Best Authentic Restaurants in Belmont / Hillsboro

We had a great meal at Pelato. The vibe was definitely a New York state of mind and the food rivaled many of the great NYC pasta houses. Our waitress was outstanding explaining the menu and offering suggestions. On Sunday's they make Sunday sauce and next time I go on a Sunday I will definitely order it for the table. Since this was our first time, we opted to each order a pasta dish to try and all were delicious. The meatballs and arancini were equally great. The wine list was little limited but what they offered was fairly priced - just remember your id as they will ask everyone at the table to prove they are old enough to legally imbibe. Make your reservations now and you will thank me later!

Amazing service and food as always. We didn’t have to wait at all, our table was ready as soon as we arrived, excellent wine recommendations.

Service, atmosphere, cocktails, food - all of it was amazing! Highly recommend the old fashioned, margarita pizza, lobster pasta, short rib and chicken marsala! Amazing!

Happy hour was an excellent deal - $5 glasses of sangria or house red/white wine. The house red on HH was delicious and the sangria was great! (Waiter upsold me to add Brandy which was unexpectedly another $10+ to the $5 sangria - really that is the only negative I can say about this place). I have celiac and they have an extensive GF menu that my friend and I both ordered off of so we could share. Best thing we got was probably the goat cheese stuffed peppers and the mushroom flatbread. Absolutely delicious! Excited to go back!

Everything is top notch. The food is absolutely fantastic and the dishes are prepared with care and thought. First aesthetically pleasing and then pleasing to the palate. The service is first class. You get the feeling that everyone believes in what they are doing. This was an incredible experience.
