Belvedere in Flintshire

Very authentic, reasonably priced, food excellent

4 of us enjoyed excellent 3 course meals last night. Great food, service and atmosphere. Everyone really friendly. Just be aware, it's cash only, no card payments.

Seemed quiet but food is reasonably priced and home cooked. Pizza fairly thin and generous toppings. Nice tiramisu. Friendly Italian couple . Well worth a visit.

Best Italian in the area by a mile. Delicious, authentic food with a great atmosphere. The staff are excellent. If there’s one restaurant you visit in Mold, let it be this one.

Great little Italian place. Very quirky inside. Fun was fantastic.

Classic Italian ( just remember it’s cash or cheque only )

This is a wonderful, unique, authentic Italian restaurant. The cooking is superb, the owners welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere 👌

Tasteless lasagne - not even had cheese topping! Refused to eat gave me money back but couldn’t get over what I had been served. Lasagne for goodness sake you can order it anywhere but to have an Italian restaurant serve such an awful attempt beggars belief. Not going again and certainly wouldn’t recommend. Partner disappointed with spaghetti carborana but ate it because was hungry.

Authentic old school Italian restaurant run by a charming Italian couple. Will be back with the family again soon.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for dinner on a Saturday evening after a recommendation from a local business owner in Mold who told us the food was authentic and amazing. The interior of the restaurant is a bit dated but still charming and the welcome from the elderly owner was friendly. We had the stuffed pepper and the stracciatella soup to start, and we enjoyed them both. For main course, I had a vegetable pizza and my husband had his favourite Italian dish - Spaghetti Carbonara. My pizza was OK but nowhere near the best pizza I've ever had and my husband was disappointed with his meal, because it was definitely not authentic as it had cream in it. For dessert, we shared one off the Specials Board - a meringue nest with Amaretti biscuits, Amaretto and whipped cream which sounded amazing - dissappointingly it was a shop bought meringue with squirty cream in a pool of Amaretto and definitely not worth the £7 price tag. I had read reviews which suggested it was a cash only establishment so we were prepared for that, but unfortunately I don't think we'll return as the food wasn't cheap and not as good as we expected.

I wasn't familiar with Belvedere and my first impression is that it seem like a quaint traditional Italian restaurant with the whole atmosphere and decorated...Italian style. Chatted to the owner and his wife (I assume), who seemed very pleasant enough. I did ask if we could pay by card (unaware it was a cash only restaurant) and he replied that it was fine. I ordered the stuffed pepper with prawns and cheese, which was lovely, followed by spaghetti and meatballs in tomato sauce with cheese garlic bread. Cant fault the starter, but the main course was a disappointment and certainly not very Italian. It doesn't cost that much to produce spaghetti and is normally served in a large bowl. My mum felt that the Carbonara sauce was too watery. The owners seem to disappeared and a young girl and man served us. I could not help overhear when he was taking orders over the phone with bookings, that the restaurant is cash-only, that I spoke to him about this and was reassured by the owner that cards were accepted. Even the couple next to us were not aware of this. A simple sign on the door should of notified us this. So, I had to walk 5 minutes to the cash machine and back. It was a lovely restaurant, but its a shame that the main courses was not up to standard and I felt the restaurant should of made it more clear that its a cash-only restaurant, that it clearly ruined our evening.

Lovely traditional food. First time for us ; won’t be our last . Old school but nice for it . Lovely .

Tonight was the first time we have visited the Belvedere and it certainly won’t be the last. The moment we stepped into the restaurant, it felt like we had walked into a little part of Italy and not any run of the mill restaurant you can experience everywhere else. The atmosphere was very Italian and we felt like we had suddenly walked into another world. The choice of menu was very good with lots to choose from as well as specials written on the blackboards. In fact it was quite a difficult task to choose what to eat. The food arrived very quickly and was cooked to perfection and was extremely tasty. Service was by very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you so much for a lovely meal. We will certainly be back.

