One of my absolute favorites and during Restaurant Week, nonetheless! I absolutely love their Carrot Ginger Soup and their Crab Ravioli - the very best. Love the staff and always will love Bellissimo!

A family owned and run with a selection of Northern Italian cuisine. The vibe is friendly and the service is great. This was our third visit and we make it a point to eat here whenever we aren't in Fairfax CA

Excellent NYE dinner at Bellissimo. Service a bit slow but they appeared to be understaffed for NYE (at least at time of our 6 pm reservation), so no big deal. Food was superb =both my wife an I opted for the stuffed veal chops, Caesar salad, and cheesecake. I opted for a bottler of very good Valpolicelli that went very well with the veal. NYE at Bellissimo has become a tradition for us in resent years and ne we will definitely continue.

Bellissimo is a small cozy restaurant. The mussels were excellent and the entrees and dessert were good . Not amazing but good. When I booked the table for Christmas dinner, the website indicated only the regular menu but when we arrived we were told only the special Christmas menu was available. I cannot eat a three course meal so I had the appetizer, a bite of the entre and most of the dessert and ended up taking the main course of my meal home to be reheated in the microwave. That is not how I envisioned my Christmas dinner. Why do restaurants insist on only multi course and very expensive meals on holidays? The regular menu would have been perfect and I wouldn't have felt I had wasted money and food. If you want to enjoy wine with your meal, I would avoid the house wine.

Belissimo is a Fairfax City gem. Fantastic food and friendly staff. Enjoyed a seafood linguine this evening along with a delicious tiramisu for desert!

We were seated in a lovely alcove. Very private. I had the Caesar salad and then the seafood pasta special which were outstanding!! The tiramisu and cappuccino were the sweet capper to the evening. Will definitely be coming back

Bellissimo is always excellent food, service, ambiance. It is classic and timeless. We go for special occasions or anytime we feel like a good comfortable meal.

appetizer salals were good a little too heavy on the salad dressing ravioli ok veal scallopini ok

We really enjoyed our dinner at the Belissimo restaurant prior to our show at the Art's Center. The food was great as well as the service and ambiance.. I would only add that since we had noted to the hostess/waitress that we were going to the show after dinner, which would qualify us for the 10% discount, would have been nice if she had asked us to show our tickets if that was a prerequisite before bringing our bill and having to void it since it initially did not reflect the 10% discount.
The food was delicious and abundant, the prices are very fair and according to the quality of the food. The service was very cordial, attentive and made our meal experience very special.

Bellissimo was hands-down the best choice for our wedding rehearsal dinner. The best Italian food in the entire DMV! Everyone who came to our rehearsal dinner loved it and are still raving about the dishes. Also, the staff and wonderful family that runs the restaurant are so sweet. We really felt taken care of. Thank you for helping making our big day so special.

We have been there before a few years ago and thought is was very good. Not so good last night and will not go again. We were a party of 6 and 3 out of 6 meals were good and 3 were not. Waiter lectured us on how we should order our drinks in the future. Pasta was dry, shrimp like rubber. There was a small wedding group there which generated so much noise- happy for them but we were unable to have any conversation due to the noise. Appeared only 3 people working aside from kitchen staff so we got little attention once food was served. Considering the prices, we expected so much more.

We went on a very crowded night.but still the service by all was excellent and the food was outstanding. Also an excellent range in price and style of wine.

The food was quite good and the price was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. They appeared to be short-staffed when we were there, but otherwise, a very good experience.
