Our skills, our tastes and our discoveries all rest upon the compressed layers of experience from family, friends, acquaintances, other cooks and the long ranks of generations that have preceded us. I feel privileged and thankful to have grown up in Italy where eating is a way of life and where almost everyone I knew influenced me to have a passion for cooking. I really think that cooking and eating is one of the maximum expressions that life has to offer.
Nothing significant exists under the Italian sun that is not touched by art. Italy's food is twice blessed because it is the product of two arts; the art of cooking and the art of eating. While each nourishes the other, they are in no way identical accomplishments. The art of cooking produces the dish but it's the art of eating that transforms the dish into a meal.

i have eaten here several times....paintings were nice (murals), but the split in the seat cushion was driving me up the wall. The calamari was a little tough, some silverware dirty. Authentic italian? Close but no cigar. The waitress was not familiar with some foods (or wine for that matter), but the main course saved the day. Dessert was pleasant. It's a shame they don't have a bar for some limoncello or sambuca or grappa....not bad

Bel Paese is, hands down, the best Italian restaurant in York County. The frescos and trompe l'oiel on the walls, the painted tin ceiling, and board of family photos indicate that you have entered a gastronomic world that is at once sophisticated and friendly. The dessert display and posted specials greeting you at the entrance prime your appetite. As you peruse the menu a friendly and knowledgeable wait-person brings warm homemade bread to your table. All this is just an introduction for the delights the chef is prepared to create for you, though. Using fresh and authentic ingrediants, the chef creates dishes that can be subtle or robust, traditional or contemporary, presented beautifully so that the eye is as pleased as the palate. Make sure to finish your meal with coffee (Italian or American) and a piece of homemade tiramisu or a homemade cannoli. Looking for a REAL Italian meal (not like you get in the chain "restaurants")? Go to the Beautiful Country, Bel Paese.

Bel Paese has a wonderful selection of Italian food made on site. Whether you're in the mood for pasta of sandwiches. They have a wide selection to please anyone. You can also bring your own wine to have with your meal. Very quiet atmosphere and they serve you quickly. One word describes it. Excellent.
