Restaurant Bella Iseo In Iseo

Absolute TOP experience. So, let's start from the location, which is simply wonderful: literally on the lake, with a sunset view, complete with a port for parking boats. Inside, modern and minimal design, with extreme attention to detail, colors such as black, gold and red dominate, with a starry ceiling similar to Rolls Royce. The interior left me speechless. Then, food: everything was impeccable. from the seaweed breadsticks from the lake, to the 48-hour leavened bread, through to the best prawns I've ever tasted, as you can see from the photos, the quality is evident, and there's a lot of it here. Lots of seasonal ingredients at km 0. Very delicate and "harmonious" dishes. The chef we had the pleasure of speaking with is a very kind and calm Neapolitan, with 20 years of experience in starred kitchens. Here we are not at the level of a starred one, but we are close. Each dish is an experience, and one is better than the other, you can feel all the passion and care of the chef. The only flaw I give to the cotechino, which was a version for me to review because it was rectangular, full of spices, and so far ok, but too hard. The cotechino should melt in your mouth and cut with a fork. That was chewy. Big shame, but everything else was breathtaking. There wasn't a disappointing dish (except the cotechino). Impeccable service. Few but good. There were 3 of them, but super fast, professional, kind and helpful. Really top. We went to the New Year's Eve dinner, €160 each, for an 8-course dinner + panettone with water, coffee and bread included. Price a little above average, but it's worth it all between the wonderful location and excellent general quality. Too bad that, at the entrance, they offered us a welcome glass of champagne, we accepted thinking that it was included. Bitter discovery: €40 more. 20 each. Crazy price in my opinion. For €40 I could get a good whole bottle of champagne. Other than this, there are no other negative notes. But a piece of advice: booking is highly recommended. There are literally 20 tables inside. It's just a room. Which is good because it will never be a mess, but it fills up quickly. Definitely positive experience, if you want to make a good impression on the girl, go here without fail. Ah, last thing: I advise against bringing children, it is an elegant and refined place, some time passes between one dish and another, in short, it is very boring for a child (I say this because there was a couple with their two children. All the time playing Clash Royale on the phone). No sense

It's a unique experience. Highly recommended!!

Esperienza culinaria di livello superiore, preparazioni curate dallo Chef in ogni minimo dettaglio, belle da vedere e buone da gustare, in un ambiente calorosamente accogliente e meravigliosamente elegante. La posizione direttamente in riva al lago d’Iseo è il plus che rende tutto ancora più magico ed esclusivo. Non un ristorante comune, un luogo unico nel suo genere, che mancava. Personale di sala gentile, preparato ed attento. Grazie a tutto il Team per averci coccolato e viziato. Torneremo presto. Elena

The renovation has made the environment even more refined and welcoming, the impeccable service is provided by the professional and empathetic staff. The food is sublime, you can feel the research, passion and love towards this work. Thank you all for making my birthday unforgettable.

Beautiful place by the lake, with delicious and special dishes! I recommend it and will definitely return to this restaurant!

Dinner with colleagues, all hoteliers, therefore all very attentive and sometimes too fussy in expressing their opinion. Here we found an excellent quality of the raw materials that make up each dish, the impeccable almost obsessive presentation of the dishes, creativity and originality of the starred chef's recipes. The attentive and professional service, especially from Chiara, who is very good at explaining every single course, the modern and elegant design, the lights and the splendid lake view create a truly unique and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable experience in this restaurant that deserves the Michelin star.. located within the 4-star structure of the Araba fenice hotel.. the chef's dishes are breathtaking.. attentive and never intrusive service.. top wine list.. if do you want to enjoy a stay on the wonderful Lake Iseo... wellness lovers come in large numbers...

Bellissimo ristorante, raffinato alla vista e soprattutto al palato. Da provare!!! Servizio impeccabile , personale molto preparato.Ottima esperienza👏

Excellent experience! The excellent dishes were served and described impeccably! The staff and chef stopped to talk to us (no small feat), and it was absolutely appreciated! Excellent wine recommendations given by the wait staff! It was certainly worth it! We will definitely be back!

A cuisine that amazed us with the quality of the dishes which, in addition to being aesthetically beautiful, also proved to be quite interesting. I don't feel like giving more because if the cuisine manages to be of a high level there are many small details that in my opinion should be fixed to adapt to the competition's proposals (and the cost), first of all the quality of the service. Not that it was rude, but certainly a little more heat wouldn't hurt. Other little things that are easily solvable: the bread, which although well made and with high quality flours needed to be slightly reheated as it had now lost its elasticity having probably been made several hours before. Just like the entrées, now even much lower level restaurants bring at least three while here you have to settle for one. Still on service, I would pay more attention when the waiters take a cigarette break because the smell that remains can be quite annoying if it accompanies a dish that instead has delicate hints. We will certainly return because the cuisine is very interesting, the wine list is well stocked (and at all prices) and I think the environment gives its best with more light, while we, having arrived late, were unable to enjoy the view of the lake .
