Always amazing Food and Service. Used them for catering for my daughters Sweet 16 Birthday and the guests were Wowed by the quality and taste! Bravo Bellissimo!!!
Exquisite food, superior service, fantastic atmosphere in a small-ish relaxed restaurant with an upscale feel. Great wine list too.
Always a great meal. Little Pricey but it's an great place for a special occasion.
Our experience at Bellissimo was amazing! We were traveling through Winnipeg on our way to Ontario and stopped in for dinner. Jennifer, our server, was professional, friendly and attentive. She made us feel like valued customers. The pizza highlighted house-made cured meats that was flavourful without being overly salty. My gnocchi was incredibly soft and pillowy and the dish was filled with spinach, crispy pancetta and moist chicken. Despite being pretty stuffed from our pasta, we ordered dessert, and we sure are glad we did. The zeppole were scrumptious balls of sugared, deep fried dough accompanied with some lemon curd. It was a perfect way to end this meal after a long day of driving.
I’m honestly very addicted to the Salsicce pasta. But everything here is amazing.
Was a regular and was one of my favourites, but service was so bad, will not be going back
Great food. Nice atmosphere. My favourite Italian joint around.
Good food and service
Always a Great Experience. Food is great, staff is friendly. A must visit.
The delivery was quick, the food was hot. I personally found it a bit pricey for the apparent quality of food. It's definitely one of Winnipeg's best local Italian joints. But, not my go-to spot. The lobster mac and cheese seemed bland, but the pasta was cooked wonderfully Al dente. The fresh bun that comes with it was seasoned and flavour; warm, and buttery. The pizza sauce was great, the dough had a good chew. The toppings did not hit home for me, personally.
Excellent as always. I recommend the Agnello.
Food was excellent, wine was great, it was a great evening!
Service
Wonderful food and service! Delicious pasta, salads and amazing dessert!
Excellent restaurant. Have been here several times during years. Always as good, food and service.
Good food and location. Salmon could've been flavored a bit more.
Our server was pro. However, the support staff kept bumping into the back of our chairs. The past primivera was not up to their standard. So, I'm not rushing back.
AMAZING! Great service, food was FANTASTIC! I will defiantly be returning! 5+ !
The food was good but a little over priced. I was not blown away by my dish but my wife's was really good. Nice place for a date.
Delicious Italian food, great service and amazing atmosphere! Highly recommended. The baked brie is a dream.... ????????????
The food was amazing here. I enjoyed it so much that my wife got jealous. Very good service too.
Ordered by phone for pickup, was told 40 minutes, food came out in about 50 minutes. Waited 10 minutes by the bar. Lobster mac and cheese is excellent but I feel like there's too much sausage and not very much lobster. I feel like telling them I intended to use a show and save coupon got me a slightly lesser meal than last time but hey maybe it's just me. Still love the lobster mac and cheese here.
Fantastic!
As always the food and the service were excellent. The atmoshpere is welcoming and our server Manny was delightful and helpful as usual. Great Italian food at a good price. If you are celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself, ask Manny about the "off list" wine selection that he has available.
If you want Italian food then you'll want to try this place. Food and service is excellent.
Amazing service. Amazing food. I ordered the spaghetti and veal meatballs and a lemon meringue cheesecake and it was extremely tasty and filling.
Always a great meal.
GOOD!!!
Service was excellent and the food was delishous. I had the Bellissimo burger with yam firies, and the burger patty had much bolder flavour than I expected. It was wonderful, but far far from your typical, generic, flavourless patty of beef.
Delicious Italian food! The food was phenomenal.
Great food at great prices
Good food, great service, and lots of gluten free options.
Great food!
Fantastic, food and service was great as always
Very good food and my portions were very well sized. We had a great waitress, too.
The Bellissmo Pizza was pretty good. Lobster mac n cheese and cheese cake not bad.
Haven't been here in awhile. I remembered that had good gnocchi but I went for the ravioli which was squid ink pasta with shrimp and cream cheese filling. It was sweet and exceptionally flavorful. It wasn't enough due to how good it was, but I knew it was actually quite heavy in the back of my mind. My only complaint was the food wasn't piping hot, but I have found some restaurants serve it at "serving temperature." So their clients don't burn their mouths. I use to be very explicit in my desire for piping hot food, so I don't fault them unless I specifically ask. In this case I hadn't asked. I was less impressed with the cannelloni. The flavor blend just didn't stand out. Betty liked it however. The desserts were fantastic. A dense Lemon cheesecake with soft whipped meringue. The other was a chocolate gluten free cake that reminded me of the no sugar added brownies at dessert Sinsations in flavor. This was the best service I've had in awhile professional but very friendly and personable. This was balanced on a 4 or 5, but for the service I gave it a 5. I do adjust on subsequent visits if I feel it warrants a change.
Meal type
The food and service was great!
Gracious service, a soothing atmosphere and fantastic food. We had a large party seated with 3 special dietary restrictions and one special off menu order. Also, several shared drink orders. Not a thing was missed, photos were taken by the wait staff, and so many extra things asked for...but was a fantastic evening. And a lovely host! Thank you Bellissimo!
Great food, amazing people!!
Awesome flavour and ambience. Love to come back. Definitely better than other chain italian restaurants.
I've always known about Bellissimo, it took too long to get here. Food and service were great and I felt young compared to the crowd. So win, win?
Quaint restaurant. Amazing food. Wonderful service.
Fine dine, rich Italian food, excellent customer service.
Good food will come back again soon
One of our all-time favourite restaurant, along with Manny, our favourite waiter. We celebrate most of our special occasions here as it’s always wonderful and the food is superb. Take out just hadn’t been the same during COVID19 without the special ambiance the place and people bring. We love Bellisimos’s and it will always be “our place”.
Dine in
Wait staff were pleasant. Food was OK. Salad was nice. Gnocchi was over worked. Nice atmosphere.
Tables so close together it’s uncomfortable and not very private. Server was not very friendly. Food was very good though. Not likely to go back, may do a pick up order.
Amazing pasta.
Food was delicious.
Amazing Italian dining with great, friendly people.
