Park Ridge, NJ 07656 As soon as I entered this bistro, I was impressed with the nicely decorated interior that was adorned with lots of Italian themed wall art. The servers greeted me and made me feel right at home. Throughout the meal, they were very attentive and always refilled my water glass and cleared any excess plates. The CP entree also included complimentary rice balls and a house salad (not pictured), both of which tasted phenomenal. I couldn't say I was completely on par with the main course. The mozzarella cheese did not have a golden char. The cutlet was on the chewier side and something about the breading was off. However, the homemade sauce was the best part of the dish; it was thick and flavorful. Although I can't vouch for this CP, I was satisfied with their service and the other menu items I tried. For this reason, I'll definitely explore their other entrees except for the parm. #pestoitalianbistro #chickenparmreview #njchickenparmratings #parkridgenj

And he said, 2 out of 10, but when I got it, it was definitely 0 out of 10 spicy. He said too many people complained about the spice level. So they dumbed it down, but it just tasted like tomato sauce with no spice at all. Unfortunate. There were a couple of other appetizers or things on the menu I would be willing to try, but I won't be running back to this spot anytime soon. Especially since it was a good distance away from me.

We started with the seafood salad, which we get every time. It's not on the menu, but they can make it for you. During this evening, it was actually on the specials menu. The seafood salad should come out with calamari, scungilli, shrimp and octopus. There was no octopus this time. I pointed this out and the owner checked in the kitchen. They said they only had one small piece and cut it up...even smaller, then just added more scungilli. But, there was no octopus...at all. Regardless, it's still a delicious dish and hopefully they can execute it better next time. For entrees, we had the rigatoni da vinci and the veal sorrentino. They also bring house salads in between, which are appreciated. The rigatoni was a big portion and tasted great... Almost like the flavors your get from Shrimp or lobster bisque soup. The crab in the dish is dispersed so don't expect to eat a chunk of crab. The veal was prepared perfectly and you get two cutlets. Tasted great, but that's all that's on the plate. For the price, I feel like it should come with a bit of penne or some mixed veggies. Something. I wouldn't order this again and it's sort of an empty dish for me.

Lovely atmosphere. The staff was polite and kind. The manager stopped by to chat and check in. The folks with me who ate the strip steak enjoyed it. It was tasty and cooked perfectly as they requested. That's good considering it IS a steakhouse. The negatives. It is not always the case that everyone in the party likes steak or likes every steak. So a good steakhouse will do the other options exceptionally well too. Particularly the meat. Here, they did not. I like ribeye. That's my favorite. They only offer a 24 oz ribeye, however, and since none of my peeps wanted ribeye (curses on them) I was up a creek. I don't like strip or filet. Didn't want pork. But I do LOVE a wedge salad, and few places have one. Steakhouses generally do. So I was quite happy to have one. Until I had it. They did not do it well. At all. First, the bacon... while it clearly began as a few lovely generous lardons, ended up four over cooked, hard as rocks bacon chunks. The chicken was dry and terribly overcooked. Hard on the edges. I would expect a steakhouse to get the grilled chicken breast correct. And the bacon is inexcusable. When the salad costs $30, you have to nail it. Could I have sent it back? I'm sure I could have. But looking at the neighbors' table, theirs looked the same so I figured what's the point. And I didn't want to be a Karen about a salad in a steakhouse. And I wasn't holding up my table's meal for a redo on a salad. At the end of the day, if you don't get something this simple correct, it is a fail. I'm sorry to say that. Truly. But it requires addressing. There are too many other options for good steak that do these non-steak elements right too.

Went to dinner at Bellissimo for the second time 2 nights ago and left aggravated. Our first dinner was OK, and our second visit started out nice good apps, my wife liked the veal I ordered the Zuppa Di Pesce and that's where the trouble started. I received the dish and all I could see was a mound of calamari. I began moving the calamari to the bowl provided for my shells so I could get to the other fish and pasta. To my surprise I filled the bowl and still had plenty of calamari left to eat. Considering this is the most expensive dish on the menu I expected more than 4 small mussels,4 clams,2 shrimps and over 3 cups of calamari. When the waiter returned to clear the table he asked me if I didn't like calamari I told him I liked it very much but I was disappointed that 90% of the dish was calamari the least expensive ingredient, he shrugged and walked away there was no comment or any attempt to make things right. We had our coffee and dessert paid the bill and said good bye to Belissimo, we will not return. It's funny when you think about it Bellissimo means Very Beautiful not that night. read more

