Bella Blu Restaurant

People say that you cannot buy happiness with money, but you can buy some good food and that’s pretty much the same! 😃

Come to and we’ll make sure you have the best experience of your life 🍽️🇮🇹🥂

Welcome to Bella Blu Ristorante, where our walls come alive with the mesmerizing frescoes of primitive modernist artist Antonio Romano. Rooted in a rich ancestral tradition spanning five generations, Romano’s distinctive style, influenced by luminaries like Man Ray and Rene Magritte, takes center stage in our culinary haven.

As a key figure in the 1980s New York City art scene, Romano brings his fresco expertise to Bella Blu, crafting an atmosphere where history and modernity converge. Using his own ink and emulsion formulas, Romano transforms “found” canvases, creating a visual narrative that speaks to American landscapes, historic scenes, and folk portraits.

Our restaurant becomes a canvas for Romano’s artistry, a testament to his ability to blend modernism with narrative folk art. The intricate layering of inks and images on our walls invites you into a world where past and present coexist in harmony.

While Romano’s works extend beyond Bella Blu to locations like St. Mary’s Cathedral in Albany and Our Lady of Pompeii in Greenwich Village, it’s here that his art becomes an integral part of your dining experience. The fusion of culinary delights and visually stunning frescoes at Bella Blu Ristorante creates a unique ambiance, transcending traditional dining. Join us to savor not only the flavors but also the artistry that defines this cultural hotspot.