OMG the Carbonara was incredible.!!
Our family of 6 adults has made it a tradition to treat ourselves to a nice dinner just before Christmas. The restaurants have included the Gates on Roblin, Bailey's, Rae and Jerry's, Tre Visi Cafe and Café Dario. Each of these provided an enjoyable dining experience. Equally enjoyable was last nights dinner at Bellissimo. We ordered two plates of the appetizer special Salmon Fritters which were very tasty. The dinners ordered were Pesce Asiago, Pollo Ripieno and the Vitello Parmigiana and each of us expressed how much we enjoyed the meals. We were full after the main course (including salads) but agreed we had to end the evening sharing the Turtles Cheesecake. Three of us had B52 Coffees. The restaurant was packed with customers which I think is an indication of the great customer service provided and the quality of the food.
Inspired Italian cuisine. You have to try the meatballs! Great staff and a welcoming atmosphere .
Great food. Great service. Delicant desserts.
Awesome!!! Food is spectacular & service is great too.
Great food and excellent service. Our waiter knew the menu and gave great recommendations. The turtle cheesecake is devine.
Dinner
Always fantastic. A bit pricey, but for the quality, size, and taste is worth the price. A bit dark, but I prefer it if I am honest
Been to this place a couple of times now. We really enjoyed it. Both times I had a pasta dish for my main and really enjoyed them both. Today I had the speghetti con polpetta. It was fantastic. The meat balls were super tasty. My wife had a salad she really enjoyed too. We started off with a mussel and clam dish. It was nice. We also shared a dessert, the lemon meriagne cheesecake. It was a good choice. I highly recommend this place, and we will certainly be back.
Great food and service, food travels well for delivery too. Arogosta pasta is absolutely to die for!!
Great food! I went around Christmas time so it was really busy and very tight in the restaurant.We felt a bit rushed which kind of left a bad impression. I wanted dessert but the server ignored or maybe didn't hear me? Other then that, the food was great and the establishment is clean and nice.
Great atmosphere
Great pasta and pizza. Great staff and service
Tasty food, quiet place, good service.
Great Pasta!
The food and the service were outstanding.
(Translated) Beautiful indeed !!! (Original) Bellissimo indeed!!!
Great food and service leads to a great Italian dining experience. Recommended.
If you are in Winnipeg eat here You wont regret it
Great food with tons of options.
Great service and the food is amazing!!
Great food good service
The food and service here was absolutely wonderful, ended up going for lunch and had pasta and a salad for under $25. Very satisfying
One of the best in town!
Excellent meal & very good service.
Good food and the presentation is really great
A nice varied menu. Personal gourmet pizza and pastas. Delicious. Highly recommend.
Excellent food, Great Atmosphere. Love It!!!
Beautiful place!
Always great food and wine. Perfect place for a special occasion or a great date night!
Amazing food and service.
Nice atmosphere. Lots of parking. Friendly Staff and good food.
Good service and very tasty food!
The food here is fantastic! Everything is scratch made. The chefs pay attention to every detail. I rarely eat pasta at restaurants because it usually is very over cooked, but this place is one of the few I make an exception for! If you want to enjoy a lovely dinner here, give yourself at least 2 or more hours of time. We gave ourselves 1 hour and 45 minutes for dinner and by the time we got our dinners we had to scarf it down as we had pre purchased tickets to a movie. That part was unpleasant and frustrating. You get a beautiful dinner and you've 10 minutes to eat it! The seating is a bit cramped which also means very little privacy. I will eat here again most deffinately but not on a day with time sensitive plans afterwards! Service was great!
One of the best restaurants in Winnipeg. Be sure to try their tiramisu! Also, I appreciated the waitress explaining the best way to reheat my lobster Mac & cheese at home.
Their pizza week feature was amazing so is their lobster mac & cheese
Probably my favourite Italian place in the city. Always come here for special occasions. Aragosta and Carbonara are my top two favourites here. Last experience with their patio was a bit sad, we were told wait time is 45-50 mins (they got my name and phone number), then after an hour, I called them to confirm if we’re still going to get a table, was told a table will be available soon. Then 15 mins have passed and still no table. In total we waited 1.5 hours for the people to leave a patio (they’re already done eating and drinking but they still stayed on their table for more than 30 mins talking). Since it’s pandemic, they can only sit limited customers in their patio, we waited since we really love the food here but I think waiting for 1.5 hours is not acceptable. I recommend maybe they should limit the time people can stay at the patio so other customers don’t have to wait for 1-1.5 hours just to eat. We arrived at 6:30pm and didnt’t get to eat til around past 8:00pm (since they had to cook our orders). Food here is very delicious. Service, staff and atmosphere are clean, friendly, quick and efficient. Price can be expensive here but it’s worth it in my opinion. I’m a BIG Pasta lover and they have the best Pasta I’ve ever tasted. Hope the next time me and my family come back here, we don’t have to wait tooo long again.
1 hour wait, ordered, another hour wait for lasagna= $80. Good food, but not $80/ two people ????
Over the years my family and I have frequented Bellisssimo quite regularly. Service, food quantity, and quality have always rated 4-5 stars. However on our last visit in March. The waiter; MANNY S. was very rude and unprofessional. My halibut was extremely over cooked and rubbery. I politely expressed my concerns. Manny, instead of offering to replace it with another order of halibut chose to check the filet himself. He took my knife and started cutting into my filet many many times. It was butchered. He said it was cooked perfectly. The accusation of not knowing anything about fish. My reaction along with my guests were complete shock. He left. I would have preferred to have another order however that was never an option. He never came back to our table until we paid the bill. He asked how our dinners were as we were exiting. My response again was "everyone else's dinners were great and my fish was over cooked as I mentioned before." It wasn't eaten, nor was it taken off the bill. This experience makes it very difficult to return.
Large portions and great specials.
Great service right from. The start. Food was awesome. From starter bread to main course. Had the Salsicce pasta. Only draw back was desert. Was excited to try the Lemon meringue pie. Turned out it was a cheesecake . To me they two different things. (I know petty) that's not to say it wasn't delicouse!
