This beautiful winery gives small Italian village energy, and the atmosphere felt so serene. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, sip wine, and just soak it all in. I had the penne al forno paired with a lovely red blend (I forgot the name, but trust me, it was delicious). And I have to give a special shoutout to Alexis, my waitress, she was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back when the weather breaks to tour the vineyard. If you're looking for a little escape, Villa Bellezza is worth the trip.

When we arrived we were seated quickly at a nice table in a themed Italian space. We had the Calamari, an the Escargot. And finished with a piece of their homemade Tiramisu. All were very tasty: Calamari was a crispy, well flavored rings (darn I like the little squid) with a good sauce. The Escargot were plump and the garlic butter they came with was delicious, used the bread (very nice Baguette) to sop it up an hold an Escargot! A finished with the Tiramisu which was everything a good homemade desert should be ! The only suggestion would be to up the presentation on the plate of both of the dish's; the calamari and the escargot But had nothing to do with taste, which was excellent.

The waiter and bus staff were great at getting our requests and being prompt with everything. The food was great & good. All of the food was served fresh and hot as it should be. They have a great house Chianti that is reasonably priced by the bottle. The filet special was out of this world awesome. Cooked perfectly medium rare, the cut was top shelf and flavor was incredible. The whole dish was excellent with the mushroom red wine reduction on top providing that blast of flavors that complemented a filet. I may get this every time if they continue to have it on the menu. The fettuccine alfredo was good. The pasta was home-made and cooked perfectly. The sauce was a bit bland and was missing something. Maybe some more parmesan, maybe just salt, not sure but while it was good, it lacked the big creamy flavor that alfredo should have. Chicken was very good, grilled and tender. So this one was "Good" The seafood special was another "Good" one. The shirimp was done perfectly but the rest of the seafood was maybe just a touch overcooked. The sauce was a cream sauce but like the alfredo it lacked just a bit of flavor that would have made it a superb meal. Many guests will love that we have a very good Italian place again in North Hudson as it's part of the heritage of the community. We will go back for sure!! CM

Food is good quality and portions are healthy. Bread, olive oil and parmesan cheese is a great appetizer provided. My only knock about the food is there's too much cheese on the pizza for a Neapolitan style pizza, but it is Wisconsin and the home of curd town. Live music and the open grounds on a beautiful evening can't be beat. They also provide short wagon a tractor rides through out the evening. The last time we were there we watched two hot air balls launch from the grounds.

A pretty nice wine place deep in the valley in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin…read more They said the seating was all full up top but we could sit at the lower bar or at the bottom, which wasn't an issue at all except that they were still a few hours out from close and had plenty of empty seats up top, and no new reservations or anyone came to ever fill them up until close (we left just a few minutes before closing). So I guess they just didn't want us to sit there? Idk. Lots of games, and even though it's outdoors it can be VERY noisy - lots of parties going on here. Big menu though, and obviously, some of the most gorgeous scenic views you can imagine down here. The vineyard also looked so good. Unfortunately they can't actually grow their own wine here. The soil is too sandy, even for WI/MN specialty grapes. So while they're trying, they just get their label of wine from Minnesota somewhere else instead. Still local enough, so that's okay for me - I would've been pissed if we came down here and all they had was California wine relabeled with a Wisconsin sticker, I can't stand that. So I'm glad they still had local options, local enough. Overall, a really nice place!

Visiting from out of town for work and heard this spot was good. I would not recommend this spot at…read moreall. The pros: portion sizes are huge, chicken tasted good The cons: waiter did not stop by the table once, my water was empty within the first 10 min of sitting there and i had to take my cup physically up to the counter to get water from them because i was so thirsty. I didnt see him once after that, he just stood up at the counter talking to the other server. The pasta was oily, they put so much cheese on everything that the oils from the cheese come out and my pasta literally had a layer of oil all around the plate. The mozzerella garlic bread barely had any garlic bread taste, tasted mostly like mozzerella. The mozzerella was also so oily that the garlic bread was just soggy 5 min after the waiter put the plate down. The price is steep, by myself i got an app and an entree only and it came out to 48$ before tip. Overall, for a spot with the reviews it has it completely let me down along with the locals who recommended it to me.

