Beletti Restaurant Cafe Bar ~ Italian Restaurant Dandenong — Restaurant in Melbourne

Fast service, friendly staff. I would return to get the steak sandwich was delicious 10/10, the chips were 8/10 no real seasoning or sauce provided with take-away, the chips were not crispy yet still mildly enjoyable 👍

Now i also bought a pasta “castarecce matriciana” the flavours were a mess in the pasta, to much going on with the dish as really didn’t really make sense flavour wise thus it gets a 3/10, I would suggest avoiding the pasta at all cost.

The cappuccino, was fairly mid tier taste wise lacking strength on the bland side, did not hate it nor did I love it 6.5/10, I would not go out of way to get a coffee from this place as it’s nothing to write home about.

I also bought a pie to go, cooked it up the next day the pie gets a 5/10, as it was swimming in a liquid gravy that being said it was not a very thick gravy as it’s on the runny side, the meat tasted stewed and had very little flavour with out the gravy. I would not order the pie from beletti given it was lacking overall & was not that enjoyable to eat from start to finish.

Overall rating: 4.5/10, not to hung up on the price, but there is lot to be be improved upon. If I was eating in, and I ordered the pasta I would honestly ask for a refund, if it was the only dish I ordered. I can’t speak on the other pastas or items I did not try, I hope this review...

Attended due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews. The positives: warm and welcoming service. Everyone was very polite and attentive towards us. the dirty plates were speedily cleared with zero fuss. food arrived relatively quickly. the garlic bread was delicious (albeit a small size if you want to share). the chicken parma meal was of a decent size, the salad looked fresh, chips were good.

The negatives: ordered the veg napolitana. $25, included pasta, napolitana sauce, some bocconcini cheese & basil. It was delicious BUT I've never seen such a small serving of pasta!! Maybe the menu should update it as a kids-size meal & halve the price? There was barely anything on the plate 🙈. We came for dinner, not for a snack. What exactly is one paying $25 for? The carbonara was also $25, similarly small size. We were still hungry after those meals.

Ordered the waffles for desert. They looked and tasted exactly as the packed waffles that you'd find at Coles- with the sugar crystals inside of them. I thought that the waffles were freshly cooked on premises. Doubt that now.

The New York Cheesecake was dry.

Great impression from the entrée, the mains tasted good, but the serving sizes need to match the price. Finished desert only due to still...

Ordered the 'chefs signature dish' along with a cappuccino through Uber Eats... I was initially just impressed on how they packed the food as I saw with the meal being just under $50 ($48) they cared that it would get to the customer safely...

On tasting the pasta, I noticed no flavour at all, it was very very bland and it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought, maybe it's just the pasta and the rest will taste good. So I went on with the meal, tasting first the prawns which were cooked perfectly, with flavour - second the crab which was well cooked, but again, no flavour at all.

They put a bunch of shells (mussels, clams) on my plate, but that's all it was, shells (with 1 or 2 shells with seafood inside).

It felt like I had been ripped off, and I have. If I were in this restaurant eating this meal, I would definitely ask for a refund. I wanted to try this place out because of the reviews, but where was the quality in my food? This is the kind of food you'd get from a business closing down with no coordination and communication.

Definitely not what I was expecting when first seeing the star rating and reviews of this place. First and last time ordering from here. I could've ordered a Quarter Pounder from Mcdonalds with...
