It was a truly spectacular experience from start to finish. While the ambiance is beautiful and the food consistently outstanding, what truly made our evening was our server, Simona. Simona was the definition of professionalism and personalized care. She greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu and the excellent wine list. Her recommendations were spot-on! What impressed us most was Simona's attention to detail. Our water glasses were always full, courses were timed perfectly. It's this level of thoughtful service that elevates a great meal into a truly memorable event. Simona went above and beyond to ensure we felt like VIPs. We can't recommend Il Bel Lago enough. We will certainly be back!
Great food and ambience. Shockingly quiet for a full room which you never see anywhere. Beautiful presentation and delicious. Nice wine selections but the bar pours were a bit light for the cost. Will continue to return. Carmelo and Frank are the best
The food, service and ambiance is excellent. This has quickly become our favorite Italian restaurant.
Always amazing! They have set the bar high for service, food, value and always maintain that level!
Always a fantastic meal with excellent service. Very accommodating to any special requests. Highly recommended!!
We went there for an early birthday dinner. My meal the risotto was delicious but my spouses steak was tough, he didn't say anything because didn't want to upset my bday meal.
High recommended and the food and service were both exceptional. Very attentive wait staff, varied menu, great specials and the staff provided lots of recommendation and ways to make the most of the evening. Ambience is perfect for a business dinner, date night or sophisticated outing and I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
We had dinner out on the patio, so it was quiet, just the noise from the fountain. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating. He didn't rush us. He recited the especials of the evening like a pro. We split a Caesar salad because he said they were large enough to split. It was not the authentic Caesar salad we are used to. It lacked the tang of the anchovy dressing; it was dry and uninspiring. The bread was a pleasant surprise, it was more like a French baguette, crunchy and well-seasoned with garlic and parmesan. Yummy. My husband had the lasagna, which he said was excellent. Lighter than other lasagnas he's ever had. I had the Chilean seabass. It was perfectly cooked in a very light citrusy sauce. It was accompanied by sauté spinach, broccolini and a small mound of potato puree. It was delicious. Very well proportioned if one is eating other courses too. the presentation was beautiful. We will return. Very good meal.
Great tortellini and a limoncello martini

This was a great experience. The beautiful dining area, especially the booths, allow for conversation rarely enabled in today's bistros. Service was spot on and the food was delicious.

Always an enjoyable time at Il Bel Lago. Food and service were great. Our server, Sarah, always makes sure things run smoothly.
We had an excellent time! Our waiter was wonderful. Kind, paid great attention to us, and took great care of our needs. We will be back soon! Our food was still tasty the next day as leftovers!
5 retired former partners in a medical practice had a reunion lunch at Il Bel Lago. We requested a quiet table and we were seated in a private dining alcove which was perfect for us. There was a lunch special of sea bass prepared Sicilian style which was delicious. All of the lunch entrees were tasty and given the elegant but not stuffy setting and fine dining experience, we felt that we received excellent value as well. Our server, Sarah, took great care of us. She delivered friendly, competent, and professional service and especially with our most senior partner, who had some special needs. Highly recommended for any occasion, but certainly for any special occasion where Il Bel Lago goes above and beyond.
Greeted promptly and our waiter, John was so attentive. Guided us thru the drink and regular menu with a lot of knowledge of the dishes and drinks. Made a special effort for the grandchildren to find something suitable for them. Drinks arrived promptly and split our salads to ensure we were covered. Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. Enjoyed the extra garlic cheese bread that John provided. Enjoyable dinner v
IL Bel Lago was a great place to have lunch with friends. They took good care of a big group and both food and service were terrific.
