Il Forno At Villa Bellezza

Situated in amongst their grapevines is a super nice complex of buildings that includes a wine making building, tasting room, cooking class area and a restaurant that has a wood fired oven- that part is the Il Forno. You go to the counter to order in the middle of big, piazza style area with lovely outdoor seating. There is fun music, the building are reminiscent of Tuscany, and they have their own wine to drink. Yes please. We had a very tasty white called Riva that was perfect with our meal.The restaurant features wood oven fired pizza and pasta, along with other items. My sister had a Mediterranean style pizza with artichokes and olive and the like. I had a DELICIOUS baked tortellini with mushrooms and a small side salad. The sauce and mushrooms on that pasta, which was bake and had crunchy bits on the bottom was just sublime. Amazing. 10/10 recommend that pasta. The setting was beautiful, the service was great! They brought our food out really pretty quickly and Kaylee, our server and the wine steward that evening was WONDERFUL. A really nice evening!

Second time visiting this winery. The four of us ladies visited the tasting area and tried many wines. Enjoyed the weather sitting on the patio with food and a bottle of wine. The pizza was fantastic and so was the cheese plate. The chicken on the salad was a little bland but overall everything was good. Definitely recommend stopping by here!

My husband and I came to Villa Bellezza while touring the WI bluff country as we'd already been to Maiden Rock (also great!) and wanted to try a different winery we hadn't been to.We decided to sit in the piazza of the restaurant so we could order wine and food but missed out on the chance to taste many types of wine. While we had an awesome experience, I do wish we could have ordered both food and flights of wine tastes from the gorgeous outdoor patio.The ambience with the string lights and romantic Italian music in the piazza was perfect. And we liked the wine! The more mature Marquette grapes that they offer as a Reserve Red was hands down our favorite but we tried two reds and a white and enjoyed them all.The combo Meat & Cheese Plate had just a few options of each (3) but the portions were large and we really liked the sesame crisps that were served with it. Overall this was a great value and rivals any of the vineyard experiences I've had in Napa or Sonoma!

A little Italy in Wisconsin! Visited from Minneapolis and it was very worth the drive. We did the wine tasting which was 3 wines for $5 - probably the best wine tasting I have done, they give you a nice pour to try. We also bought a bottle and drank it on the pretty patio. awesome experience and would definitely go back

You won't believe you aren't in Italy. Good wine, good food, beautiful buildings, even little details like all the signs written in Italian. We found this place by chance on a staycation to Red Wing, and were so pleasantly surprised. It was December and cold during our visit but they are equipped with outdoor heaters and shearling hides to snuggle up in. (I think they are faux hides if you are worried about the animals) they are enforcing masks and distancing. You can still do a wine tasting or eat indoors. We tasted wine indoors, but were more comfortable eating outside.I was surprised that I actually liked the wine. Usually MN and WI wines taste like bad juice but these wines actually tasted like wine. I was impressed even with the whites, which I usually don't go for. We will for sure be coming back in the warmer months to check it out in all of its vineyard glory.

Amazing service and food quality. Wine selection outstanding. Outdoor seating in warm weather and cozy, romantic indoor seating on cooler days.

Wish I didn't have to order at the counter. I'm disabled and can't stand any length of time. Same with my friend. I need table service.Food is exceptional.

We ordered pasta, pizza and a beet salad for takeout and unfortunately, we were disappointed. The Alfredo pasta and the lasagna were both just OK and the portion sizes were very small for the price.... $22 seems a bit high for a small portion of pasta, a mixed green salad and a store-bought roll. The margarita pizza was not much better than something you can get from the freezer section at your local grocery. The crust was pre-made that came out of a bag and then they topped it and warmed it in the wood-fire oven.On a positive note, the beet salad was very good. Full of flavor and a good portion size. Still pretty pricey at $13 with no protein.The place itself is beautiful but the food is a bit lacking.

Wine was excellent. Go for wine and appetizers or perhaps pizza. Meat and cheese tray was okay. Pasta il forno and chicken piccata were both marginal. Wait staff appeared tired and overworked. We ate outside which is a delightful space. For the price of the pasta, it should have been fabulous. It was not.
