Too expenisive for average food. – The pro's: Good ambience,service The Con's: For the 4 to 5 star price (200 dollars for 2 people which included 2 drinks each, an appetizer, main course, and a hsared dessert), the food and presentation was just average. If the price was 100 dollars for 2, I would receommend the place. Too many great places that are cheaper and better then this place, I would avoid.

Excellent Italian on the UES – Bella Blu has delicous Italain cuisine and excellent specials to complement the menu. The wine list is solid as well -- and not excessively priced. All-in-all, it is a wonderful neighborhood restuarant with consistently good food.

Brutta Blu! – Bad food, poor service and secret additional costs add up to an experience that will leave a bad taste in your mouth and your wallet. If this is your kind of thing enjoy! If not go elsewhere.

Great Choice – I've been three times in the past six months. Always a great time with excellent food and great service. At times it will get crowded, but we're not living in NYC for the quiet. They always have great specials and a lively atmosphere. Regarless of whether it is a group or just two, Bella Blu will not dissapoint.

May be a Little Pricey but, – it's definitely a place to try! It's got a different, funky look and the food is terrific! After an excellent frisee and endive salad, we had the orichiette with brocoli rabe and sausage; great! And, something called casoncelli, a veal and raisin-stuffed ravioli-type pasta with prosciutto slices, absolutely fabulous! With a glass of barolo and dessert, it was $100 but, definitely worth it for Italian with a difference! Our waiter was friendly and professional, too. All in, a wonderful experience... read more

recommended but.. – Food was great at this restaurant! but seems like a lot of reviewers had complaints in pricing..yes it could be expensive.. service and price may not be not so great, but food was great! if u are in the neighborhood, doesn't hurt trying for the sake of FOOD. but i understand that service could be not so good..

A fun Italian restaurant that's worth a trip. – The Scene Bella Blu is the sort of casual place where you can be comfortable reading the New York Observer or striking up a conversation with a nice-looking stranger. The crowd is made up mostly of Upper East Side locals, and the room is almost always boisterous. The Food The Italian food is worth travelling for. Crisp, thin-crusted, wood-oven pizzas are a good place to start. From there, try warm lobster salad with potatoes and haricots verts. Chestnut pasta with wild boar sme... read more
