Probably the only "Italian" place in the world that served an Affogato with Salted Vanilla Ice Cream (I scream) !

Excellent food and service. Small space and noise travels easy, nothing on the walls to help with noise. We were seated next to a table of six off to the side and could hardly hear each other speak.

Our new favorite restaurant. The freshest pasta you can find. Surprised there aren’t more reviews but we just discovered this place ourselves.

Oh my goodness!!! My husband and I went here last night and I'm still talking about the food! I had been craving a genuine Alfredo for as long as I can remember, and this spot nailed it! My husband had lamb and it was cooked to perfection. This is one of our new favorites and we look forward to returning!

Very slow, no lasagna available at 7 pm, food mediocre at best. Pleasant wait staff.

This place is AMAZING.I used to work here, and from someone who has worked at many dining spots before, THIS restaurant does everything right. I cannot tell you how much care this place puts into everything - the cleanliness, quality of the food, and the little things that just make the dining experience special, EVERYTHING. The drinks are delicious, I would go just for their cocktails. The coffee is top notch, the food is without a doubt the best food I've ever tasted (and I could never get sick of it). Part of my praise for the food comes from knowing that everything is fresh and homemade, the cooks are incredibly talented and put so much effort into making sure every dish is perfect. The quality is consistent, the serving staff there are some of the kindest people I've ever met, and the atmosphere is wonderfully cozy.I normally don't ever leave reviews of restaurants I have worked at, but this one deserves high praise. Without a doubt the best Italian place in town.Vegetarian options: They offer vegetarian and vegan options.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant always checks for allergies and dietary restrictions. They have Gluten Free pasta and other options, and are very precautious with allergies.

Four of us on a work conference and went here for dinner as it was highly recommended and it did not disappoint! The muscles in white wine sauce was so good we had to order more toasted bread for dipping. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so full of flavour and deep in taste. The seafood linguine was tasty and perfectly seasoned. We wished we had found this gem sooner as we would have eaten here again.

Last year we went to Bellissimo for our fourth anniversary, this year I took Kendra there for our fifth, the night I proposed to her. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant. From the moment I booked it, they were so helpful with the planning - arranging to have my flowers and wine at the table, and making sure we got the spot we wanted. Rebecca was amazing as a server, and Joey has made nothing but the absolute best food every time. If you are in St. John's, visiting or living, you owe it to yourself to visit this place for lunch or dinner. They put 110% into everything, and you will never be disappointed!!
also, be sure to try the bruschetta. don't save room for dessert, just force yourself through to dessert against all odds - its worth it!

We had a very long wait for our dinner which was a simple salad and spaghetti with meat balls. The chef was cooking one meal at a time and even for a small place it took a while. The spaghetti was good, didn't care for the balls. Our server was great and the atmosphere fine. I would go back to try the espresso side of things.