It should be noted that I've never actually set foot inside Bella Ciao Pasta Bar and Ristorante. I…read moreonly experienced it today through the lens of a takeout container. For lunch, I ordered the Chicken Marsala. You get to choose a side; options ranging from Alfredo Fettuccine to Green Beans to Mashed Potatoes to Spaghetti Marinara. I went for the Spaghetti. The meal also came with two breadsticks. Overall, the dish was decent but not remarkable. The highlight was the mushrooms in the Marsala wine sauce. They were flavorful and well prepared. The chicken itself was just okay. Without the sauce, it lacked seasoning, and the texture varied throughout the breast, with some parts tender and others noticeably tough or chewy. The spaghetti was good, though comparable to standard spaghetti you might find anywhere. The breadsticks, however, were disappointing; they were extremely hard and not enjoyable to eat. I also wish the Chicken Marsala and the spaghetti were packaged separately. Because of the amount of sauce, everything blended together in the container. I don't mind my food touching, but separating the items would make for a better presentation and texture. I do think other menu items may have more to offer. One mediocre experience isn't enough for me to write off the restaurant entirely, so I would consider trying something else in the future. However, I wouldn't recommend this particular dish based on today's order. Overall rating: 3/5.

They also have a couple specials that change every week so you can always try something new. Today we lucked out with delicious crab cakes! We also ordered the focaccia, ziti, risotto, chicken parm rigatoni and olive oil ice cream. Needless to say, we were very full when we left and had plenty of leftovers! It's a small space so definitely try to make a reservation to ensure a seat. I get the impression it's busy most nights!

Definitely a bit more rushed feeling with the 90 minute deadline as per usual (still completely get this but wish it could be a bit more flexible for a larger group), but still adored everything we ate and that's why olio still gets top marks. Things to get: -Focaccia- I always love the focaccia and think it plus the red sauce are worth ordering. -Burnt carrots- The burnt carrots were an unexpected surprise that I would definitely recommend. Fun flavors -Pretty much any pasta: casarecce, paccheri, spaghetti Nero. All so unique and delicious in their own ways. Up to you: -Brussels sprouts-still good, just preferred the carrots -Desserts: I preferred the ice cream to the cake. The cake was a bit too dense for my liking but others in my party liked it.

The Italian culture shines through as you can order just about any type of pasta here but the staple items tend to be ravioli and cavatille. The sausage is 100% made in house but many believe it comes from Louie's Meats, which is not true. Normally, I'd get a meatball with my pasta but not here. Sausage all the time! Many of the meals are served with a side salad and a basket of breadsticks for the entire table. Recently under new ownership, there has been a slight uptick in menu options and Bona Casa now carries pesto sauce (which previously never existed) along with a facelift of decor. The staff here works extremely hard for their customers. If you're in the area, swing by! They still have their frozen options, take outs and classic pizzelles.

We made reservations and were seated right away, which was a great start. The host was friendly, and our server was attentive without being overbearing--checking in regularly on drinks and making sure everything tasted right. We kicked things off with the buffalo wings. They had great flavor without too much heat, which I personally enjoyed. For the main course, I went with the burger, and my wife ordered the rigatoni alla vodka. My burger was filling, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. The bun was just a touch on the firm side (I'll admit, I'm a bit of a burger snob), but overall it was very good. The fries, though, were excellent--definitely a highlight. My wife really enjoyed her dish as well--the sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy. She mentioned it could've used a little fresh Parmesan and a bit more heat, since she likes some spice, but overall she was happy with it. Since it was her birthday they gave us a free desert and the server mentions the bread pudding which was very tasty. Overall, a great experience with good food, solid service, and a nice atmosphere. We'd definitely come back.
