Bellini

Bellini is 5 stars in everyway. My go to place for authentic Italian food and homemade pasta. The best espresso martini in town! Everyone who works here is so welcoming, attentive, kind and funny. The location could not be better and the owners will go out of your way to make sure that you have the best experience. Highly recommend for any occasion, perfect for a big group party to intimate date or corporate dinner.

Bellini has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly transports you back to Italy. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the friendliest staff who make you feel like family! The ambiance is charming and intimate, perfect for a cozier night out. The service was truly impeccable- everyone was so attentive and genuinely kind, which made the dining experience feel a little more special. That being said, while the food is good, it doesn’t quite reach the level of authenticity or flavor that I was hoping for. What DID reach that level of flavor was the peach Bellini! The dishes were decent, but nothing particularly stood out to be exceptional. It’s definitely enjoyable, just not mind-blowing. However- the overall experience- great service, inviting atmosphere, and a little taste of Italy in Philly- makes it a little worth your time to visit!

Loved the atmosphere!!! The host/owner was a delight and had a refreshing personality. The bartender was engaging and the drinks were fabulous!!! Highly recommend!! A must try and you won’t be disappointed!! The espresso martini and gin don was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I sat right next to the host stand and had amazing encounters with staff the whole night. The cocktails were 10/10 and all recommendations for food lived up to what they said they were. Best chicken parm and espresso martinis around. Traveled over an hour for this and do not regret it at all! 10/10 recommended this place! We will be back:)

Celebrated our 24th anniversary at the restaurant. Couldn’t be happier with the amazing hospitality and food. Top notch experience. The desert was to die for.

The drinks we got were great & I really appreciated that they were able to accommodate my vegan diet! The menu is reasonably priced which is tough to find in Philly nowadays! The highlight would be our server Enki as he was personable and knowledgeable and provided great service!

Great food and a real Italian atmosphere. Friendly crew and special thanks to the young guy (believe he comes from Albania)

Exceptional hospitality and service. The food is top notch, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Ownership makes you feel like family & the ambience is very calm. Will be returning very soon

Got there at 6 and made it for our 7:30 show no problem. Attentive service, cozy place, delish food. Easy parking close by. Happy we found our new pre-theater restaurant!

Service was great. Our waiter was awesome. That's about where it stops. In a city like Philly, if you're an Italian restaurant, you better be really really good. We ordered the arancini, which was cold on the inside. The bread is dry and crumbly and would bring my Italian grandmother to tears (not in a good way) I got the duck ragu which I thought was very good, but the people in my party that got seafood dishes were not impressed with their food. Probably won't come back with all the other options we have for Italian food.

It's a pretty average Italian spot. The complimentary bread was really dry and crumbly. The calamari had good seasoning but was a bit too oily and the breading turned out soggy. The bruschetta had a nice crunch to the bread, but the cheese on top was dry, tough, and lacked flavor. I had the Fettuccine al Ragu di Anatra--the sauce was tasty, though I was expecting shredded duck instead of ground. The pasta didn't hold together well and felt almost like it was gluten-free. Overall, the food was mediocre and not really worth the price, but the staff was friendly and the space was clean and spacious.

Really enjoyed the meal, service was excellent. Veal Parm - awesome, veal saltimbocca - awesome. Escargot - cooked perfectly but the polenta was quite dry, our only complaint. Our friends had the Tortelloni and Mediterranean Chicken. The house made pasta was also excellent, not sure what the picky Yelpers are griping about. Found this place on Opentable and if we would have checked Yelp, we would have missed out on a wonderful meal.

What a great find in Center City. Bellini invites you in with warmth and the smell of mom's kitchen. Charming and intimate. The staff is outstanding and attentive, yet not overbearing. The cuisine was excellent and generous. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a great dining experience.

