The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the Chicken Marsala and the brick fired Margarita pizza is so fresh and melts in your mouth. The pizza dough is made with imported flour and hand tossed perfectly. Moreover the staff makes you feel like you are visiting their home instead of a restaurant, it has a true Italian feel, and in the aromas are delightful. One of our favorite restaurant! read more

Honestly, the food was really good and the owner was incredibly friendly. She made sure that everything was to our satisfaction and asked if we needed anything extra, like bread. But overall, a very nice experience. read more

I ordered takeout. The food and dessert were amazing. It is a shame that it didn't come with utensils.

Amazing new restaurant off of FM 620 near four points. Ambiance... loud. It could be a larger space with a more cozy atmosphere. My opinion. Will return again and again! Food and service 5 stars! read more

What went well? I'd say just about everything! I was taking a friend out to dinner for her BD and because she just landed a good job. Walked in about 6:30 on Friday without a reservation. Even though they were fully booked, a table came open and we were seated within just a few minutes. We examined the menu and specials and were delighted to see lots of dishes we wanted to try as well as every dessert they offered. We ordered drinks and decided to forgo the appetizers (tempting as they are) and ordered sides salads and entrees. She ordered the bisteca and I ordered the scampi. Her house side salads was loaded with fresh veggies and good crisp lettuce, my Caesar delicious with the same crispy Romain & croutons and a very tasty dressing. The entrees were excellent. The bisteca was melt in your mouth delicious and paired with home made penne in a delicious sauce a wonderful dish. The scampi was perfectly prepared with homemade spaghetti. The sauce was just slightly picante as advertised. A delightful dinner. Oh I forgot, loved the home made rolls with dipping sauce of olive oil, vinegar and spices. The dessert we chose to share was a pistacio and cream filled cake. It was totally scrumptious. Lastly, but definitely very important was the service. Absolutely perfect service. The dishes were severed in a timely fashion and we were tended to expertly and without ever feeling rushed. Seemed like whenever we realized we wanted or needed something our waiter was there, just before we looked up for him! This restaurant is now my top pick for Italian food in the city. Can't wait to go back and explore the menu, there are dozens of dishes I want to try. On a 10 point scale in give the3m a 10 (if there were higher numbers I'd have given more). read more

Service was very good. Appetizers were served first, followed by the salad and entree. We never had to request refills and there was perfect timing between courses. The bruschetta was the low point of the meal as it was on doughy bread and not very flavorful. The salad was fresh and nicely presented. My husband had veal Marsala and thoroughly enjoyed it but would have liked a little more veal as opposed to more pasta. I had the gnocchi with bolognese sauce and it was flavorful and very good. Serving sizes are small but the quality is excellent. The Italian cream cake was also good. They do not have a good coffee according to the servers, which is always enjoyable after a meal. They were busy as we were leaving and seem to do a good deal of takeout as well as a good pizza business. We will certainly return but not have appetizers. They have a nice happy hour also. Ambience is basic, but it is clean and roomy. The owner stopped by twice to check on us, which is always nice. read more

The service was outstanding! The bread served was fresh, crispy, crunchy yet soft in the middle. I appreciate their prices too! It's quality service and ingredients for less than what one would pay at McDonald's. You can't miss this place! My only recommendation for the establishment is: the sauce for the fettuccine Alfredo was great regarding the creaminess it is, but, I like my sauce with ricotta and I didn't taste that ingredient. The noodles were cooked a bit too much for me, perhaps it's because they might be using fresh pasta. I'm sure I could've prefaced it to be cooked "al dente" I will next time. Last, and this is an issue that really ruins the experience for me but, it's a trend I've seen across the board and in practically every restaurant. THE LIGHTING AND THE SOUND! For goodness sakes. The Edison light bulb / or any light bulb hanging down without the proper filter is atrocious. It burns my retinas and is NOT flattering for anyone, especially when they're on a date. This is an awful trend and it needs to stop! Last, acoustics are really important, consult with a sound engineer. Lighting and sound set the atmosphere and create either a harsh or relaxing environment and it will affect the experience of the customer. In extreme situations it will affect the flavor of the food, it's about perception. Many moons ago, my grandfather would take all of us to an Italian restaurant once a month. It had dim lighting, tuck and roll naugahyde booths, velvet wallpapers. The food, come to find out, wasn't that great. However, the atmosphere was! read more

I highly recommend Bellissima that just opened on 620 (near the Moviehouse & Eatery). After living in NY for almost 20 years, I'm a little snobby about Italian. This place is as good as many NYC restaurants. The pasta is clearly handmade and the ingredients are very fresh. The owner is lovely too. https://bellissimatx.com/ read more

Incredibly delicious and authentic food - perfect mix of Italian and Mediterranean flavors. Operated by a wonderful family as well. Found my new local Italian spot. read more

Food was excellent, service was impeccable! Portions are huge! Nice atmosphere, easy parking. We will be back!!

