Bella Mundo's design, menu and concept are perfectly timed for Harrisburg's restaurant resurgence and for the diner who is looking for fine food served in an intimate atmosphere that is both rich in art and comfort. Bella Mundo is a full dining experience: carefully prepared foods that have a classical French base, an atmosphere that is both pleasing and stimulating with sculptural art and service that is the perfect balance of attentive and friendly.

The menu is diverse, exciting and carefully prepared - serving dinners seven nights a week. Bella Mundo has been the recipient of many awards over the years: Best Fine Dining, Service, Wine List, Martinis, Romantic and Power Dinners. Our facility is also available for private affairs and can be reserved by contacting Char Magaro.

Previously the setting for Politesse, and Au Jour le Jour restaurants, this popular spot at the corner of Race and Conoy Streets in Shipoke, has been re-designed and transformed by owner Char Magaro. The bistro seats 46 people between the banquette-style tables and maple-wood bar. There is also additional café seating outside.

What most customers comment on is the consistency in food and staff. It creates an experience that does not disappoint and feels ‘like home’: warm and welcoming. The entire staff is proud of what they have built and goes out of their way to maintain and meet the customer’s expectations.

Executive Chef Ron Canady has been with Bella Mundo from the opening. He was the sous chef for years and then advanced to the executive position. Chef Canady received his associate degree in Culinary Arts from the York Technical School and has proven to be a valuable asset to both the creativity and consistency of the Bella Mundo cuisine. Chef Canady’s friendly demeanor is an added asset to the Bella Mundo experience and customers look forward to his nightly visits to the dining room.

The Beverage Manager is Salvatore Pantano, formerly at Nick's 1014 Café in Harrisburg. Salvatore is known regionally for his mixology talents and refined palate. The bar selections at Bella Mundo are well thought-out and selective, as is the wine list. Because of Sal’s creativity and consistency, Bella Mundo has repeatedly won “Best Martini and Wine Selection Awards”. Sal, a fine metal sculptor, has been with Bella Mundo since its inception and serves customers warmly, professionally and is a fixture in this destination spot.

Sous Chef Arturo Iglesias-Ortiz, who has been with Bella Mundo for 6 years, has worked his way up through the ranks to become an important pillar in our kitchen. His artistic eye and attention to detail has contributed greatly to the success of this American Bistro.