Great food and service Highly recommended I'm from out of town and will definately be back Thank you staff great job
I love the pizza, It's so good.
Very original itaĺian food only
Delicious food, amazing staff. Mac and cheese with lobster to die for.
I had a lamb shank. Meat tasted ...off. Gnocchi was mushy. The dish was overwhelmingly tomato with no flavor. Dinner rolls were re-heated day old, not the usual warm flyshy texture. Menu is down sized with many favorite dishes absent.
Good food
Favorite Italian restaurant in Winnipeg. Always tasty and everything is fresh. Great wine selection.
Very amusing atmosphere, delicious and very authentic food - suitable for couples and also families. Service is great.
Delicious dishes, fresh baked rolls served hot out of the oven, good wine selection, good service.
I ordered the Pollo Alio Rostato for lunch and it was delicious! Chicken was perfect in the pasta! I initially wanted the Salsicce but the waitress advised the sausage was really spicy :( I heard the Lobster Mac and Cheese was really good as well so I can't wait to go back and give that a try! Overall was a great experience and the staff was very friendly.
The service was prompt and friendly, food was super good. Overall a really enjoyable dining experience. Especially as the first one post shut down!
Exellent food, great price and amazing service. Worth your time.
Great food and service anytime!
High quality well cooked Italian food.
Some of the best pizza I've ever had in Canada. I highly recommend eating here!
Mediocre food and lazy uninspired service. Restaurant is dated in its decor and menu, it shows in the service staff and clientele.
Magnificent Italian restaurant in Winnipeg. Homemade pasta and sauces are delicious! Don't let the outdoor's look of the restaurant make you think twice before getting in. You will not regret the experience. Our waitress was nice and helpful. The portions were very satisfying. The only downsides are the lighting and small space between tables.
Probably my fav Italian restaurant in the city. Great for a date or family dinner. I've never had a bad pasta dish here.
Very tasty food they serve there
Nice place that make me come here again!
Good food, a nice ambience
Food's almost there. An overabundance of RAW garlic (seriously, a minute or two in a hot frying pan would go a LONG way), but the pizza is unreal in a good way. Service is...Attentive when the server is at your table. I've watched one server spend more time chatting with their friends than serving the rest of the full lounge. But the atmosphere is nice and the pizza is a great value.
One of the best Italian restaurantserves I've been to in Winnipeg! Love it....
Food is delicious and the service top.rayed.
It's our favorite restaurant. Peaceful place to eat with my hubby. The food is fresh and perfect. Good service.
Wonderful food and waitress stayed a few minutes late just for us. Definitely a must!!
love the food
Well worth the price. Ask for Manuel.
Delicious, consistent and fabulous variety. They never fail in satisfying my craving for Italian food.
Pleasant and beautiful setting and very tasty.
Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent! I will definitely visit again!
Love Bellissimo! Great Food, Great Service
This is by far the best restaurant that my wife and I love coming to and do so quite often. Not only is the food amazing the staff and owners care about their guests. I think we look forward more to seeing the staff and getting caught up in their world. Then the food comes and every bite is wonderful. Do yourself a favour and check out this amazing food and you will learn to love it as much as we do.
Not a big pasta fan but my dish was amazing and I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.
Delicious, great service, fantastic atmosphere
Food and service fantastic. Delicious food.
Excellent meal & service. Very accommodating. Will definitely go back if we visit the area again.
Nice place.
Great ambience, great service, and even better food. Every time I'm in Winnipeg it's a must.
We have been going to Bellissimo's since they've opened. Fantasic atmosphere great service and amazing food.
I recommend this restaraunt to anyone who loves good Italian food. Tomato, roasted red pepper,feta soup was delicous. Veal and lasgna were perfect. Huge portions. Took most of ours home to enjoy the next day. Service was great, very pleasant servers. Woll definitely go back
Good not great. Nona's sauce tastes like Ragu. The meatballs we're VERY good and I usually hate veal. In for a early seating on New Year's Eve. limited menu. Very overpriced.
Amazing food, great service, and very comfortable atmosphere make this one of my new favorite restaurants! The lasagne is to die for!
Took my cousins to lunch for a belated birthday celebration. The food was delicious and very creative.
Was back with a group of 8 on September 11th, once again the food was excellent and our server was beyond excellent, probably the best in years, anywhere we've been to. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive just a great personality. We will be back.
Never disappointing....
Wonderful food and ambience! The pizza and Caesar salad were awesome!
Wow!! Such a great place for date night or with the family. You have everything you could want from Italian restaurant. I’m a vegetarian and that made a special dish for me. The food was perfect the price fair, the service amazing!! Highly recommended.
The food excellent
High quality food and service! Recommended!
BEST Italian in Winnipeg! Delicious food
Great food and service
The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant. Lots of brown colours give it a relaxing feel. The servers are friendly and not overbearing. Food is amazing, portions are generous. You get your money's worth here.
The food is amazing ! We have been going to this place for many years. It never disappoints . Highly recommended.
I decided to do take - out. The food was delicious. The muscles in the white wine saffron sauce was very good.
Excellent service. This was one of the best servers we have had at any restaurant in years. Large potions of lasagna and the food was excellent.
Good experience. Friendly waitress, good food. Not a huge menu, strictly Italian options
Our server last night was excellent: precise and prompt. The quiet atmosphere was highly appreciated, the food very, very good.
High quality food. Only reason I gave it a 4 was that most dishes seemed to have something sweet in the savory dishes: honey, figs, etc.. Lemon meringue cheesecake was unreal. Same with the calamari.
