This place is really neat inside (lots to look at) and the food is solid! Great wine selection and their desserts are awesome! Service staff were friendly and did an awesome job. Their table bread was kind of disappointing and dry, and the appetizers were decent but the main courses (we got pasta) were excellent. The prices were extremely reasonable especially in this day and age, and the value of the food is there. We will go back and try more!

I’ve been here multiple times and I’ve never had a bad experience. This place makes a great date night for couples. The restaurant is well decorated, and the atmosphere is very pleasing. The food quality could be slightly better, but overall, I would say it’s four out of five stars. The food is definitely a little pricier for what it is, but I’ve never felt like I haven’t gotten everything I paid for. Also to be noted, this is not classic Italian food but rather several Well made dishes prepared in an Italian fashion with their own personal twist on things.

Excellent meal with too many delicious options to choose from. We visited to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary and they accommodated us well. We hope to be back and try more! I ordered the Rigatoni with herbed goat cheese and it did not disappoint.
My only complaint was being seated at such a long table for our party of 11; it was hard to communicate with those on the other end of the table.

My favorite place in St. Joseph. I would drive miles whenever I’m close to this area to eat here.

Thought we would try a steak-save your money. Ordered a Tenderloin and had to send back very grizzly-disappointed. Replaced with the blackened ribeye, sent that back too – bizarre after taste and my mouth tingled. The server was very good and understanding. Just not impressed.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Half price for a bottle of wine on Tuesdays. The food has always been excellent. Never have we had a bad meal yet! I would recommend this establishment to everyone…….

Best Italian in the St Cloud Area! I have eaten here three times and I had consistently good service and food each time. 2 out of those 3 times was during peak hours and the place was full, yet we only waited about 15minutes to be seated. The waitress informed us at our last visit in August of 2025 that the place will be closing in 2026 or 2027 unless they find a buyer as the current owners cannot continue to own it. If that is true it saddens me =(

Very enjoyable dinner the hubs tonight. I’ve been craving Italian and this place was perfect. Reservation are recommended especially for dinner time. We arrived at 5:15 on a Saturday night and took our time deciding on dinner choices. We didn’t feel any pressure to complete our meal. We had appetizer, dinner and dessert. All very good.

Me and the gf were on the hunt for a new (to us) restaurant to try. We ended up at Bello Cucina and man are we happy we found this spot! Seriously one of our new favorites!
It’s located on a fun little strip of shops and bars. Kinda a touristy type atmosphere in St.Joe ♂️
We were kindly greeted by a bunch of the staff that seemed excited to see us. We were quickly seated and served water. The inside of the place is kinda a cross between Italian fine dining and also kinda a vineyard type vibe. It’s nice.
The meaning has so many good sounding dishes that a person is almost forced to come back to try something else. Deciding on what ya want is a touch decision. One thing we both noticed right away was the affordable prices! Kinda a rarity these days. We started out with the calamari as an appetizer that my gf said was very good. For her main course she got the blackened yellow fin tuna that was some of the best I ever tasted. (I’m getting that next time for sure!). I got firecracker tenderloin tips on a lobster risotto. My tenderloin tips were a little over cooked but nothing worse fussing about. Otherwise was delicious. I would highly recommend both of these meals!
Our waitress (I’m sorry I forgot her name) was awesome! She was friendly and did a great job serving us. (Blindfish brown hair, maybe in her mid 40’s?)
I can’t speak more highly of this place honestly! Overall 5 star and I can’t wait to go back!

After 3 is half price wine so we got a bottle of Riesling for $12. We ordered off the lunch menu and got the the 1/4 brisket waygu burger and 1/4 mushrom waygu burger with yummy white truffle shoestring fries. The brisket burger would get again, it was really really good, the mushroom one was a bit too wet for my liking, made the bun mushy and fall apart but if you don’t mind that, then you will still like the burger. Friendly staff and nice place to have lunch, would recommend and come back here again.
