- CChristopherVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •15 reviews5.0Dined on May 24, 2025A Truly Unforgettable Dining Experience at Bellissimo Restaurant From the moment we walked into Bellissimo Restaurant in Fairfax, we knew we were in for something special. Every aspect of our experience — from the food to the service — was absolutely incredible. We started with the mussels and burrata appetizers, and both were bursting with flavor. The mussels were perfectly cooked in a savory broth that we couldn’t stop dipping our bread into, while the burrata was fresh, creamy, and paired beautifully with its accompaniments. For the main course, we were blown away by the seafood pasta and the angel hair pasta — each dish prepared with such finesse and attention to detail. The seafood was fresh, tender, and plentiful, nestled in a perfectly balanced sauce. The angel hair was delicate and flavorful, cooked to perfection. We also tried two of the veal dishes, and they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious — rich, comforting, and expertly seasoned. All paired perfectly with a bottle of Prossecco and 2 bottles of Red Wine-Primitivo. What truly elevated the entire experience was the impeccable service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel welcome and cared for throughout the meal. Bellissimo is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just craving an exceptional Italian meal, this place is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!More infoBellissimo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Fairfax•4.6
