Dinner at Bellagio

I decided to try the A Bellagio restaurant in downtown Campbell for Valentine's Day dinner with my wife. It had excellent reviews on Yelp and Google and was nearby.

The Valentine's Day Menu was $75/person and included the following items:

San Valentino, February 14, 2019

Antipasti
Crab cakes, fresh crab, lemon, garlic, aioli

Insalata
Organic baby spinach, season fruit, goat cheese, raspberry vinaigrette

Secondi

Choice of:
Filet Mignon, black truffle caviar, seasonal vegetables
Alaskan halibut, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, white wine, lemon, seasonal vegetables
Fresh organelle pasta, seasonal vegetables, pesto sauce


Dolce
Warm chocolate cake served with vanilla gelato


After sitting down and ordering two glasses of Italian wine from the Piedmont region, we were served the Antipasti dish of crab cakes. The crab cakes were fresh and delicious.


The next course was the salad, consisting of baby spinach, goat cheese, and a few strawberries. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anything special.




The main course was served next. I was served Filet Mignon with black truffle caviar. It was served medium-well (though the waitress never asked how I liked it). It was pretty delicious!


Inna was served Alaskan Halibut, which was a bit dry and overcooked.


For dessert, we shared a small chocolate cake with vanilla gelato.


A Bellagio had an elegant ambiance with excellent waiting staff. I enjoyed the food, though it was overpriced. It's not in the same league as The Plumed Horse - a nearby Michelin 1-star restaurant - or as good as Evvia in Palo Alto.
