Reviews for Bella Fiore Restaurante in Norwich, CT
My first time in this classic Italian restaurant. It is a great value from cocktails to dinner and bottles of wine. The food... is delicious and plentiful. The staff is attentive, but not under foot. It was a great spot for drinks and dinner. I will beback. Read more
We dined on Father’s Day. We were able to be seated without a reservation. There were only two or three people running the... entire dining room, but our food was quick, hot and delicious! The portions were generous, although the price was on the higherend. We were a party of three. We shared an appetizer and each had an entree. We ordered the Penne Bolognese, Ciao Europa andthe Meat ravioli. All three were spectacular. The staff were friendly and attentive. Lots of available parking. We woulddefinitely eat here again for a special night out. Read more
Edit 4/3/21 I went back here on a double date, to my surprise the owners son remembered me (he has the memory of a computer) and... brought lemons for our water without us even asking. Him and his staff checked up on our needs frequently. He recommended somedishes I tried such as the mussels and an amazing chicken special they were serving (I forgot the name). The mussels were fresh,cooked perfectly and in a delicious white garlic sauce. Sauce was so good I dipped my bread in. Presentation was beautiful! Onto the entree, a chicken special. Unbelievably delicious. I ate it so fast I was the first one done out of the other 3. It wasso good I will get it again next time I go. I will post pictures of the dish so you can ask for it. Amazing. The service andfood was top notch. So happy I came back. They care about their customers and genuinely good people. This experience leaves meno choice but to leave 5 stars. The inside of this establishment is very nice. Beautiful wall painting and nice seating on thedining side with an elegant waterfall and on the bar side is a cool led lit up area. Very pleasant staff, they seemed to beshort handed and service could have been a little bit better but understandable as there was only 3 wait staff. I had to ask acouple times for drinks and lemon for the water. I eventually went to the bar to get it myself. The appetizers weren't great,the calamari was all rings and no tentacles. Seemed to be breaded a little carelessly as some spots weren't breaded. I don'tthink they were strained properly because of lots of oil and not a very good crisp crust either. The mozzarella sticks tastedlike they came from the frozen section of a grocery store. Their marinara sauce was actually pleasant. I am Italian and its veryhard to come by a marinara sauce that's edible let alone good. As far as the entrees and dessert go, absolutely delicious. Theycook their steak perfectly. Garnished for presentation and tasted great. I would like to rate 3. Read more
This place might confuse as the bar area is a Mexican theme while the other part of the building is Italian in design & food. A... wonderful venue & eager to please. We were out on enjoyable evening so our price was a bit more than most, yet the company of aloved one can not have a price. Read more
Really came through with a wonderful Valentines dinner special. The environment was very nice easy for conversation and an... enjoyable experience. Food was cooked perfectly and portions were generous. I held out hope and was not let down. Recommend toanybody looking for a nice upscale place to have a great night out. Read more
Belle Fiore has a wonderful Italian atmosphere. A perfect place for a quite late (7:30pm) dinner for delicious authentic Italian... food. We were pretty hungry, so we really appreciated it when our server, Desiree, got us started right away with someincredibly fresh bread which is baked on premise (she later refilled our bread because we enjoyed it so much). My shrimp scampiwas delicious with huge prawns and perfectly cooked linguini and capers. My partner order chicken risotto which didn't quite hitthe mark expected from such great surroundings - chicken was dry and risotto had a bit of pastiness in it's texture. Our desertcannoli was wonderful, though we thought it was odd that it was not fully stuffed?, Only the ends had filling, and the middlewas empty? We didn't try any wine selections on this occasion. All in all, this is a great spot for an authentic Italian dinner. Read more
I must say the waiter was excellent!!! The food not so much. I ordered the fish and chips and it was very dry and tasted like it... was cooked the day before. I also ordered shrimp cocktail and on the menu it says jumbo this must’ve been the babies of thejumbo shrimp. My son ordered the chicken risotto and said it was very good. Read more
Nice place for dinner. Super clean with a friendly staff. Large menu with a mix of Italian, American, and others. My wife’s... baked stuff sole was outstanding. Read more