Haven’t been in a few years and I was super disappointed. There was a total of 8 tables in the place..maybe 20 guests with 2 servers, a host an expo/busser and maybe a bartender on. Our service started out good but as our server got busier he seemed to forget about us. Reminder: there were 20 guests total in the place including the lounge. He slipped a bill on the table without asking if we wanted separate bills. We were clearly 3 individuals who were not on a date, family or having a business meeting! Then when I asked for separate bills in a very polite manner 15 minutes later when he finally came back, he snapped at me saying, “It’s going to be a minute then!!”. He eventually came back and threw the new bill on the table and grabbed the old one and crumpled it up and stormed away. There was no acknowledgement of our debit cards on the table. No polite, “ I will be right back with a machine!”. He treated us like we were bothering him. We are all GM’s of restaurants so this service was atrocious to us. In the midst of a pandemic your staff shouldn’t have to be reminded that they should be grateful for community supporting them. Super disappointed. On top of that, the food was mediocre. The Caesar salad tasted like raw garlic cream and the pizza was doughy and thicker than displayed in the picture in their menu. Had a check back been done while we were eating, we could have mentioned it. The server’s name was Manny. He was brutal. The female server working tonight seemed to be pleasantly conversing with her guests (1/2 of the 20 in the restaurant), not crashing and being a “server”and not an “order taker” like Manny. If I were to go back and he was my server.. I would just leave. I also wouldn’t have pizza!
Excellent service, Great food! The Brie was delicious and the chicken was also amazing. I would say a little expensive for me, but definetly worth it.
When this Italian loves it, you know it'll be the best.
Good food but not cheap
Clean and cozy. Great staff and even better food.
Nice food ???? great service ????
The burger was thin, but the flavors were on point, and the dessert was unbelievable
I have been three times as was never disappointed. The service was great and the food fantastic.
Unbelievable food. Everything from the time we walked in, to the service, price and food was 5 star.
Top of the line for Italian cuisine. Wait staff are knowledgeable and courteous.
Fun Traditional Italian Restaurant with a bar and dining area. Our party of 5 had a reservation on a busy Saturday but sadly were given a table in the bar area, which was much louder than I had anticipated. Very crowded for a Saturday night, which is a sign of good food. When entering the restaurant, all patrons must show proof of vaccination and their ID cards. Masks are worn inside at all times by staff and patrons when not eating. The portions are average. The lobster mac & cheese was bland, but the butternut squash and sage pasta was amazing as was the chicken gnocchi dish. Our waiter was Manny and he was very friendly. Lots of outdoor parking. Reservations recommended, especially for weekend dining.
Freshly made pasta has an authentic taste. The pizza was was also made in house. Overall great experience!
Excellent and friendly service; varied menu; meals always well presented and no pressure to leave after meal was finished.
The server was prompt and attentive, my meal was delicious and prices were reasonable.
Good food...
This place is amazing. I loved food and superior service. I will recommend to any one for special dates or occasion and, me and my husband will go back.
Food was great but we had to wait quite a while for it since there had been a problem in the kitchen. Very busy night - more servers needed.
Great service and food. Staff members were friendly and attentive.
I just walked in and was seated promptly, but I would recommend reservations, as the room fills pretty quickly and I was early. Excellent atmosphere, great service and great food! The baked brie was spectacular. The food tastes very fresh and the presentations are wonderful. I look forward to my next opportunity to enjoy another meal at this fine estabishmnet.
I ordered from their website today and it said nothing about being closed on mondays and the web site gave me a pickup time for today (Monday) when I showed up there was no one there but my credit card was still charged I phoned and the phone message is from May 16 there was no contact information other than an outdated answering machine message saying to order online. As follow up Greg contacted me to apologize and refunded my credit card. In addition when I ordered the next day he did not charge me for my order. I ordered the Bellissimo Pizza and it was delicious! IUt is rare for a business to take that much responsibility for their mistakes... Kudos to Bellissimo
Great food and service!
Always good. Their calamari and Chocolate Oblivion are superb.
Fresh made pasta !!! It's a must go !
BEST MAC&CHEESE IN TOWN Today, we went for Mac&Cheese Mondays and it was fantastic. The flavours were great. We know that there is a new Mac&Cheese place in the city called Kevin's in the exchange district. Don't bother going there. Their dishes are not nearly as quality made as the ones from Bellissimo, which is quite ironic since they "specialize" in Mac&Cheese. Bellissimo has a fixed price of 10$ for the Mac&Cheese dishes they have for Mac&Cheese Mondays. Kevin's dishes range to up to 15$ each and are not worth the money. Just wait for Mondays and take advantage of what Bellissimo has to offer. We ordered the Clubhouse Mac&Cheese and the Porcetta Mac&Cheese. They were both made so well. The sauces for both were very creamy. You can taste the quality in the indegredients they use. The Clubhouse comes with a rosé bechamel (a tad of marinara mixed in with bechamel). Perhaps the best Mac&Cheese we've had in the city. We're also very happy that Bellissimo doesn't cheap you out on the meats in their dishes. There was a very decent amount of meat in both the Mac&Cheese dishes we ordered. We can't believe we got all that goodness for only 10$ each!!! We also had their Mango Sangria which was so delightful and such a taste of summer in the cold weather we have now. It's definitely worth trying. For dessert we had their Caramel Macchiato Creme Brulee (their flavours change) and their Death by Chocolate Cake. Which was just rich and creamy layers of quality chocolate on top of each other. We will definitely be back. It's a wonderful date spot for dinner and a fun place to go for lunch!
Absolutely in love with this place. The decor is beautiful and their pasta is the best in the city. Loved my peacan crusted stuffed chicken breast with linguine. My guests had the Aragosta and the lobster mac and cheese, and couldn't stop raving about both. Can't wait to come back here :)
Take out
great food and comfy good service also
This place is so good! Outside doesn't look like much, but great atmosphere and food within!!
Always excellent service and food
Food and service were very good.
The food and the service..was amazing
I had the Insalata con Fichi with the added chicken. It is, quite possibly, the best salad I have ever had! Very tasty!
Very warm place... good food
Amazing food. I work beside here and finally went for the cavetelli: highly recommend. Good and service was amazing.
Unexpectedly good food. I has taken off guard. I came in from a long bike ride for a quick bite. Will be back.
Only been a couple times over the last 4 years, but always very good food!
Always a great place to dine with family, friends or clients.
Great food and service.
Take out
The ricotta pizza at Bellissimo is something special!! Go get one.
A Winnipeg gem ... the food never fails, service is good and the prices reasonable
Authentic Italian good with excellent taste....
