Why Bello Sucks
The two people who wrote in below are obviously regulars. Regulars (average age 60-to-dead) are treated well and dont seem to mind the terrible food. I can understand why this place was so badly reviewed. If you are not a regular you are treated with contempt beyond belief. My family had a reservation at 8:00 and we waited at the bar for 30 minutes even though we arrived on time. Another party of four, obviously well loved regulars, arrived without a reservation and was seated immediately. When I complained to the manager and then the owner, I was rudely told to go elsewhere if I didnt like it. The owners breath smelled of wine. My family didnt want trouble so we stayed to taste the terrible, bland food.

Terrific
We have been to Bello's on about 8 occasions and have never been disappointed. They have always honored resevervations,food & service can't be beat. Price is right.

Great first visit
We went with my wife's parents and our reservations were honoured without hassle. Service was a bit slow as our waiter could never be found. Food was great, lots of daily specials to choose from. My wife loved her vongole bianco which was loaded with un-shelled clams. Not the most romantic but a good place to take visiting parents. We'll definitely go back.

Nice Place horrible atmosphere
I went there last night expecting a nice dinner and I did get that. However while I was sitting there eating my dinner, I had 5 girls at the next table screaming, swearing, and just talking about having sex with the manager. And the funniest thing the manager was sitting right there and did nothing. I would recommend the food, but not the restaurant. Worst place I ever ate.

a fine place
went there for an early business dinner midweek. seated promptly. tables well spaced. air conditioning working- fine air circulation. service almost personalized. waiter's accent was a tad thick. wine served promptly at proper temperature. ordered off the menu- caesar salad was exceptional, pasta and chicken dishes were served quickly at the proper temperature and were fine. coffee below par. prices are wonderful. a very solid place.

Wonderful place
Have been going here for 12 years, haven't had a bad meal yet. Sometimes service is a little slow and you may have to wait for a table.

Terrible experience. The food was wonderful, however... My husband doesn't like vegetables and made a point to ask the waiter if he could have a side of pasta instead. The waiter said "sure". When the bill came, the side of pasta cost us almost $10. When my husband spoke to the manager, the manager apologized that the waiter changed $1.50 too much. Shouldn't the waiter tell us beforehand that there would be a charge? If we bring the matter to the manager, shouldn't he do something other than reduce the charge? Honestly, adding $8.50 for a side of pasta with tomato sauce was a rip off. Don't go. There are a lot of really cute restaurants right across the street!

Great neighborhood Italian
I always enjoy eating at Bello. The decor and service you receive surpasses anything you will find along 9th avenue. This place has been in business a while and has consistently delivers on quality. I also used their private party room- which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Pretty good, not great. Family style atmosphere.
I'm from the provinces, so any restaurant in Manhattan that you can get a main course for under 20 is attractive. I had the mussels, they were tasty, but for the same price I get 3x better in my town (Houston). The side vegetables were inedible.

Fine Italian Food
The food at Bello's was fantastic. I went with a group of people and there were no complaints. Chicken parmesean, alfredo and chicken were great.

Good place!
I've been going to Bello since 1989. That''s when it was one of the only good restaurants in Hell's Kitchen. If you like veal you must try the stuffed veal. It's not on the menu but it's the nightly special every night. Go hungry because this dish is enough for two people. Some foodies say that you can tell a good Italian restaurant by it's Chicken Parm. Well the chicken and Veal parm is off the hook! Bello definitely caters to the older money crowd. But all-ages come here...and so should you!

Not Good..
i didnt like the food or the atmosphere. well, the food was alright. too snooty and expensive for what it is. the wine list is almost too extensive...it seems to be trying too hard. any way the wait staff was nice.Worldwide > United States > New York, NY > Italian Restaurants
