Bella Tori at the Mansion

I cannot express how great our experience with Bella Tori was. Eric was extremely helpful and flexible with us. We had a party of approximately 80 guests which would have normally been slightly too large for the adjoining dining and sun rooms. Eric and my husband worked out a seating arrangement that gave us plenty of room around the tables and sufficient room for a dance floor. The service was excellent. I worked as a formal dining service manager for a number of years and would have been thrilled to have a group of waitstaff as accommodating and professional as those at Bella Tori. Throughout the meal Eric was also present checking to make sure everything was to our liking. The food was outstanding. We certainly didn't have a wedding where no one will remember their meal. Our package included a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, an appetizer course with eggplant rolatini (so good!), 3 entree choices (filet mignon, rack of lamb, chicken marsala) plus a vegetarian option, and an amazing Viennese table. The filet was the best I have ever had - tender enough to cut with your fork. Top shelf liquor, premium beer and wine were also available. The decor was also fantastic. Bella Tori is a refurbished Victorian mansion with a separate bar, seating areas, an outdoor patio with tables, a beautiful staircase to upstairs rooms, and a warm (red linens and chairs and dark wood) dining area. In the foyer there is a skylight that lets in natural light. Our guests kept asking how we found the place. If you will have a group of 80 or fewer people and would like an intimate reception I highly recommend Bella Tori. The restaurant is also perfect for a rehearsal dinner or special event. For an everyday dinner the prices are up there with a nice, somewhat pricey night out. For everything we received at our dinner and reception I think it was an amazing deal.
