The
Bellagio is one of the best restaurants of Yerevan and worth the visit.
The Italian name suggests Italian food, but we would consider it Armenian
food with Italian flavor. It is located on Amirian Street, just two
blocks from Republic Square.
Restaurant
Design - Very Good
The Bellagio on Amirian Street has three different levels. The first
one is designed in standard dining room fashion with white tablecloths
and closely positioned tables. The second level reminds more of a lounge
with huge projection screen, bar in the middle and comfortable chairs
with small round tables. The third one is the tea house in the basement
which is good for conversations, but not for dinning.
The lounge of Bellagio is the best place of the restaurant. Its dark
colored interior with recessed lightening creates very intimate and
nice environment. It is a great place for conversation with the friends,
casual dining or for romantic dinner.
Service - Excellent
Service in Bellagio is very professional. The uniformed waiters and
waitress provide exceptional service and can explain their dishes. Staff
is honest, polite and courteous.
Food and Drinks - Very Good
Bellagio became one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We found
that regular Tafta Kyfta (fried lean ground beef) is one of the best
we had in Yerevan. Every dish in the restaurant was great and we enjoyed
all of them. The rainbow trout also deserved mentioning, the dish was
very impressive and tasty. Salads and apetizers were good, but shrimp
for seafood salad were canned. The Areni wine in Bellagio one of the
best we had in Yerevan's restaurants.
Prices - Moderate $$$
We rate Bellagio moderately priced restaurant a good dinner with wine
under $10 per person.
Obviously if you order Sevan Trout, which was frozen, it will cost you
over $15 just for the trout alone.