What a great place. Beautiful food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again ☺️

First time at Belvedere, and the only regret is to have not discovered this little gem before. You walk in and you'll find yourself back in time. Gaetano runs this authentic Italian trattoria since 1987 and He's a master chef faithful to the most authentic Italian cuisine. Everything at Belvedere still genuine as it was half a century ago. A true experience.. don't miss it. Thank you Gaetano and Staff

Lovely quiet little restaurant, everything about it is great. We go back time and time again and never disappoints

10 of us went for my birthday last night. No complaints from anyone. Excellent food, brilliant service and a real friendly atmosphere. It's just like being in Italy.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than this hidden gem of a restaurant! The food here is simply amazing. From the pizza to the lasagna, everything is fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. But the real star of the show here is the tiramisu. It was hands down the best I've ever had - creamy, light, and bursting with flavour. I could easily have eaten another serving! The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, and the service is friendly and attentive. It's clear that this place is a labour of love for the family who runs it, and their passion for their craft shines through in every dish. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. It's a true treasure of a place that I can't believe I haven't discovered before. I'll definitely be back for more of that amazing tiramisu!

Had a lovely meal here on a Saturday night with some friends. The food and service were excellent, and we are lucky to have a small family owned Italian restaurant in Mold. The menu is authentic Italian food and rarely disappoints... We have been here twice in the last six months and enjoyed the evening. Will be back again soon!

What a pleasant surprise service was fantastic food delicious no complaints from us Will definitely visit again ( visiting from Doncaster)

Food is always amazing and tasty and service always impeccable. Lovely authentic restaurant in a world where chains are taking over. Price is very competitive for the quality. Highly recommend!

A long established family restaurant providing authentic Italian meals. We have been on a number of occasions and have never left disappointed.

Reading the reviews, this restaurant sounded perfect. On arrival there where two people seated, shown to our seats, drinks order taken. Young waitress, second night, very nervous which is fine, she was very sweet. Food ordered, chicken dish in butter and cream sauce and steak medium rare, pepper corn sauce. Food arrived, chicken was a square shape and so dry and chewy, sauce very watery and tasted like tinned chicken soup !! Steak very thin and not good, drowned in sauce, wrong potato dish arrived, the most bland flavourless meal we have ever had, I never add salt but absolutely necessary, sorry to say this was the very worst meal we have ever eaten. Will not return.

A welcoming family restaurant providing beautifully cooked and presented authentic Italian food. The owners were very helpful, booking us in for an early meal to ensure we had plenty of time to get to the theatre before the performance started. The service was quick and courteous, with excellent value for money. We are ashamed to admit this was our first visit despite moving to the area several years ago and having strong recommendations from family and friends. It will definitely be the first of many!

Great food honest and reasonably priced.

Absolutely superb food ,atmosphere and brilliant friendly service .highly recommended

Dinner here is like a little holiday to Italy. Wonderfully rich food and a friendly, all-Italian atmosphere. One thing to note is that they only take cash, but there are plenty of cash points up the road - approx 5min walk or 1 min drive

We had a marvellous birthday meal here recently. Great italian food and excellent service.

Great small Italian restaurant. Run by the same family for many years. Highly recommended.

Visited on a quiet Wednesday night and enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal with fabulous hosts. Special of pork with provolene highly recommended. Stonking bottle of montepulchiano went down really well. I can’t believe this place has been open since ‘86 and I haven’t been before. Well worth a visit.

Such a wonderful little family run restaurant. Delicious food and a warm welcome.

Great place, great authentic Italian food

A lovely authentic family run Italian with consistently good service and excellent food. We love visiting this restaurant and also enjoy their takeaways which are always quickly prepared and very good value!

What a little gem of a place. Traditional home cooked Italian food that is the best we've tasted in a very long time. The staff are absolutely fabulous, very welcoming and will do anything to make your visit a memorable one. Just one little comment to know is that its cash only. Enjoy

Good traditional Italian cooking at very reasonable prices.

Fantastic rustic home cooking. Lovely hosts, recommended.

