Why Travelers Love BELLAGIO
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Loved the ambience and food. I loved my stuffed salmon. The staff could be a bit more friendly. There was one waiter we asked about available fruit juice options. He simply confirmed they had fruit juices but walked away without telling us the options. He wasn't our assigned waiter but that is not an excuse right?! Generally enjoyed our time. We visited The Bellagio for my mother-in-law’s birthday and had such a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely fantastic — every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. They've recently moved into a larger space, and it really shows; the atmosphere is spacious, stylish and welcoming, making it perfect for a special occasion. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole evening felt relaxed and enjoyable. Honestly, a fantastic place — highly recommended! We’ll definitely be back. We had an awesome time. Such excellent food, the Burnt Butter and Sage Gnocchi was wonderful. The service was lovely and the feel of the space is great. 10/10 would recommend.

First class, fine dining. Simple yet elegant. Food was delicious, Mimosas were effective;) We had to try the soufflé, it's not often we see that on a menu. Will be back.

What a beautiful, cosy restaurant! Even though it's right next door to a super busy centre, it manages to remain unbothered. It's cosy and intimate, fresh flowers on every table, dim lighting (Perfect if you're trying to be all romantic, brownie points to boyfie) 1) The most beautiful Mille Feuille 2) Fillet with a mushroom and cognac sauce It's not very often I go to a place and know INSTANTLY that I'll be back again, but Bellagio is definitely an exception to that. I'll be baaack (for that soufflé)
