They were very busy and they did a fantastic job
Really a great restaurant
Alima and Melissa are our favorites — they are so kind and welcoming.
We always enjoy coming here. Highly recommend!❤️
Everything we ordered was spectacular. I had the gnocchi with Sorrento‑style sauce—pillowy gnocchi in a rich, garlicky tomato sauce with eggplant that was cooked to silky perfection. My wife’s Chicken Pecan was tender and packed with flavor, and my adult daughter’s Eggplant Parmigiana was a true classic done right: crisp, cheesy, and saucy in the best way.
The fresh house salads were crisp and bright, and we finished with tiramisu and cheesecake—both decadent without being overly sweet—paired with smooth cappuccinos. The garlic, the sauces, and the quality of the ingredients really stand out.
If you love authentic Italian with big flavor and careful execution, Bellissimo delivers. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend! Ardi was an incredible host and so friendly and had great knowledge of the menu. He was a wonderful addition to our meal.
————————
The story of Italian cuisine in the US begins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during a significant wave of Italian immigration.
In cities like New York, Boston, and Chicago, Italian neighborhoods flourished, and with them, so did Italian restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores. These establishments became not just places to eat but centers of community life where traditions could be preserved and celebrated.
Opened since 2008 and located off of Kinderkamack Road in Montvale, we have decided on dinner at Bellissimo because it combines a casual vibe with magnificent Italian cooking. They have a large following, where reservation is highly recommended and was easily made via their website.
Upon arrival at a packed BYOB establishment, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the host, Bella, and got a table right away inside the larger dining room.
The menu remains extensive, as well as the daily specials that are usually creative and unique enough to cover everyone’s desire.
As appetizers, we decided on Mozzarella En Carrozza and Calamari Fritti. For our meal, we opted for Veal Piccata, Stuffed Rigatoni, Eggplant Parmigiana, and one of tonight’s specials consisting of shrimp, sausages, and pasta.
All meals usually came with a house salad with balsamic vinegar, but our server, Gustavo, friendly and accommodating, hooked us up with a special salad to share. Complimentary bread started our meal.
Each meal was expertly prepared using the fresh ingredients into a very generous portion and reasonably priced. The food remained consistently delicious.
The ever-present owner, Arti, oversees the experience by ensuring a personal visit to each table where we made small talk. The staff is quick to refill your water or get anything anyone needs.
Best Italian restaurant in the area, which we can continue to recommend.
