Osteria Bellavista In Fonte

We ate really well. All the ingredients were fresh, flavorful, and carefully selected; the pairings were very sophisticated and satisfying. However, I must make a valid criticism. It's unfair that there's no menu and the dishes are listed verbally by the waiter. It's unethical (given the bill that arrived at the end!) and it doesn't allow you to calmly decide what to order. There's literally no time to understand what the waiter is offering you (because the list is long and the dishes are very sophisticated; by the time they've all been listed, you've forgotten half of what they suggested), or to discuss it with your fellow diners, or to calmly consider your choice. This is truly annoying considering the quality of the place and the experience one could enjoy. I consider it a serious lack of tact, professionalism, and transparency, so I can't give it full marks.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere in a green oasis. Prices are a bit high.

Elegant yet warm and welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service and excellent fish quality

The dishes and ingredients are of excellent quality. However, the prices are excessive. The quality/price ratio is a bit unbalanced.

Wonderful place, warm and refined atmosphere. High-quality menu. Highly recommended.

A special place to spend a special evening. Every dish was well-balanced, wonderfully coordinated, and perfectly prepared. We felt very comfortable! Many thanks to Raffaele and his team, hopefully see you again soon.

After leaving the nearby spa, we decided to go out for dinner at this little restaurant, which had appealed to me due to its good reviews and beautiful location. Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed, even though we didn't have a reservation. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a unique and refined style. We were told the menu verbally, and we ordered a starter of beef tartare (with giardiniera) and roasted scallops (with patanegra lard and cavolo nero cream), which were both pleasing to the eye and to the taste buds. Moving on to the main course, we were intrigued by the risotto with wild wild herbs and shrimp, so we chose it and, once we had eaten, we were captivated by its delicate flavor. To finish, we chose the classic tiramisu, which was very good. A good value, and we left the restaurant with full bellies and fully satisfied palates! We'll definitely be back!

Very well-kept and warm place, excellent service and excellent food, recommended 🙏🏻❤️

Dinner with friends at this lovely restaurant, filled with interesting objects on the walls, ceiling, and display cases everywhere. The menu is incredibly interesting and everything is tempting. The execution is good, but perhaps the menu description suggests a little more. The Marsala ice cream is excellent. Upon recommendation, we enjoyed a 2016 Piedmontese Pinot Noir, mature and elegant. The service was impeccable, with a friendly and professional approach. The bill was absolutely fair.

Still wearing our coats, we still haven't gotten to the table, and they ask us what water we'd like. We wait for the waiter because there's no menu to read. When he arrives, he reels off the menu. For us, since the dishes require descriptions, it was difficult to decide. We imagine that the other guests' wait was partly our fault. Of course, we couldn't see whether some of the products were frozen or deep-frozen. The prices displayed on a blackboard don't clearly indicate the prices of all the dishes and drinks, nor any possible allergens. We ate, but it wasn't a great start. The appetizers were good. The risotto was a little too al dente, not creamy. The main course was overcooked, and the side dishes were dry. The wines were good. We paid more than we were quoted. The bill also included a cover charge. This time, the experience wasn't positive. We've been there before, and it was better. Hoping that some things will improve, we'll see each other again.