Is it inside a strip mall? Yes but what do you expect it's in the suburbs. They do a very nice job of providing a vibe. The guy singing Sinatra songs livens up the place and the Friday night clientele is what you would expect in that part of town. Tons of families and a few older couples out on date night. I love this isn't a chain and it has a personality all its own. The people working here are friendly and helpful. Is the service a bit rushed? Depends on who you ask. It was quick and efficient but I was good with that. The shrimp picante I think it's called was flavorful and spicy. My dining partner had the trout and it was amazing too. The bread soft and warm. The tiramisu was a generous delicious portion. It was a nice dinner and we have great leftovers. read more

Seriously the best Italian in the area. Everything on the menu is amazing. The staff are so kind and efficient. Would absolutely recommend!!

Really good food, poor customer service. Our family has ordered two pizzas every week just about since Bellisima opened. The pizzas are excellent, yet not cheap. Usually about $47 for two pies. On a recent order we accidentally ordered gluten free crust - it was 100% our mistake as the week before we had a guest that couldn't eat gluten. That carried over to this weeks order. We called to if they would remake pizzas, sharing we are loyal customers who made a mistake. They wouldn't even offer a discount! It is well within the companies prerogative to deny such requests, however their decision is a big miss on customer service and loyalty. read more

This little place is run by the nicest people. The food is homemade, delicious and well priced. We will be regulars

Went here based on the Yelp recommendations. Wonderful pasta. We had the risotto burratta and surf and twist pasta. They were both delicious. Our first time here and we'll definitely be back. The pizzas look delicious, so I'm sure we'll try one next time. read more

Great ambiance, I went on a Saturday night so the live music wasn't there but didn't need it, I would say the place really started to fill up around 6-6:30 so I recommend a reservation. Had to try their margarita pizza and honestly pretty good id say a solid 7.8 also highly recommend the amaretto orange if you're interested in trying a cocktail. Service was pretty great too, friendly, attentive, and always around if needed. Overall great experience, well done Bellissima fam read more

Great food (large portions - my lunch was 2 meals worth). Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Just wow. This place is what Austin TX has needed for years. Amazing Italian food that isn't overpriced. Super high quality and fresh ingredients. Fresh made pasta. Mostly traditional Italian and Italian American choices. The specials were more unique but very delicious. Amazing service. Our server explained each dish and said he had tried everything on the menu. Nicely decorated. Modern but simple. I hope they get the recognition they deserve. We can't wait to go back!!! read more

still the best Italian food we have had I the Northwest Austin area. They need to improve two areas - their phone to get reservations - always goes to a message. their approach to handling to go orders and delivery pickups - its a real bottleneck at the entrance while we stand waiting in line behind them to get out hopefully reserved table. Noise level is fine Drinks are great Service is excellent - Charley or Curtis are stellar. We always feel welcome. read more

The absolute worst experience I have had in years. A waiter who was the slowest ever, argumentative, paid no attention to our requests and the manager who was virtually absent. Both were exceptionally insensitive to service. 1. with only 3 active tables it took almost 15 minutes to get water 2. Ordered caprese and there was zero basil, only arugula. I said it was not basil. He said it was under the mozzarella but it was only more arugula. He went to talk to a manager who came back after their discussion and said it was in the sauce. There was no sauce. The tomatoes were under ripe, had no pepper with some balsamic vinegar and negligible olive oil. I said caprese has basil and that's why I ordered it at least 3 times. Then he asked if I wanted basil. I said yes!! Then he brings wilted chopped basil. I sent it back. It noted as a manager's comp on my check. It was not a comp. It was refused. The manager never came by to understand why it was sent back. 3. The 4 small dinner rolls were served with about 2 tblsp of olive oil, minimal balsamic vinegar and zero seasonings, not even black pepper. We asked for more olive oil because there were 4 of us and then was given the same sparse serving where everyone had about half of a dinner roll left because there was not enough olive oil even with the second serving of olive oil. And we were never offered black pepper for the oil. I ordered spicy chicken pasta. The chicken pieces were dry and rock hard. 4. The spice level was 4x than I have ever had in an Italian restaurant. The spice level overpowered the dish and the sauce was bland, even with the overpowering peppers. 5. We were never offered fresh ground black pepper for our meal. When we asked for it, we were given a cheap plastic grinder that worked poorly and we struggled to get it to work so we gave up. 6. We ordered a bottle of wine. The waiter opened it and poured all the glasses without presenting to the person who ordered it to try it first. That's never happened where it wasn't presented for tasting. He then tossed the cork on the table and said there's your cork. 7. My friend spilled her iced weather and she yelped. The manager and waiter came over and both asked if they could do anything and just stood there. Yes stop staring and go get some napkins. The manager left and never returned. The waiter comes back 5 minutes later with no sense of urgency with only 2 small paper towels. He never even wiped up the table. Meanwhile my friend is sopping wet and was very uncomfortable. 8. I had a lot of my meal left over because it just wasn't good. The waiter asked me twice if I wanted a to go box. Both times I said no. He still brought me a box. 9. We asked for 3 checks for a party of 4. Twice we stated who got what checks. He brings back 2 checks and 10 minutes later was still not corrected so we said to split the bill down the middle so we could get out of there. There was no urgency from this guy. 10. The manager never came by or asked how we were doing though we had multiple issues. 11. Because of the poor service, a simple lunch took almost 2 hours and was most unsatisfactory. This in spite of the restaurant never being more than 1/3 full. Italian food is a favorite of mine but this place had no understanding of basic Italian food (no basil on caprese?!!), lack of customer service or social skills. Arguing with a customer about arugula vs basil? My friends said the place was typically great and maybe it was just this weekend crew that was bad but even the manager was awful. I left that place frustrated, irritated and angry that they ruined lunch for us. read more

