Bello By Sandro Nardone — Authentic Italian
We all think we know Italian food. Chicken parmigiana. Fettuccini Alfredo. Pasta primavera. And those dishes can be delicious…. they’re just not Italian. To be clear these dishes were invented in America. Italians in Italy do not eat them.
Californians have always been at the forefront of new food trends in America. Our goal at Bello is to share with the people of Orange County some of the traditional foods of Italy. But it is also to share some of the modern ideas that creative Italian chefs have been using in recent years.
Italian Cool
At Bello we want to have our customers enjoy a true Italian experience. We hired an Italian designer and imported all of our artwork from Italy. In Italy, restaurants are not simply functional – they are unique works of art – we’ve feel that we’ve created something unlike anything ever done.
