Bellasera - LARCHMONT

We had a very good meal in bellasera on Wednesday night. the service was attentive, but not too much so. eating was pretty good. our waiter recommendations were very helpful. we enjoyed the fried artichokes, oktopus, heavy fish (although a bit too saucy) and the chicken stable. our cocktails were very delicious! we will certainly go back and recommend others.

The food was exceptional and the waiter readily agreed to turn down the background music to an acceptable level.

My wife and I went on a family recommendation, we were highly disappointed. First it seemed that they didn’t have our open table reservation and seemingly threw us in a corner table by the bar. Bar patrons were drunk and loud and cursing up a storm

Here’s the good and the bad. Good: excellent fried calamari, cocktails and table breads, very accommodating manager who attempted to assist with service Bad: very slow service (30 mins to get menus had to ask manager for them! , very loud, white clam sauce came with only a dozen very small cockles, have of which were just empty shells

This was our second visit because the first time was so good. This visit was also very good however, I wasn't to pleased with the fried oysters, they just didn't taste terrific. Our other dishes were very good. It was an anniversary dinner and we wanted to introduce the restaurant to our son and daughter in law. They enjoyed it very much as well, but like me, my son didn't care for the fried oysters. Oh well, not a catastrophe! We'll all certainly be bag as everything else in food, cleanliness, service and ambiance were wonderful!