In the picture, the Paella. Definitely different from what I know as a Paella, but it was a delicious meal. It was great, the waiter (Which I think was the barman as well), was awesome. The Salmone is also nice. The prices are fair, not as Hermanos. I really liked it and would go back.
Really good lunch special. Very impressed local well made food and ingredients
Good food. Lovely patio.
Great food
It was friendly and good service and great food good portions
Amazingly beautiful and high quality food restorrant, manu for adults and kids, not very pricey, in advance - get back for good, each buck you pay!
Good was good, service was at par, there are less expensive comparable Italian restaurants in Winnipeg.
Beautiful atmosphere, amazing staff but the tables are very close together from the restaurant being as small as it is. Food is also amazing.
By far my new favourite restaurant in Winnipeg!
I've never been disappointed. Great food, every time.
We were there for supper last Wednesday evening. I had the lemon veal and thought I had died and gone to heaven, my husband had the cashew crusted chicken and LOVED it, I had a taste and would order that the next time we are in Wpg. My sister in law had the Aragosto and devoured it....my brother in law had the lobster mac and cheese and darn near licked the plate clean....all in all It was FABULOUS...Wish we lived closer.
We had very good diner and wine here .
Great food, service and atmosphere!
Very amusing atmosphere, delicious and very authentic food - suitable for couples and also families. Service is great.
5 ✳️ The dining experience here was the amazing, warm and welcoming staff! Great atmosphere! The waiter was amazing. The food!! ???? one of the best most authentic Italian food I've ever had! I started with Calamari, then a pasta dish that I can not recall the name ???? and ended with the death by chocolate dessert ????????. I will be returning with friends!
Good food and attentive staff.
Wonderful food. Great service. Thank you, Jennifer!
Always one of our favourite business lunch spots with excellent, friendly and personal service. For more social and special occasion evening dinners, Bellissimo never fails to deliver. Love this restaurant.
Food is consistently delicious. Staff are extremely accommodating and nice. Service is always top notch. Will return soon.
Five of us adult family members waited more than 45 minutes to be seated for our 7 p.m. reservation (the patrons at our table were loitering long after paying their bill). Elsewhere, we may have left, however, our parents having been here before, suggested we would enjoy the meal once seated. Finally, menus in hand, we mentioned to our server, Patty, that we had been waiting a long time. Patty immediately replied that she would make it her mission that evening to make it up to us. Amazingly, she succeeded! With three different appetizers (comped on our bill) and five different dishes, even the picky eaters in our group were nothing but complimentary. Although the restaurant was packed to the gills on a busy Saturday evening, service (once seated) was excellent. All in all, it was worth the wait and we will be back!
One of the best restaurants in the city ! Also one of the best websites to order takeout on ( well thought out) . Definitely recommend supporting this business you wont be disappointed!
If you have a chance and like Italian you must try this place. I travel North America and 200+ nights out of town per year so am a fairly good judge. I came to this place after reading some reviews and the Gnocchi was highly recommended. I got there and it's off the menu. My waitress said "let me see if they will make it for you anyway"! This impressed me to no end! They did and am I ever glad they did. That was the single best Italian meal I have ever had. I have been to Italy. My friend had a rather delicious looking seafood pasta dish with Lobster, Scallop's, Shrimp and said it was absolutley to die for! It looked it. Suffice to say it deserves 5 stars in our opinion.
Delicious food, great service, buzzing atmosphere.
Meal was delicious Gnoochhi Bossciola The staff were great lovely evening all around
Great pasta and great service. Really enjoyed our anniversary there!
By far the worst dinner experience ever. Rissoto was so salty I couldn't even eat it . When I told the wait staff that I was scolde like it was my fault I didn't say something soon. I didn't eat much of it and she had the most disrespectful answer that she would only be taking half the entree off. I've eaten in restaurants around the world and michelen star chefs too and when something isn't good and a customer states that the entree is always removed especially if they didn't even EAT IT. Greg(the owner) your staff makes this restaurant a 1 star experience
Great Keg!
romantic
The bread was really good, but the food is very over priced for mediocre. Good was slightly cold and my burger was very over cooked and dry. Maybe dinner would be better than lunch.
Service was fabulous
The food and atmosphere is wonderful!
Food was excellent, service was awesome, would highly recommend. Reservations are required.
Great place to eat early authentic Italian food great customer service and cost very reasonable for what you get
Service
Authentic and fresh pasta, just like in Italy. Pizza was amazing as well. The servers are really great.
Great place to eat! The food is great and the service is impeccable.
Had the spaghetti and meat balls .. was amazing for a simple dish, the bre was tasty and the bun with a garlic olive oil sauce was sooooo good!!! I will return forsure !
Great food, service & ambiance
Terrible. The spinach agnolotti was the ugliest looking pasta I have ever seen. The Squash filling was repulsively sweet. Never eat here.
Perfect
One of my favorite places in Winnipeg. The in-house made buns are incredible, pastas are delicious, and great pizza too.
Love this place.
