Great eating at a Bellevue Italian Restaurant

By Luigi DeMarco

For a person who loves to eat and enjoy atmosphere there is no place like Italian Restaurant Bellevue. The atmosphere makes one feel that they have stepped into a classic Italian villa. The sounds of activity taking place throughout the restaurant bring an instant feeling of being among friends.

When one finds a true Italian restaurant it is never a one visit experience. The addiction to the sweet smells of fresh bread, wine, vinegar, and herbs brings the senses alive. Before even opening the door the combined aromas form a soft blanket that reminds one of a holiday kitchen.

The sour chef arrives early every day to create pounds and pounds of fresh egg pasta. This pasta is the embodiment of Northern Italian style cuisine and is used in almost every dish throughout the meal.

A sense of relaxation fills one as soon as they come in the door of the Italian Food Bellevue. A person can sit and enjoy the fresh baked bread with olive oil and wine vinegar, sip a glass of wine, and become completely absorbed in the activities around them. There is no rush to order from the menu as the staff continue to bring wine and refill the bread tray until one feels ready to order their meal.

Sitting at a table that has been dressed in the glow of a candle one begins to relax and enjoy the surroundings of the Bellevue Italian Restaurant. Each smell seems to have it's own place within the restaurant and blends into a mouthwatering aroma as each plate is delivered to it's owner.

The menu is designed in the a style that enhances each distinct style of the different regions of Italy. One can find Northern Italian cuisine which has a more delicate French influence. The foods use butter, cream, risotto, and fresh egg pasta.

All of the ingredients used in the menu selections offer fresh, organic herbs and spices. This, coupled with the style that they are cooked in makes each dish a unique and distinct pleasure to eat.

When a person begins their meal they are provided with one of many antipasto choices. These appetizers are hot and cold and are a wonderful introduction to the meal ahead.

A steaming plat of pasta with the primo course finds one rewakening to the flavors of risotto, or soup that has been hand prepared and made succulent by the talented sous chef.

But then the next steaming plate is delivered to the table. The choices of fish, veal, prawns, shrimp, etc., offer one a plate that is filled with steaming food covered with sauces that melt in the mouth. The lemon sauce that is used to enhance the flavor of the fish combined with the fresh egg pasta is a splendid testament to the region of Italy where it began.

There is nothing quite like Italian cooked vegetables. They are stunning in their simplicity. One can enjoy this contortion or choose a salad with Italian dressing that is made while one waits.

Dessert is one of several Italian favorites. Ice Cream, a bowl of exotic fruit, or something sweet to go with the wine of the evening.

The atmosphere, food, and staff of the Bellevue Italian Restaurant provide one with a lasting impression of what find Italian dining is. The warmth and kindness shown by the staff as well as their attentiveness make one excited at the prospect of returning often to enjoy this great restaurant.
