I ordered some food for my husband's birthday. When I called, the person who took my order was really friendly and helpful. I called at about 3pm and asked for the food to arrive at 6pm. And lo and behold, the food arrived at exactly 6pm. It was piping hot which was great on this icy night. There were so many additional things that made this experience really good: everything was wrapped in foil to prevent spillage, there was a liberal amount of complementary bread and bread sticks sent as well, and everything wad labeled. For starters, we ordered the chargrilled calamari which was well cooked and really fresh. We also order the marinated prawns which was the dish of the day! They were amazing. For mains we ordered the beef filler with baby potatoes and the spaghettini with salmon. The portions sizes were quite big and I could finish it all. However, I felt that the flavour of the pasta was just okay and the beef, although tasty, was over cooked (we asked for medium). This may have been due to the delivery time though!
Where to begin? The ambience is great, the waiters are great, the food is great. It is worth everything! We had off menu items, I had the steak, roast potato, tomato and salsa pesto(?) stack. It was cooked to perfection and was a melt in the mouth experience. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were appreciated. We shared dessert which was a chocolate pudding (?). It was so good.
My dinner date club and I ,were here a few weeks ago .
The area in which the restaurant is ,is quite dodgy . But inside it’s a cosy little haven . A very nice ,intimate spot especially ideal for romantic evening plans .
It’s dimly lit ,lots of mirrors everywhere and my personal favorite thing is when the bathrooms of a place are clean .
The service was really good and as it got more full ,it dipped a little . I also didn’t like how you don’t get one waiter throughout your meal .
I had done my own little research on the place and the most prominent dish thy everyone kept raving about was the seafood risotto . I’ve never regretted anything more in my life than ordering that dish . The sauce was way too rich and overwhelming . And before I tasted it ,I got the smart idea to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese . So it was just too much .
The saving grace for my disgruntled tummy was the dessert . I ordered 3 scoops of homemade ice cream ,2 vanilla scoops and one chocolate scoop . I’m glad my instinct was right and let me order more of the vanilla because it was really good. And the wafer sticks that come with the ice cream are cute too . The breadsticks are really good ,I nibbled away on them while waiting for my order I was almost full from them .
A heads up would be to go check the prices of their specials of the day on the board before you order . Else you might get quite the surprise when you receive your bill lol .
Overall this place is really nice and would definitely recommend it .
I was extremely eager to visit Bellagio and the food did not disappoint! The fillet was grilled excellently. My Mille Feuille desert was gorgeously presented with the taste to match. I was really looking forward to trying the chocolate souffle but unfortunately Eskom dealt us a bad hand. It's not very often that I go to a restaurant and know instantly that I will be back a second time but Bellagio is an exception to that. Besides the great food, the atmosphere and decor were perfect for a romantic birthday dinner. See you again soon for that souffle :)
Did not know they moved into illovo, but definitely same great taste since they were in bluebird shopping center many years ago.
Must try their seafood and pasta.
Will come back again soon
Classy and understated
Great vibe and ambience
Seated at open door on a hot and steamy Johannesburg evening - marvelous
For starters we had Japanese salmon tartare- delicious
Mains we choose Bellagio signature dish - the salmon, prepared rare with delightful veggies
Really enjoyed the atmosphere here
Service was very good
Upmarket fine dining establishment with an extensive menu that is well executed. Service is top notch, exactly what you would expect from a 5* place. However, the lack of veg options means they lose a point from me. It’s a pity cos I really did like everything else about this place.
Outstanding food and ambience. Great menu and even better quality of dishes. Love the fish pie and their risotto choices. Worth a visit for those special moments in life.
We went for a small work celebration / function.
As we arrived, we were greeted by a waiter who had the biggest smile and made you feel so welcome.
He knew the menu like the back of his hand and make great suggestions.
The starters, mains and desserts were all just exquisite!
A definite must try!
Take me back!
A lovely spot for an intimate date, the complimentary bread is the best I’ve had in Jozi. Maybe it was all thanks to my date but the team was accommodating and attentive, a special wine list as well!!
The food is incredible - simple but sophisticated - the ingredients speak for themselves. The service was perfect. Alex was our waiter - very professional and attentive. Will keep coming back.
I am OBSESSED! I was SO excited to try Bellagio, because It had been recommended to me by SO many people, and when I finally had the opportunity to wine n’ dine I was absolutely in HEAVEN !
From the second I stepped inside I was greeted by the loveliest host who complimented my outfit and quickly sat us to the outdoor section which was picturesque and charming!
The waiter brought out the most amazing breadsticks and zucchini straws which came with a dip that was to die for ! I ordered a mojito and a salmon tartar to start. Trust me, Do NOT skip out on the salmon tartar. 😍😍The portion is very generous and the flavors are Devine !
For main I ordered chicken stir fry with noodles, and I only wish my stomach was bigger because I didn’t want to stop eating.
Of course you must keep room for desert because the home made baked cheesecake is actually the best I’ve ever had. I am a connoisseur of cheesecake, and this was unmatched (I even ordered a slice to go) we also ordered the millefeulle which was unique to anything I’ve ever had but was a gorgeous blend of flakey creamy goodness !
Easily one of my favorite fine dining experiences I’ve ever had and I will be back again and again and again!
Thanks team Bellagio, I love you ❤️
Bellagio is perfect for all occasions. I love having lunch here. The food is delicious, and the service cannot be faulted. It has an atmosphere of class and old money. Highly recommended.
The greatest pasta in Johannesburg by far. My ultimate perfect service is a perfect setting. I am literally obsessed with this place.
Can't get better for me than Bellagio.
Everything we ate was outstanding, and portions were well worth the price.
I'll keep going back as long as they stay open
One of the few remaining restaurants in town that is excellent. Fresh ingredients prepared masterfully.
We had the three cheese soufflé, still excellent. Niçoise salad with tuna was wonderful. Fillet steak with cognac mushroom sauce. The only issue was that it had to be returned as the comis chief did not know how to cook a medium steak. Almost raw.
Deserts were lemon tart, Mille Feuille, chocolate cake & cheesecake all of the highest quality almost went to heaven.
Keep up the great work, looking forward to my return.
BTW not cheap but worth every penny.

Great. Bellagio has been around for quite sometime, and there’s clear a reason why. Good food; we had excellent service, and it’s relatively well priced. The avocado salsa with the starter portion of calamari is simply sensational. Would certainly recommend you give it a try.
I have been a customer at Bellagio for many years, In my opinion it is remarkably consistent excellent food and service. Sure and very rarely there might be a disappointing dish but the staff will immediately take it back if it is below par or one is unhappy. Clearly all management and staff strive for perfection at all times and for the most part they achieve it. Customers who might consider a dish bland either don't know what they are talking about, or they don't bring it to the staff's attention.I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking to enjoy very good food (without any pretension) and wine at very good value for money prices.
The food was good. The service for is what really impressed me. Tried the chocolate pudding for dessert and it's worth every calorie.
They say ' the best moments are around a table' I can definitely attest to this.
Besides the amazing food and great service, Bellagio has become one of my local favourite places for lunch. We are never dissappointed.
Made a last minute booking.
Upmarket restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. However the outdoor seating is way below average compared to the smart fine dining seating inside.
We were served with the most delish bread basket - complimentary.
Starters was average. Found the marinated prawns too salty. Haloumi was a disappointment- there was absolutely no trace of chilli. Ministone soup was good. Gnocchi was good with the sauce. My husband loved his calamari. Long wait of 30minutes for most desserts so did not order any.
Service way too slow if you sitting outside.
