Absolutely LOVE this place! So cozy and cute. The staff is really nice and welcoming. The food is delicious! Highly recommend the brunch. The spicy chicken sandwich, hot Italian beef and arancini are all very good! Love the bar and patio out back. I hope this place sticks around it’s a great addition to downtown.

My son (5) and I went for lunch and they treated us so well. Very friendly and attentive service. Pasta was yummy and great meatballs. Everything was a hit for my little guy. Good family spot with a lot more dining areas in the back. Looked like a cozy bar in the back w room for live music. This is a newer spot in town that you should try out. They are eager to please and serve good food.

Me and my family went here for Sunday dinner and it was beyond FANTASTIC. We were welcomed and sat down by the two owners as soon as we walked through the door. The food came out relatively quickly. Everything was hot and made from scratch! Also, check out some of the artwork on the walls painted by local artists! I will definitely be frequently this place more often.

The food was very good, extremely tasty and satisfying. The portions were appropriate and enough. The staff was very welcoming, and Ruth made us feel as though we were part of the family. The atmosphere was a nice small town restaurant feel and very warm. They have a back room for parties and an outside patio. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will definitely be back.

Food was great. We had the Italian beef omelet, Italian sausage, and the Manzo pasta with chicken. All three dishes were delicious and just the right portion. Prices were between 8 to 16 dollars. After trying all dishes I highly recommend the Manzo pasta dish it has such a savory taste that it will shock your taste buds in the first bite. Come try them out! Came back and tried the sandwiches and the Arancini. Did not disappoint! I really enjoyed the fish sandwich this time.

OUTSTANDING! We just had a family celebration (20 people) at Bello Manzo, and we could not be any happier. We reserved the outside patio. The food was amazing, the prices were very reasonable, and most importantly, the service was the best I have ever seen. Ruth and the entire staff went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. They worked with us to ensure we had the correct amount of food without ordering too much. They were very accommodating with how we wanted the patio to look with our decorations. You can tell that this is a family-owned business that really cares about its customers. If you are looking for a great place to host a party, or just a nice dinner, you will not be disappointed with Bella Manzo. There is no doubt that we will be returning here again and again. Thank you to Bello Manzo!

We had a lovely dinner here at Bello Manzo. Ruth (she and her husband own the restaurant) made us feel very welcome. We took the only outside table on the street. It was First Friday so there were lots of people walking by and it was clear that in its 10 months, Bello Manzo has developed relationships with a lot of the locals. We split a house salad (very nice) and we both ordered the Pasta Manzo (with marinara sauce; the man ordered his with sausage) and we both thought it was delicious. I had a glass of the house wine - an Italian red - and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We were too full for dessert so I can’t comment on the selection. After we ate, Ruth walked us through the restaurant and we were shocked to see how big it is. It just goes on and on, culminating in the back with backyard outdoor patio seating and a bar with a dance floor. This is a great place for a quiet dinner for two or a large party. We loved it and will be back.

Food was incredible, very very tasty, fresh, perfectly balanced. Our table shared family style. We had the meatballs, arancini, manzo pasta with chicken, baptized italian combo, pasta parm chicken, and mahi with couscous. For dessert we had the chocolate cake and canoli. We were not left wanting! Every plate was cleaned and we went home with full happy bellies. Would highly recommend everything we ate. Don't think you can really go wrong!
