About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Since 2001, Bellini has been a family-owned and operated spot serving up some of the most delicious and heartfelt Italian food around. Our chef, Francesco Parmisciano, was born and raised in the small town of San Marco di Castellabate located 30 miles south of Salerno, Italy, where he fell in love with the art of Italian cooking. He brings that passion to every dish with fresh flavors and beautiful presentation.

In 2021, Parid and Kristi Spiro took the reins and brought new energy to Bellini, keeping the spirit of the original while taking things to the next level. Our goal is simple: serve authentic Italian food in a welcoming space where everyone feels like family. Great food, great service —just a genuinely good time.

    The weight staff there are super attentive and the food is excellent, but the noise level is pretty high and they do try to rush you out a bit

    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.

    LOVE the ravioli! Not only because it's delicious, but its perfect portion means I can finish my plate without being overstuffed!

    Robert was great and had extensive knowledge of the menu and when able to guide me and my date in the right direction. Food had great portions and the wine was delicious. The bussers were also quick to water tables and clear dishes for next course. I will definitely be back.

    While the service at Bellini is always great the food is really disappointing. I ordered the tuna steak special. Two small pieces of tuna were served and one of them was filled with sinew so I couldn't even cut it. The dish was served with a weird "risotto" that had red cabbage in it, totally lacking in seasoning. My guest has an appetizer portion of scallops that were sliced in half to make it look like there were five. Even the scallops tasted fishy and not fresh. This will be our last time at Bellini

    Excellent! Our favorite restaurant for dining before a show at the Academy of Music. Food is always delicious and service is impeccable. Maitre d’ always welcomes us and remembers us even after not dining there in several months. Never had a bad meal there and the staff makes it even better!
