Best Authentic Restaurants in Belmont

5 stars across the board. First time visit to Catalu, and we will definitely be back. This place has checks all the boxes of a fine dining restaurant without the pretentiousness that is often part of the fine dining experience. The tapas was spectacular and paella was even more delicious. Our waitress (Angie?) was affable and knew the menu backwards and forwards, although it was her first week of employment at the restaurant. Very pleasant, indeed. We look forward to booking at Catalu again very soon.

We went for Valentine's. It's not our first time. The food is wonderful! Everything tastes fantastic, and the presentation is outstanding. The service is a little slow, but the quality of the food is worth the wait. The lighting could be a little less bright, but it seems authentic Greek. We will be back.

We loved our experience at State of Confusion. If you are a fan of New Orleans cuisine, then it would be right up your alley. We shared the Gator Gumbo as an app and it’s a huge bowl with a thick rich base. It was delicious. Then I had the Muffaletta with confusion potatoes and my husband had the Bologna sandwich with red beans and rice. The muffaletta was huge and I had to take half home. It was really good. My husband thought mine was good too but thought his bologna sandwich was just ok. He said it reminded him of a sandwich you would get at Arby’s the way they thin sliced the meat. We both agreed we will definitely be back but he would try something else. Our server was really nice and attentive and it seemed like everyone was pitching in to help on a busy night. I loved the atmosphere - it was lively but not too loud. All in all, great experience!

Great experience. We liked the ambiance of soft light and a warm feel to the restaurant. Dan did a good job serving us. The Bronzino was perfectly cooked. The chicken and spaghetti was given a two thumbs up by a 100% Italian who knows her pasta and sauce. The Tinezzi Corvine wine was palate pleasing and paired well with the food.

Great customer service. Great food. Will definitely return!