Wonderful
I rarely feel inclined enough to review but for the experience I had here today, I wanted to type out a genuine review about my first and only experience at Bellissimo. I had ordered pickup from Bellissimo (lunch menu). I ordered Carbonara (16) and Lobster Mac and Cheese (18) with a side salad. Upon arrival, the lady had already had the total punched in on the machine and was about to hand me it when I inquired if I could pay part of it in cash and the rest on debit (co-worker's cash). She agreed but didn't seem to know how to do that, so she grabbed someone who I'm assuming is her supervisor to help her enter it into the POS machine. The total came to $40.48. I assumed she had just entered it in wrong because she was new or something so I just said "f* it, i'll just pay it all on debit". I paid the $40.48, thinking nothing of it, and she asked me if I wanted a receipt. I said no and left. About 20 minutes later, my boss comes into the room where I'm eating and says there's a lady on the phone by the name "Bianca" from the restaurant I just ordered from who said that I took my food without paying for it. It was quite embarrassing. I checked my bank account to be sure that it had be charged and it had. So I called them back to figure out what was going on. When Bellissimo picked up and I told them who I was, they were extremely rude and condescending. The man (I do not know his name) who answered said that I should have paid 60 something dollars for my lunch. Of course I inquired because I only ordered 16, 18, and the side salad which is nowhere near 60$. After being put on hold for a few minutes they came back to the phone to say that they had charged me the "wrong" amount and that it was indeed only 40 something dollars. I owed something like 1.50 because they put in the wrong numbers. They told me "not to worry about it" because of the inconvenience, but not even an apology. I offered to come by anyway to pay the rest and they said no and hung up before I could even say anything else. So, they made a mistake on THEIR end and called my place of work to talk to my manager calling me a thief. It was humiliating and completely poor service from them. I'm not impressed at all. Instead of calling to talk to me and ask whether or not I had perhaps left the cash with a different attendant or anything, they opted to instantly accuse me of stealing instead at my PLACE OF WORK. Seems like they wanted to make drama and catch a thief rather than figure things out in a professional manner. I won't be dining there again, and I will be telling everyone I know not to dine there. The food was decent, but the experience I had is not near worth that mediocrity. Just wanted to leave this review so that anyone reading this or the management there know how awful their customer service was to me today, and that it spoiled my lunch/day.
Great authentic italian food, cozy atmosphere and excellent service.
Awesome food and service. Have the arogosta pasta. You won't regret it!
Delicious fresh food! Amazing quality and flavor for the price! Great selection and fantastic dessert! Will be going back again and again!
I have been a few times and find the food to be consistently very good. The service is very good, and you never feel rushed through your meal. I gave it 4 stars because their patio is small and sits right on the parking lot and is not very inviting to sit out on.
Excllent food, lots of variety and dishes you can't get elsewhere. Some pastas made in-house. On the pricier side (see menu online), but well worth it.
Always excellent food and service.
The lobster Mac and cheese is awesome comfort food. So good I would order two and weclome the food coma to follow.
This place has been an excellent experience time and time again. The Decor is quite nice, and the food tastes fresh and well prepared. Again this is not gourmet Italian food but very well prepared Italian food. The only major down side to this restaurant (and it's a big one) is the level of service. The service is spotty at best but more often then not it is slow, and has an almost unprepared/inexperienced feeling. Too bad an otherwise excellent experience can be ruined by sub par staff. I would recommend trying one of the many other Italian restaurants in the city, there are plenty and they are good.
Went for Mac'n'Cheese Monday. The Veggie Monster was really good. The sauce was more loose or liquid than mac'n'cheese implies though. This is an Italian styled dish, not a gooey, comfort food mac'n'cheese. Fairly quiet at 11:30am. Nice ambiance.
Calamari portion size has gone down Ceasar salad was not the greatest Aragosta was three tiger prawns and two scallops on a bed of pasta for $32.00 our total bill was 135.00 not good value for your dollar
Always have wonderful service and great homemade food! Wine selection is very good and always feel welcome! I would definitely recommend.
It was amazing the dinner ,drinks and the best tiramisu that l have ever tasted it was so good .Good portions .The service was excellent.Did not have to wait long at all . Everything was very well organized for covid.We will diffently go back to eat at Bellissimo very soon.
It's good to be back in restaurants again and Bellissimo did not disappoint. Great service, food was delicious with big portions.
Good seafood dishes. Great service.
Amazing food the price is a little high but it's well worth it!
Great food
Huge portions. Good Italian food.
One of my favourite restaurants in the city. Food and service are exceptional. So many choices, everything is very flavourful.
Excellent food, and fantastic complementary bread. Small portions and over priced.
Great place and food
Walk in Friday night and not success, waiting list for 1h. Next time, reservation ahead.
Great meal and ambience. Manny was a fun waiter. Mohammed was very attentive as well.
Customer service is the worst. The server we had was very condescending and sarcastic. So much for a 'classy restaurant'
Always a delicious meal! Awesome service! Best calamari in the city! The seafood pasta was divine! The white wine cream sauce delicious! I wanted to lick the bowl ????. The dessert, zeppoli, stupendous! Warm, soft and pillowy with delicious tart lemon curd.....yum!
Atmosphere was quiet and elegant. Food was fantastic. We had Saliccia as an appy . Wine was Comenge paired with Lamb shanks was great. Desert was Tiramisu delicious . Great evening
Great food and great people
Great food and cozy vibes. Staff was very friendly. Portions could be a little bit bigger
The food was great the the service was lackluster
Only pasta place I've been to in Winnipeg that actually does el Dante correctly
Always a wonderful experience!
cozy italian restaurant
Experience was perfect! I'll be back.
Nice atmosphere good food great wine list, will return
The food and service was excellent. I would reccomend the macaroni and cheese with lobster or any of the pizzas, as well as the calamari.
God's homemade pasta
We’ve been to this restaurant several times now, and it has become a favourite of mine. Although it’s always busy and reservations are required for dinner, it’s not pretentious, has no attitude, and leaves a great impression every time we visit. Service is prompt and friendly, and out table of four was attended to from seating to departure by an efficient and polite young staff of bus people, bread people, and our server who was thoroughly professional. The menu is Italian with a Canadian twist (I am pretty sure you won’t find Bellissimo’s Baked Lobster in Macaroni and Cheese anywhere in Naples) and all four dishes we ordered were delicious, although one, the Salcicce, was extremely spicy hot, and was unexpected to be.
AmazIng. Calamari, huge plate, (two dips would’ve been better). Spicy Picante pizza, absolutely amazing! Tons of toppings, perfect! Thank you!
First time coming here today, I feel very safe even though it’s during covid. The restaurant has the plastic separator for each table, they ensure we come from the same household, all staff wearing mask and the table (distance) follows the health protocol from the government, it looks sparkling clean. The FOOD is amazing. It tastes very authentic, Ive been to other Italian’s restaurants, but so far this is the best. The dessert tastes very fresh too. The service is lovely too, the staff from the front desk and the two servers that helped us definitely make us feel welcomed. Definitely recommend this place and would definitely come back.
Could use more vegetarian options for mains and pastas.
