Profile

Giving the small-plate trend a multiculti tweak, this Upper West Side spot serves Spanish tapas, Italian antipasti, and Turkish meze on dishware from the appropriate country of origin. The rest of the menu touches down in familiar territory, from pasta to steak-frites.

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 11:30 a.m.—4 p.m.

Went there for dinner last night around 6PM. Place was already packed. I was accommodated promptly. Host, co owner was very friendly and he help go through menu. I choose Prix-Fixe, three courses for $25.00, each course few choices. Started with home made hummus and grilled pita bread. It was so fresh and perfectly done. For main course I had pomegranate glazed Sea Bass served with spicy carrots and cilantro, it was so good that fills like melting in mouth. At the end I had Baklava with pistachio and freshly made whipped cream, you must try this traditional Turkish delicacy it is like to die for. They offer special wine with Prix-Fixe menu, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Grigio, both from Napa Valley, each $6.00 glass / $20.00 bottle. For quality of food and service, this is great, great deal

I don't usually bother writing reviews but was so surprised at the poor experience by the previous reviewer. I have always had exceptional meals and lovely service at Bello Sguardo. My husband and I dine there often and have been on a first name basis with many of the staff members and the owners since day one. I recommend this restaurant when anyone asks for an UWS suggestion.
