Bravo Meto & Edie 9/8/2009

I don,t visit this lovely place often anough but each time i,m there I get an excellent service and Edies Margaritas are to die for(always wonder who teach him the skill?) The owner Meto treat you like his own family. If you an American ,please educate yourself that in Europe fake smile don,t exist and all worm welcome comes from the heart. If you want to relax and taste some of the best of Mediteran dishes ,simply ask for owner sample recomandation,you wont forget Bello Squardo and while you there don,t forget Edie,s Margarita!!!! Pros: everything Cons: Vanila candels(only cuz i,m allergic to vanila lol) more

Great Pre Fixe 7/23/2009

We went here on a double date last night and the food was great! I got the black and white ( goat cheese and olive tapenade) appetizer, cappelini with tomatoes and spinach and chicken, and tiramisue... and a glass of wine. Pros: great food, great price Cons: ran out of my favorite wine more

Great food! 1/27/2009

I have been on a mediterranean kick lately and have kind of decided to try them all out. Came across Bello Sguardo...looked good so we went for dinner. The rest is cool, casual, and not too big so that you feel lost. There are like a million bottles of wine for you to choose from which i love and the owner was there to help us make the choice which i really liked. I had the lamb shank and my friend had the lamb pasta dish. Both were terrific. They also had a sweet pre-fixe deal which we did not do...but it looked pretty darn inexpensive for what you get. Pros: great food and loads of wine more

Rude Owner and Poor Service. 10/15/2006

Rude Owner and Poor Service. Had Sunday brunch at Bello Sguardo. After waiting almost 1 hour for our food and seeing that tables that came 20-30 minutes after us received their food before us, our patience was running out. We told our waitress (who was very nice) our frustration as we were still waiting for our food (simple eggs benedict). She told the owner who then went into the kitchen and came back 10 minutes later (doesn't take the long to poach eggs) wiht our food, but NO apology. I expressed to him that this type of service was unprofessional and unacceptable and he gave us a very curt and rude response saying that things happen and that there was a mix up b/c they were so busy (restaurant was 1/3 full) and then walked away. To top off his rude response, the eggs benedict meal was small portioned and mediocre. Definitely will never go back... Pros: nice waitress Cons: rude owner, slow and shoddy service more

Good service, great food 9/13/2006

Very reasonable tapas style Mediterranean menu (not just Spanish) - also with whole and half size pasta dishes (which look very creative and interesting) and a good selection of delicious main courses too. We went with just 4 tapas dishes between 2 of us - they were all good and we were stuffed afterwards. At $30 a head, including a glass of wine each, this was good value for good food and attentive service. Good choice for a reasonable meal pre-Lincoln Center event. Nice decor too. more
