Editorial Review for Bellagio Italian Bistro – by Susan Kirr

In Short
Bellagio has a refined, classic feel and encourages an unrushed, quiet dinner. An antique walnut bar offers a peaceful spot to decompress with an aperitif. The spacious dining room creates understated elegance with scored concrete floors, taupe walls with cream molding, gilded mirrors, paintings and sculpture. Baked risotto is prepared in a small dish lined with paper-thin slices of eggplant. For dessert, the pignoli torte consists of chopped pine nuts mixed into a shortbread-like torte.

Excellent food. Great shell fish risotto. It was a special and it was out of this world. We had calamari, osso bucco, and some ravioli. Everything was tasty. The service was nice. Attentive and happy.

Pros: food, service

I better be very convinced I'm getting what I pay for at $25 a plate. Bellagio didn't rise to the occasion. My shrimp & pasta was bland, as was my husband's beef. Our waiter got one wine order and ran away without getting the rest- not what I would expect when I'm paying 100+ per couple. On a good note, the calamari is outstanding and the dessert I had gave Chez Zee's best a run for the money. Back to the bad: interior is pretentious and tacky. Much, much better Italian food is to be had, even in Austin, at this price point and much lower ones.

Pros: Great desserts and calamari

Cons: Dinners, price tag
