Bella Monte Restaurant & Enoteca

It took a little time for the waitress to come to us I believe we sat in this place for about 20 minutes before the waitress came and gave us our drinks which was only water and bread that was a little hard. The overall atmosphere of this restaurant is very nice it's nestled in the cut off of laskin road in Virginia Beach Virginia it has a outdoor eating area which is very romantic as well as an indoor ambiance which is equally as romantic. this is a good place to go just to relax with a very good friend or if you are trying to have an intimate encounter the staff is very friendly and if it wasn't for the fact that the food took so long to come out I would say that this was a 4-star to 5-star eating establishment. They also wine when you first come in for a price I believe it was $36 for three bottles. If I had it to do all over again I believe I would definitely go back the prices are reasonable not too high but worth the cost.

The executive chef here is excellent (2019). Menu is high quality and very delicious. Not a cheap place, but your money is well spent if you're a foodie on the hunt for the best dinning experience available. Something that is all too rare in Hampton Roads.

Must share story...great server.( Mindy). Offered a description of the specials which included Yellow Fin served with watermelon..my response...no way..

Met one of the owners...asked about Watermelon... response...the chef was directed to make this interesting. The chef showed up at our table... describes the meal...the owners checking up and the wait staff all made a great meal.

Yep watermelon and yellow fin work together extremely well... Go for it...well done Bella Monte!

The food was amazing. Out server was very nice. The chef came out and greeted us and was very nice. Perfect evening. It is kind of pricey, but worth every penny. You get what you pay for.

I never cease to be both pleased and amazed whenever I'm here. Their wine pairing events are phenomenal and allow me to taste a variety of wines in a casual atmosphere. The food is truly out of this world – even foods of which I'm not usually fond, I typically enjoy here. (I particularly recommend any kind of pork here... And whatever they put on special. Seriously, I don't care what it is, it's awesome.) The owners are hands-on and involved – don't be surprised if they come by your table – and absolutely trust their recommendations! 10 out of 10 would come again. And the atmosphere is fantastic – cozy, but nice. Appropriate for a wide range of audiences and price points. I highly, highly recommend.

Edit: check out their brunch, y’all ????
