Ravioli. None of the entrees were very hot and probably would not order it again. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

My wife and I had reservations for a Saturday night in April. After reading some reviews about the restaurant, we were skeptical about the place. They have a good history serving Sunday brunch, but dinners were not so well received. However, I am here to change that misconception. Dinner was great. Food was served in a timely manner and both our entries were outstanding. The waiter was terrific and even the GM stopped by our table to check on us. We don’t usually have dessert, but the gelato was a nice way to cap the evening. The place is a hidden secret, but worth the try.

My wife an I attended their Easter brunch, this was also our first time here as well. The food was absolutely amazing for brunch. The wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with the amount of guests but it was packed. I would love to come back and have dinner here one night. It was also very cool to learn the history of the building and of the restaurant.

We did a surprise and intimate «bridal» brunch at Bella Tori’s this past Sunday. Making reservations was relatively easy and the price for a brunch buffet was great. There were two other large bridal showers going on and that was a bit hectic for when we actually wanted to partake in the buffet. The cold food and salad options were very tasty. The hot buffet with breakfast foods was ok. The highlight for me was the bacon and sausage. The french toast was fried very hard and reminiscent of BK french toast sticks. I wasn’t a big fan of them. Our waiter Tom was great! He was attentive and accommodating. Overall, if you are in the area and want a quaint brunch at a reasonable price. I would give them a try. It is a small venue so I am not if walk in’s would be accepted.

While the setting is lovely, the food was lackluster – undertaked rolls, goat cheese in the salad was tiny pieces the size of breadcrumb – and the waiter took away a half plate of lobster ravioli to be packaged up, then came back apologizing that my food had been thrown out. The options he offered was to sit and wait for a new one to be made or a free dessert to go. The ravioli wasn’t that good, the lobster salty, sauce was flabby with flour or cream and bland, so we took the dessert. No manager said a word. Best part of the evening experience was the lovely music, guitar, the surroundings, and most of all, my sweet husband taking me out on Valentines Day.

Came here with a group of 25 for a birthday dinner. Food was served buffet style, and was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We also enjoyed a selection of wines — I highly recommend the Carmenere. It was a lovely setting for our celebration!

Attended our first brunch at the Mansion today .it will certainly NOT be the last. Excellent brunch soooo many choices
. Brought 22 others with me… Absolutely LOVED IT.

We loved our visit to Bella Tori. The food was delicious, especially my appetizer– fried green tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella over arugula, delicious! The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Perfect date night.

Very disappointed about the Thanksgiving buffet — maybe it was because we were there near the end (although we did have a reservation). 10 of us in the party. A few problems: 1) They ran out of Turkey! 2) Not a great selection 3) The food line layout was all wrong — no reason to have to wait 15 minutes in line at a small restaurant 4) One of the 2 waiters had attitude.
Friends said the place is great, so I may give it another chance for dinner, but I won’t try it for a family holiday again.

My beau told me around noon, this past Saturday 12/​27, to pick any place, he wanted to take me to dinner. So, like the good girlfriend I am, I researched on help and stumbled upon this pretty place. We arrived at 6:30 and were asked for the reservation name (eek!). We explained that we were unaware we needed one. Lucky for us, somehow, there was one table for 2 open. The ambiance was warm, inviting and romantic. We were seated by the window. While the dining room was small, the tables were adequately spaced and private.
We started with an order of calamari, which was delicious! Light and crispy, a touch of Parmesan cheese. Yum! My beau had Filet which was on special, topped with lump crab and melted Swiss cheese. It came with a baked potato and string beans. No options were presented, but later, I overheard someone substitute mashed, which he would have preferred. Steak was cooked to specs (medium). I ordered the Veal Osso Bucco. While the veal was delicious and tender, the «risotto» it was served over was really sticky bland rice. And the vegetables were undercooked, hard carrots, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and felt the prices were reasonable. The restaurant is beautiful. Our waiter was a little slow but did not ignore us. We’ll definitely give it another try!

We had our grandparents’ 50^th wedding anniversary here and it was wonderful! The staff are amazing and the building is gorgeous. This would be a fabulous place for a spring time wedding or maybe even a graduation party!

I went here for my sister’s baby shower. REVIEWER BEWARE: We requested to be on the second level. Although I am NOT a fan of buffet style (I honestly don’t prefer them as I feel food gets cold fairly quickly). Our chicken entrée, vegetables, and sides were hot and delicious even taking them upstairs (the buffet was on the first floor). The staff although they were busy were very attentive. The desserts were beautiful. I honesty expected a generic bakery dessert option but it was a beautiful display, especially the petit fours were very impressive. The staff is professional, both in attire and actions, attentive, and the grounds are beautiful. We are now actually considering Bella Tori for our wedding dinner.

Ate here awhile ago and I remember it to be pretty premium. The Italian food here is definitely better than most out there and it’s worth a try to check out for yourself.

