Bello Manzo

This was our first dining experience in Fredericksburg, and it exceeded expectations. Ruth and Jose created a warm, personalized atmosphere that made the evening especially memorable. The baked meatballs were beautifully prepared and tasted just like a traditional homemade recipe. The Chicken Parmigiana was perfectly portioned — satisfying without being overwhelming. The Italian salad was a fresh and well-balanced start to the meal. We’ve found our new go-to destination in Fredericksburg for authentic, thoughtfully prepared Italian cuisine. We look forward to returning.

Ordered the large salad. Salad was very good but our plates were small bread plates and the tongs we were given are typically used for picking up garnishes at a bar like cherries or limes. Ordered the pasta Manzo with Salmon. The salmon was way over cooked and not fresh. The plating was very sloppy. Portion sizes were not the same and the plate looked like plates from our house. Besides the salmon which was over-cooked, food was ok but presentation had much to be desired. $70 for two plates of pasta, large salad, and a beer and wine at happy hour.

What an amazing meal. I had the Italian beef and my wife had the chicken sandwich. We also had a side of garlic fries. Everything tasted fantastic. Never had giardiniera before. What a great flavor. Server friendly and helpful. You should give them a try

Bello Manzo was my final destination & end to a beautiful day in downtown Fredricksburg, Virginia. My husband came to Bello to eat by himself and I met up with him later after seeing some shops. He raved how delicious the food was and was finishing his dessert of tiramisu. He never orders a dessert especially after eating an appetizer and meatball sandwich at Bello Manzo. I was still full from an early brunch and ordered their chilled dry white wine from Italy and Diet Pepsi with ice water. Our server was very nice and professional. She refilled my Diet Pepsi several times without prompting and noticed how quickly I drank each glass she refilled. This restaurant was a nice place to rest and take a break from a long hot day of window shopping and walking. I liked how clean the place was and

OUTSTANDING! We just had a family celebration (20+ people) at Bello Manzo, and we could not be any happier. We reserved the outside patio. The food was amazing, the prices were very reasonable, and most importantly, the service was the best I have ever seen. Ruth and the entire staff went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. They worked with us to ensure we had the correct amount of food without ordering too much. They were very accommodating with how we wanted the patio to look with our decorations. You can tell that this is a family-owned business that really cares about its customers. If you are looking for a great place to host a party, or just a nice dinner, you will not be disappointed with Bella Manzo. There is no doubt that we will be returning here again and a
