Decided to visit as my boyfriend is coeliac and they have an extensive choice of gluten free food. So glad we did as it was the best gluten free pizza & panini we’ve tried. Also decided to try the cassata siciliana cake on a whim, genuinely one of the best cakes I’ve had (and it’s gluten free so even better). Highly recommend, both staff serving were attentive, friendly and chatty. All round wholesome trip, definitely will visit again!

I have reviewed this wonderful place before, but it is so good it deserves a positive review on each visit. The service is great, the atmosphere is lovely, the food is on the next level. They truly understand food and John (the owner and chef) came and chatted to my wife who is coeliac and lactose intolerant. He told her the best flour and yeast and showed her the wrappers to enable her to buy some. Burnley should be proud to have this treasure of eating within the town. it is a firm favourite of mine.

Another hidden jem. Lovely little Italian restaurant - very good service and friendly too. They have an extensive menu and what we had was extremely tasty with good sized portions. The tomato garlic bread we had to start with was so good it was to die for! Lots more on the menu I want to try. The wine was excellent too and good quality. The coffee is sooooo tasty. We will be back.

Lovely little eatery! I'd seen it before whilst having my nails done and wanted to try it since. I had chicken and chorizo pizza, I couldn't eat it all but they were happy to give me a takeout box. All staff were very enthusiastic about the food and very knowledgeable. Will deffo be back and recommend to anyone looking for Italian food.

Fabulous food again. Had the pepperoni pizza and a small salad, which they put together for me, even though they don't normally do salads as an extra. It's also my grandchildrens favourite place for pizza too. That's saying something because they are fussy eaters! 🤣

Accidentally stumbled upon this little gem whilst out shopping with my eldest on a rare baby-free day. Thought it was just a café, but we noticed the menu by the door... And then we saw a gent eating a huge bowl of spaghetti - so that drew our attention! There were only a few tables, and the last free one was reserved, but the lovely young lady (who had quickly come to greet us) took us through to the back where there was only one other table occupied. It felt like we were in an Italian Nonna's kitchen. The decor was dated, but it felt purposeful - so homely! The table was spotlessly clean, and (as a mother of a baby, too) I noticed that the high chairs stacked to the side were immaculate - always a bugbear! Menus were immediately brought, and drinks orders swiftly taken. We had caramel and amaretto iced coffees - both were excellent! It took us a while to choose our food as everything sounded delicious. We stayed 'safe' with our choices: a margherita pizza, puttanesca (with added mushrooms), and fries to share. W.O.W. Quite simply, the best pizza myself or my teen have ever eaten, incredible service from every staff member, and we cannot wait to come back and bring the rest of the family.

Nestled in the heart of Burnley, Bellissimo is a charming Italian cafe that has become my go-to spot for delightful gluten-free dining. The cafe’s commitment to quality and inclusivity shines through its extensive gluten-free menu, offering a variety of options that cater to all tastes without compromising on flavor. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and the aroma of authentic Italian cooking welcome you. The gluten-free pasta dishes are a highlight, perfectly al dente and paired with rich, savory sauces that leave you wanting more. The staff’s knowledge about gluten-free requirements is commendable, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for those with dietary restrictions. Whether you’re gluten-intolerant or simply exploring healthier dining options, Bellissimo’s gluten-free menu is a testament to the cafe’s dedication to its patrons’ needs. It’s a rare gem that proves you don’t have to sacrifice taste for dietary choices. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a taste of Italy with the comfort of gluten-free goodness!

Brilliant place, loved it! I have Coealic disease and my partner and I were very impressed with the staff’s knowledge and range of food I could eat. My partner is a very fussy eater and he loved 🥰 his pizzas said they were the best he’d ever had. My pasta dish was delicious 😋 and also the best I’ve had. The owner and all the staff were lovely and very attentive. Lovely place looks very tiny from outside but bigger inside. Too full for dessert but that looked delicious too. Top marks will definitely be coming back. Half an hour drive from where we live so very good

This is the only place to have lunch in Burnley. We don’t visit very often but always choose to eat here when we do. The food is spectacular, cooked by someone who actually knows how to cook and obviously has a love of great food. You won’t get any better in an Italian restaurant and also very reasonable. We had 3 coffees and 3 absolutely delicious main dishes for just over £40. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back.

I can’t understand why anyone would want to give this fantastic little restaurant a negative review. As regular visitors to Bellissimo, we have never had a bad meal. John takes great pride in sourcing authentic Italian ingredients to prepare both traditional and exciting new dishes. Lynn and her team at the front of house are always welcoming and take time to make sure that the food is to your satisfaction. I have never seen the place quiet which, in my opinion, speaks for itself. I can only deduce that those who criticise this little gem, are not used to good, home-cooked food served in a pleasant surroundings.

Intending to have a Saturday afternoon in Burnley we popped into this small Italian cafe. The menu (mainly pizza/pasta) gave lots of options. And, as you could hear when they turned customers away, they seem to make stuff fresh. My GF's Lasagne got a thumbs up. The Rose wine less so. Whilst a lot of the small choice of beers were not available it was interesting to see all are imported from Italy. Very rare. My chicken peppercorn tagliatelle just didn't quite deliver. Nice enough but not in line with the description. They do seem to protect the kitchen rather than chasing the volume which is fair play. Sure we will be back to try more.

Dropped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, but with 6 of us, and town being busy, thought we’d struggle for a table. The staff were immediately very accommodating, and going out of their way to make room for us. We had a range of dishes, with 3 kids having pasta and pizzas, and adults having the piadine wraps. Every meal was delicious and freshly made. This was our first visit to Bellissimo, and we’ll definitely be back more regularly

Loveley little Italian restaurant and coffee shop bang in the centre of Burnley. Love the tagliatelle española. The tomato sauce they use on this, and probably on many other of their dishes, is absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. They serve Lavazza coffee and I absolutely love the latte they make. We always look forward to our next visit there with tingling tastebuds. 2021 Update. Well, what can I say. They can still make your taste buds tingle at Bellissimo ! After the last 18 months or so of the pandemic, I'm glad to say that the service, food quality and coffee are still the best. Delicious !! Well worth a visit if you are in the Burnley area.

A variety of seating areas for two diners or larger parties-a very well thought out design The new menu was very impressive with a variety of choices of starters mains and sweets.
