I was a bit disappointed with the food during my visit. The vodka rosé pasta reminded me of Kraft Dinner, and the mussels came in a meat sauce that I found a little off-putting. The risotto was okay. The service could have been better as well, as our waitress seemed somewhat standoffish. Super expensive too for the quality.

The food is absolutely delicious. My personal favorite menu item is the soup and my husband's is the cannoli. We live 8 hours away and make sure we visit Bellisimo every time we are in the city!

Had a disappointing experience my first time dining here. My partner loves pasta and Italian food, and we thought the pasta was made fresh. Unfortunately after we received our meals we could immediately tell it was not fresh pasta at all. Asked the server, and she said only some of the dishes are made from fresh pasta, neither of which we ordered. Seems outrageous to pay $30 for a plate of box spaghetti.

Supreme Chicken Alfredo - best I've had. Fantastic tiramisu (and I am a connoisseur of tiramisu, if I do say myself). Service was friendly, fast and helpful, with advice and arranging takeout of the tiramisu. Nice atmosphere and music. Good separation of tables for privacy. Went on a Thursday night without a reservation. But I think we were just lucky and only two. Recommend a reservation. Definitely will return if in St. John's. Have already recommended it to friends.

Nice atmosphere, server was disinterested, did not return for drink order after our initial order, I ordered chicken parmigiana which didn’t come with any pasta, never seen this before. The server did not offer parm cheese or pepper with our meals.

Service was great. Staff were very polite and accommodating. I had the mussel and linguine pasta and it was very good. Recommend this to others!

Lovely restaurant!

We had the bruschetta, lasagna, pasta a la vodka, and tiramisu for dessert - all of which were phenomenal. Their drink specials - a cherry hugo spritz and spicy margarita - were also delicious.

The service was exceptional. We visited during what seemed to be their dinner rush; however, everything ran very smoothly. The servers were exceptionally kind and welcoming.

Our first time but most definitely not our last at Bellissimo. Thank you for a lovely dinner experience 🇮🇹 ❤️

Unreal food, great service. Must try for real Italian food. Only complaint is the echo inside made it loud with everyone talking. Some accoustic panels would help.

Came to Bellissimo a couple weeks ago when I was visiting St Johns! What a great little bistro! The team who worked there were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient! Food was delicious! Restaurant was clean, and had a great atmosphere! I went an hour to closing, so I had no trouble getting a table! I would highly recommend visiting for lunch or supper!!

Great food, great atmosphere, lovely place, highly recommend you visit here to eat
