Our Story

Bellissimo Chicago was created in a family kitchen in a Chicago suburb out of love for quality food and drinks, lots of laughs, and the desire to make any day a special one with friends. My passion for all things Italian (particularly food and drinks), along with the popularity of my homemade limoncello among friends and family, inspired me to perfect the recipe year after year. I began dreaming of possibilities to make this delicious liqueur available to anyone, anywhere. With my family members' support and experience in entrepreneurship, technology, and marketing, we embarked on my journey, and Bellissimo was born.
