This restaurant offers some of the best classic Italian thin crust pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. The dough is incredibly fresh, and the combination of arugula and prosciutto is fantastic. Another standout dish is the pasta with pork sausage and truffle—rich, authentic flavors that really shine. The food is consistently top-notch. However, I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the service. After four visits, for whatever reason, it never goes smoothly. We’ve encountered issues each time, whether it’s long waits for food or not being helped promptly. If they improved the service, it would easily be a 5-star experience!

Absolutely speaking, the food is pretty good, but the experience still does not match the price. For over $150 for the items pictured (which are relatively simple and do not require excessive preparation, we’re not talking fine/dining here), I expect nothing short of perfection on all fronts, which Bello did not deliver.

First of all, service was lackluster. Our waitress was more busy chatting than attending to our needs and it was often pretty difficult to get a hold of her. Second, the food had varying quality. The pistachio cheesecake dessert was abysmal. For $15, it’s the size of a cupcake, had extremely dry exterior because it is baked individually, and had no trace of pistachio flavor. The bolognese had an outstanding ragu with high quality and tender meat, but the pasta was unfortunately overcooked and mushy. The seafood pasta was perfectly al dente but really lacked any flavor other than the seafood itself. I can taste the seafood essence in the sauce which was likely reduced from real and very fresh seafood, but the flavor profile fell very flat compared to the bolognese. The best dish was the margherita, but it needed an either heavier or more well dispersed amount of basil.

I have been wanting to try this place ever since I Saw them on IG!  We had family visiting from out of town and decided to bring them here tonight! I AM so glad I did! Same day Reservations was easy to make. The food is SO delicious and authentic. I love their freshly hand made pastas. The pizza 🍕 dough was to die for 🤤! Our server was the sweetest, and walked us through the whole menu and gave us her recommendations. The owner also came to say hello, and introduced him self and came back multiple times during dinner to check on us. The decorations and lighting was perfect, and I love the fact that it was not noise or loud inside even though it was a full house on a Tuesday night! A must try if you are looking for a new Italian spot!

Extremely overpriced. Not fine dining. Not one item we ordered was tasty. Service was ok but I’m not sure why he deserves a $90 tip. I wouldn’t return even if the prices were reduced by 50%. Maybe it was just us but my son (who never not finish pizza) didn’t even finish his pizza. Tiramisu was decent.

We recently revisited Bello after having a great dinner in the past, but unfortunately, it seems to have lost its touch. The quality of the food was noticeably lower than I remember — dishes that were once full of flavor now felt bland and uninspired. After a few bites, we just left to have dinner elsewhere.

California

Om du har varit i Italien de senaste åren och ätit där, vet du att det som serveras över hela Amerika och passerar för italiensk mat är en farce. Men om du hittar en pärla från en italiensk plats som Bello av Sandro Nardone i Newport Beach, gör du en punkt att gå. Jag pratar om färsk handgjord pasta som görs dagligen. Du kan berätta från strukturen i skålen. Smakerna uttalades i allt vi försökte.

Mina vänner och jag hade en tidig Galentines firande på Bello under helgen. Vi hade en middagsreservation och satt utanför på uteplatsen där det var tystare. Restaurangen var livlig och lite bullrig. Vi beställde cocktails att starta. Cappuccino negroni och L’Amafitano (Titos vodka med limoncello och citronsaft) var bra att börja med. Vår server, Florindo, föreslog ett italiensk vin när det vin som min vän ville såldes ut för natten. Han tog också ut skivad bröd med olivolja. Brödet var lätt krispigt på utsidan med ett mjukt centrum. Det var underbart. Vi beställde sedan Insalata, Porchettina (fläskmage) förrätt, Norcia (fläskkorv och svamp med rakade svarta tryfflar), Pomodoro (tomater 3 sätt) och Strascinati (fänkål korv och rapini) pasta förrätter. Insalataen har ansjovis i sig vilket är hur den ska vara. Salladen serverades hela blad med massor av parmesan. Det var riktigt välsmakande. Pastan är chewy och läcker. Jag älskade mina och mina vänner gillade verkligen deras. Strascinati var favoriten men min Norcia var en nära 2: a. Jag älskade bitarna av svamp och de chewy texturerna. Tryffeln var subtil och inte överväldigande. Våra servrar var fantastiska. Vi var tvungna att begära att få vatten fyllt en gång.

Till dessert hade de bara tres leches tiramisu så vi beställde en att dela. Den anlände med en massa orange zest på det och två av mina vänner brydde sig inte om det. Jag hade det bra med det så mer för mig! Om jag kunde äta här varje dag skulle jag göra det. Det är så bra. De har rätter på menyn som är modern italiensk eller vad som serveras i Italien idag. Om du är öppen för att prova italiensk mat som den ska vara, kolla in Bello av Sandro Nardone.

Vi har tradition för att fira våra respektive födelsedagar genom att ta våra vänner till en ny restaurang eller en som vi inte har besökt. Det gör måltiden och äventyret. Vi lägger också till ett element av överraskning. Vi vet inte vart vi ska förrän vi kommer fram till dörren. Så när jag såg att de valde Bello, blev jag glad.

Att ha bott i Italien, att hitta en italiensk restaurang som inte är en italiensk - amerikansk restaurang är en utmaning. Granskningen nämnde att detta inte var italiensk - amerikansk. Så jag var allt inne.

Vi delade 3 aptitretare: bläckfisken med rapini, kalvkötttungan och den pocherade hummer. Utmärket var kalvkötttungan. Det var ömt och smakrikt utan att vara salt. Jag älskar bläckfisk (pulpo) men tyvärr upptäckte jag att även om detta var en generös del var det för salt för mig. Hummer var trevlig. Jag är inte en fan av hummer, men smakade det för att se hur det var; bra men inte anmärkningsvärt.
Jag beställde sedan den gröna sallad. Den sa att den använde Gem-sallad. Det var inget annat än en Caesar sallad. Jag delade detta med min make. Det var okej. För huvudrätten hade jag bucatini alla Amatriciana. Såsen var mycket bra, men för min smak var pastan för al dente. Medan jag delade detta igen. Den anlände till en platta med en diameter på 14 tum men pastan upptagen bara 6 tum i mitten. De andra rätterna var Norcia-pasta med korv och porccinisvamp och rostad höna. Medan en halv kyckling serverades har jag aldrig sett att båda bitarna var lår och ben. Huden var inte krispig och vår vän sa att hon borde ha beställt en pastarätt istället. Tyvärr, den mest förväntade kursen, var dessert den mest nedslående. Panna Cotta var intetsägande och kändes inte rik. Chokladtårta, som inte var igenkänd, var otillfredsställande. Skorpan var tuff även när jag begärde en kniv. Fyllningen var överväldigande. Jag var så ledsen
