  Bellissima was a lovely Mother’s Day dinner spot. I went with my mother, and since Italian cuisine is my favorite, I had high expectations. Having eaten at Italian restaurants in both the U.S. and Europe, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality here. We started with the bruschetta, and the bread tasted freshly baked, with a nice contrast between the marinated tomatoes and pesto. For our main dishes, we ordered the Surf & Twist Spaghetti and the Verdura Pizza. The pizza was one of my favorite parts of the meal: it tasted fresh, handmade, and thoughtfully prepared. The Surf & Twist Spaghetti also had great flavor, especially with the shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes. The only area I think could be improved is the presentation, but overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and enjoyable. A very nice Mother’s Day dinner experience!

  Today was our 1st time trying out Bellissima and we are very happy to have a decent Italian restaurant to go to; instead of driving downtown to Red Ash. We had: 1. Steak pizza, flavor profile was delicious. Crust was good but soft and chewy; we prefer our crust to be firmer and crispier like in Rome, Italy. 2. Seafood red sauce pasta "Fra Diavolo" was good, my husband liked it more than me. Red Ash dish is still my favorite; however, I appreciated the welly executed cooking of the scallops, mussels, shrimp and calamari rings. Red sauce was nice but did not make me go "omg this is so good". 3. Tiramasu was really good, tasted homemade 4. Service was good, our server was very nice. Manny 5. Atmosphere a 3 bc they stuck us all the way in the corner so I could not really feel as though we were part of the restaurant action to truely feel the ambience and vibe. Would we come back? Absolutely (hopefully I find a dish that I say "omg this is sooo good") I hope for their success bc fourpoints really needs a good Italian restaurant that makes their pasta fresh like Bellissima.

  We sat in the corner booth and instantly felt like VIPs. Manny was our server and truly made the whole experience so lovely — we’ll absolutely be back to dine in his section. The restaurant has an open kitchen toward the back, a great wine and cocktail selection, fresh complimentary bread, and handmade pasta made in-house. The tiramisu was so fresh and worth saving room for. Manny actually told us to leave room for dessert and joked that if we didn’t enjoy it, he’d pay for it himself. The staff was attentive without being invasive, and Manny gave us fantastic wine and food recommendations as first-timers. We came for an impromptu early dinner date, originally just for the wine, but stayed for the incredible food and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

  There are meals you enjoy… and then there are the ones that stay with you—the kind that randomly pop back into your mind like, “Yeah… I need that again.” That was my experience at Bellissima. I ordered the prosciutto and fig pizza, and I’m not exaggerating when I say—this is one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite. It starts with a beautifully baked crust—light, structured, just the right amount of chew—serving as the perfect canvas without competing for attention. Then comes this incredibly well-balanced layering: a creamy base, fresh mozzarella that melts into soft, delicate pockets, and parmesan adding that quiet, nutty depth in the background. And then… the magic. The prosciutto is silky and lightly warmed, never overworked, keeping that tender, almost buttery texture. The figs bring this lush, jammy sweetness that feels rich but not heavy—rounded, not sugary. Toss in fresh arugula for a peppery lift, and finish it with a drizzle of balsamic glaze that ties everything together with just the right touch of acidity and sweetness. Nothing fights for attention. Nothing is overdone. It’s balanced in a way that feels intentional—like every element knows its role. Honestly? It’s the kind of pizza Edesia herself would nod at in approval. And yes… my mouth is absolutely watering thinking about it again. Now let’s talk about Nicole. She has that rare, intuitive rhythm—not hovering, not disappearing—just quietly in sync with the table. Timing that feels natural, not rehearsed. She suggested a cocktail that paired beautifully with the pizza—something bright enough to cut through the richness while still complementing the sweetness of the figs and balsamic. It didn’t feel like a recommendation. It felt like guidance. There’s a difference between service that checks boxes and service that enhances the experience. Nicole elevated the entire meal without ever making it about her—and that’s a skill. Between a dish that’s still living rent-free in my head and service that felt effortless but thoughtful, Bellissima quietly secured its place as a spot I’ll be returning to. Soon.

  This was our first time here and DEFINITELY not our last! The atmosphere is fantastic and we went on Friday and they had an amazing singer singing Frank Sinatra songs that just added to it. The service was awesome with warm greetings upon arrival as well as a great waiter that was on point and very friendly. Our cups were always full and he made great suggestions when ordering and checked on us from time to time to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The food was superb and tasted fresh, truly a great dish for both me and my wife.We ordered the special as they rotate specials. The teramisu was also a great way to end the meal and very delicious. Thisnis definitely a place to come and enjoy a GREAT Italian meal! We will be back to try more of there food! Job well done Bellissima you have earned some regulars. For anyone wanting a great Italian meal with a great atmosphere you have to try this place as you wont be disappointed. Come on Tuesday or Friday for live singing that starts at 6pm and enjoy the food service and live entertainment!!!!
