    We were a party of 6 and I was the only one who had previously been to Bellisimos. Everyone loved it and although we all live in Haymarket, we do hope to return!! Everything was plated beautifully and was delicious!! Be sure to try the sausage and polenta appetizer-outstanding!!

    An enjoyable Saturday evening at Bellissimo. Although almost full, it was still a pleasant, quiet dining experience. I highly recommend the Mozzarella and tomato tower as an appetizer. We have been to this restaurant many times, but it was my first time trying this particular dish. It was presented beautifully, and it was very flavorful. I also ordered the Scampi Bellissimo. I have found my new favorite dish there, and will be back for the Scampi Bellissimo again soon! My husband ordered the Veal Scallopini and said it was prepared to perfection. He has tried each of their veal dishes over time and he says each one is excellent. A very satisfying and enjoyable visit, as usual!

    We went there for restaurant week and we are vegetarian. The menu selection looked good, first and third courses were amazing but the main course of Gnocchi and Agnolotti tasted a little too heavy, loaded with heavy cream. The ambience and service were great. Nice little place and local business to support.

    The soup broccoli soup was excellent. The lobster ravioli was very disappointing. It did not taste like lobster ravioli and it wasn’t lobster based sauce it was cream sauce. I will not return. The Prosecco was too sweet. Very disappointing meal.

    The service was outstanding. I felt obligated to tip well. I always wanted to visit the restaurant and finally received the opportunity to do so. The appetizers we selected (calamari, smoked salmon) were great, the lamb shanks were excellently cooked, and the desert did not disappoint.
