   Was very disappointed, the zuchini starter was okay, but the soil dipping sauce had a strong metallic tinny aftertaste, we were served barely warm cappuccinos, which the server did remedy by bringing us new ones. My request was for a nice table, yet we received a part booth part table which was not very private and very loud. My wife ordered the lobster shrimp pasta, the lobster chunks were mushy in texture, seemed undercooked. I ordered the walleye with capers which was good at first, but half the walleye was burned on the bottom, which left a horrible taste in my mouth. The server was very friendly and did bring us complimentary tiramisu for our 27th anniversary which was delicious. I also ordered at the time of our meal a chicken fettuccini Alfredo for my son, which he seemed to enjoy. I do feel for 140 dollars the meal was very subpar enjoying only 1 out of 3 meals and a desert and the second attempt warm cappuccinos. The restaurant does offer a 3.5 percent cash discount which is refreshing to see a discount rather than a surprise surcharge for using credit.

   The expansive wine list is somewhat unusual outside of the Twin Cities Metro area in Minnesota. The food was very good and service was excellent.

   As usual, Bellisio’s continues to impress. Their food is still top-notch and worth the price. Their ambiance is wonderfully warm and relaxing. Now we have the staff… outstanding! Blair was our waiter and we’ve had him the last 3 visits. He’s great!!! Friendly, attentive without hovering. The rest of the staff is very friendly and also attentive. We love Bellisio’s and make it a point to come in when we can.

   I ordered a steak and I should have ordered pasta. This is not a steak house and while the 12oz filet is supposed to be made to order it was not. I ordered it medium thinking it would be medium rare. It was overdone on the outside and almost very mushy rare in the center. Our server was surface level polite but a little condescending and not very attentive. I did not ask for it to be re-done because of this. I understand that this is not a steak house but I also feel that, for a restaurant with its reputation, you should not offer a filet mignon if you do not know the finer points of cooking a steak.

   No free bread with the meal? So odd for an Italian restaurant. Expensive, server was attentive but smelled like cigarettes, which grossed us out! Just wasn’t worth the cost, in our opinion.

   Another great experience at Bellisio’s. The wine and food were amazing and our server was excellent.  if you’re a seafood lover, I highly recommend the lobster ravioli with shrimp. Also loved the seafood bisque that was the appetizer special and the bread basket.  My boyfriend had the “Pasta alla Arrabbiata with Italian Sausage”. It was a little spicy for me, but he thought it was absolutely delicious! We ended with the butter toffee cake and some Limoncello for dessert. Wonderful meal from start to finish.