Just come from the restaurant now and once again extremely pleased with the whole experience. The food, the wine and the service all excellent. The owner takes time to come out to chat and see if everything is to your liking and we had a lovely chat about the places in Italy we have been to and are planning on visiting. A lovely restaurant run by lovely people. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed the food very much and the service was excellent, too!

Lovely asparagus starter, lamb main course. Helpful friendly new waitress. Only not giving 5 stars because the wine (which was a £6 bottle from a supermarket at best was expensive and there was very little lamb, 3 tiny pieces). Otherwise all good.

The food, service and ambience of this place is definitely 5 star. You feel like you are on holiday in Italy. Had a fabulous night. Thank you Belvedere.

Our first visit to this very quaint restaurant. Cannot fault the food we were all impressed. Love the little touches like the pottery carafe. Attentive staff. Highly recommended will definitely return

I can't understand the reviews about this place, it was awful the only Italian thing about this place was the owners! The steak meal was awful £18 served in a soup bowl and vegetables looked 5 days old and were microwaved to hell! The starter was £10 packet meats and the cheesy garlic bread was shocking 6 slices for £8 bottle of wine £20 the tirmasu £7 was frozen in the middle! I was told by the reviews were homemade Italian food absolutely no way the 2 microwaves were on constantly I could see into the kitchen from where I was sitting! We were the only table in there it was cold and run down it looked like a cafe in 1960s, I can't understand the reviews this was truely the worst meal I have ever had out in my life and for £120 werent even offered a liquor neither the bill, people of Mold don't let these people get away with awful shocking microwave food, can't understand the reviews on this place its a totally dump and shockingly over priced food not authentic at all absolutely rubbish terrible restaurant, so disappointed 😞

Lovely home cooked food. Friendly and prices are reasonable.

Had a take out... Omg absolutely first class... Miss eating in the restaurant, but so glad can have their food at home.. It Never disappoints.... Well done Belvedere....

Just had a pizza & garlic bread from there, the worst over priced pitza we have ever had. We will never go there again! Poor quality, way over priced, terrible. Ruined our evening still Hungry will have to order a decent one from up the road!

Very authentic! Nice atmosphere. Plenty space. Very tasty food! Good choices inc daily specials. Reason priced. Cash only.

The most wonderful relaxed and authentic Italian dinning experience this evening. A sheer joy to sample delightful food , great wine and masterful service in this delightful cosy restaurant .My steak in Tomato and Garlic sauce was to die for !And an honour that the wonderful chef de partie visited our table !!!!Above and beyond any flash Chester or Liverpool abode and worthy of London chilled dinning .A find , an experience that all local people should visit , experience and enjoy

Really good food and very reasonable prices

The best place to eat in Flintshire in my opinion.

A great find! Small, independent and serving wonderfully authentic Italian food, all in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Can't fault it! The food was beautiful, authentic and tastes AMAZING!!

Recently moved to the area heard about this place and what can I say AMAZING, will be returning lots

Due to lockdown we celebrated my 60th birthday with a takeaway meal from the Belvedere. It was lovely. Couldn’t have made a better choice. Food was amazing, and staff lovely. Highly recommended, and a nice change from the usual Chinese and Indian takeaways. Will definitely be ordering from here Again very soon.

Just enjoyed a delicious takeaway from the Belvedere for my birthday. We have always enjoyed visiting this lovely restaurant in the past both for the food and the atmosphere. Can,t wait to get back there when 'normal' times return. Thank you Belvedere for the meal tonight.