I came here yesterday for happy hour but was told it's only available at the bar. I have kids so of course I wouldn't and couldn't sit at the bar. Almost every place that has happy hour at the bar only lists it on their menu. I highly recommend updating the menu. The hosts were nice but said it's not legal to sit down in the dinning area and do happy hour in Philly which is not true at all. I've been to plenty of restaurants that offer sit down dinning happy hour. Also it took us over 30 mins mins to find parking. So come early or find a garage near by. We ended up leaving so I can't rate how the food was.

Squid ink pasta brought the umami to the table. Cocktails a bit watered down. Stick to wine. Expected the Fried eggplant parmigiana to be like the chicken cutlet but is more of a lasagna style so disappointing. Menu states chef can make anything to your liking. Asked for no cheese on fried eggplant and told no can do. Had Chicken cutlet envy as viewed from adjoining table guests - that looks like a must try. If only Bellini made me friend eggplant no cheese - it could have been a more positive experience. Great service. Lady's enjoyed their bday dessert.

What an amazing and awesome place. In town for a wedding and after 4 days of festivities we realized we had not made any reservations for ourselves and it was Mother's Day. They did everything to fit a party of 7 in and we are so glad they did. The fresh pasta was delicious and perfect. Everyone's meals were outstanding. The staff and the owners are generous and accommodating. But go for the food!!! The fresh pastas are truly the best I have had in a long time. After dinner we had a family emergency and the owners help assist in getting us an ambulance and making us all as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Great food and spectacular customer service, you can go wrong. I highly recommended. Come for the food, and enjoy the hospitality. Food that would make you Nonna proud. A meal like eating Sunday gravy

The veal chop special. That's it. That's the note (just kidding!). Expensive for sure but the veal was buttery soft and perfectly cooked, with a mild sauce that perfectly complimented the flavors of the meat. Everything was well-seasoned while still letting the natural flavors of the dish shine through. Others at the table ordered the pasta which was handmade and cooked perfectly al dente. The waiter was hilarious and service was above and beyond.

Bellini welcomed our large party with exceptional service and the best, authentic Italian food. We are from out of town and make sure to visit every year. They are so welcoming and we always love our experience here. Ask for Parin and he will make sure you are taken care of.

It had been a long time since I visited Bellini. Ironically, my first time eating here was Restaurant Week 2013. That lunch I shared with my son's father. This dinner date was with my son. We made a spur of the moment 9pm reservation via OpenTable. Bellini is on the corner and you could probably walk right past it if you're not careful. We arrived right on time and were properly greeted. When I told the maître d' we had a reservation, he immediately sat us at our table. The restaurant was busy but not crowded. It was loud simply because of the Eagles game that was playing on the television. There were people dining inside and in the outside seating area. The waitress arrived quickly and poured us water while we perused the menu. She also asked if we knew what we wanted to drink. The menu that was given showed wine and cocktails only. I had to ask about other drinks for my 15 year old. He requested a Coca Cola and for it to be poured in a wine glass. They accommodated his request. Since it was Restaurant Week, we ordered from that menu. My son, however, only wanted one thing and that was the Pollo alla Parmigiano I ordered: Bellini -- Fresh peach pu​rée, topped with Italian prosecco Insalata di Cesare -- Crispy romaine lettuce with a homemade creamy Caesar dressing, croutons, and shaved parmigiano Ravioli di Ricotta Fresca -- Ravioli stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese served in San Marzano fondue Pollo alla Parmigiana -- Freshly breaded chicken tender, pan fried, topped with marinara and parmigiano. Tiramisu -- Three layers of lady fingers soaked in coffee and liqueur, filled with zabaglione cream, topped with grated Belgium Chocolate The Bellini and Tiramisu were not on the Restaurant Week menu. The food was excellently plated and delivered with impeccable timing. It was a nice consistent flow of food. I was able to eat and savor each course without feeling rushed. Each course was equally delicious. I loved the Ravioli (although it was only two of them) and the Pollo alla Parmigiana was superb. The chicken was juicy and tender with just the right amount of sauce. My son felt that it was too much sauce. The only thing that I didn't like was that even though my son had ONE item from the Restaurant Week menu, they charged me as if he ordered from each course. I wish they had charged me a là carte as if he had ordered from their regular menu. This jacked up the bill. This is my only complaint. All other aspects of our dinner were great. Our waitress and the staff were great! They checked in with us, but didn't hover. I would definitely return (probably on alone without my son)

Had dinner here Sunday night for my Mother In Law's birthday. Fantastic service, generous portions, and absolutely delicious food! The tiramisu is among the best I've ever had. Veal, salmon and the halibut special were all just incredible.

