After so many years of using cheap silverware (and I mean that in terms of price and quality) I spent months looking for the perfect cutlery for our family. I knew I wanted 18/10 stainless, but it was also important to find a set that was aesthetically pleasing. I love the simple, yet timeless look of the Bellasera pattern and the unique knives are a fantastic bonus! The pieces have a nice weight to them - not too heavy, which is important for us with small kids in the house, but not light and flimsy feeling either. I do wish there was a bit more size differentiation between the dinner forks and salad forks, but so far that’s the only remotely negative thing I could possibly say. We like it so much we purchased an additional 23-piece setting so we could have service for 12! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
