Starters

First time eating at Bellagio last night and certainly won't be our last. Everything was perfect; from the STUNNING authentic Italian food to the friendly staff and fantastic atmosphere. We ate as a family and the staff were all so lovely and seemed to enjoy fussing over my 7 year old daughter - who loved the attention! The owner was very present all evening and kept checking in on us throughout our meal. We each ordered 3 courses and shared them all so we could properly get a taste for the food. Every single thing we ordered was beautiful. I honestly can't say enough good things about the place! Definitely the best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at and will be recommending to everyone and returning regularly!