Excellent meal tonight. Service was superb. The food was served hot and timed perfectly. You can always expect perfection here.
Excellent food and service
This place was wonderful. Baked brie starter was perfect. We shared a greek side salad that was fresh and crisp with a light and flavorful dressing. Meatballs were huge, and cooked til tender, in a fresh zesty sauce. Chicken with pecan crust was melt in your mouth. We highly recommend this place.
Best soups and lasagna in town. Wide selection of wines. Moderately priced.
Always enjoy the experience and food
An absolutely incredible Italian Dining experience!
Excellent food and service! Would recommend it to anyone who loves Italian food or great calamari!
Great food & excellent service
enjoyed their food, and good service, very pleased.
Excellent lunch experience, awesome pizza!! Nice staff, very professional, real Italian food. Yum.
Busy place, good food and service...kinda long wait times for food and bills, don't go if you're in a hurry. Dinner was a 2.5 hour stint.
Great service, amazing food. Make sure you do reservation as it’s quite busy, although it’s still doesn’t guarantees you a table really... Really recommend to try POLLO RIPIENO. Tastes heavenly!
Had a lovely family dinner last night with 11 people. Service was excellent as always, food exceptional as always. Highly recommend.
Amazing food and staff. Highly recommend.
Great food and wonderful service
This has been one of our regular restaurants to visit. It has some of the best Italian food I have eaten. My wife loves their Polo Ripino, my son their pizza and I love their casalinga salad and salsicci.
Everything is so fresh!!!!! the bread has pesto so be aware for anyone with a treenut allergy from the breading on the calamari to the croutons in the salad is made from the same bread.....absolutely the best pasta in Winnipeg
Amazing Restaurant! Server Manny.S was excellent and made our family experience amazing. 10/10!!
Meal type
First time back in almost 15 years. Delicious food, good wine. Had calamari to start (crispy and not too salty). Shared yhe seafood risotto on special and the lamb shank. Very filling, good portions for 2.
The food is amazing
Good food fine service. A treat to dine with friends outside!
The food is always spectacular. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I felt the mint tea I ordered was overpriced, $4.50! Meanwhile coffee was less than $3.
Service
Lobster mac and cheese ! ????
Excellent food and service!!!
Went there for my first time tonight. Great service and Great food! Whether you're looking meat or a great pasta dish this is the place. Will for sure be returning!
Dinner
Great place to eat
Good service. Very good Italian menu
The food is always great here!!
Great seafood pasta and wine selection.
Service
Still my favourite restaurant!
Its a really nice place to go. Its fancy, but not too fancy. Food isn't too expensive, and it's very delicious.
Best Italian food in Winnipeg. Good service. Recommend reservations.
Loved going here when I lived in Winnipeg! Great pasta!
We've been going to Bellissimo's for years. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Slightly pricey but worth it.
Have a seafood craving, ordered these, both excellent! PASTA ARAGOSTA, plenty of lobster meat; CIOPPINO (A classic Italian seafood stew made with fresh mussels, hardshell baby clams, king crab and tiger prawns, simmered in a spicy marinara bouillon, served with garlic butter herbed toast points.) Services was very good too.
My wife and I frequent Bellissimo at least 2 or 3 times every couple of months and the food has always been extremely flavorful and hot having been prepared from scratch which I might say does take extra time to prepare so we make sure to come to relax with a nice bottle of wine and an appetizer. The food and dessert followed by a double expresso makes for an absolutely wonderful evening. We have found the serving staff to be very accommodating and attentive although at times rushed as this is a busy place for sure which speaks to its popularity....if you don't have a reservation for Fridays and Saturdays your generally out of luck. We are not by any means pretentious but certainly love the recognition whenever we arrive and get seated...a very pleasant smile and "how are you this evening" goes a very long way in taking the edge off a long workday. Bellissimo has been and will continue to be one of our favourite Winnipeg Restaurants.
Awesome. Real homemade italian food. Service is focused on the higher class. Dress code would be recommended. I felt like I was brushed off and our server was too busy conversing with the wealthier tables. Our server didnt ask my date what she wanted for an appetizer. And when i flagged him down to give him her order. He cancelled my order. So we waited awhile for our appetizers and never received our complimentary rolls. Otherwise the entree was phenominal aswell as the dessert. Best creme brulee ive ever had. And my date loved her lemon meringue cheesecake. Food is perfection. Drinks are good. Service needs some work. But definitely get what you pay for. If your looking for a real authentic italian cuisine this is your place. Felt like I was in italy again.
Excellent Greek Restaurant. Patio tables, bar, large eating area inside. Friendly and gracious waiters and waitresses....diversified food menus , wine ,liquor and dessert menus. I am not a fussy or demanding eater. The whole menu is excellent. Been there many times and love it...Priced reasonably and affordable. Reservations required...????????????????????
The pasta dishes were so great. Our server made great recommendations and substitutions for my allergy. All around a great experience!
Amazing meals
Great food, service and atmosphere!
Always good

We are new to this part of the city and my finance and i wanted to have food delivered since we were in the middle of moving into our new place. I really wanted to have calamari so we order that and Tavola di buratta also a few other sides.. i was Not impressed when we got our calamari.. it was way over cooked and had already a taste of burnt to it. The tavola di buratta was nice and refreshing! Is was good! The calamari sucked.
Excellent food...and excellent hosting from the staff.
Was pleasantly surprised about the food and atmosphere
Always delicious and great service too.
Recently experienced first class service here, which greatly complimented the delicious pastas. We were a party of four and we all sampled each other's dishes. All were incredibly good. Would highly recommend this restaurant for great Italian food, excellent portions, and fair prices. Be sure to try the unusual but delicious lemon meringue cheesecake!
Excellent food , service and attention to detail. A YWG fave. From YYC.????
Awesome food. Great service. Loved it.
Picked up food for the first time, it tasted great and everything was warm and fresh!
As usual the service and food was excellent. The menu has a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes with other yummy options like pickerel and salmon. The servers are all so friendly and knowledgeable. They manage the Covid restrictions perfectly.
It was my first time their. Our waitress was fantastic. The food was delicious. I would go back. Lots of covid precautions.
