Bellini — Restaurant in Kristiansand

Bellini offers sour dough naploitan pizzas with a fantastic dough, crust and amazing toppings 👏🙀😮

Restaurant: some seating outside. Inside it's a bit bad acoustics, so it's a bit noisy, but it feels authentic Italian. It's open kitchen where you can see the wonderful chefs making amazing food. Notice the clothes that someone hung up!

Service: Friendly, helpful and funny waiters and waitresses. Even when we were a big group and they were super busy.

Food: Pizza: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Naploitan or long Roman's. Price around 200 NOK. Amazing taste of the sour dough and nice crust. I want to know their secret!!

Lasagna: 1 of 5 stars on the pizza scale... but it was good enough. Served a bit cold and seemed a bit "old". Made of oksehaleragu (oxtail ragu), which is different :)

Pasta: 5 of 5 stars. Home made. Fresh. We had one with mussels and truffle which was truly amazing. Order some bread with it.

Burger: 5 of 5 stars.. thick. Tasty. Juicy. Served with crispy thick fries perfectly cooked.

🍝 spagbol for kids: super!

It was my third visit, and this time the entire family and some friends. A party of 10 pax. We all want to visit again. Maybe...

Food was just okay. The waitress didn't know anything about the free activitie booklet that come with the children's menu, even though it clearly states on the menu, nevertheless we didn't get one. The toilets are the most disgusting toilets I've seen while visiting Kristiansand. Omg!! Both toilets floors were wet, and I don't mean from just being washed. Toilet paper all over the floors in both toilets. I had to wash it before I allowed my 6 year old use them. Our waitress walked around like she would rather be anywhere else than at work. Not a smile or a friendly greeting. It was a very disappointing visit. It got great reviews online, and the restaurant looks grand as you walk in. However, the food was bland, and staff miserable. Wasn't even busy it was Sunday 5pm. And it's not the most reasonable priced restaurant...

So I went here for some gluten free pizza. I asked them and you just need to ask for gluten free bases. When the pizza arrived the smell of the pizza was SOO good. It tasted absolutely delicious. The cheese was soft and cheesy, the crust and base were crunchy and had a warm taste. Then the waiters were so kind and friendly and ready to help. The seating choices were nice and the atmosphere was great. There was also a seperate kids menu with lots of delicious pizzas and pastas. There were no concerns or anything that was bad. It felt like I was in Italy, the flowers, chandeliers. Without a single doubt will definitely come back here when in Kristiansand. Best pizza in Kristiansand. Well done Bellini!

Also it is located in front of McDonalds in Kristiansand(which is in Norway)...
