Surprisingly very good! Fettuccine Gamberetti $19 - [fettuccine alfredo w/ shrimp and mushrooms basically] - very good, extremely creamy. huge shrimps. bf and I shared the pasta and pizza w/ 2 slices leftover. This was one of the waitress's recommendations along w/ the 25th street pasta and i think the main st pasta (fettuccine w/ grilled chicken, italian sausage, mushrooms, sun dried tomato) 25th street pizza $14 - [grilled chicken, smoked sausage, sun dried tomatoes, green onions, diced jalapenos, & alfredo cream sauce] - not your typical red sauce pizza, but it was very good and unique! only a tad spicy. The crust reminded me of garlic bread. Only thing is it could have been crispier, but I think the sauce made it oily / heavy because the leftovers did not crisp up in my air fryer; it stayed soggy (but still delicious). came w/ 6 slices. thin crust pizza. Parking lot next to it (old bball court). Friendly, fast service. We would definitely return. (FYI: Closed on Mondays. No alcohol - It's byob w/ a corking fee.) read more

Food was terrific! The Alfredo pasta was very fresh and cooked very well. We ordered fried calamari and had tiramisu for dessert. We will definitely return! Our waiter was excellent. Little hidden gem. read more

Bellissimo - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Surprisingly great! We actually live in the neighborhood so when we saw a restaurant coming we were excited about it while also worried that it wouldn't be great. We were the first of our neighbors to brave the unknown and WOW we were pleasantly surprised! The place is a byob Italian. Everything is made fresh and is unique. I'm actually not big on Italian but all the pastas and pizzas I've ordered have been great! We have brought friends and family when they visit and they've all loved it! Our neighbor now says it's his favorite place to eat and orders weekly! My point is, try it! It doesn't look like much but it's got quality where it counts. You'll likely be happy with anything on the menu! Don't forget to bring a bottle of wine :) read more

I really want to like this place after hearing very good things about it. However, a lot of what I'm about to write is more towards preference vs the food. First off we had a promising start to the meal. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs I like to have less sauce more pasta, it came with a tomato bisque in a bread bowl which was excellent. The bread was sweet and wasn't an Italian bread. The spaghetti and sauce was good flavorful and spicy. I liked the meatball but I enjoy a more firm and not mushy meatball. This place based on the neighborhood has a ton of good reviews and a following. I want to try more items so I can update this review. I know this restaurant has potential it's a matter of unlocking it. read more

All I want to talk about is the EXCELLENT TIRAMISU! JUST the TIRAMISU is reason enough to visit! If you had a bad day...the TIRAMISU can fix it. It's that good. If you dig great TIRAMISU, don't miss Bellissimo Ristorante. Okay. Bye. read more

Staff was friendly, ambience was cozy. They have a parking lot. Not crowded on a Friday night. Food was delicious. read more

We're glad we tried this place, and we've already been back for a togo order. Fusion Italian food and BYOB. The pizza is unique and the crust is delicious. The service is reliable and prompt. The building is nothing fancy and possibly has a slight old smell but is comfortable and clean. read more

Great service. The chicken picatta was tender and just right ! We had a great experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Hadn't been in awhile and never been at this new location, but my husband and I came here for dinner tonight. Warm bread and a house made dipping sauce was served and very good. We started with an appetizer of the calamari- fresh, light, and delicious! I had the lasagna and ate every last bite. It was the right amount of meat, not heavy on the cheese, and sauce was great. I left some of the steamed vegetables, which was a nice pairing, to save room for all the deliciousness of lasagna! My husband had the chicken Parmesan and cleaned his plate. Our waiter, Christian, was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food & service were excellent! Price point extremely reasonable. Great place for conversation because you can hear people at your table.

YES THEY ARE OPEN. New location is 902 E 33rd St between Airline and N Main. Same great food service and no frills atmosphere with plenty of seating. BYOB with a small cork fee. This dishes are creative but not complicated and are consistently delicious. There is street parking and a lot behind this restaurant. Go support this small business! read more

The best Italian restaurant in town, delicious as it was in its previous location. Don't be fooled by the neighborhood, completely safe and part of Heights. I would definitely will come back. A Jewel! read more

We went on Valentine's Day and we're pleased with the experience! It's BYOB so be sure you bring wine if you want that. We were seated quickly and service was great. Tried bruschetta and garlic bread (both great) and then I had the 25th St pasta for dinner, although I substituted the basil pesto cream sauce for the Alfredo and loved that. We'll be back for sure! read more

The food is still very good, but our waiter was terrible. We had to ask him to bring us silverware. He brought us glasses of water with hardly any ice in them. We had to ask for refills of water and ice tea and he filled the glasses up with no ice at all. When it came to clearing the table, we literally had to hand him our plates. Our friend had to ask about desserts because he did not offer a dessert menu. read more

I recently tried this restaurant and I want to share how good their food is!! I feel like the cooks take their time for each of the dishes they prepare and every single thing I tried off their menu was delicious. I recommend this place although is a little hidden is 100% worth it read more

Great little Italian restaurant with some mexi-fusion items. BYOB with $5 corkage. Fresh bread with olive oil/balsamic dipping sauce served while you wait. Meatballs, scallops, calamari, all great appetizers. Main St and 25th St (spicier) are both great dishes, pizzas look great, will try next time. But this time had the Pesto di Coriandolo--wow, just outstanding, shrimp, chicken veggies, farfalle in cilantro pesto sauce, just wonderful. read more

Amazing place to grab authentic delicious Italian! Pretty cheap and super fast service! Obsessed with this place!

