The quality of the food was SO TERRIBLE.

A truly unique gem offering an inspired take on Italian fine dining. Having previously lived in Italy for several months, I can tell you it is not easy to find true Italian food in the U.S. (as in,NOT garlic bread with chicken parm and overcooked spaghetti smothered in a thick mass of cheese). Bello is a refreshing reminder of the time I lived and traveled throughout Italia. Focused on celebrating the natural flavors of fresh, high quality ingredients, each dish was a joy to the senses – taste, texture, and visual presentation were all top notch.

My favorite Italian restaurant in Newport Beach. I enjoyed all the dishes that I ordered. The grilled octopus was so tender and cooked perfectly. Pasta are homemade and the food is prepared with the freshest ingredients. This is a quality authenic italian restaurant with a modern flare. Sandro the chef/owner is very friendly and caters to the customers needs. Waiter and staff were also attentive.

This was fantastic. We came for my birthday yesterday, and Sandro has made a fan out of me. I am not usually wowed by Italian restaurants, but this was easily top 5 restaurant experiences for me.

Honestly the best pasta and pizza I’ve had in the OC. Phenomenal. Sandro came out to greet us and we told him how amazing every single dish was! Coming from someone who goes to Italy every summer, come HERE!

What a charming place in a not so charming shopping center. This place deserves five stars for its service, food, and ambiance.

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.

Got a reservation here for two very easily with many time slots. Came here on a Friday night, atmosphere is on the louder side upon entering since the bar is at the entrance.
