Bellavino is by far the best restaurant in Ventura County! Many don't know that they have a full menu along with wonderful appetizers and a wonderful selection of cheeses you don't find in many places. But the most impressive element is the extensive wine list with interesting and hard to find offereings. I try to get to Bellavino as often as possible, especially on the weekends when there is a live jazz performance. They have a wonderful outside area with a fireplace where we usually sit for dinner, than move into the stylish bar area for drinks and dessert after. Try the Eppoises, Purple Haze and Balarina cheeses!
Pros: wine list, incredible food, Ambiance
Cons: not open for lunch