We’ve had to takeaway during the lockdown click and collect they’ve both been stunning lovely proper Italian , owners are lovey people definitely recommend can’t what to go for date night once this is all over x

Lovely run family restaurant lovely home cooked Italian food

This place really is a fantastic place to eat. Food and service was 100%

The Belvedere does close periodically for the owners to visit Italy but if you can go they know how to cook Italian food through many years of experience. Absolutely first rate

We had the most wonderful meal 🥘 excellent service lovely staff and the most beautiful food recommend this little Italian restaurant a must to go

Can’t believe we have not been to this restaurant before. The food was fabulous, fresh and served beautifully. The service was second to none and I can’t wait to come back already

This was our 1st visit to the Belvedere and certainly wont be our last!!!!! One of the nicest Italians we have ever had, we have recently been to Sorrento felt like we were still there! Our pasta was cooked to perfection, we were made to feel very welcome by the owners, 3 courses each, bowl of spaghetti and ice cream for the little one, glass of red wine and a cappuccino all for £47!!! Excellent value for money for quality Authentic Italian food and settingMolto delizioso Grazie mille

We went on a quiet Tuesday night, the restaurant has been run for over 40 years by the same Italian couple. Food excellent and owners very friendly, we would not hesitate to recommend and will definately be going again.

It was a last minute booking for myself and my parents. We came with no expectations and were more than satisfied. Great value for money, the food was brilliant, the service was lovely and the atmosphere was the cherry on the top! The only thing to remember is to bring cash with you as they don’t take card payments (understandable to keep costs low). Defiantly be coming back here in the near future!

Superb atmosphere and authentic Italian home cooking,just lovd this place

Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend!

Visited for the first time in a couple of years last evening (baby got in the way of more frequent visits!) and service, hosting and food was as good as ever.

We had a wonderful meal here to celebrate a Birthday; a perfect plate of Antipasto Misto, the specials of stuffed peppers ( subtle and delicious) and smoked cod pasta, the divinely light Tiramisu and a Grappa to finish. A warm room and a warm welcome on a cold night; so nice to have this restaurant still going strong for more than 30 years.

Perfect friendly Italian casual dining, nothing is too much trouble.

The feel and the style is certainly Italian as is the menu

Fantastic home cooked Italian food, very personal and always exceptionally good.

Lovely Italian restaurant. A hidden gem. Well prepared food. Nice wine. Reasonably priced. Pleasant surroundings. Polite and efficient staff. Highly recommended.

Beautiful original all Italian restaurant. Service is excellent and food is beautiful.

Nice little place but I wasn't prepared for the prices. Too expensive for what you get,portions small and all food too salty. The wine per glass very expensive as well and in short shaking the owners' hand and Italian "ambiance" shouldn't make a person have to part with far too much cash for what you get!

Great place with fantastic service and food

Just enjoyed a very authentic Italian meal in a small and intimate setting. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner and family members. The menu is quite extensive to meet all tastes. If you wish to rekindle a visit to Italy a visit to The Belevdere will revive memories. You need to take cash as they do not accept cards. Will clearly visit again

We visited early on Saturday evening for a pre-theatre dinner. We didn't think there would be anyone else in there as it was so early. To our amazement there were already 6 other people eating. From the outside the restaurant looks nothing and the surrounding area is a bit shabby, but inside it's wonderful. The restaurant is run by an Italian couple and we were greeted by the wife who seated us at the table. Her husband then came and introduced himself and made us feel like we were old friends. They were marvellous. Having ordered our food (they do gluten free pasta which is delicious) we then sat back to enjoy a glass of wine and a look at our surroundings. The whole ambience of the place, and the Italian banter coming from the kitchen, made it feel like you were in a little back-street restaurant in the heart of Italy. The place is only small but it oozes character. We were not disappointed with the food either which came in a good-sized portion. In fact we were so full we couldn't manage dessert so just had a coffee which was accompanied by Amaretti biscuits and chocolate mints. Very good coffee. We have not been here before but will certainly be going again next time we visit the theatre.

This is as authentic as it gets when it comes to Italian cuisine. It's a small, cosy restaurant run by a senior gentleman and his wife. The menu offers a wide range of pasta choices and whilst the choice of pizzas are slightly limited, they are all well made, delicious and are offered at extremely affordable prices.

Visited with two friends, one of whom can’t eat dairy, and we were looked after so well.

