- Bello is in the heart of Newport Beach California.
- Design:
- Bello was designed by noted Italian architect Dino Lieghio. Features include custom designed chairs and tables, marble and custom furniture.
- Food, Restaurants, Cafes:
Bello is listed in the Michelin Guide. We are the top ranked Italian restaurant in Orange County by the OC Register's award winning critic, Brad Johnson.
There is nothing more Italian than getting together with a group of friends or business associates to enjoy good food and wine.
Bello has been designed with 3 separate rooms and a patio that can each accommodate private parties of varying sizes.Why Bello? No Rubber Chicken Dinners!
We are seeing a huge increase in private parties at Bello because word is getting out that we can create and execute unique menus that are beyond what most people would believe possible. The reason that most events have boring, tasteless food (like rubber chicken) is that most restaurant kitchens want to make the easiest food possible so that they can easily “bang it out” when large groups need to be served all at once.
Our private dining group is led by Chef de Cuisine Zach Scherer.
Zach ran special events at Big Canyon.He has done everything from 10 person Opus One wine dinners to 600 guest weddings. All with the kind of food that meets the expectation of the most discerning diners.
Most importantly, Zach knows how to create a menu so that you can get delicious, interesting food no matter how many guests you have.
His wine dinners with famous Master Sommelier Peter Neptune and private wine collectors have become incredibly popular. His weekly special dinners have introduced Orange County diners to new Italian dishes that have never been served in Southern California.
