Bello By Sandro Nardone

Incredible, old world Italian service. They really took it up a notch because it was my birthday and made me a beautiful dessert. Would recommend coming here with a group! The pizzas are divine.

At Bello by Sandro Nardone's Happy Hour, we enjoyed savor handcrafted classic cocktails paired with delectable Neapolitan pizzas: Every bite was a taste of Italy. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Stop reading and just come.Parking lot is packed, and it’s in an unusual center but the Wagyu Ribeye, Truffle Pizza and Panna Cota have all something to have you amped up for. Not just seasoned well, has layers of flavor that just make your mouth water.Decor is beautiful, and the ambience is not loud, but enough to enjoy a special night without yelling. Ver carta

Place is pricey... ambiance is not classy... not a fine dining place. felt like sitting in ordinary place, tables had no table cloths, chairs were hard... portion sizes were small...food was tasty though... but, no vegetarian dishes other than salad.. not good for vegetarians. Vegetarian options: No Vegetarian choices... Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The service here is excellent, but the food falls short. The portions are tiny—so small that you’ll leave feeling hungry. If you have any food allergies, you might as well forget it; they won't accommodate your dietary preferences. It’s more like "take it or leave it." I won’t be returning. The octopus dish looked like a disgusting piece of spoiled seafood, and the presentation was awful.

We weren't lucky as we got a table outside. Smell coming from the parking lot, so the overall experience was ruined.Messy table and service as they lack personnel (kudos to those serving tonight taking all the job on them).Great sashimi in a pea broth.Amazing pizza.The pasta dish and prawns were more Mexican style than Italian. Pasta itself of very good quality.Overall the raw materials are outstanding.We'll try again as I am sure that they can offer a way better experience than the one we had tonight.All the best to the Bello Team.

This restaurant was overall an average restaurant. There was nothing great or memorable about it. The good, service and employees were very nice and very pleasant and helpful. Other than that, portions are very small (for the price), menu is overpriced, food taste is average, venue is not bad but not memorable or special, restaurant is noisy. I remember mid dinner I told my wife it 's ok but you know we 're not gonna come here again. She smiled and nodded. Word of advice, there are much better places in NPB and Irvine at that price level

What a great wine dinner and evening at Bello by Sandro Nardone with The Wines of Jesse Katz.We enjoyed six courses expertly paired with nine of Jesse most beautiful wines from both The Setting Wines and Aperture Cellars.Spectacular Bello Menu Included ?️?

**Pasta Problem:** The homemade pasta, which is advertised as fresh, resembles cheap instant noodles, like those from Nissin that cost less than $1. If the restaurant can't make decent pasta from scratch, they should consider sourcing a better quality option from the local supermarket. **Menu Concerns:** The La Nostra Bolognese sauce is disappointing. This is one of the simplest and most traditional sauces to make at any Italian establishment, and I can only imagine that any Italian diner would find it inedible and demand a refund. The Ragu di Gamberi was just as bad, being excessively oily, flavorless, and overwhelmed by black pepper. The Burrata appetizer was a letdown on multiple count... Ver carta
