This was hands down one of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had.
The pizza and pasta were exceptional, showcasing clean, authentic flavors without any unnecessary frills.
The Pizza Ai Funghi (roasted mushroom pizza) was surprisingly simple yet incredibly balanced—the rich flavor of the mushrooms paired perfectly with the creamy, milky notes of the cheese.
As for the Pomodoro Pasta, they used a blend of three different tomato sauces with fresh basil.
It was so light and savory that I ended up using my bread to scrape every last drop of sauce off the plate.
To top it all off, the Americano was the perfect finish.
It was smooth with a subtle acidity that felt incredibly comforting.
A truly satisfying meal from start to finish.

I had a team lunch right at opening time (11:30 AM), so it was dead. Service was amazing and attentive as we were the only ones there. They changed our plates so many times. From the lunch menu, we ordered everything to share: calamari, arugula salad, polpo (squid), pizza, 2 pastas, and 3 desserts (tiramisu, pumpkin sorbet, and panna cotta). Everything was tasty. Most notably, I really enjoyed squid, pumpkin ice cream, and panna cotta. So refreshing!

While I only had pizza and wine here I can’t give an honest review as to the rest of their menu which looks really nice. I found the Pizza tomato base to be overly sugary/sweet. The base was a little too chewy for me, but the ingredients on the topping were excellent. No my favorite Pizza, but definitely not the worst. I feel like the pasta dishes are where this restaurant shines and I would definitely be more adventurous in my choice of food next time. Wine was really good and service was very good too.

First time here for a dinner for my wife’s birthday and it was outstanding. The food was the star of the show, excellent flavors, the high quality ingredients and the absolute taste of the dishes wow. The service was not far behind at all, Jared is a phenomenal waiter and I’d request him if you go. His enthusiasm and enjoyment of the menu is very evident and his input on the specials made our meal all that much better. It’s got a very good style too it and isn’t stuffy at all. We will be returning.

Short, simple menu with hearty, strongly flavored basics executed well. Lobster and crab on pasta a bit chewy, while appetizers and bread tasted of the old country. Quiet at lunch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review – An Unforgettable Dining Experience
Bello by Sandro Nardone in Newport Beach delivered the most amazing dining experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and music set the perfect tone—warm, vibrant, and effortlessly stylish.
Our waiter, Jerry, was an absolute standout: charming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. The fresh pasta—made with flour imported directly from Italy—was delectable. The pasta special was truly to die for: a luxurious white truffle pasta, with Sandro himself grating fresh white truffles over my dish right at the table. It was an unforgettable touch.
The wine pairing was perfection and elevated the entire meal even further.
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the desserts arrived. Every single one was incredible—from the fragrant olive oil cake to the dreamy tiramisu and the most refreshing panna cotta. Each dessert was a masterpiece.
This was a true 5-star experience from start to finish.
We will absolutely be back.

What’s important to note is the region of Italy the chef is from. If you’re looking for Americanized Italian food. This is not what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for special regional Italian food that is authentic to the chef’s home region with some creative twists this is for you. The food was outstanding and each course was delicious. Highly recommend.

Every dish that hit the table was great. The prawns were excellent. Everything else was great. Service however really let us down. Multiple items we ordered had changed or were out of stock and none of this was told to us until we had ordered them. From a change on the buratta set (different from the one on the menu), to the trout tartare being out of stock despite being on the menu, and ordering the Gavi off the menu for our first courses and then being told it was out of stock and being told the bottle of red we ordered MIGHT not be in stock and to prepare ourselves for not being able to enjoy either wines we originally wanted was a big disappointment. They ended up having the red (lovely brunello we ordered) but decanted it and never poured a taste or our glasses and left it on the table. Then forgot one of three of our pastas which hit the table over 10 minutes after the other two. We did get two free desserts for these transgressions and they were excellent. But overall we were let down by bello. I don’t think it was our servers fault as he was an older Italian gentleman who was personable, kind, and very open about the differences between what the menu stated and what we could actually enjoy, but we definitely were expecting more of this Michelin recommended restaurant.

The experience started off well with attentive service, but unfortunately, it didn’t carry through to the end. Overall, I wouldn’t consider this a fine dining experience. The Caesar salad was chopped too finely and ended up soggy, and the crudo didn’t meet expectations. The highlight of the meal was the Diavola pizza—it was flavorful and well-executed, though at the end of the day, it’s still just pizza. The pasta, a chef’s special with pink sauce, was decent but not memorable. Dessert was a pistachio tres leches, which sounded promising but fell flat. I’d recommend coming here for the pizza and cocktails, but beyond that, there are better dining options available.