Food was very fresh and wonderful! Service was great and quick. It is a bit loud so if you have any hearing issues, it might be a challenge. Loved the painting on ceiling and would definitely eat here again!

The food was excellent and the service was superb. Kudos to Sal our waiter for the top notch service and attentiveness. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Outstanding food and even better service. Everything tasted fresh and was just delicious. We were a party of 4. The 4 entrees at our table were the chicken parm, the eggplant, the bronzino and the lasagna. Everyone loved their dish. The desserts were decadent. And the service was superb. Salvatore and the rest of the staff were so attentive and professional. They truly worked as a team to make sure we were taken care of. Outstanding experience.

Had a great birthday dinner here. The ambiance was nice, the service was great, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Tried Bellini again, and glad we did. The Veal Parmesan was great, again! Tasty cocktails, very attentive staff and lively crowd. The seafood risotto was great! Caprese salad was very good and a bit different than the typical caprese. The basil was in a pesto form that was beautiful-should have gotten a pic!

Food was not good. Veal was tough and Egg Plant part was dry. Service was poor. Had to ask for bread and extra plates for escargot. Ambiance was poor. Told every waiter and server was our anniversary. No acknowledgement. No tablecloths. Prices above average. Beverages also above average. Wine prices way above average.

Had a fantastic early Valentine's Day dinner here tonight. Waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended the Gin Don as a drink and it was delicious. I had the special, spinach gnocchi stuffed with ricotta and it was perfect. My wife had the lobster pasta and she said it was delicious. We split a tiramisu for dessert, however did not have a chance to take a picture before we devoured it. We will definitely be back.

The food is passable, but there is so much better Italian in the city. It's also really, really expensive for just meh food - I've been here a few times (not my choice) and every time, the bill ends up being 75% more than my mental math. The servers are very nice, thus the 2 stars. Otherwise, just not worth it.

Great drinks, bad food, good ol Jersey goofy guys. Caesar salad was very good though.

It's been a decade since last visiting Bellini, but so happy to return to this adorable restaurant. Though under new ownership, the restaurant looks as I remember it. It was a celebratory meal as we were celebrating my mom's birthday and, luckily enough, we made reservations amidst restaurant week! What a lovely surprise to have the chance to experience a three course meal that featured some delicious, Italian classics. Between our party or 7, I'm certain we managed to try the ENTIRE tasting menu. I stepped out of my comfort zone for the occasion and ordered the arugula salad. The bitter lettuce has begun to grow on me a bit. It was dressed a with a light vinaigrette and topped with apples and pecans. It was a light and delicious start to the meal. Of course I *had to* try J's salad as well. He got the antipasto. It was more like a miniature charcuterie board which is a-okay with me! All the meats, cheeses, and accompaniments were tasty. For the second (pasta) course I, AGAIN, stepped out of my comfort zone or flavors and for the Gorgonzola gnocchi. So happy I did! It was so creamy and lacked the bite of cheese I typically run away from. J got the GF pesto and he said it was incredible. As an entree I got the chicken with the creamy Marsala sauce (i forger the official name of the dish). OMG!! I literally can't stop talking about it. I could eat the mushroom-sauce for the rest of my life it was that good. And for the finale, we got the dessert sampler (and then some). The majority of the options are homemade and to die for. We got the chocolate mousse, cheesecake, cannoli, cream puff and tiramisu. We also tried a trio of gelato which was creamy with every bite. Overall the experience at Bellini was great. The serving sizes were perfect. Our server, Mike, was a hoot and very attentive, though at times service was slow. No stars deducted as I'll assume the restaurant was under pressure serving the entire establishment three-course meals.

