What a place.
Authentic, healthy, clean, flavorful, quaint…magnificent. Everything I look for in one place and more.
Lee is one of the best cooks I’ve come across. I could not be more grateful to frequent his restaurant.
Unreal flavours! Can't get this kid of food any where else. Propper feel good food and calm italian environment! I come here a few times a week now!
Best cafe in town. Taste of Italy where elsewhere your only option for breakfast is sausage and beans. Got panini with Arancini today. Something Lee never seen before but that's the thing. You can always try something new there!

Read the write ups about this place in the papers and since I was in the area I just had to visit for miself - I can confirm that Calgero (owner) a French born SICILIAN certainly knows his food and Maisie (a lover of Nature) makes exceptional coffee -
Home made foods like Purpette, Lasagna have the Sicilian flavour (mangiare Di casa) - there's also Arancini, Cannoli, pasta al forno, escalopes, as well as Italian biscuits and sweets - Highly Recommend (not forgetting Best English breakfast I have tasted for a very long time)

Lesen Sie die Berichte über diesen Ort in den lokalen Zeitungen und da ich in der Gegend war, musste ich nur für mich selbst besuchen - ich kann bestätigen, dass Calgero (Besitzer) ein Französisch geboren SICILIAN sicher sein Essen und Maisie (ein Liebhaber der Natur) macht außergewöhnlichen Kaffee -
Hausgemachte Lebensmittel wie Purpette, Lasagne haben den sizilianischen Geschmack (Mangiare Di casa) - es gibt auch Arancini, Cannoli, Pasta al forno, Schnitzel, sowie italienische Kekse und Süßigkeiten - Sehr zu empfehlen

Leggi le annotazioni su questo posto sui giornali e dato che ero nella zona che dovevo visitare per conto mio - posso confermare che Calgero (proprietario) un SICILIANO nato in Francia conosce certamente il suo cibo e Maisie (un amante della natura) fa caffè eccezionale -
Cibi fatti in casa come Purpette, Lasagna hanno il sapore siciliano (mangiare Di casa) - ci sono anche Arancini, Cannoli, pasta al forno, scaloppine, così come biscotti e dolci italiani - Altamente consigliato (senza dimenticare la migliore colazione inglese che ho assaggiato per un molto tempo)
A wonderful man, with inspiring passion and devotion to food and to his cooking. Can't sing enough praise to this place. Would definitely recommend as the food was cooked with heart and tasted amazing 🤍
I've never met such a devoted man to his passion of cooking PROPER food.
Not you general cafe, but beautiful hand made food made with total passion about how it looks and tastes.
Such a delightful place, very much worth a visit or two.
I enjoyed his banter with his customers and his life stories of how life was for him growing up as a child.
This man is a chef genius! The passion Lee has for cooking is contagious and in the few short minutes I was at Cafe Belissimo I could see that the love for food is a part of this mans being! On top of that the food was absolutely amazing! Best meal I've had during my stay! Thank you so much for this experience🙌
