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.

The restaurant is good. We had lobster ravioli and seafood linguine. Both were delicious, but majorly overpriced. We sat outside and the service left much to be desired. It was kinda like we were forgotten about being outside, rather than enjoying a different culinary experience. Service was slow and nearly nonexistent unless we asked for help. The restaurant was not packed, but maybe was understaffed. A bird also pooped on my head and the table. I laughed it off, washed my hair in the bathroom, and made no fuss about it, but it would have been nice for the restaurant/server to acknowledge it like “we’re so sorry that happened to you!” Overall not a bad experience, just pricey for what you get.

We always, and I mean always, come here whenever we’re in town (fettuccine alfredo is the best I’ve had). I look forward to it every time and this was the first time coming here with our 4 year old. He loved it and I’m so glad. Bummed that the bread service is no longer part of the experience, but that won’t stop us. We’ll continue to make this a staple on our Duluth visits.

Old school dining style that needs an update. The interior ambience feels dated and could use a refresh. Loved the Lobster Ravoli but Chicken Masala was average. Did not understand the garlic toast they offer-underwhelming. The Crème Brule was spot on. Extensive wine list with great selections. Our server was fantastic! The have a nice patio that was not open or staffed yet it was a lovely summer’s evening. So combine the little misses with the price point and it doesn’t feel like the best value to me.

I have eaten here many times but tonight we had the best server we have ever had, Blair. He was amazing! Usually a lot of the servers we get are cold, impatient and make us feel like we are an inconvenience but he was kind and attentive and never made us feel uncomfortable asking for refills and such! Thank you for making this dining experience so enjoyable!
