" Visited Bellissimo for dinner recently and had a great time! The eggplant parmesan was excellent; I loved the layers of flavor. The bread served at the start was delightful and warm. Our server was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. For dessert, the tiramisu was a must-have—rich with coffee taste. I can’t stop thinking about my meal; I'm so happy I discovered this bistro! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bellissimo Bistro truly lives up to its name! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a friendly smile. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and they did not disappoint. The sauce was bursting with flavor, and the meatballs were tender and tasty. For dessert, we had cannoli that were crispy and filled with sweet cream just like my Italian grandmother used to make. I will definitely be back to enjoy more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely experience at Bellissimo. The food is high quality and tastes homemade, which is a big plus in my book. I particularly enjoyed their garlic bread paired with the marinara sauce— a great pairing! My main dish was the carbonara, which was rich and creamy. The dessert I had, the affogato, was the perfect end to the meal. I would definitely recommend this bistro for anyone looking for authentic Italian flair. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Bellissimo the other night and it was overall a good experience. The service was friendly, but we did experience long wait times for our food. The prices are reasonable for the hearty servings. I enjoyed the chicken pourfette with pasta, but it could've used a bit more seasoning to enhance the flavors. While I would return, I hope the wait times improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner here! The bruschetta was fantastic, with fresh tomatoes and basil. I sampled the fettuccine Alfredo, which was creamy and comforting, though I wished it had a bit more garlic. Service was excellent, and I enjoyed the cozy decor. Just be aware that the portion sizes are on the smaller side. Overall, a great experience, and I would love to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely family dinner here, and the experience was memorable. The authentic flavors captured my heart, especially the fresh seafood dishes. However, the wait for food could be significant during rush hours. The staff was friendly, but it took longer than expected to get our drinks initially. The dining area is charming, making it a great spot for get-togethers. Would love to experience it again during a quieter evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bellissimo has become my favorite Italian spot! I love their homemade pastas, especially the gnocchi special. The flavors explode in your mouth! Every time I visit, I get top-notch service, and the atmosphere feels so cozy—it’s like dining at a friend's! The only downside is that sometimes the wait is longer than expected. That being said, I always seem to go back for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
