This easygoing Italian restaurant boasts more than 500 wines, plus pasta, salads & an outdoor patio.
Bellisio’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar conjures up images of highly skilled chefs, fine wines, superb service, and fresh Italian food. And while this is most certainly true, one must not forget that Bellisio’s is above all, an experience. An exceptional dining experience, to be precise, but one that happens to take place in a casual atmosphere reminiscent of the quaint eateries and wine bars of the Italian countryside. The wine menu, bestowed The Award Of Excellence every year by Wine Spectator since the restaurants opening in 1999, is second to no other! Imported direct from Italy is all the beauty, comfort, romance, and glorious food and wine under the Tuscan sun. It’s not too much or too little.