Have visited the mansion a few times for brunch, on holiday’s, once for a birthday brunch and again at a wedding.
Never disappointed, great food, drinks and atmosphere with professional servers.
Try it for one of the brunch specials. i.e.: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter…

It was nice. Although the age range is far above my 34years and I most likely will not go back, it was a good groupon deal.
We did wait a good 15 minutes for the waiter to even take our drink order, but my pear salad was very good. I am not sure if he was busy or waiting for us to leave and realize we were the youngest couple in there.
Also, I do not recommend the short ribs. The crab cakes and the crusted chicken were very good. They also have an extensive drink menu. And over all it is very warm and relaxing with the sound of a soft yet live musician.
Hope this helps

Had Friday night dinner with another couple — another very nice evening at the Bella Tori. Service is always friendly and food is excellent. As usual, there was enough left over for lunch at home the next day.
Friday is BYOB night, and coupons are always available at
. Friday night also features their wonderful classical guitarist, Bob Schulze, who is a pleasure to listen to.

We went here for their Sunday brunch buffet. They had four or five lunch type dishes like steamed muscles, salmon, chicken a la king, and pasta. The salmon and muscles were really good, not overcooked.
They also served typical breakfast food like eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. The two things that stood out to me were the eggs bella which was a poached egg with hollandaise sauce on top of Canadian bacon and hash browns, and the cheese blintz. Yum!
I didn’t try a lot of the cold salads and desserts or the omelet bar. It’s a beautiful mansion with a lot of seating. The buffet section is a bit cramped but luckily they weren’t too busy.
Overall the food was good but I wasn’t blown away especially for the price. I’ve been to Na Brasa in Horsham and that definitely has more bang for your buck.

The atmosphere is pleasant and the food was really, really good! I wouldn’t feel comfortable paying the prices for dinner, but they have a weekend brunch menu that was worth the price! And it wasn’t overly crowded, so you get the attention you might expect for the location.
The new ownership has remodeled/​renovated the building very well… that alone is worth the cost, but the food is delightful too!
It’s a great destination for a nice high end meal.

I visited Bella Tori for the first time this past Saturday evening to celebrate my step-mother’s birthday. My dad invited us earlier that day, so had to call and revise his reservation from 3 to 5, which was no problem.
Bella Tori is beautiful. The mansion is spectacular, the grounds well kept, and interior well furnished and pleasant.
Our seating and service was prompt. We had a great waiter (though unfortunately I can’t recall his name).
The bread basket that comes out is very nice. It’s got an assortment of breads, including delicious olive bread buns. There’s no butter, but you can drizzle olive oil on the bread/​on your plate to dip in, and I enjoy that so much more.
To the food: we ordered the Calamari appetizer. It was nothing special. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse; my step-​mother complained that some pieces were very chewy, but some pieces were absolutely perfect.
I had the French Onion soup. It was delicious! Gobs of melty cheese that stretched to infinity and a savory, flavorful broth full of thoroughly cooked down sweet onions. My husband was happy with his Caesar salad (being a «true» Caesar, anchovy on top and all).
For my entrée, I had the Filetto (filet mignon). I requested it be cooked medium. It was overdone. The demi-​glacé on it was quite tasty though. My step-​mother ordered the duck, which also arrived overdone. Incredibly, my husband’s scallops (which are notoriously easy to overcook) were perfect; fresh, soft, melty, and delicious.
We all indulged in dessert. I had the Semifreddo Dulce de Leche, and it was the most unbelievable part of my meal. Everything about it was heavenly! My husband had the chocolate cheesecake; it wasn’t overly sweet and was perfectly creamy.
Overall, they could do a little better. I’ve had perfectly cooked filet at a small-​town nothing-​special place that was a million times more satisfying than the filet I got here. But the ambiance and overall impression of someplace special really radiates from your surroundings. I would consider going back for another try.

I was here yesterday for a baby shower and absolutely love this place. I give it 5 stars across the board for food quality, service and décor/​ambiance. The brunch spread was attractive and delicious. There was a nice selection of salads, hot entrees (including eggs benedict, frosted flake French toast, potatoes, sausage, bacon, cheese filled blintz among other things) and desserts. The frosted flake French toast and cheese filled blintzes were amazing. My hardest decision of the day was choosing a dessert at the dessert station between the cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake, lemon things, mini cakes and cookies– luckily I had a bunch of friends who would split these with me and I got to try a little of everything and all was delicious.
Service was top notch and drinks were brought promptly. Servers refilled water and coffee throughout the shower.
The mansion is absolutely gorgeous. I love the stairwells, mirrors and chandeliers in this place. Our shower was on the second floor and was the perfect space for a bridal or baby shower. The fireplaces and molding are very attractive. There is also a patio that is open for outside seating when the weather is nice. The place was very clean and you can tell the owners take pride in this establishment. I also love the neighborhood as this is situated in a beautiful residential road with nice single homes and well landscaped lawns.
