To quote my husband “we found a gem of a restaurant!” This review is based on dinner on Thursday night. It was rather warm, most customers were sitting outside and we were the only guests inside able to enjoy Italian and French songs played just to the right level, allowing you to chat while loud enough that you can sing along. It was a lovely atmosphere.
This restaurant came across as family affair with at least three generations involved where everybody speaks Italian and everybody loves good food.
We had pizza, pasta carbonara and sea bass for main, followed by tiramisu, white profiteroles and coffee tartuffo. Everything was absolutely delicious, made in Italian traditional style (pasta was all dente and pizza was thin and simple) with sea bass being the star of the show. The only sides that came with it were olives, capers and cherry tomatoes, but this was the best fish I have had in the UK. Tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. Zucchini turned out to be the right choice for a side dish.
The only slight downside is a lack of parking space. The place is so popular that parking was full and there were not too many options around.
All in all it was an excellent value for money and we well definitely be back to sample some more dishes...
Read moreCame to Bellini for my birthday and I was not disappointed. Like the times I do come here, the food is great, good service. Italy runs through the veins of the staff here you can see it. We had a really nice italian lesson with the waitress who was helping us pronounce our menu selections correctly and that was a lot of fun. We all laughed many times! The table we had was for 7 people and they can accommodate easily for that. The food was great, we ordered a lot of specials so my images my not be relevant the time you go but they do have a great selection. The chefs did burn one of our garlic breads and the owner said to us that he would get us another one free of charge so we had a lot of food to eat! My family had planned a surprise birthday cake and also had a peppermint tea and nice selection of ice cream to go with it too.
I haven't been here a great number of times. My family have as a total and they really enjoy the atmosphere and food, I do as well so I can only recommend it. Friendly staff with an Italian twist to it. It was a...
Read moreI recently dined at Bellini Italian Restaurant, and I can't stop raving about the incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The ambiance was charming, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. Now, let's talk about the food - it was absolutely phenomenal! I indulged in the lobster linguine, and with each bite, I was transported to Italy. The flavors were exquisite, and the freshness of the ingredients truly shone through. My boyfriend opted for the carbonara, which was equally divine. And let's not forget about dessert! The homemade white chocolate profiteroles were a heavenly finale to our meal. Huge compliments to the chef for crafting such delectable dishes. Special thanks to Salvo and Valeria for their impeccable service, making us feel right at home. Bellini Italian Restaurant is a gem, and I can't wait to return for another culinary journey!...
