The sun is shining, the drinks are cold, the pasta is hot, and yes... that focaccia is fresh out of the oven.

If you know, you know. 👀

There are still a few spots available for tonight, so if you’d rather skip the downtown crowds and settle into something a little cozier, give us a call at 709-221-3048 and we’ll save you a seat!

🍹 Cold drinks.
🍝 Delicious pasta.
🍞 *That* focaccia.

10 years ago today, Bellissimo opened its doors for the very first time.

What followed has been a decade filled with challenges and triumphs, love and loss, friendships formed, milestones celebrated, and countless memories shared around our tables.

We’ve had the privilege of being part of first dates, anniversaries, birthdays, business deals, family gatherings, and those spontaneous nights out that somehow become the ones you remember most.

None of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our guests, staff, friends, and community. Thank you for choosing us, supporting us, and growing with us over the past 10 years.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’d love to hear from you.

Do you have a favourite Bellissimo memory? A special meal, a celebration, a favourite dish, or a moment that stands out?

Share it with us in the comments.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made together—and to many more still to come. ❤️

The pedestrian mall is officially open, and we get it... sunshine and patio hopping.

But if you’re looking for a cold cocktail, a proper glass of w**e, delicious pasta made by people who take it personally, and a seat that doesn’t require camping equipment, we know a place!

Dinner starts at 5. The drinks are cold. The kitchen is ready. And we’re just stubborn enough to keep making great Italian food all summer long.

See you for dinner. 🍝🍷

Still a few tables available, book yours now!

Newfoundland lobster season is here.

Some chefs see a crate of fresh lobster and think, “Let’s keep it simple.”

Our Chef looked at it and immediately chose chaos.

Tonight’s feature combines fresh local lobster with a little heat, because apparently “just lobster” wasn’t exciting enough.

It’s rich. It’s spicy. It’s seasonal. And it’ll probably be gone before someone asks if we can save them one.

🦞🌶️👀

Dinner starts at 5.

Your house has had enough of you.

Come smell prosciutto, capicola, fresh pasta, and better life choices instead.

The Chinched collab is still going strong and the meat lineup is honestly getting a little ridiculous in the best possible way. Add the Chinched upgrade to your antipasto and make some excellent decisions tonight.

Feature menu is looking dangerous too:
🍕 Roasted mushroom & pork belly pizza
🍝 Pork rib ragu on pappardelle

Get out for dinner tonight. We’ll make it worth leaving the house for. 🥂

Bellissimo 🤝 Chinched Meats

We decided to get a little fancy with it. 🇮🇹✨

We’re testing out some Chinched meats at Bellissimo and starting strong with a feature sandwich starring their ridiculously good mortadella. Because if we’re doing sandwiches, we’re not doing sad desk lunches. 🥪

You can also upgrade your antipasto platter with Chinched meats for an additional charge — and frankly, if you’re already ordering antipasto, you may as well commit to the lifestyle. 🍷🧀

This is a trial run for now, so if you want these local collaborations and elevated ingredients to stick around, now’s the time to make poor financial decisions in the form of cured meats.

Come hungry. Bring friends. Pretend you’re in Italy for an hour.