A lovely quaint Italian restaurant. Tonight with the beautiful weather it really felt like A taste of Italy in Wales. Great selection on the menu. The asparagus cheese to start was delicious. The egg soup was lovely too. Pollo for our main was beautiful. The ice creams are just yummy! You must visit it is a hidden gem in North Wales.

Excellent authentic Italian food freshly cooked by the friendly Italian owners.

Had a wonderful meal here on Tuesday. Four different mains and all cooked to perfection. Will be back very soon. Thank you for a lovely night.

Beautiful decor, really makes you feel like you’re in the middle of Italy.

Lovely meal as always from such pleasant hosts.Thank you.

An excellent meal in friendly surroundings- as ever. Freshly prepared Italian cuisine that tastes great. Because this is a restaurant that really does cook fresh, you can also request variations to your own taste. This is a small family run restaurant that is very popular, so it is always best to book on Fridays and Saturdays.

Authentic Italian good and great service

A family group of 14 went for an early evening meal. Due to the numbers we ordered in advance. All meals were exactly as ordered, including slight differences from the menu, and served piping hot. This is a small, homely, friendly family run restaurant, no frills, just really good Italian food prepared by Italian owners. The meals included pizzas, spag bol, carbonara, lasagne, tagliatelle and chicken cacciatore, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Even the one steak meal was excellent, with the steak being cooked as ordered. We finished with some portions of the home made tiramisu, gorgeous!

There’s a cosy friendly atmosphere which is authentically Italian, and the menu certainly lives up to that.

I can't say enough about this restaurant! All the food is outstanding and the service is unbeatable!

Authentic, wonderful Italian food and great service!

Great family run restaurant! Wonderful service and food!

Great food excellent service its the real little Italy.

Fantastic food. Great atomsphere. A true taste of Italy.

We really enjoyed our meal here. The owner came and chatted to us and being there for 36 years they are definatly doing it well. It's a quaint little restaurant and family run, with the whole family, even the grandchildren there learning the ropes. It's so lovely to be in a place that runs like this and becoming such a rarity. You can't get a welcome like this in the big, shiney massive restaurants. This is the kind of place that will regually open early for people with children or make a dish not on the menu if requested. Lovely pasta dish and propper garlic bread what more can you ask for !

A lovely little authentic Italian Restaurant in the centre of Mold. owned and ran by a lovely Italian couple, all food is cooked by real Italians, authentic Pizza, and a variety of Italian cuisine.

Jon y Simon recomendado este lugar, está dirigido por un antiguo familia italiana y la comida y el vino wee perfecto. No solo aceptan efectivo, pero nos alegramos mucho visitado. Tienes que reservar, ya que llenar y cerrar la puerta a las 9 p. m.

Leer algunas de las críticas que están a menos de cortesía volvimos después de nuestra primera visita excelente preguntando si se repitiera. Una noche tranquila, el apretón repetidas martes bienvenido, el ambiente perfecto y la excepcional comida casera hecha para una noche de pura clase. Pan de Ajo, patés, rellenos de trucha y una sensación pura de sabor de queso y galletas, regados con red house y puerto para terminar nos dejó llenos, satisfecho y decidido a volver una vez más. A decir nuestros anfitriones son amables es insuficiente, nos sentimos en casa y en la puerta significa puede ser una agradable tarde tenía una licencia sin arriesgarte.

Visitamos el Belvedere para cenar el sábado después de un intervalo de un par de años. Algunas cosas cambian a lo largo de los años, pero nos quedamos encantados de encontrar que fue tan buena como lo recordábamos. Llegamos bastante temprano y el restaurante ya estaba bastante concurrida. El servicio fue rápido y nuestros tres cursos fueron de una muy excelente estándar, ya hemos realquilado!

Best Italian restaurant I've ever been to serving proper homemade Italian food, at a good price, fantastic owners would recommend anybody

Tienes que reservar! La comida es Taaaan bueno, tradicional, casera y deliciosa, servida por el dueño encantador italiano y preparado por su esposa talento italiano.
