Very tasty food and excellent service. I had a great experience at Bellissimo. The staff was very friendly and food is great. There are a couple of staple dishes that I usually get when I try a new Italian restaurant one being the Zuppa di Pesce and the other Penne alla Vodka. I feel like these are two dishes, but not all restaurants got exactly right, and Bellissimo was right on the mark. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We also had the daily special appetizer of the stuffed artichokes which was awesome. I will definitely go back. read more

For starters. . . The most extraordinary wait staff, attentive to every detail of the dining experience. Beginning with the very best bread and butter is an enticement to the further offerings. Lunch menu . . . . the best! Soups and salads that rival Tuscany's very best. Appetizers ordered today were fried calamari, Caesar salad, little neck clams oreganata, The entrees? A Paradise choice of perfection. Specialties for us, the sea bass, greens, shrimp in a scampi sauce, Verona chicken with requested extra artichokes , veal parm. . . . Beyond perfection! read more

Food is good here. The servers are very pushy to their guests. The portions have gotten smaller recently and the prices increased

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Very kind waitstaff. I highly recommend Bellissimo, one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in the area! read more

mediocre but wildly popular italian spot. we hadnt been to this restaurant in over 10 years and decided to check it out again. when we first walked in i was surprised by how busy this place was. please note that they dont take reservations for parties smaller than 6 so we had to wait to be seated. the staff at the front of the house were very nice and the wait went quickly. since our last visit, the restaurant has expanded. i have to say the tables are very close together and really jammed into the restaurant. this place is so busy it's almost chaotic. the service staff is really slammed and running from table trying to take orders and get food out. this definitely takes away from the dining experience. the food is just okay. I've had much better at many other places. i wanted something sweet so we ordered a lava cake for dessert. something about the temperature of the dessert made me feel like the cake was microwaved. sure enough before we left the restaurant i needed to use the bathroom. on my way to the back of the restaurant i saw the wait staff preparing coffee and all of the desserts were in pre packaged boxes and stored in the refrigerator. im glad that others are enjoying this restaurant, but it just wasn't for me. will likely not return. read more

Great welcome and seating, excellent food and overall service. Only complaint was that once the food was delivered only saw the waiter or busboy perhaps once and never got grated cheese on my meal and was never asked if everything was okay or if we needed anything else and I had to flag down the waiter for another bottle of water. But, I guess, in fairness to them, it was Father's Day and packed. Luckily we were sitting outside. The dining room was wall to wall people. We've been there before and likely will go back but not on a holiday! read more

Restaurant has great food You can only get reservations for 6 or more people Wait time can be long

Excellent Restaurant! The place is nicely decorated and has a beautiful separate area for small parties. The food is great. I had the Chicken Rolatini with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The chicken and the light cream sauce were absolutely delicious. The potatoes were sort of whipped and perfect with the chicken. I just had to clean my plate, it was just that good. My wife and MIL had the Rigatoni Bolanese, which was also great. My FIL had the Chicken Marsala, which was also delicious. The service was impeccable. The place is also BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite bottle of wine. All around excellent experience, can't wait to go back. read more

I dine at Bellissimo's at least once or twice a month! The lunch special is fantastic. The soups are delicious as well as their salad! The entrees are very good also. From the minute you walk through the front door until you leave you are greeted by their very friendly staff. You will not find a wait staff any friendlier than here! Now you can get a $10.00 gift for your birthday when to sign up on their website. You must try the chicken parm for sure read more

Dining at Bellosimo was a poor experience. The food was lousy and the service was sub par. The chicken and cheese was super saturated with salt not to mention the chicken must have been the lowest quality available. It took 1.5 hours to bring us the wrong orders and omitting certain parts of our orders. Management kept saying they were sorry but they were busy. The food took so long some of the family had to have it wrapped up and was not able to eat with the entire family. The stern and non hospitable nature of management were extraordinary fast to clear the plates from people who were not finished eating. read more

Food and service were excellent! The staff worked smoothly and complimentary to one another.

