History

High on the hill top off the beautiful Sicilian coastline lies a little town called Longi. There, Emilio Bellissimo, as a child growing up, spent most of his time working in the family owned grocery store/restaurant/bar. He helped Mama cook and serve the food in the restaurant, worked on the farm, and stomped the grapes every year in order to make wine we sold in our store. Life in Longi was simple. Emilio’s family immigrated to the United States where the streets were paved in gold. After several years of hard work in various businesses, Emilio decided to open the restaurant he had dreamed about since he left Sicily. Thus, Café Bellissimo was born.
Café Bellissimo is intimate and romantic Italian restaurant that Emilio Bellissimo designed and created the same atmosphere as his home town in Italy, cooking authentic Italian cuisine using techniques inspired by his mother. Only using only the freshest and best quality food. As you dine in the elegant setting you will enjoy entrees of pasta, veal, seafood & filet mignon. New daily specials & homemade desserts daily.