Bellini has quickly turned into one of my favorite restaurants. The owner is extremely friendly and provides attentive and efficient service. The cocktails are superb. I highly recommend the homemade Limoncello! Homemade bread is served with probably the best balsamic glaze I have ever tasted. And that is homemade as well. All the pasta is made in house and the portions are plentiful. The desserts are exceptional, and yes, they are homemade as well! All in all, we had a fabulous meal! Thank you Bellini!

This small restaurant was absolutely delicious! The pasta all tasted homemade and was very flavorful for each dish. Each dish was plated very nicely and clearly made with care. The staff was very attentive but not overbearing, and made our meal an enjoyable experience! The bruschetta was light and fresh, and the tortelloni was stuffed with applewood smoked chicken and ricotta cheese. The sauce on top was amazing! Finally, the spaghetti with lobster was also delicious! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant for anyone passing through the area, as their food selection was outstanding!

We came here before seeing a show at seven. got here at 615. The waiter was immensely kind and considerate. the staff all cared about our needs. the food and the wait for the food was OUTSTANDING. if given the opportunity, get dessert!!!!! the people there were so kind as well. i loved the lighting and the tables. the tables were comfortable and the lighting was comforting. i felt at home and insanely NOT anxious. the only thing i do have to critique is that it's a bit pricey for some people. in summary, i loved the experience, food, and the servers. will definitely come back.

We went here for 2022 Fall Restaurant week with a group of friends to try the aesthetics Italian food. As a not-big-fan of Italian food person, my experience at this place was quiet pleasant since I really loved their "Risotto" with seafood!! Their "Arugula Salad" was also refreshing and the beef dish (forgot the name) was pretty good (juicy & tender). However, the service was not that pleasant as their food. They guy was asking for what we want to drink before ordering the food, and we were sober, so we didn't order any alcohol. Then, the servant was giving us some wired look at us (I guess he wasn't happy about not ordering drinks so he won't get more tips at the end).

Went on a Thursday evening prior to the theater. Only about 5 or 6 tables occupied. We shared a calamari appetizer that was lightly breaded and very tender. I had the veal parmigiana and my wife had the eggplant parmigiana. Very large portions. My wife enjoyed the eggplant. My veal was tasty but honestly I have had better. For dessert she had the tiramisu and I had the crème brûlée. Both were very good. The highlight though was the service. From the front desk to our server to the busboy. All were excellent. Overall a pleasant experience.

We came on a Monday night after not getting into our initial restaurant plan, and another option being closed. I'm very glad we did. Service was excellent; quick, friendly, and relaxing atmosphere despite the restaurant being relatively empty on a Monday. To start, we ordered the Escargot appetizer. We were both pleasantly surprised; most escargot in French restaurants are treated with lots of butter and cheese; this was a much lighter preparation with a sweeter combination of polenta & raisins and smaller pieces of escargot, but a decent amount of them. Both the fish items we got were good as well. The salmon entree is topped with cacao powder, which I found to be odd. It didn't really add much to the overall flavor but I've never seen that before. Salmon was a little dry but worked well with the sauce. The dish was also described as a "fondue" but I didn't get any notes of cheese; it tasted closer to a fava bean purée. My friend enjoyed his snapper special as well. Both were on the "lighter" side. Bread was okay, but came with a very sweet housemade fig balsamic which was unique. Overall the menu was very unique, with items such as duck, rabbit, and escargot on the menu or as a special which is unique for an Italian menu. I'll have to come back to try some of their more traditional Italian dishes and cocktails (they run a happy hour 4-6?) Edit; I should not that it seems this place is rated slightly lower than it should be. A lot of previous reviews spoke to the previous owner being rude, or issues during restaurant week specifically. Take the overall average rating with a grain of salt.

