    I’d suggest you make a reservation as it was a full house at 2pm on a Thursday. We were greeted promptly by our server and she checked on us regularly. The food came out timely and it was delicious. We each had alcoholic beverages, salads, an entree, cappuccinos and dessert. The bill was about $200 and I felt that was a fair price and worth it.

    What a great dining experience on a busy Christmas Eve! Restaurant was full but staff were excellent and food was amazing - best filet mignon I think I ever had! Ordered ‘medium’ and was absolutely perfect! The other nice thing was that they paced everything nicely so we never felt rushed and had a wonderful meal over 2.5 hours. This is our annual tradition and they exceeded all expectations - thank you and Happy Holidays to all!

    We wanted to dine out on Christmas Eve this year and decided to check out Bellissimo in Old Town Fairfax. It was the perfect spot! Parking was easy, the menu had a nice variety to choose from, the waiter (the owner's son) was cordial and eager to please. The butternut squash soup was smooth and creamy, the seafood pasta was luscious, and the cannelloni a perfect ending. We will be back!
