This restaurant doesn’t know what it wants to be. The entrance has a wall covered in an image of an Asian city. The motif seems to convey a Mexican restaurant. When you finally enter the dining room, it’s unclear if the decor is Greek or Italian. Yea, except for the mural of Venice on one wall. The menu has the name of the bar on it, not Bella Fiore. The restaurant will benefit from a refurbishment. Lighten it up, simplify it. Please replace the dead plants in the entry way. There are plants that are happy in the cold and early spring. The ugly fake tree by the waterfall & the dead plants negate the “beautiful flower” name. Pity to waste an opportunity to have fresh flowers to get greet the customers.Wow. That waterfall is impressive.The food is solid. I’d go back only for the food. Wine list seems to be done by a distributor rather than someone who cares about Italian wine.Wait staff need to be trained. Don’t reach across other the diners. Walk around.They tried to charge us $12 for each glass of wine. But I was VERY specific when ordering “house” Pinot Grigio. Check your bill.Prices are ok.

This place is a hidden gem! The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. We went before a show at Mohegan. They accommodated us at the bar even though we arrived before they officially opened. Couldn't have asked for a better experience for out group of 13!

What a fabulous Italian restaurant find! We wanted dinner before our Mohegan Sun show, but were unable to make a reservation at any of the restaurants there. We chose to look off property and were so thrilled with BELLA FIORE Restaurant. The atmosphere, the service and the food was just amazing! In the future, we will not hesitate and just head to this fabulous restaurant!!!

Not sure what happened but they wholly forgot two tables on the floor and mine was one of them. We arrived at 530 for dinner before an event at Mohegan that started at 8. We got two rounds of drinks and appetizers in perfect timing. We waited for our dinners but they never came. After saying something to our waiter at 7 o'clock, only then did we start getting our food. One dish at a time, like they were just starting to make them at 7 after we said something. We didn't have time to eat once everything came out just before 730. We boxed everything up and had to leave. They did try to make up for it by offering us a free round of drinks, but instead, because it was too late to pound drinks, they gave us a $50 gift certificate which we likely will regift because we won't be going back. Nice enough people, but can't rate the food because we didn't have time to eat.

Great scallops and mussels!

Great, great cozy place near Mohegan Sun. Perfect service. Our wait person was Bella who was lovely. The food is very good. Portions are generous, but not excessive. I ordered clams over linguine and the clams were delicious in a Scampi-like sauce. The garlic crisps before the meal were salty and warm. After dinner espresso was perfect. I would return anytime ?
Bella Fiore was a great disappointment, first time going and it was extremely hard to understand how it had such great reviews almost made me think the reviews were generated by bots. Two people no alcohol plus tip out bill was $133 , i would have been happier spending 33$ at McDonalds and throwing the $100 bill out the window. The garlic bread had to have been one of the worst garlic breads i ever had almost no garlic and the cheese was on the wrong side of the bread. SMH !! How is this a high 4 star rated restaurant.
The service was excellent. They are a well oiled machine with attentive, courteous staff. The food was very mediocre and you got very little for the price. I got the scallops in cream sauce appetizer. The scallops were FEW and TINY in a big plate. The sauce was great for dipping though. The garlic bread had no actual garlic on it. It was dry and all garlic powder. It did have a good crisp though. I ordered the Surf and Turf which was tenderloin medallions plus shrimp scampi. I got two Uber thin medallions with two shrimp on top. No linguini. Just small broccoli and some red potatoes. My girlfriend got the Tenderloin and portobello mushroom entree. Again, small thin medallions. Both entrees were ordered medium rare and were received closer to medium. The portobello mushrooms were excellent. Juicy in a nice sauce. The ambiance is nice and has more potential. The acoustics aren't great so it gets noisy quickly. But the nice booth table was intimate and made it easy to interact with the service staff.

The food was delicious, service was prompt, the prices were more than reasonable and I have never experienced better customer service—the kindest and most attentive staff. Perfect date night spot.

Everything about our experience was wonderful! The staff is attentive and prompt, ambiance lovely and the food delicious...and do hot and fresh that we had to give it few minutes before we could eat it! Highly recommended!
The food was delicious, the service & staff were excellent! The owner & the owner's son stopped at our table which was appreciated. The prices were very reasonable, will definitely attend again.

Should not be charged for refills on soda for the price of the meals. My filet medallions were ordered for medium, I received well done. One was till tender, but the other was firm, almost hard. My wine glass was huge, but I only received a very small amount of wine even though I paid $12 for the glass.

Was here a year ago for a birthday dinner. Service was impeccable and food was divine. They were short staffed and didn't miss a step in hospitality. We will be back again this year for a 2nd time for a birthday dinner.

Thurs 1/25/2024 - My wife and I ate there last night and we brought friends. It was prime dinner time and yet their business was slow which is difficult to understand because the atmosphere, and service, and cuisine were all 5 star. I will admit that dinner here can be pricey especially when they charge $12.00 for a glass of wine but if you come in time for the early bird specials you get a delicious 3 course meal: salad or soup, main course, and dessert for $24.95 with many-many main courses to choose from. We have been coming here for years and always have been very happy with our dining experience. give it a try, you will be glad you did.
