About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Franco Filippone, owner and Chef of Sette Bello Ristorante, started his career in the restaurant business at the side of his father, after the family emigrated from Palermo, Sicily to open their now historic restaurant in upstate New York. After a long apprenticeship in the family restaurant, Franco relocated to Fort Lauderdale, where he applied his culinary skills at such world class restaurants as The Addison in Boca Raton, Cafe D’ Angelo and the much lauded Casa d’ Angelo in Fort Lauderdale. Now he brings all his many cooking talents to his charming new restaurant, delivering new twists on classic Italian dishes.

    Christmas Eve dinner. Had 6:30pm reservations. We’re seated promptly at a comfortable table. Our server (Bob) finally came to the table after 15 mins and asked if we wanted flat or sparkling water. We had to ask twice to have the waiter give us flat water. We finally got the waiter’s attention to order a $230 bottle of wine to find out 15 minutes later that the actual price was $300. Wine menu pricing was incorrect and vintages are not updated. Waiter was clueless on how to wait on a table. He never introduced himself or greeted our table...never told us about any specials or what was popular on the menu, etc. it was like we had to drag information out of him. It was Christmas Eve, but he never even said “Merry Christmas”, or thank you for coming. Nothing. He seemed in the weeds the entire night, but he only had 2-3 tables. The good news is the food is very good. Unfortunately the night was mediocre at best because the service was horrendous! Might go back on an off night, but in no hurry.

    Always excellent: outstanding food, stellar service, and magnificent wine list. We felt very safe there, with all social distancing and wearing masks (including patrons, as appropriate). Overall, a fine dining experience, worth the monthly effort (and risk) to eat out during this pandemic. NOTE TO OTHER DINERS: Don't forget to tip well during these difficult times: restaurant is normally at 50% capacity, so you should double your tips!!!

    Over the years we have dined at Sette Bello many times. This was the 1st time back since the pandemic took over the world. It was a wonderful return to reality.

    The food and the service at Sette Bello as usual was excellent. This was not the first time my husband and I were there but the couple we were with enjoyed the atmosphere and the food very much.

    This was our first time dining here and we were very impressed. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He knew every detail about every item from memory. Food was delicious and so was dessert. It is also very beautiful in the restaurant, loved the ambiance. Highly recommend giving this place a shot, we will be back!

    Service was overwhelmed by what I figure was an unexpected crowd - 2 waiters and dining room was almost full. Salads went to another table and had to wait longer than expected for check. Food was excellent and chef did a fantastic job!

    Sette Bello is a neighborhood gem! The veal marsala was delicious! The service was personal, and efficient. The wine list is impressive.
