After so many enjoyable times here we are very disappointed in how we were treated, ignored, and stuck at a table so small I kept having to move glasses and food around like I was playing chess! Never again!!

Such friendly staff! Delicious food. Service is a little slow as the food takes some time to arrive but once it does, it’s definitely worth the wait and every bite… the outdoor area is nice. The indoor seating is cozy but not the prettiest. Recommended for family outings or lunch date with friends.
Ps, they have the BEST pesto pasta.

Update 2024: Went here for date night and loved it again. The eggplant parm was fantastic and I got a side of Penne vodka which was delicious. My wife got the Chicken Milanese which is usually only on the lunch menu, but they made it for her upon request. It was fantastic as well. We also got the Calamari with hot cherry peppers and gorgonzola and that was delicious too. We came at 6 PM on a Saturday and were seated right away and service was fantastic!
Old review: Went here with my wife tonight. Although they were quite busy, we were seated very quickly. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable and made our experience that much better.
I ordered the penne vodka and my wife ordered the chicken parmesan. Before our dinners came we were brought awesome and I mean awesome fresh rolls with roasted garlic in oil. The oil and roasted garlic combined with the rolls was soooooooooo good. We then both got salads that were a good size of fresh greens that we both really enjoyed.
When it came to our meals, they were both very large portions.(you can see what's left after we were done in my picture) Neither of us were able to finish, but we both thought the dishes were superb. We will definitely be going back in the future.

Our second visit to Bella’Gio was underwhelming for a few different reasons. The calamari was just okay, although it did come out fast. After receiving the calamari and ordering our entrees we didn’t see our server for quite a long time.
The chicken Marsala had a very unpleasant rubbery texture (it might have been over beaten to flatten it out), and our entrees took a very long time to arrive (the restaurant wasn’t too busy). And when they did arrive, my fiancé had to wait another 5-10 minutes until the sides arrived. The penne vodka was pretty good.
The outdoor patio with heaters is a definite positive for atmosphere. The interior atmosphere is lacking.
Considering the lack of quality for the calamari and chicken Marsala, the food is overpriced and not worth it. We won’t return.

Our first visit to Bella’Gio was a delightful surprise—a true hidden gem! The service was impeccable, with every staff member greeting us warmly. It felt like dining in grandma’s kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were both fun and flavorful. Bella’Gio is definitely a must-try!

Went for anniversary dinner. Waited an hour and fifteen minutes for food to the point we couldn't wait any longer so we left. The tables around us were complaining of the wait time as well and it didn't even seem that busy. Very disappointed.

Everything was just meh. The waitress wasn’t very attentive she disappeared a lot. The bread was hard and cold, sausage and broccoli rabe was giant pile of rabe and some skinny sausage. Got the chicken bellagio and the chicken was paper thin with another giant pile of spinach. Just seemed like they were cutting corners. But the margarita pizza was very good. Kinda disappointing since it was our first wedding anniversary.
Beautiful restaurant great outdoor space, received solid service. Unfortunately, the food was marginal. Started us out with tasteless semi stale bread. I ordered eggplant Parmesan. It was thick heavily breaded had the skin and the tomato sauce was pedestrian at best. I’ve been here before and enjoyed appetizers, but I was very disappointed with dinner. The ultimate kicker was the $48 bottle of Josh Cabernet. I understand food cost are very high and restaurants need to make profit on their beverages, but I can buy that bottle of wine for $13 at a liquor store so to basically quadruple it is usurious in my opinion.

Visited for the first time after seeing an Instagram ad for the place. The frontage doesn't do the inside or back patio justice. The food was fantastic, and portions were very generous. The staff was professional and knowledgeable. A great choice in this area

A top-notch place here in Cheshire! I was blessed to be taken there 2 weeks ago for my birthday and again today for a birthday celebration. For one meal I had their cod, and today I had a Caesar salad with shrimp! My usual favorite is the chicken marsala! The food is delicious. Our server was lovely, and the grounds are so tastefully done.

Bella Gio in Cheshire is a true Italian delight housed in a beautiful brick building. The charming ambiance perfectly complements the delicious, authentic cuisine. Whether you're there for pasta, pizza, or a glass of wine, it's a dining experience you won't want to miss!