My goodness, what well planned extremely tasty Italian food. This Italian food is simply, utterly, absolutely delicious. It's now our go to place. The staff was so welcoming. There were others with kids and families. If we all shy away from great food places, then crime will continue to rise. We went at night but didn't feel unsafe. A must try of Italian food is your favorite. Pizza was great. Pasta was delightful. They made modifications to add shrimp to chicken Alfredo pasta on the fly and all with smiles. And OMG!! ... that tiramisu is the best I've even had in any restaurant. My friend made tiramisu once with chocolate liqueur and since that time, I have t had any good tiramisu, except here. They change their menu too. We found our go to Italian place in houston. Wonderful, wonderful service. Food absolutely, undeniably tasty!!! read more

We ate at Bellissimo's new location on 33rd St. The food was so good. From the appetizer, to the entrées, to the dessert, all was delicious. My favorite dessert was actually the Keylime pie. All their desserts are made in house. Our service was also very good. The waiters were attentive, and the food was served in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is not fancy, but the food is. I know that sounds strange, but that's the only way I can describe it. I recommend it. read more

Service here is always spot on. This is a very casual, quiet neighborhood restaurant. The atmosphere definitely isn't fancy but it is comfortable and welcoming. Very family friendly. The food is consistently good, your typical American-Italian food but they also have some unique menu options. We love that they are BYOB. This is a go to spot for us when we don't have a reservation anywhere and don't want to wait in line. read more

Jalapeño infused Fettuccine. Not much else needs to be said, as it packs some heat and tasted great. Definitely the best Italian I have had in my many trips to Texas. read more

Best authentic Italian food! I highly recommend this wonderful place! Everything is so good!

First off, let me start by saying the food was absolutely delicious. Where the one star rating came from was due to the service. I can't believe that they only had one waiter on duty... especially during HRW!!! We had to keep asking for refills. There were 6 in our party. We were given one basket of bread and two small bowls of dipping oil, which were quickly emptied as we waited for our server to come back. We asked 3x for more oil and were told the first two were complimentary and more would be a charge! We had to ask for ice for our iced tea because the refill pitcher was warm tea with no ice. Whenever we tried to flag him down, he seemed to avoid looking in our direction. In his defense, the restaurant was full... but still, never an apology for the service or the delays. To add insult to injury, the gratuity was included and it was more than 20%!! The service we got was maybe worth 10%. I can understand 15-18% include gratuity with an option to add more tip for good service. However to to reward the server with more than 20% for poor service is an insult. AND, there was charge to use a credit card!! These things have been noted on the menu. read more

The new location isn't too far away. The food is excellent as usual. We always enjoy our meals there.

We ordered takeout for the first time. It will not be the last. We ordered Pollo Alla Bellissimo 5/5, Chelidra Rossa 5/5, and Carcioffi Fritti 4/5. read more

Wow what a hidden gem! This place has amazing food. Best Italian food ever - some plates with a twist of Mexican! The pizza, jalapeño infused pasta, and tortellini were amazing. read more

New location, same tasty Italian food. As a family with a young toddler, we enjoy the casual atmosphere. The staff is always very attentive and provides top notch service. Our meal was great, the temperature on the appetizer was slightly cool, but otherwise delicious dinner option with a laid back vibe. read more

Went to the location on E 33rd street. We were a party of 4 who arrived hungry. We arrived right before closing and Nancy was so friendly and accommodating and had great suggestions for dinner. She even told us about a few items not on the menu for my mom who doesn't eat meat. 25th street pasta was so unique and delicious. The food and service was excellent - 10/10!! Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The staff was professional and friendly. The food was very tasty and great portion sizes! Love that I can walk here if I want to!

Amazing food and wonderful service! A definite hidden gem! Beautiful restaurant, the perfect Italian dinner!

This was me and my husband's first time at Bellissimo's. We wanted to try a new Italian restaurant apart from our favorite place and Bellissimo's did not disappoint. I enjoyed the pan sear scallops and my entree. The 25th street pasta was hitting the spot! Give them a try I promise you will fall in love with the food. read more

First time at Bellissimo. The service was great. The food was amazing. will definitely come again.

Good neighborhood spot. Old school but tasty. Sweet caring service. Good pizza. BYOB I believe.

Cute little modest Italian restaurant. Our server was top notch! It's #BYOB, so I definitely recommend looking at the menu prior to visiting so you can bring wine to pair with what you want. The meals were superb - none of us had any leftovers, and we got an order of risotto to go because it was THAT GOOD! I'm definitely returning! read more

Bellissimo is a great neighborhood Italian restaurant. It is off the beaten path but don't let that deter you. The food and service were very good. They do not sale alcohol so it is BYOB. I think that makes it even better. I had the lasagna. It was very tasty and was served hot. read more

This place is a gem in the Independence Heights (Heights) area. I ordered the Ravioli with shrimp, my husband ordered the Fettuccine Gambretti, and I also ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. All I can say this was some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten. The sauce was so flavorful and seasoned. I will definitely return. If you want some good Italian food- visit this gem. read more

I've been wanting to try Bellissimo's for a long time but finally went in tonight and wanted to quickly give a review before I forget. We were not disappointed. My husband got a chicken pizza (don't remember the name) and he loved it! He kept saying how good it was. I got the eggplant with a side a pasta and they were both delicious! We will definitely be back and will tell our friends about our new find. read more

I knew them at their old location and wanted to see how it was at the new one. I was blown away! It's got the same intimate setting and service once you're inside. And the food is amazing. We got the 25th street pasta, lasagna, and eggplant Parmesan. My mom said it was the best eggplant Parmesan she's ever had. The others were fabulous. My son got pizza and it was great too. You won't be disappointed trying this place! read more