Went with the wife and kids. Very nice. More upscale than the exterior would lead you to believe. My kids were the only ones at the restaurant, but staff were very accommodating. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. They have a patio, but still closed as it's still cold (Early April). Most, if not all their Desserts are made in house. We had the Creme Brulee and the 'Death by Chocolate' both of which were heavenly. We have already decided that we would go back again sometime.
Always excellent food. Scratch made sauces and desserts. The service is always excellent. A great server knows when to entertain the table and when to step back. We have been 4 times now and it is satisfying to be acknowledged as a return customer when you sit down. I dont know why some folks complain about price vs. Portion size. For the quality you get the portion is perfect. Highly recommended. The only minor complaint is that they have the televisions on in the lounge when it is primarily used as dining room seating. A television is a distraction in a dining room. Otherwise 100%
food was ok. service was ok as well. atmosphere was alright.
Good food speedy service
Amazing Italian food! Reasonably priced food and fantastic service!
Food was good but not worth for price which we paid. Beware of 15% compulsory tip you have to pay on your total bill. Prices of food is too high. For a medium size pizza and 5 toppings we paid 45$. (15% tip is included). Will not go again.
Very attentive staff. The baked brie was delicious. Excellent meal. I highly recommend it.
Orders a margarita pizza took an hour to cook, not seasoned just pizza sauce and chesse nothig special.
Cozy restaurant , make sure you have reservations be for you go.
Pricey but good
One of the better Italian restaurants in Winnipeg. Great atmosphere, service and food.
Delicious
Dinner
Top notch fantastic food
Always a great dining experience at Bellissimo. Our meals were delicious. Manny introduced us to a new pinot noir which we quite enjoyed. All covid protocols were followed by staff and guests. Thank u Bellissimo for making us feel safe and comfortable!! See u again soon!
I love this place...never had a bad experience...always look forward to checking out their specials...great service to boot...
Pricy but excellent
Food is decent, very over priced for what you get, the room is very small and tight, but that isn't too much of an issue. The main problem was the service, it is quite terrible. The waitress came by twice during our entire meal and we had empty drinks for a good 20 minutes. For the price you get terrible service and mediocre food. Not recommended, just go to Olive Garden or really any other Italian restaurant.
Food was great, atmosphere was good,service a tad slow.
Excellent food. Great service.
Great experience, delicious food and excellent service. Especially cream brûlée was a fantastic. Nice and quit atmosphere.
Our server was very rude, we're not coming back to this place! Instead of offering help to my wife because she was confused with the menu, he asked is she's ok and if she needs an advil... such a sarcastic comment. After handing our bill when we finished our meal, he did not say that he will be back with the machine or something. After a minute of waiting, we stood up to head to the front to pay. He then approached us with the machine and said out loud, I can take your payment, "WE ARE CLASSY HERE". I asked him what did he mean but didn't say anything. So rude... We felt discriminated and was treated rudely. Not coming back here and spreading this to my community.
I normally don't order seafood, but I gave it a chance and I was blown away. Shrimp and Scallops were amazing!!! Also, the bread was served with Oil and Vinegar, but they added a bit of fresh Garlic to that simple dip, OMG!!!
I enjoyed it for our anniversary. Cheese cake was too sweet but still good.
Excellent Italian restaurant. Intimate setting
Amazing food and wonderful service
Great service and excellent food!
Was amazing food and great service.
Great food and consistently good service. Highly recommend for a nice quiet dinner.
Dine in
We've eaten here many, many times for many years. The food is always very good. The service is excellent and the prices are very reasonable!
Amazing take-out tonite...food was awesome! Great curb side delivery, thanks for offering such a great service. Looking forward to dining in once this is all over!????❤
Magnifico! We chose Bellissimo for a special "belated Birthday" supper earlier on this month (February). We'd eaten in the restaurant before, but were wondering how the food would taste after being carted home via curbside pickup due to Covid. We needn't have worried -everything was excellent. Things were off to a great start right from the smooth online ordering: Bellissimo allows customers to to order directly from them for pickup, as opposed to being forced to navigate through a third party delivery service like Skip the Dishes. THANK YOU Belllissimo! The Insalata con fiche was very nice and plenty for two, and the mix of figs, red wine vinegar and candied pecans was Heaven on a salad. Tavola di Buratta was packaged so the yummy toppings were separate from the bread for transport, and they travelled just fine. And entrees Agnello (lamb) and Vitello limone were superb. A bit pricey but worth every cent! And as a bonus, there was sufficient food that both my father and I were able to make two "mini plates" from the leftovers to have the next day. Customer Service is top-notch.. Bravo to the young woman who brought the food and credit card machine outside to my car on a -20C evening, even though I offered to come inside to pay, wearing a mask and latex gloves. This restaurant takes Covid precautions as seriously as their cooking. Can't wait to come back.
Well prepared and served Italian fare with wonderful taste and presentation served by friendly, helpful wait staff - perfect!
Last time there we were with a group. One lady had to send her quiche back 3 times to keep getting it warmed up. After 3 times she just ate it as it was. A tiny melon scoop of ice cream was about $4. I enjoyed what I had and nice place and good parking.
Great for high-end Italian dinner. Not great if you want any substitutions for a menu item (not allowed at all). This makes vegetarian options quite restrictive (they'll remove the meat/seafood, but no alternate, and no price reduction)
Bellissimo is my favorite italian restaurant in the city, however they sure have downsized their menu quite a bit! ???? But its understandable, the cost to do business has went up a LOT, and I like the revised menu! Food was great as always???????? Keep it up Anthony, Greg & team
First time here, everything was amazing, the atmosphere, the drink menu and the food menu. Service was lacking, and we were not brought out bread plates with our rolls. Server was barely there, and we had a hard time getting his attention when one of us dropped a fork.
Phenomenal food everytime!
Great food. Great service. Highly recommend
Did curb side pickup and it was amazing.
Great food and atmosphere. You will not be disappointed, enjoy!
Wonderful friendly service, Amazing food! Very comfortable and looked after quite well. Manny was just an absolute delight.