Really good waited 45 minutes at 530PM So worth the wait, eggplant rollatini and veal Piccata the girls both had Lobster Ravioli. No dessert! A couple of other choices I have to try and we will be back!!! read more

I've been there 3 times in the past 1 1/2 months. Every time the Service and the food have been amazing. Love it. Gabrielle

Amazing hands down the food is so good - one night we had zucchini frita - delish and you must try the lemon chelo cake - never had cake like that in my life - service was good always make a reservation it's worth it. read more

Great inside and staff is friendly! Food was excellent and the place is packed. Highly recommend trying for a nice dinner

Went tonight for my Birthday dinner. It was amazing from bread to coffee. Had the special potato crusted sea bass which was amazing. Dessert, cheesecake so good, coffee, cappuccino was great. Can't wait to go back! read more

I went to Bellissimo's not too long ago to celebrate my mom's birthday. We got stuffed rigatoni, pasta in marinara sauce, and chicken francese. I don't like giving bad reviews but the food wasn't good. The stuffed rigatoni was soggy and didn't taste good. The owner knew we were not pleased with the stuffed rigatoni and nobody ate it but still got charged for it. The best part of the meal was that their service was friendly and fast and the bread was warm and tasty. But other than that, their tomato sauce wasn't good. My daughter got the kids pasta dish and it was so much smaller than the adult size and it was very expensive. $14 for a kids pasta. The chicken francese tasted like it should have been cooked more. read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Came here the other night for dinner after not being here in 2 years because of moving. The salad that comes prior to the entree is always so amazing! We got the regular fried calamari and an Asian inspired fried calamari which was delicious. Minor kick on the glaze but nothing too bad. I got the eggplant parmigiana which I always enjoy because it's not fried with pasta on the side. I tried some of my husbands chicken rollatini special which was also delicious. Got a bunch of cakes for dessert to share and my favorite as always was the chocolate mousse cake! I had my bridal shower here a few years ago and the service was amazing for the event. Highly recommend having your event here if having about 30 people or so as well read more

Great Italian Restaurant. This was our first time at Bellissimo and we were pleasantly surprise. They don't take reservations so expect to wait especially on Saturday night. We had to wait for about an hour but it was worth it. The service was good not great but the food was amazing and it is BYOB with a liquor store right next to the restaurant. They also have small outdoor seating but it was not used when we went. read more

If you're careening down Kinderkamack Road in Montvale looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience don't forget to jam on the brakes as you pass a non-descript strip mall anchored by a CVS and a liquor store (BYOB so you'll be glad it's there.) Bellissimo packs a punch offering a modern dining ambiance, a bricked outdoor sanctuary and a menu that delivers from the wonderful antipasto right through to their bust-a-gut dessert tray. Being Italian I prefer modern as the old world red velveteen wallpaper joints festooned with cherubic sconces and Venetian brothel design schemes are far too goomba for my taste. Where do I start? Homemade mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes followed by a perfect al dente pasta appetizer and a veal marsala the defies the doggie bag with each succulent bite of mushroom. No rush, attentive service and like I said, that dessert tray. Five easy stars. read more

The food was fabulous, the service impeccable and the ambiance was warm and welcoming.

I went here for Valentine's Day, and it was just lovely. We got bread (warm and crispy), house salads, they poured us up some (BYOB) wine. I got the lobster ravioli and it was seriously delicious...I would highly recommend. My boyfriend got the rigatoni bolognese and he enjoyed as well. Service was shockingly super fast despite it being a very busy dinner hour. The prices were not extreme either. No complaints. read more

Amazing dinner and ambiance with seating outside. What we got which was great: calamari and clams for appetizers, chicken parm and gnocchi dishes for dinner. read more

