Canto Upper West Side

“Absolutely incredible dining experience from start to finish! The Bella Canto truly lives up to the hype — a beautiful delicious cocktail. The carbonara was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — rich, perfectly balanced, and unforgettable. A huge shoutout to Andre at the bar, who made the night even more special. He was not only fun and welcoming, but clearly passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. He took the time to explain what he was making, which added such a personal touch to the experience. To top it all off, the frozen espresso martini for dessert was the perfect ending — creative, delicious, and something I’ll definitely be thinking about long after this trip. If you’re in town, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!”

“After the show, my friend and I were looking for a place to have dinner to celebrate my birthday, and we just walked into this restaurant. We didn’t expect much, but the food turned out to be really good and the atmosphere was lovely. The only downside was the dessert timing. I had asked for the dessert to be served at the end, but it came out unexpectedly while our table was still full. They brought out a tiramisu with a sparkler, and because there wasn’t enough space, it ended up being a bit too close to me, which made me feel slightly uncomfortable.Other than that, everything else was great：）：）：）”

“This restaurant exceeded expectations from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. Everything came out on time and tasted amazing. Definitely a place I’d come back to. Thank you Devon for being so welcoming & sweet.”

“Great Italian restaurant serving up delicious salads, pastas and other main courses. The portions are slightly larger than what you would see in Italy so ordering a pasta and a secondi dish is a lot of food. The place is pretty loud with bar and table seating. Hard to really have a conversation here another way they arranged the tables were really optimizing how many people they can fit rather than the comfort of the diners. Prices are on par with NYC restaurants.”

“Everything tonight was DELICIOUS! The waiter, Mateo, was fantastic, attentive and made sure everything was all ok. We had raw oysters, burrata and prosciutto, beef carpaccio, lobster ravioli, and carbonara. A party of 2 and we were delightfully full. Not stuffed, justttttt right! Would definitely say this would be a spot I would bring people to, and it is a perfect date spot.”
