As you can see, this restaurant hasn't been rated in quite some time. The First year it was open, we went often, and I Loved it. In the last 6-8 months they have changed cooks, servers, and even owners too many times to keep the "experience" consistent. I'm always "leary" when this happens. Something is definitely "Amiss" at LoBellos ???

Lo Bello is an excellent restaurant. The food is delicious and the scenery inside the restaurant gives a very authentic European feel. Also the new owners and waiters are extremely friendly and make you feel like you're having a home cook meal at their own dinner table. Lo Bello is deffenitly a restaurant to go out and eat at with your families. I enjoyed the owners and especially the live music. The owner sings and his daughter sings aswell. 4 stars in my eyes!

I've been to this restaurant serveral times. In the past I have always enjoyed going there, however, I was there this past Friday and everything was different. The only familiar face in the place was Maria, our courteous server. Seems new owners have taken the place over with a completely new staff. I was disappointed. The place was "dead"and "lifeless to say the least. The food was good but I don't think I will be going back. Just NOT the same ambience it once had. Rumor has it that the "New" owners have "cleaned house" and taken over. Bad mistake!!! We miss Vito, Don, and Roberto !! I hope Maria doesn't leave as well. I remember how much fun we had there last fall singing and dancing. Good Luck ....

We went to Lo Bello last Saturday night with friends. It's always risky taking people to a new restaurant, but this time I hit a home run.
The food was excellent, I had the Zuppa di Pesce. There was an abundance of fish, all cooked to perfection, the sauce was delicious, and the pasta al dente. My wife and my friend had the Grouper, which they both raved about, and my friends wife had a veal dish which she is still raving about the taste and the tenderness of the veal.
Our server was very knowledgable, attentive, and informative.
We were warmly greeted entering, and leaving.
Would I go back??? You betcha!!! and I can't wait for my next meal there

Service was less the adaquate. Dinner came out 1 serving at a time with big gaps in between. Desert the same way, could not get coffee until the bill came. We will not be back. Food was fair at best for the money.

Never have I had such an awful experience. I went to the restaurant with 7 other people. Ordered the Soupa D' Pesce. I asked for the WHite Garlic sauce instead of the Marinara as per the menu. First it came out with a light red sauce - told them to bring it back. Next it came out with a tiny piece of lobster - a tiny shell no bigger than my thumb. I asked the waitress "where's the lobster"? She went back and asked for more and was told that's it. Then I asked her to send the owner Roberto over. He said that's all you get two pieces - which of cause there was only one. I told him to take the plate back & I was done. Do you think he came over again the entire night? Maybe offer something else? Nope. He went out of his way to avoid me. The waitress and the manager came over apologized profusely - but not the owner. At the end of the evening I had to have him called over so that I can tell him to his face that I would never come back and recommed people to saty away. Much, much better choices - stay away from this dump!!

An amazing experience! The food was out of this world. Antipasti was delicious! Also had a Seafood Appetizer that had stuffed clams, Shrimp, and Calamari which was the best I've had in years. Entree's were delicious as well ! Service was great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!! Best Italian in Jersey I've had !!!!

The food is to die for. The biggest plates I have ever seen. It is totally an enjoyable experience from the food, the service and the atmosphere. The women that sings on Friday night has an incredible voice.
