My favorite place. Harvey, Linda and their sons are so friendly and appreciate their customers! Best Italian food by far! A unique ambiance....that you can't find anywhere else.

We dined on Father’s Day. We were able to be seated without a reservation. There were only two or three people running the entire dining room, but our food was quick, hot and delicious! The portions were generous, although the price was on the higher end. We were a party of three. We shared an appetizer and each had an entree. We ordered the Penne Bolognese, Ciao Europa and the Meat ravioli. All three were spectacular. The staff were friendly and attentive. Lots of available parking. We would definitely eat here again for a special night out.

Edit 4/3/21 I went back here on a double date, to my surprise the owners son remembered me (he has the memory of a computer) and brought lemons for our water without us even asking. Him and his staff checked up on our needs frequently. He recommended some dishes I tried such as the mussels and an amazing chicken special they were serving (I forgot the name). The mussels were fresh, cooked perfectly and in a delicious white garlic sauce. Sauce was so good I dipped my bread in. Presentation was beautiful! On to the entree, a chicken special. Unbelievably delicious. I ate it so fast I was the first one done out of the other 3. It was so good I will get it again next time I go. I will post pictures of the dish so you can ask for it. Amazing. The service and food was top notch. So happy I came back. They care about their customers and genuinely good people. This experience leaves me no choice but to leave 5 stars. The inside of this establishment is very nice. Beautiful wall painting and nice seating on the dining side with an elegant waterfall and on the bar side is a cool led lit up area. Very pleasant staff, they seemed to be short handed and service could have been a little bit better but understandable as there was only 3 wait staff. I had to ask a couple times for drinks and lemon for the water. I eventually went to the bar to get it myself. The appetizers weren't great, the calamari was all rings and no tentacles. Seemed to be breaded a little carelessly as some spots weren't breaded. I don't think they were strained properly because of lots of oil and not a very good crisp crust either. The mozzarella sticks tasted like they came from the frozen section of a grocery store. Their marinara sauce was actually pleasant. I am Italian and its very hard to come by a marinara sauce that's edible let alone good. As far as the entrees and dessert go, absolutely delicious. They cook their steak perfectly. Garnished for presentation and tasted great. I would like to rate 3.5 stars instead of 3 but no option to. If they had more staff this rating would have been a 4. And if their appetizers were a little bit of a higher quality I would have rated a 5. I would go there again. Delicious entrees and nice atmosphere with friendly staff.

Belle Fiore has a wonderful Italian atmosphere. A perfect place for a quite late (7:30pm) dinner for delicious authentic Italian food. We were pretty hungry, so we really appreciated it when our server, Desiree, got us started right away with some incredibly fresh bread which is baked on premise (she later refilled our bread because we enjoyed it so much). My shrimp scampi was delicious with huge prawns and perfectly cooked linguini and capers. My partner order chicken risotto which didn't quite hit the mark expected from such great surroundings - chicken was dry and risotto had a bit of pastiness in it's texture. Our desert cannoli was wonderful, though we thought it was odd that it was not fully stuffed?, Only the ends had filling, and the middle was empty? We didn't try any wine selections on this occasion. All in all, this is a great spot for an authentic Italian dinner.
