This place is trying something new- they offered us a free prosecco as a "gift" if we came in. I…read morewas a little suspicious, but the dinner was actually very delicious. The service also took an interesting tack, they were a lot more pushy and convinced us to order more than we had planned on, which was not the best feeling. The portions are large, so we weren't able to finish our meals. We also got a complementary lemon sorbet with our dessert. The food itself was great, and came out incredibly quickly. My lamb chops were top notch! The meat dishes don't come with their own veggie sides, and we were offered sides (for extra) and they came out also in very large portions. We probably only needed one of these for the two of us. Overall, an interesting experience.

We sat outside on a beautiful day. Hazem was a great server and we enjoyed our meal.

The other meals that our group ordered were also very tasty. The location was excellent great views of the lake. If you have a larger group, we had 8, I would go earlier in the evening to get a table as the Bellariva is popular

Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, and they had a very unique menu with lots of local/fresh ingredients. Adrianna speaks English, Italian, and Dutch, so it was a treat to understand her as she described the menu and gave us some recommendations. She was very helpful in offering suggestions as to what was freshest that day. She pointed out that there were no truffles available (as they did not find them)--- I think this is a great sign, as clearly they focus on ingredients that are fresh and available! We had fresh caught tuna, on a bed of arugula and crusted in pistachio -- best I've ever had. Also had a handmade spaghetti with fresh clams and a delicious tomato based sauce with fresh red peppers. Some sort of lemon creme brûlée (the proper name escapes me) for dessert --- I loved the touch of lemon. The only downside is that I wanted to try more! Everything on the menu looked marvelous Adrianna and her husband Paolo -the chef- truly know how to create a wonderful evening with delicious food, great hospitality, and they do it with passion. A must visit! I hope to come back! The prices were quite reasonable as well.