The food was scrumptious and the vibe was immaculate. We were even able to customize a menu item. The server was very attentive and we had everything out in a timely manner - which was good because I was starving! My first time here but the place was packed when we were there so it must be good. My picture doesn't do it justice but the ceiling was pretty cool.

My in-laws were in the town, and we booked a table for 4. Even though they were a little late to the reservation, the restaurant made no problem. (They were not happy with it for sure, but they did not make us feel uncomfortable about it. So do not be late still) Fantastic food and a delicious menu. Everything is authentic Italian style cooked. We love it! Decoration needs to be updated but gives old italian vibe, no complaint. Our favorite thing was how our server, Micheal, improved our night. He was quick, careful, professional, and very friendly. He checked on us without needing him--excellent, outstanding professionalism. We love every second of it. We will be back! Special thanks to Micheal.

We found this gem about a month ago and came back for another dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. Cozy dining room, although the volume can get a little loud depending on the crowd. The staff were charming and attentive. Nice cocktail and wine selection. The food was absolutely delicious! We will most definitely return.

Food is expensive and mediocre. Refused to accept 3 credit cards for 3 couples said maximum is 2. Told us if we didn't like it don't come back when we asked for consideration. Poor customer service goes with the mediocre and overpriced food.

A wonderful evening. The owner, chef and servers clearly take tremendous pride in everything they do. The space is comfortable and inviting, the food is very good, and the service is both efficient and enjoyable. They also seem to be very attentive and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and allergies. It interestingly seems like eating at home.....in a very nice home :-). If you are looking for a nice place to eat, either near your home or while visiting Philly, you won't be disappointed coming here.

Wow this place was actually terrible. Came here for restaurant week, so I got the 3 course dinner. First of all, the complimentary bread was the worst bread I've ever had. It tasted like it was frozen and then simply defrosted right before being served to us. The salad was average. The pasta came lukewarm with what tasted like store bought pesto sauce, except it was worse than store bought pesto. Finally, the steak was the driest thing I've ever eaten. It was hard to chew and even harder to swallow. Will not be coming back ever.

The sibs and I went to Bellini last eve. We sat outside in one of their beautifully appointed and heated dining shelters. They're very pretty and comfortable. The service was excellent the staff and management are lovely, they're professional, friendly, and NOT pushy - they're very laidback in a good way. The food was delicious - I think the pasta is made in house and the sauces are light and fresh; the salads are fresh and filling though very light on your tummy. The portions are generous and high quality! Mussels marina were delicious and the grilled bread pushed the dish over the top to sublime. Sister ordered the gnocchi with San Marzano fondue sauce and brother ordered pasta primavera. I had tastes of it all as well as a salad with beets, fennel, cheese, and oranges ! All were delicious! They've a full bar !!! Yay! If you love food and nice people, and a variety of cocktails and fabulous wines...GO THERE!

This is our second time eating at Cappellini and I would give it ten stars out of five if I could! Parid expertly runs front of house and is warm and welcoming. Robert was our server and he was just great. The food is so delicious - I've never had better chicken Parmesan. And you're missing out if you don't try the fig balsamic with the complimentary bread! We highly recommend this restaurant!

This restaurant was fantastic! From the moment we entered, the entire staff was courteous, attentive, engaged, interactive, aware, and knowledgeable. The food was super fresh and superb. We were in town for a the evening for dinner and a show and we couldn't be more pleased. It is a shame the drive from the suburbs is too much for a frequent trip to visit. We will be sure to come back when we are in town. We highly recommend it.

Went here for date night. It's a small restaurant with a family owned type of feel. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Our waiter was so nice and helpful when we were trying to figure out what to eat. It's not the fanciest restaurant but it was nice. I wouldn't go here if you're looking for a really refined and classy date night, but if you're just looking for a quick and good Italian dinner- then this is a good option. We got the carpaccio and gnocchi as our starters - the carpaccio was good, I've had better but this was still good; the gnocchi was amazing. For our mains we got the tortellini and the steak special which came with a honey mustard sauce. I don't usually like honey mustard but it was actually pretty good. The roasted potatoes were amazing and had an amazing crunch to them. The tortellini was pretty good too. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and cheesecake. They were both pretty standard and pretty good. Overall, definitely a good restaurant and would def go back.