My wife is having her baby shower at Bellissimo, so we decided to give it a test run last night. Everything was absolutely outstanding! Our server, Josue (Josh) was very friendly and attentive, and he made us feel at home. The food was delicious and although they were extremely busy, we didn't have any delay in getting our dinner. We ordered the Calamari, which was excellent...the sauce was delicious and tasted homemade. My wife is a big chicken francese fan, and she was very happy with her choice. The sauce was perfect and not too "lemony", and the chicken was mouthwatering. I ordered one of the specials, chicken rollatini with riccota and mozzarella cheese, topped with a demi glace red wine reduction sauce...It was out of this world amazing! Super good! Tony, one of the managers, was also very nice and friendly to us and other guests as well. From the time we walked in until we left, we felt extremely comfortable and we will most definitely be heading back in the near future! read more

First time there on Friday last week, last time too. This place is more Albanian than Italian! Not an Italian to be found anywhere in the restaurant. When we walked in and the little waiter that was sitting us was looking at me like I had 2 heads! I said to him, are you ok? He said I'm ok if your ok! This is instead of welcoming us to the restaurant and smiling. I knew right then we were in for a bad experience, I was right. The clams oreganata were right out of the fridge, flat as a pancake from being stacked on top of each other in the fridge. My wife tasted one and said these smell like a refrigerator! The Veal Verona was just terrible, tasted mostly corn starch in this dish!! My wife sent that dish right back to the kitchen. I will not go into how bad the rest was so i will leave it at that. I say pass on this diner. Just not worth a visit sorry to say. read more

Bellissimo Restaurant in Montvale, NJ offers an incredible ambiance at a very affordable price. The staff is attentive, engaging, well dressed, well groomed, and very charming. The owner Eddie is personable, insightful and gregarious. The restaurant itself is quaint and out of the way of the busy road most of all conveniently located next door to a wine & spirits shop. The food is out of this world. I ate lunch there twice and both times my experiences were incredibly pleasant. I felt catered to and pampered. When the bill came today, my 3 girlfriends and I indulged in fine dinning for only $41!. I recommend this restaurant to any and everyone from high powered lawyers to handymen.

Went in the other day and had delicious food. However The owners brother was walking around like a chicken with his head cut off. He was taking on the hostess, server, busboys job and was overwhelmed whereas if he left everyone to do their own job, everything would've went smoothly. He asked us every 5 minutes how the same food was. It was very much. He was hovering over every single person at our table once the bill was put down. So he could take it right from us as soon as we signed. Felt very rushed and a little shady as we want the right amount of tip to go to our server and he wouldn't know with the brother taking the bill directly from us as soon as it was signed. Server George and hostess Lyndsey are the best though. Very much made our night. read more

She didn't mention the prices, and I assumed they would be comparable to the rest of the regular menu. I ordered the cod special (pictured). Unfortunately, the food was nothing to write home about--it was way too salty and heavily overpowered by garlic. The real shock came with the bill: the cod was $47.95. I've been to true fine dining restaurants that don't charge that kind of money for cod, and I was incredibly upset. I told the waitress directly that the special felt like a massive ripoff. While the service itself was pleasant, the predatory pricing on unlisted specials ruined the experience. I guess I'm just glad I checked it out alone first--saving us from having 12 angry club members writing 12 terrible reviews. Needless to say, our club will be taking our business elsewhere.

The service here is impeccable. The chef and owner is engaged in the experience of his customers…read more The food is outstanding. Locally sourced and freshly made to order, truly some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The endive salad was classic and simple with a vinaigrette and some local organic tomatoes. A spring salad was another treat. But my favorite was the lobster ravioli. It came with a white sauce and a dollop of the red marinara sauce in the middle so you can make your own cream sauce. It was decadent and delightful. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Bathrooms are clean as well and a small parking lot for free parking. (I don't know if that's normal for the area but everywhere else I've been recently in NY and NJ is paid parking.) Go try it out!

Service was good but food wasn't. Pasta very al dente and sauce was bland. Owner is not friendly…read moreand doesn't care if his customers complain. It's a small restaurant and with a bad attitude you won't last long. Try somewhere else.
