Went out on a limb and ended up at Bellini’s after my previous reservations had to be cancelled. Happy Hour deals were great! The portions were huge even for happy hour deals. The food was delicious the waiters and staff were so nice! Would definitely recommend and go back. Recommend the Caesar Salad for happy hour and any of their happy hour drinks. The mussels were also delicious and a great steal for happy hour.

Eggplant Parmesan is some of the best I’ve ever had. Portions are enormous. They are very up front that it’s byob — but of course I missed it and had to run to a nearby wine shop to get a bottle. The only real complaint is that the seating needs some improvement, in terms of density / placement, but also in terms of the stability of the furniture. My wife’s chair was so rickety that she had to swap it for another.

Food and service are always fantastic. We were there early so there was virtually no noise but on a busy night it can get a little noisey. I'd highly recommend as your neighborhood hot spot or a business meal.