I went to Bellini Grill for restaurant week with a group of coworkers for lunch. The restaurant was packed. Service was extremely slow, so they were not properly prepared for a full restaurant. The meal starts with bread, which was needed since it took so long to get our meals. But the bread and oil was nothing memorable. I'd say the same about my caesar salad which was bland. Both are edible, but nothing I can't make myself at home. The entree was where the restaurant shined. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. The chicken was perfectly cooked over a delicious bed of linguine. The proportions were perfect, with a nice sized piece of chicken and the right amount of sauce to complement the food and not drown it. My meal ended with the Tiramisu, which was a delectable ending to my meal. I left happy with my dessert choice. The first part of my meal was just wasted calories as I got no enjoyment from the food, which took a long time to get. Thankfully, things took a turn for the better with my entree. Luckily as I was leaving I noticed the beautiful mural on the ceiling. I wish I had seen it sooner as I am a huge fan of murals. I didnt have time to fully admire it. Make sure you look up when you visit Bellini. And maybe the service is better outside of restaurant week. I do feel like Bellini Grill is capable of doing better than what I experienced.

This was our first time dining at Bellini. I made a reservation a couple months in advance on OpenTable since we were going to see a show at the Academy of Music. Our reservation was at 5:15, but we arrived around 4:50. The host was very friendly and sat us immediately. He warned us the table he sat us at by the window can be a little tight for tall people and offered to move us if we were uncomfortable. We were fine, so we stayed at the table. Our server was excellent, and he checked on us throughout our dinner. I had an Aperol spritz, and my husband had an IPA. The Aperol spritz was very refreshing. They provided complimentary bread. The bread was a little too hard and crusty for my liking, but the inside was good. There was olive oil on the table for you to dip your bread in, but there was also a homemade fig jam for the bread. I really loved the fig jam and thought it was a unique touch. Originally my husband and I were each going to get a salad for starters, but thankfully we thought to ask the server how large their salads are. We appreciated our servers honestly that all of their salads are big with the exception of the melon salad, and he graciously offered to split whatever salad we ordered on two plates for us each to enjoy. We ordered the Insalata Bellini (Baby arugula, candied walnuts, provolone, and honey crisp apple in pomegranate vinaigrette dressing). It was so delicious. The salad was huge even split between two plates. For dinner, we both ordered the Vitello alla Parmigiana (veal parmesan) which was served over a bed of linguine. Our meals were excellent, and we loved the sauce. If I could give one criticism, I don't think there was enough sauce on the plate. When we asked for one box to take home our leftovers, we asked if we could have more sauce, and the server kindly gave us a couple ramekins of sauce on the side. For dessert, I had the Profiterole (Homemade cream puff filled with a Chantilly cream covered with melted Swiss chocolate), and my husband had the Crème Brûlée (creamy custard covered with caramelized sugar). Our desserts were delicious of course. I wished my profiterole was a little larger for the price. My husbands Crème Brûlée was a nice portion. Upon leaving, the host and servers were very kind and wished us a goodnight. I would give Bellini 4.5/5 stars, and I would definitely return!

I'll be honest. I haven't actually eaten here. I went tonight for Restaurant Week. When I got there, I was promptly seated at a table right up against another table. I asked if I could be moved to a table I saw available that was a bit further from other customers and they moved me. For this, they got three stars. However, as I looked around, I noticed that not one server, host, or bartender was wearing a mask. I looked up the Philadelphia mask mandate and saw that all restaurants not requiring proof of vaccination of all employees and indoor diners are required to have everyone masked if not seated at a table to eat or drink. I explained my discomfort of the situation to the host and chose to leave and go elsewhere. I chose not to support a business that was blatantly disregarding the city's mask mandate, when the pandemic and the new Delta variant is killing approximately 2000 Americans a day. I'm posting this because I feel that customers should be informed of the environment they could entering into. Had I been unable to get vaccinated for some reason or had an underlying condition that put me at more risk, I would want to know this so that I could dine elsewhere.