Love this place!! Everyone is so friendly and food is amazing!! They even have a good selection of gluten free items!!

This place is so great I almost don't want to spread the word! We had bruschetta...fresh tomatoes, spicy garlic and the bread was fantastic! Arugula salad was a nice blend of spicy greens, semi sweet pears and salty cheese. And the shrimp and scallop risotto is to die for! read more

Hidden Italian gem off 620! Some of the best Italian food I've had in Austin (yes, that is a low bar but this place is legit). Great service and vibe to boot. Creamy Italian dip and the Chicken Involtini exceeded expectations! read more

Came to Austin for a friend's birthday and this is one of the places we went to eat that was his preference. I could see why. The wait time agreeable for a Saturday and once we were seated the server was very attentive. I ordered the chicken marsala and it was delicious. (I love mushrooms). I wish we would have also tried one of their appetizers, but based on how much of my entree I ate, I don't think I would have survived! Haha. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food and drinks which solidified this as a quality restaurant. The feel of the restaurant was also very pleasant, even if we kind of suspected a few of the paintings were AI generated from Amazon. ( Not that there was anything wrong with that. Just something we noticed.) I think my only concern was that the pasta felt a little closer to al dente, but that might just be how they prefer it here. It's not my personal preference, but I won't hold it against them. Keep up the good work! (And watch your cook times!) read more

I wasn't impressed with the food. I wanted to love it because it's nearby but ... just meh for me. If you're a foodie, may not be the best option. read more

Fantastic food and staff. I heard about Bellissima 3 weeks ago and I've been there 4 times. My new go to for Italian food.

We have been twice in the last two days. The waitstaff have both been knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing hence going back twice in two days. read more

Food was great. It appears the place is just opening service was mediocre but not horrible. How do you recommend the food though and I'm sure they will get the service figured out soon. read more

Absolutely delicious! So excited to have this beautiful spot here. The eggplant and pizza are incredible. We also loved the lasagna! Charlie took amazing care of us. We can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing food! Wonderful homemade pasta. I've eaten here several times and never had anything that wasn't tasty.

Bellissima is the best thing to happen in the Four Points area in the 30 years I've lived here. The food is as good as it is in Italy. Truly. I just returned from a month in Italy and the food at Bellissima is like being there. The pizza crust is fabulous. We tried the Prociutto/fig/mozzarella pizza and the Margarita pizza And will be returning to try more. We had the fried ravioli appetizer with the marinara sauce....perfection! And although we were a little full we decided to try a dessert too. We had the Bellissima Cream Cake, and were delighted with the flavor and texture. The portion was large so we were glad to share one piece between the two of us. The atmosphere is very casual and comfortabl. The staff is attentive, the coffee is fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food. read more

We were told by the host that we would have to leave by a certain time. The time was not that restrictive, but I really dislike being told when I have to finish my dinner by. Then we were taken to a table closest to restroom. I asked for a different table and was told that they didn't have any other table available. It was 5:30 and only 2 tables were occupied at the time. This is not the customer friendly restaurant we were looking for. We won't be back. read more

Happy hour not as advertised. Service was slow. Food was decent - restaurant was empty and could not get service and happy hour prices were not honored. read more

Meatballs eh, Caesar salad really good, carbonara lacked flavor. Chicken palm was ok

Great food and service highly recommend! Everytime I dine there it's a great experience. You can tell the staff cares about the customers and makes an effort to provide great food and great service. read more

Food is amazing. Grilled trout special was awesome. Curtis our server was friendly and courteous. He took our requests and accurately explained them to chef. Drinks were exactly as expected. They made my veg risotto with no dairy. Big win. Can be a bit loud with the singer turning up volume. read more

We enjoyed on a Monday (10/14/24). We had the buffalo caprese, the Chicken Involuta and a spicy Italian sausage pizza. All great! We took home lunch for the next day - portions healthy. Service was attentive - appropriately so. So friendly! Wine - a chardonnay and montepulciano - very nice. Pricing very good for the food and service. Ambiance was energetic, yet comfortable. A wonderful experience and we will be back - I honestly want to try everything! read more
