- MRMargieRVirginia •4 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 23, 2023I would rate Bellissimo Restaurant a solid 10!!! The food was delicious - well seasoned and nicely plated (yes, we ordered the turkey dinner -- it was Thanksgiving, after all!!) Servings were generous and staff were all friendly and helpful. They came around multiple times to fill water glasses or to make sure everything was ok. We ordered a cannoli and chocolate mousse for dessert and each was wonderful. I love this restaurant and don't go there as often as I would like only because I live a fair distance. I HIGHLY recommend Bellissimo's Restaurant to friends and family alike!!!!More infoBellissimo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Fairfax•4.5

Discover Fairfax
Located across the Potomac River about an hour west of Washington, D.C., Fairfax lets you take a quiet break from the bustling national capital. However, don't assume that a small town means limited restaurants. Fairfax is home to everything from Indian food to fine Italian dining to American favorites like hamburgers. For a true taste of down-home Virginia cooking, be sure to try a sweet potato biscuit. Virginia is home to half a dozen varieties of heirloom sweet potato, which taste best when cooked into a flaky biscuit and served as a ham sandwich. Many local restaurants serve Southern-influenced comfort food, but you can enjoy Italian, Indian and other international cuisine as well. Head down Route 236 or 29 to find a popular restaurant while you're in town.
