Bellissimo restaurant

My introduction to Bellissimo was through Yelp and I am appreciative. It is delicious! The Jujeh Kabob with grilled chicken is the best I've had in a long time. It's what will bring me back. Through Yelp we also got a sampling of penne pasta. It had creamy alfredo sauce and it kicked with a peppery seasoning. The Mantu was a plate of steamed dumplings full of meat. Flavorful, but somewhat heavy for me, so I would only buy it to share versus it being my meal. Service was attentive from this family owned business. We ordered takeout and it was prepped fairly fast. We brought home baklava and chai as well. The baklava is a large portion.The restaurant is small but does have indoor seating and I spotted a couple of patio seats. If tables were open you could fit a larger group as a sit down meal. A lot of customers did takeout.Closed Monday and Tuesday. Private parking lot for the shopping strip.

I had never had Afghan food until coming here and WOW, I'm so glad I did!I tried the Qabili Palow, which is lamb over a bed of rice, carrots, and raisins.The lamb was AMAZING! It was deliciously cooked, fell right off the bone, and so so soooo flavorful. I was a bit nervous of the raisins in the rice but I really enjoyed them!I got to go but the service at the counter is amazing, it's a family business and you can tell they genuinely care about what goes into their food!Overall: I really love this spot! I can't wait to come back and try some from the Italian side as well!

First time trying this restaurant and we found the food and service incredibly great. My wife had an Afghan dish while I had Spaghetti and meatballs. Both were amazing. The staff is very welcoming and engaging and will gladly help with suggestions and questions.We will make a routine of visiting this Bardstown Rd Gem!

We kept hearing wonderful things about Bellissimo and Italian/Afghani restaurant located off Bardstown Road. We decided to meet up on a Thursday and we made a reservation online through their website. You could tell this is one of those locations where a lot of their regulars are typically coming in for carryout. It's a small restaurant with a few tables. But it's enough. Our server was wonderful and lovely. He gave us some good advice about the menu. We decided to go with an Afghani option for dinner because when given the option you try something new. We got the eggplant dish - banjan borani-And it was one of the most delicious items I've ever had. It was vegetarian with grilled eggplant, tomatoes, a garlic yogurt and mint seasoning. It came with rice. All three of us got the same thing. We ate all of it. It was so delicious. The price point was also very reasonable and I would love to go back. I actually want to try one of the Italian dishes the next time because I have a feeling, it's also going to be very flavorful and fun.

I can't remember the food I tried but it was delicious. Oh I do remember that the garlic chicken was amazingly delicious! I think we also tried the Alfredo lol it was good. The owner and his family was very friendly. I will be back for a full meal!

My grandson and I dined at Bellissimo recently. It was our first visit but not our last. It's a small cozy restaurant but every table was taken which recommends it. My grandson chose an Afghan meal called Mantu and he loved it. It was beef filled dumplings with a sauce he said was wonderful. I chose an Italian dish with tender chicken breast, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes . The creamy Parmesan sauce was delicious. It was served with pasta and warm rolls. We were too full for dessert but I'm sure the baklava and cannoli were special too. The cook and waiter were warm and welcoming as well. I'm anxious to go back sometime soon.

I went to Bellissimo with a group of friends. It was very easy to make a reservation and our table was ready when we got there. I've never had Afghan food, but it was amazing. Very bright and flavorful. I had the Mantu - which were beef filled steamed dumplings with tomato sauce split peas on top and drizzled with a yogurt sauce. It came with a side of chutney that was bright, full of flavor, and packed a little heat. I thought the spice level of the dish was perfect - but if you're intolerant to spice, it might be too much. I'll definitely be back!

Fabulous, authentic Afghani food just as good as Fremont, CA. It's family owned and it seemed and tasted as though food was being cooked fresh. As far as service, it was so kind of the Misses the come over and get to know me as well as ask me if I liked the food. Ambiance - I didn't worry about it, but it's a clean restaurant and bathroom on a Friday night. I was thrilled that Louisville has an Afghani restaurant.

I enjoyed the Alfredo pasta with chicken. They have some kind of cucumber salad that was delicious.

There were seven in our party and we made a point to order seven different dishes. Our family likes to share (Well, the new additions to the family are learning to share whether they like it or not.) My goal was to decide my favorite for my next visit. One problem - everything, every one of the seven, was so delicious - I still don't know what to get the next time. I actually want to go back this evening for takeout so I have "leftovers" for tomorrow since they are closed tomorrow (Monday). We tried mantu, qabili palau (lamb shank), chapli kebab, jujeh kebab, spaghetti & meatballs, chicken alfredo, and cream mustard chicken. We also shared an appetizer of Bolani. I seriously can not recommend one over another since all were sooo goood!
