Bella Tori at the Mansion Reviews

I just survived months of planning for a bar mitzvah for my son and we held the event yesterday at Bella Tori. From day one, I was practically handheld by Eric, the Manager, and it was an experience unlike I have ever had before. Eric was the highlight of my months-long planning neuroses and my husband and I have never had this type of customer service anywhere else in our life (and, about these things, my husband has very strong opinions!)

Eric shared his experiences with us and put our minds at ease immediately. His management would be the crux of our event and I could tell that he knew all aspects of it even though we did not. He was welcoming, warm, down to earth and unpretentious; furthermore, his hospitality and reassurance were available throughout the months of planning. As I realized all of the details required on my end -- favors, candy buffet, setting up, various vendors delivering balloons, centerpieces, cake, anir hockey tables!!, etc., he was available and responsive in a way that was truly invaluable to me and our family.

For the cherry on top, the food was plentiful and delicious, the service top notch From the entire team all the way up to the Owner and chefs; all of our guests raved about the event from start to finish.

So... if you are looking for a beautiful environment that offers everything you can imagine for your special occasion, this is definitely your place. Highly recommend and will definitely return in the future. Call in advance to make sure you get a spot! Hands-down, a forever memory. Thank you, Eric and the Crew Bella Tori! You exceeded all expectations!!

Very lucky to say we had our wedding here! Bella Tori was the perfect venue. Spectacular food, wonderfully attentive staff, beautiful scenery and amazing coordination for the entire event. Eric took care of everything for us. He invited us into the mansion first thing in the morning and had breakfast ready. The bridal suite was beautiful. All my guests raves about the food and venue as a whole. My husband and I felt like royalty. Thank you so much for making our day, the best day of our lives (and the best day of our flower girls, life!).

Eric and the entire Bella Tori staff did a great job bringing my wedding vision to life and the food was excellent! We can't wait to go back to celebrate our first anniversary there!

Eric and his team at Bella Tori went above and beyond for my wedding reception. The food was fantastic! And we loved the atmosphere. Leading up to the wedding I couldn't wait for the reception and I was not disappointed in the least. Bravo to a wonderful reception venue, delicious food, fantastic value, and outstanding service!

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.
