Went to Cubao Expo just to explore the area and visit a couple of shops selling vinyl records, got hungry, saw Bellini’s, and decided to try it. I say, it was a good ddecision! Though we only ordered three items (pesto, creamy pasta with salmon, and an all-meat pizza — sorry, I can’t remember the names), each one was a winner. I even dare say that menu item per menu item, this restaurant is better than Italianni’s, and less pricey even. Italianni’s, though definitely a good Italian restaurant, is a restaurant chain, so there is a subtle feeling of “corporate-ness”. Bellini’s, on the other hand, is probably a family-ran restaurant, so you can feel and taste the Italian-ness in their food, as well as a sense of intimacy and personal touch towards their food, the atmosphere, and their service. The the service was stellar. When we dined in (late lunch) there were four tables occupied (including ours) and only one wait staff. But we barely waited to be served. The food also arrived promptly (about a 10-minute wait). Finally, the parking: Cubao Expo has about 15-20 diagonal parking slots, which were all occupied when we arrived. But the time we left at around 5pm, the foot traffic was even busier. So I bet it’s usually difficult to find a parking slot here. Your best bet is to park at Ali Mall, which is a 3-minute walk to Cubao Expo.

Well, I would say the food is great. But, I find it too expensive. Presentation wise it's just so so. The only that I loved which I think is worth the price is the chocolate cake. As for the location, it's good that they have a parking lot and the ambiance of the restaurant. Hmmm... Yeah I would say it's exquisite and one of a kind. But it's good if you're one of the few people who'll be there early in order for you to have a chance to snap a photo of it. Which for our case, we are really early. The staff I would say not that too attentive and we're having a bit of difficulty calling them out if we need their service. Would be best if they have 1 or 2 staff checking out their customers, especially if you're sitting at the rear end. You don't wanna end up just like us going back and forth to their counter desk. If I feel like I just want to have a relaxing meal, maybe this place is good but only during this pandemic I guess, as there's only a few people going out to dine. But if it's during the old times, maybe not really, because I feel like the place can be crowded looking at its seating arrangement. And it's too enclosed, so when people started to chat especially for those who talks really loud I guess it might be echoing inside it.

Definitely a must-try when you’re in the area! This Italian restaurant has been around before 00s. Over the years, the restaurant claimed its spot in the pop culture scene. Several celebrities have visited it already, and the chairs they sat on have labels of their names. There are also unique decorations that add appeal to the place. Look up and appreciate the painting on the ceiling, as if you’re inside the Sistine Chapel. The crew was pleasant and accommodating. The food was superb—especially the pasta and the cakes! It’s the kind of grub you’d like to take hone with you. I think it’s ideal hangout place for friends, families, and those going on dates ☺️ I think it’s safe to say that Bellini’s is so far my most favorite restaurant in Quezon City. Coming back is not a question!

We came for dinner to try out their gnocchi pasta. We order mixed green salad which didn’t look presentable but the taste was delicious 😋 We also ordered their gnocchi pastas in white and red sauce. We liked the white pasta. But the texture of the gnocchi didn’t pass our tastebuds, and our cravings weren’t satisfied. 🙁 We also got the meat platter which consisted of pork, poultry, beef and fish. It was just okay for us; nothing really special about the dish. We also ordered two pizza flavors and they were good except that we think the crust wasn’t handmade but premade (the ones you buy at the groceries) 😕 Overall, the food was just so-so (basing from the dishes we ordered). However the service was superb and the ambiance is also nice.

Great place to dine - quality and experience has not changed much, plus social distancing protocol and usual temperature taking and tracking before entering. Wins: Risotto with osso buco had great texture and classic flavors, Tartufo con prosciutto pasta and the warm, comforting broccoli soup. Service is A+, with Mr Bellini himself checking on you halfway through the meal. Never Minds: the focaccia was so disappointing compared to previous versions. I used to want to dine at Bellini's just for the bread. It has obviously suffered in quality. Also the slice of Obama cake was just too sweet, though a micro morsel would work with a cup of brewed coffee.

Since the restaurant we had planned to eat at, Habanero, was closed when my husband and I arrived, we made the decision to eat at this establishment instead. And if you ask me, picking this restaurant was absolutely the best choice we could have made for our meal! Everything that we purchased has been wonderful! While I enjoyed the pizza much more than the steak, my husband enjoyed the steak. The proprietor of the restaurant takes a very hands-on approach, as evidenced by the fact that he visits each table to inquire about the well-being of the clients. It was a truly memorable experience to dine at this traditional Italian restaurant.
