It is always a treat dining at Bellamore. Daniel, Rick, & Mike truly make you feel like family when you sit at their table. With amazing service & incredible authentic Italian food, I'd leave a 6th star if I could!
Great Italian trattoria. First experience there & I will return for more. Daniele ( waiter ) & his dad Michele ( the chef ) made our dining experience worth writhing about in this review. Great food, great quaint atmosphere.
If you're looking for a true taste of Bari, this restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm & authentic - the kind of setting that immediately transports you to southern Italy.
We tried a variety of traditional dishes: osobuco cooked to perfection, trippa full of deep, comforting flavors, & the freshest buffalo mozzarella I've ever had. Every bite spoke of quality ingredients & respect for tradition.
The service was truly A1 - attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, making us feel like honored guests rather than just customers.
Simply put, you won't find better food or a more authentic Barese experience outside of Bari itself. Highly recommended for anyone who loves genuine Italian cuisine.

We had an amazing experience at Trattoria Bella More! It's a cozy Italian bring-your-own-wine spot. We shared a delightful mozzarella di bufala appetizer, followed by a tortellini dish & a tender beef shoulder that was absolutely fantastic. The service was exceptional, special shoutout to our waiter, Daniele. We'll definitely be back!
We had the please to eat delicious authentic Italian food. Everything is prepared in house & the Family business owners are awesome. They are really dedicated to not only giving best service but preparing mouthwatering food. Thankyou for your hospitality
It was our first time at the restaurant & it won't be the last!! The food was delicious & unlike a lot of Italian restaurant, not too heavy. The service was great, friendly staff. We loved it!!
Great spot for date night! Quaint & cozy atmosphere & the service was excellent. Our water glasses were always full, orders taken quickly, & accommodated with extra plates for sharing. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine you've found it.
I just had dinner at Bellamore. Highly recommend. The food there is very good. The service is HIGHLY rated for me as Daniel (our waiter/host) was serving 8-9 tables at the same time & we were never missing anything on the table. He just knew when we needed something & his hospitality is incomparable. As for the atmosphere, it's very simple, dimmed lights, very cozy overall. Trattoria Bellamore offers a great Italian restaurant experience that will make you want to come back for more. 10/10 Thank you Daniel
