Bellissimo is a true hidden gem in Toronto. Good food at very reasonable prices and a great patio. The owner is a genuine guy who clearly cares about every single customer. He has gone above and beyond on multiple occasions to make our group feel special, including a complimentary birthday dessert or a round of shots on the house! Would recommend!

I’ve been here three times and it never disappoints! Great value for a hearty, tasty dish. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is the best dish in my opinion. This time we also tried steak sandwich and we wanted it cooked medium and it was perfect.

Homemade deliciousness in a casual venue! The fresh in-house made Cheese Manicotti is my personal favourite! At 17.50 it's the best deal for pasta in the city! The Lasagna is also amazing. Their soups are Awesome! Had the chicken and rice and loved it. Personal favourite is still the chicken noodle. Absolutely no Campbell's canned nonsense served here!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto, i ordered large Margarita for me and mom. It was so yummy and big with a good price, the place is cozy and cool. Can’t wait to come back with my friends to try different plates!

Bellissimo has been on my list of places to try for years as it's one of the few restaurants on the east side of Esplanade. I came on a Friday afternoon at around 12:50PM and it was quite busy inside. I ordered a medium 3 topping pizza to go for 15 (tax included). I liked their pizza as it was saucy and they didn't skimp out on the toppings. I also thought it was quite big for a medium. The dough was on the softer and thinner side. I think I'd request to get it well done next time. Would recommend and come back to try other items.

My friend and I visited this restaurant today and it was hands down one of the best experiences we have ever had at an Italian place. From the moment we walked through the door, the host was kind and welcoming. He sat us outside upon our ...
