Ballaro - HIGHWOOD

The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious and the service is always top-notch.

The staff at the restaurant was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful, which made the dining experience there delightful.

My wife Judy and I went for Mother's Day dinner which was our first time to Bellaro. The place of course was very crowded (a little sound baffling would be good) with a nice crowd with the bar and every table full. Our reservation was found and we were quickly seated at one of the few tables for two. Five minutes later we had water and then bread and about five minutes later waiter who apologized for the wait. He said he had to take one table order then would be back and apologized again. Came back, answered some menu questions, took our order, and all without giving us the feeling the full restaurant was putting him or us under any pressure. Food was excellent. We like seafood and Judy's cod and my whitefish were beautifully presented and very good, with great plate sides. Also recommend the crispy octopus appetizer and the romaine salad which we shared. Very sophisticated suburban venue, yet very relaxed and a terrific wait person. Complimentary parking and the valets were friendly and polite. Will definitely go back and recommend Bellaro to others.

Went on Mother’s Day. Expectation was that we would be rushed but not at all. The service was wonderful with great suggestions. Very attentive but not overbearing. Food was delicious. Outdoor seating but not nice enough to seat out. Will come back again.

Food was great, but became too loud to easily carry on a conversation.
