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

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

Came here for the first time recently for a family dinner and was not disappointed! My family can tend to be a bit opinionated when it comes to Italian food, but there wasn't a bit left on anyone's plate after this meal so needless to say it was delicious! We all opted for something different to try out the menu options. I ordered the pork cutlet Milanese, omg....delicious! Pork was super tender and cooked to perfection, topped with a crisp arugula salad. I probably could have eaten two, although the portion was large it was just that good! Other plates included the veal saltimboca, veal piccata, and a seafood pasta special. All were really fresh and as I mentioned, the plates left the table clean. We managed to save some room for dessert and ordered the creme brûlée cheesecake and tartufo. The cheesecake was delicious and had a different twist with the creme brûlée. As for covid policies, they are operating outside dining only. The have the whole patio available for tables as well as have extended into the a portion blocked off in the parking lot. We had a reservation so we sat quickly but there were quite a few people waiting upon departure so I recommend calling for a reservation. The employees were great and super attentive. The waiter checked in on us quite a few times as well as one of the managers and our water glasses were never empty. We brought our own bottle of wine, no corkage fee. Love it! Would definitely recommend to anyone that loves Italian food. Ideal for a family dinner or dinner date! read more

Bellissimo - Italian Near Me - Montvale, New Jersey

I've been dining here for years. They redid the Inside over a year ago and it's so much more "trendy Italian" if that makes sense. It really freshened the place up. Good lunch deals. Comes with soup, salad and an entree for just around $10. Of course an amazing warm bread as well. They are very accommodating when it comes to switching out sauces or making accommodations. Dinner always offers great specials in addition to their standard menu. Their mozzarella and prosciutto app is delicious. Tortellini alla Panna (meat tortellini with shallots, prosciutto and peas in a cream sauce) is something my friends from outside NJ crave and MUST have when they come to visit. Their fish is always fresh and that's what I tend to lean towards. Sometimes they tend to get extra busy which leaves the service a little eh but overall like I said i keep coming back. Great food and great location. A strip mall with ample parking. BYO and liquor store in same strip... perfecto. read more

Awesome experience! We were there for a surprise celebration for our son and his fiancée's engagement. There were 9 adults and 1 baby and they accommodated us so well. We were all so impressed with this restaurant from making the reservations, to the table setup when we arrived to the entire staff of servers who were so pleasant, helpful and attentive. They made the celebration even more special. Everything ran so smoothly. They even assisted us with letting us know when the guests of honor arrived and showed them to our table where we were all waiting to capture the surprise. The food was out of this world. Everyone commented that it was the best they have had. Thank you for making this surprise celebration perfect. read more

Pros- Good location and really nice outdoor seating. Cons- show up at the restaurant when they open at 11:30, I was told by the waiter that he didn't know what the specials were yet and five minutes later I hear him reading them off to the table next to us. Every single dish that I tasted was lacking salt. Pasta is À la cart and doesn't come with entrées. And it's BYOB so if you want a glass of wine do you have to go to the wine store next-door and purchase a bottle and then bring it to the restaurant. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This place is low rent ... $10 for an empty cannoli shell. Embarrassing doesn't cover it by any means. Not that any of what I'm writing means anything because everyone across the board is OK with subpar underachieving. This is cutting corners on an entirely new level of low. I've been served better quality at 7-11 Congratulations read more

I haven't reviewed this place since 2018 but figured it was time to do it again. This a great go-to for me and my girlfriends for a nice dinner out. Also a perfect date spot. BYO which is great. Just make sure to get your stuff beforehand because the liquor store next door is massively over priced. The service here is always top notch. All of the gentleman are friendly, courteous and helpful. The food is always consistently great! My go to is usually the Gnocchi Sorrentino with Vodka Sauce and it's so delicious. But last night I went with the Shrimp Francese. I almost cleaned my plate - which never happens. It was so perfect and tasty over the angel hair pasta. We also shared the creme brulee cheesecake which is to die for. Love this place!! Always great, always consistent! read more

Solid experience for Italian food, pretty attentive service, overall better than Momma's Kitchen. I've opted out of coming to this place a few times in the past because the parking lot is a bit of a pain and it can crowded. But if you come at an off hour it's fine. On weekends they only have a dinner menu. There are two parts to the restaurant and I prefer the smaller side because it's more intimate; the larger dining room has no partitions. They also have outdoor seating in summer. I had the special of spinach pasta with shitake mushrooms and beans and lobster tails and mussels ($34). The portion of seafood was good but I would say the beans feel a little of place. Other pasta, chicken, veal dishes will run you $16-28, so not a cheap place. The osso bucco also received rave reviews. I recommend and would return but didn't fall in love. read more

TWO STAR review. I really wanted to like Bellissimo but it fell flat. I even gave them 2 chances. The first was dine-in. I ordered the Cavatelli con Broccoli a/k/a broccoli pasta and I was underwhelmed to say the least. The pasta was overcooked and tasteless. I did not appreciate the mushy texture. And the broccoli wasn't much better. It was bland and I could taste that it was taken from the freezer. If I'm paying $19, I expect fresh broccoli. The small bits of sauteed garlic were the only edible thing on the dish. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. My hubby ordered the Fussilli Filetto Di Pomodoro and was less than enthused. We read great reviews and thought we maybe just ordered the wrong thing on the menu so we decided to give them another chance. This time we ordered from their lunch menu which comes with soup and salad. When we got home, we realized we weren't given any soup. My husband called the restaurant and their excuse was that soup is not given for take out orders. Where on the menu does it say that? We don't appreciate the bait and switch and would have been less upset if they had owned up to their mistake instead. I took off 1 star for shady business practices and false marketing. We ordered the shrimp scampi which came with exactly 3 measly shrimps. I'm not sure if anyone would be full from that. We also ordered the tilapia francese which was beyond sour possibly to mask the fishy smell? The clam linguine came with 2 clams. And there was only 1 salad dressing for 3 salads. How does that math work? Safe to say we will not be going back. P.S. I gave 2 stars, but my rating is hidden. read more

Ate here with my wife on a Sunday afternoon recently. We started with the fresh mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer which was wonderful. Next we enjoyed the nicely made house salads. As our main course my wife had the chicken parmigiana and I had the Zuppe Di Pesce. Both meals where nicely presented and tasted phenominal !! Note that this is a "bring your own" and have a nice bottle of vino with you. Staff was very courteous and we never felt rushed. read more

This was the best food we've had in years. We had a table of 6 and everyone was happy with everything. From the fresh bread, pasta fagioli, main courses to the desserts, we were all raving. I had chicken francese -- tender, juicy chicken in a fabulous sauce. Sea bass, and veal were also terrific. Service was just right -- we had to wait a tiny bit for the main courses but I'm sure that's because they were carefully prepared, including following some peculiar dietary restrictions. Make a reservation, the p[lace was packed on a Wednesday night. read more
