Best Italian Restaurants in Belmont Central / Cragin

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. We received incredible service from our server Jose and the entire staff. We tried the meatballs, focaccia, arancini, ribeye, filet, mignon, chicken parmigiana, filet mignon sliders, scallop risotto, asparagus, brussels sprouts, double baked potato, banana gelato and the spumoni baked Alaska and several of their cocktails and enjoyed every bite and sip. The dining room boasts lovely views and the windows fill the space with light. It feels both spacious and cozy and coupled with the incredible service and food makes for a memorable meal we can’t wait to relive again.

Great restaurant, fantastic food. All the reservations are already taken before they open up on the open table app, even if you check at midnight (reservations usually released around 12:10 AM). I suspect you have to know someone to actually get a seat at the dining room, have been unsuccessful several times waiting up until reservations are released.

Staff, food, ambiance… everything was perfect. We were lucky enough to get 2 seats at the counter overlooking the kitchen. The ballet was spectacular with all those chefs working together. We had an early reservation and when we left, we could see that it was a trendy place as lot of young preppy looking were coming in. I highly recommend 🥰

Alla Vita never disappoints. The pre fixe menu has perfect portions and pairing options. Our server Monica was delightful and attentive, presentation was beautiful and the food was (as always) delicious!!

Had an amazing dining experience at Portofino today! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return!
