The fettuccine alfredo was absolutely outstanding, the best I've ever had so please trust me on this! I'm always leery of the sauce so I asked for a taste prior and oh, my gosh! I ordered it with chicken after we ended up splitting the lobscargot (escargot with lobster) which was out of this world. I'm also always curious about tiramisu and you can also rest assured this is absolutely fantastic. Hubby had the bolognese which he loved~ he tries it often and this was delicious. I wish this place wasn't eight hours away but anytime we're in Minnesota, we will be visiting!

Surprised how long we had to wait for our table being we had a reservation. Was disappointed that there the waiter said they had no Italian Red Roscato wine 🍷 on large menu. No salads, with meal prior, no bread, unless ordered prior. Prices are high for what you get. Service was average. Would return food was good.

Had reservations and ate in the dining room. Felt rushed. Risotto was good, spinach side was good. Ordered a salad with pine nuts and parmigiana. It came with way too much dressing and I couldn’t eat it. Order it in the side. Their bolognese was flavorless and watery. The server didn’t even ask me how the food was. It was overpriced and not at all like it was years ago. I felt like I was at a fast food Olive garden place. We were so looking forward to going back there after 10 years.

I had the special of the evening, which was Seabass. It was cooked perfectly with a little broccolini.. I also had the half Caesar salad prior to my meal it had just the right amount of vinaigrette salad dressing, and the breadcrumbs were delicious . It is a special dining atmosphere with walls of wine and good music, playing even some Italian opera. I would recommend this to couples and or business groups that want a special evening out.

Service was excellent, our server Tara, had great wine and food suggestions, the food was great, a lot of gluten free options on the menu and suggested by Tara, a massive Wine Menu, with 50%off on Monday’s, a delicious Crème Brûlée and tasty truffles to take home! I will again when I come back to Duluth!

We wouldn't return if dinner was free. They earned one star for the $6.50 fresh bread basket. When the caeser salad was brought out, the lettuce was not torn up. Only 1/2 of the lettuce pieces had a light drizzle of dressing. The fettucine alfredo was floating in butter. No flavor. Despite adding a bunch of pepper, after one bite, it wasn't worth eating and I was hungry. The arrabiata dish my husband had wasn't the slightest bit spicy. I took the dish apart looking for red pepper flakes and didn't find any. The lack luster service wasn't even worth one star. You will need a reservation to dine here. Otherwise, you can sit in the bar and eat at a high top table if they have an open table.

We love the ambiance and the food here. We came with our adult son for our anniversary. The only thing that we rate a little lower is the value. The prices seem a bit high. I had a lovely spaghetti dish with andouille sausage which was very tasty and simple but pretty expensive for what the dish is and to add on a salad and extras rings up the bill quickly. To sum it up, great place to come for a special occasion.

Bellisio's is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area. It's a bit on the pricy side, but the food and service are always worth it. The menu features classic Italian dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I've tried a few different things on the menu, and everything I've had has been delicious. My favorites are the Shrimp Scampi, Lobster & Shrimp Linguini and the Bolognese alla Bellisio's. The wine list is also extensive and it allows you choose the perfect wine to pair with your meal. The atmosphere at Bellisio's is elegant and sophisticated. The dining room is spacious and well-appointed, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Overall, Bellisio's is a great choice for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. It's a bit pricey for someone who would love to go every day, but the food and service are top-notch.

Everyone was very considerate and helpful. We were able to get in a little early, which was great. The server was excellent and knowledgeable about the offerings. The food was excellent. The three of us all agreed. Servings were more than adequate, and two of us took some home. Our server offered to box portion of our meals. Parking was very convenient--especially for three "tired, old men."

It was a very nice evening. Everything was excellent. However, I do have comments about the area where I was seated. I was a single diner and given a smaller table in the left side of the main dining room, right around the corner to the left. It was a nice little spot but , WOW, did it ever focus the sound / noise. It was fortunate that I was by myself because a conversation would have been impossible. Any sound deadening measures would be helpful. I really enjoy dining at Belissio’s. The OpenTable system is easy and a pleasure to work with. The service, food and dining atmosphere make it a very enjoyable experience. Thank you, Dale V.