Had a great dinner at this restaurant today. For appetizers.We had tender fried calamari, burratta w a delicious pesto sauce and cherry tomatoes, mozzarella & prosciutto that was accompanied by the sweetest roasted Peppers. For our main courses we had an absolutely amazing special of the day which was a grouper dish, fettuccine Alfredo , which was very tasty but could have used more cheese, very tender veal scallopine, chicken Francese which had an abundance of delicious lemon sauce , stuffed rigatoni and the table favorite chicken Murphy which was amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and polite. We ate outside bc there was party going on inside but it was a beautiful day so it was very nice. Each meal came with a very nice individual salad. We then shared tartuffo, lava cake and carrot cake with delicious cappuccinos. Love this place. Chicken BalsamicoWe will be back ! read more

Bellissimo - Italian Near Me - Montvale, New Jersey

I was visiting family, and they decided that we should get takeout from Bellissimo, a local Italian spot that they had recently discovered and enjoyed. When I accompanied them inside to place our order, I was in awe of the upscale, sophisticated dining room and friendly service. Our meal was ready within the restaurant's 20-minute approximation and accurately included all of our selected items. We went back to their home to hungrily devour our substantial order. First, we ate the complimentary salads that accompanied our entrees. The side house salad was very basic, including lettuce, carrots, and red onion. My lettuce was turning a bit brown, but the well-seasoned vinaigrette that came on the side helped improve the status of the salad. Next, we shared a few pastas, including a "side order" of the Rigatoni Bolognese and a full portion of the Gluten-Free and Vegan Pasta. The side pasta dish was half the size of the full order, but was very generous in and of itself. The meat sauce was hearty and flavorful, but could have been a bit more seasoned. The vegan dish included sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, black olives, basil, garlic, and a touch of white wine, in a light tomato sauce. As with the other pasta course, I thought the sauce could have used some additional herbs and spices, and it was a bit too sugary. Both homemade pastas were also not served al dente and were more on the mushy side. My entrée, the Chicken Balsamico, on the other hand, was fabulous! It included 2 large, tender, and thinly-pounded chicken breasts that had been sautéed in a balsamic reduction with shitake mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. The rich mushrooms and tangy tomatoes were perfect complements to the poultry. As if these vegetables and starter salad were not enough, sides of roasted potatoes and sautéed mixed vegetables were plated with the chicken. Both of those items were terrific! Bellissimo was a gorgeous restaurant with gracious service and enjoyable food that I would certainly try again, though I would love to dine there next time. read more

Delicious as ever! Back in town for just one day, stopped for a lunch/ dinner break and loved every morsel. The guys are still doing a great job. Our waiter, \Omar, was excellent and didn't miss a beat. Thank you for continuing your delicious meals and service. Special of lamb osso busco and entree [, r veal piccatta were delicious, just as remembered. We're heading back to Massachusetts, we'll dined with memories that must last till we're back in town again. read more

Fantastic! I'm not an italian lover but I do have a a select two dishes I enjoy from time to time. This place hit it right on the head. My shrimp francese was perfect. The shrimp cocktail was big and the horseradish with it was on point. Service was super friendly and attentive but not too bothersome, just right. They have outside seating as well and a private lot but somehow always seems to be filled. I left happy and will be returning. read more

This week I decided to venture to this awesome Italian restaurant for vino and conversation. Bellissimo is tucked away in the corner of a small shopping mall on Kinderkamack and Franklin in Montvale, NJ. There is plenty of parking available. The food and professional staff are just simply amazing if I can add an extra star I would. You can bring your own and no cork fee. It was a delightful dining experience as they make you feel special. Restaurants like this will survive. Impeccably clean and friendly. We enjoyed the "Cappellini Bellissimo" (shrimp and arugula sautéed in a light tomato sauce) and Vitello Pizzaiola (sauteed mushrooms in a light marinara sauce). Grazie!!! read more

Always a nice experience. Staff is attentive, food is amazing and being a BYO makes it affordable and the drinks are just right.

I always love going to this place. Aside from the usual wait time, the food is well worth the effort. I love that it is BYOB, as there will always be what I like available, and the money savings is immense. The staff are always great, attentive and friendly. The place can get loud but that's because it's always packed. A testament to the quality of the food. read more