Sigh. I don't think I've ever paid so much for such an awful meal. Went out with my better half and his mother. Restaurant is lovely, but I couldn't help but notice fruit flies flying about. Fruit flies when we're at the corner table? The furthest table from the kitchen? Moving on. My mother in law ordered a whiskey sour. It's a really simple drink, my friend. In fact, it might be the PB & J of drinks - impossible to mess up. Unless you're Bellini? Did they really put soda water or club soda into that drink? It was so foul she pushed it away. I tried it, wrinkled my nose like Samantha Stevens, and sent it back. That's the first time I've ever sent back a whiskey sour. I'm in my mid 50s. The bruschetta was fine. The halibut special was cooked beautifully with a nice portion. But there was no seasoning. None. At. All. It was barely edible. It tasted like cardboard. The pea sauce underneath splattered with beet juice tasted like baby food. My husband's branzino was fine. Not bad. Not good. Just kinda there. Same with my seafood pasta. They never brought the spinach we ordered and paid for. The gelato was good. The sorbet was fine - though the lemon tasted like straight lemon juice mixed with crused ice. The cheesecake was inedible. The water/bread gentleman was fantastic. The water was so-so. The atmosphere is lovely. I will never eat there again. $220 for 1 appetizer, 1 drink, 3 dinners, 1 spinach we never got and a bottle of sparkling water. The two stars are for the service and atmosphere. If you're used to really fine food as I am - Morimoto's, Ocean Prime, etc, you'll agree the food we ate merited a zero.

A few coworkers and I went to this beautiful restaurant to celebrate a couple birthdays. The ceiling is gorgeous and the atmosphere was giving a very classic Italian restaurant. The service was top notch, gave us great recommendations for apps and drinks, and most importantly always had bread at the table! The mushroom risotto was rich and the tiramisu was standard. Overall great spot for a date or celebration dinner.

I absolutely adore Bellini. We had a reservation on Saturday night to eat here and were immediately welcomed by the staff. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the specials and gave us lots of time to decide on drinks and food. I had the lobster linguine and it was decadent and cooked to perfection. My friend had the lasagna and she said it was delicious and it comes in a very hearty portion! We both got cocktails, the gin don and Bellini blossom and they were expertly made. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and the chocolate mousse and both were to die for! Definitely recommend eating here.

The food was really good as well as the drinks. I got two martinis, one of them being the pumpkin spice espresso martini, and they were amazing. The restaurant was a bit outdated and small, it was also really hot inside we were all sweating. You need to get the gnocchi ricotta appetizer - we got two and it was FANTASTIC

Tried Bellini for the first time for dinner last night and enjoyed the experience. The workers were friendly and courteous and food was great. I shared three entrees and a dessert with a friend and we also had leftovers to take home. Loved the Agnolotti con Melanzane. The pasta was doughy but still slightly al dente. And the chicken absolutely melted in my mouth it was so soft and well cooked. On the pricier side but will be back!

Some friends and I visited here for Center City Sips last week, the drinks and dishes were yummy. It's a very small bar, it is a restaurant that had space leftover for a small bar, enough to fit 6 bar height chairs. The drinks were excellent, so was the food but food portions were small and overpriced. Our bar tender was very attentive, great service. I have been here for dinner 2x, the food was always excellent. A bonus for this place is that they validate parking if u park in the lit down the street.

I came here with a friend on a Saturday and it was fairly quiet when we sat down at 7:30pm, which was surprising. The service was good, but not perfect (had to ask for more water, etc.) and the food (and espresso martini) was very tasty - I especially enjoyed the Bruschetta appetizer. Overall, I had a good experience and would be happy to return some day.

Accommodating and friendly staff, who are knowledgeable about food allergies; beautiful atmosphere, good selection of honest, tasty and authentic food, happy family including little kids with wheat intolerance.
