Il Bellagio
Located in the heart of CityPlace, West Palm's busy commercial district and walking mall, this noisy Italian bistro is one of the best and busiest restaurants in the city. In addition to its excellent location and festive ambience, Il Bellagio offers outstanding service even during the weekend rush when out-of-towners flock to CityPlace by the busload. All the classics of Italian cooking are here: chicken parmigiana, spaghetti Bolognese, and fettuccine alfredo, to name a few. The salmon sautéed in Amaretto cream sauce and toasted almonds is also to die for. If you can, snag a table outside so you can enjoy the cool ocean breeze and classical fountains in the main plaza.
