Bellissima Italian Mediterranean Restaurant – Authentic Italian Cuisine & Warm Hospitality in Austin, TX

Good experience overall. The service was great! Penne alla vodka that my husband got was delicious. The seafood pasta was good but for the price it could have more flavor, specifically the marinara sauce that was mostly just salty.

The food was amazing! My husband and I enjoyed it so much. Our server, Sean, was excellent and very helpful He recommended that we try the ravioli, which was a great choice and we loved it. I ordered the meat lasagna, which was the best I’ve ever had, and my husband ordered the steak pasta, which was also delicious.

We stepped off a plane from Tucson, but it feels like we landed in Tuscany! The atmosphere is perfect, the service is impeccable, the hospitality is unmatched, and the food… straight from Italy! ???????? We had the shrimp appetizer (a must have!) with the most deliciously perfectly seasoned sauce, and a wood fired pizza which had the best crust we have ever tasted! You just MUST…

Everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. The Parmesan crusted salmon, chicken Parmesan sandwich and eggplant Parmesan and pasta were all amazing. This is definitely a hidden gem that I’m so glad I found. The staff is exceptional and the drinks are perfect every time.

Absolutely outstanding. The Dimari pasta delivered an extraordinary ocean-fresh flavor truly an 11 out of 10. The lobster ravioli were rich, delicate, and unforgettable. Our server, whose name we unfortunately didn’t get, was incredibly attentive and gentle the entire time, which made the experience even better. A memorable Italian dinner from start to finish.

I celebrated my birthday at Bellissima and overall had a great experience. The surf and twist spaghetti my wife ordered was spectacular - possibly one of the best pastas we've had in Austin. The aroma of caramelized lemon with butter coming from the kitchen was incredible, and that flavor was perfectly reflected in the dish. The sun-dried tomatoes added an extraordinary depth of flavor. On my end, the Salmon Florentine was decent but lacked flavor - it didn't reach the level I would expect. The tiramisu was very good (and we appreciated the courtesy for my birthday), though it took over 10 minutes to arrive with the restaurant nearly empty. The atmosphere was beautiful - very welcoming, clean, and pleasant. It smelled fresh and looked lovely, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. We noticed people dressed casually, which made it feel comfortable and approachable. A couple of areas for improvement: the service was somewhat lacking - we had to wait quite a bit on several occasions to get attended to. And I was surprised that they don't offer espresso. Despite these details, we would definitely return to try other pastas, especially after how incredible my wife's dish was.

Great locally owned Italian restaurant. I have been twice and loved it both times. There's usually live music on Friday nights, if you're interested. The lasagna is to die for. Request an add-on of bolognese sauce poured over the top for a small upcharge. It makes it extra meaty and rich. The lasagna is a very generous portion. Only ate half of it and brought the rest home. The penne with spicy sausage is also really yummy. It has a creamy tomato sauce. Also a very large portion. Easy parking. Definitely recommend making a reservation if going at prime time Fri, Sat, Sun. Enjoy!
