Reviews Bellisio's Italian Restaurant And Wine Bar

My wife and I were there this weekend for our anniversary. The thing that brought us in was your large gluten free menu. We arrived about 2:45 but it was advised that we would have a better menu to choose from at 5:00. We arrived back shortly after 5:00 and were seated promptly. I loved the fact that although we were not dressed the part of fancy not once did I feel uncomfortable. This is a true 5 star restaurant without the snob. Our waitress was fantastic and very patient as I waded through the fantastic descriptions. She continued to answer questions and recommend accordingly. All this and we haven't even ordered yet. We started off with the Olives as an appetizer and they were everything you could hope for in an olive platter. I didn't have high hopes, but they were very flavorful and impressive. We each had a Caesar Salad and were amazed by the flavor. This is not an "American" Caesar, the flavor popped and the Parmigiano-Reggiano l literally melted in your mouth. My wife ordered Rigatoni Balsamico (Gluten free) and she LOVED it. The flavors melded together and the noodles were cooked perfectly, which is always a concern with gluten free. I'm sure she is enjoying the left overs for lunch today as much as she enjoyed it the first time. I ordered the Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto as I had never had risotto before and if you are going to have it someplace this seamed like the place. And I was right. The rice was cooked (what I assume was) perfectly and the flavors were paired well together. Every bite had large chunks of shrimp and the asparagus was cooked perfect! We couldn't leave without dessert and that's saying something as we are usually not dessert people, but that Crème Brulee looked perfect, and it was. We appreciate the kind gesture of recognizing our Anniversary too! The price was up there for the entire meal but they deserved every penny. My wife has been very clear that we will be back and I'm not one to argue with such great wisdom!

I can not say enough good about our experience at Bellisio's! My son had the Fettuccine Alfredo and Escargot and myself the Caesar Salad with Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto. WOW what a great meal and the huge portion was perfect after a long day of urban hiking and taking in the airshow. Even though they were very busy when we were drawn in by the amazing aroma flowing through the streets of canal park, the staff found us seating within minutes. Our waitress Alexia was second to none as she made us feel like we were the only table in the place, regardless of the fact we had been on the trail all day and I'm sure we had a less then appealing aroma of our own. Thank You Alexia you went above and beyond with friendliness and professionalism you nailed it!

Amazing food, service & atmosphere! If you haven't had the steak it's a must "Over the Top"! Wine & drink list incredible. Try an Italian Mule. Desserts if you're in the mood for Chocolate the Lava Cake & the Carrot Cake is amazing & enough for 4 people! Hats off to the staff for always making it a fantastic dining experience.

Excellent service and food. Our server recommend the best chardonnay with my shrimp scampi.

Amazing! My husband and I went here for our one year wedding anniversary on Sunday night. Our server was so professional, and classy. She came to our table at the exact right moments to check up on us. My husband was disappointed the rack of pork was gone, he really wanted to try that. But he managed to find something else on the menu that he wanted to try and loved it! Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, food and wine!! Next time we are in Duluth, we will be back!

In the past this restaurant has always been fabulous, a little more upscale than others in the area and a little quieter setting. We now have a 9 month old and we were unsure of how supper would go, but we really wanted to eat here as it was our anniversary. He was the only infant in the place but he did great and our waiter was wonderful, you could tell he liked kids. He made us feel very welcomed. The food was wonderful as usual. The Chicken Pancetta and Chicken Marsala were delicious! Don't skip the Black cherry amaretto cheesecake! Worth every penny!

Over the years , Belisios has never ceased to amaze me , with their quality of food and wine, and the professionalism of the staff to help make dinning out, such an enjoyable experience. Whether it be salads, steaks , seafood , pasta or wines , I have never left, with less than an exceptional culinary experience. Hats off to such a job well done.

Amazing food, great service. Chelsea is awesome! What a sweet little spot in town, I'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere was Italian themed, dim lighting, but very comfortable. Service was amazing. But most of all, the food was phenomenal. The Chicken Marsala was cooked right. Portions are satisfying. Definitely reccomend for a nicer casual style dining arrangements. Whether its a special occasion anniversary, first or second date, etc.

Great service and even better food. Steak is to die for. Lovely atmosphere as well!
