We were in the area after a long walk in Central Park, and Bellini hit the spot.It wasn’t super busy and service was quick, which was nice.The food was tasty and definitely above average for an Italian restaurant. My pesto spinach ravioli was flavorful and not too heavy.Overall, solid restaurant.
We had a special on the menu so not sure what it was. But it was great. Had calamari as an appetizer. They brought us some bread. It was good portions and the food was good. The service was great and we went at like 4 o’clock so it wasn’t super busy but I think it’s deceiving there’s a lot more space in the back.overall we enjoyed it.
Absolutely loved eating here! Pasta was made from scratch and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was just what was needed. Gabrielle and her husband (very good looking couple) exhibited outstanding customer service. Highly recommend this restaurant
Great food! I loved Rigatoni a la Norma, and my friend loved the Prosciutto Ravioli.
The food is outstanding. I had a Duck special, I can’t remember the exact name but it was amazing. It takes a lot to catch me off guard, but this food made me feel like I was back in Italy. The service was great, the waitresses were very attentive. A table nearby spilled their wine, the staff quickly changed out the table cloth & gave them another glass of wine. Pricing was decent for the amount of food you get. 10/10 recommend, would definitely come back here again!
Bellini is a perfect choice for those looking to enjoy delicious Italian cuisine near Lincoln Center, whether you’re heading to a performance or just looking for a great meal in a cozy, intimate setting.
Stopped by with our daughters. Food was delicious with unique tastes. We had the Spaghetti with Meatballs and butternut squash Ravioli- both were perfect.
Had the fried calamari as appetizer. It was delicious. I ordered the linguine Vongole, my wife ordered penne with vodka sauce and my daughter ordered the margarita pizza with parsley and olive oil. They were all delicious. My only complaint was that the portion for my linguine was a little small for me. In the end it didnt matter, my daughter only ate half her pizza and my wife ate two third of her penne. I ate the rest. We topped it off with coffee and tiramisu for dessert. I left the restaurant stuffed and very satisfied.
Started good with the beet salad... got real average from there. Margarita pizza was essentially a cheese pizza (see photo). The other dish... underwhelming so I forgot the name was average. There are so many other options for restaurants I am a bit disappointed we picked this one. I will post the price when the bill comes. I do my reviews on the spot so I can be honest with my assessment.
I had an amazing experience at Bellini. The ravioli pesto was perfectly cooked with a rich, flavourful sauce, and the spicy vodka with shrimp had just the right amount of heat. Both dishes were outstanding, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be back!
Loved, loved, loved the food, ambiance, service and selection! We all loved our food!!!! Highly recommend!
Dont go! I had really high hopes for this place. The reviews were good. When we arrived, our table was nott set up after the previous guests. The waitress sat us down anyway. We didnt think much of it and figured they would bring napkins and utensils soon. I proceeded to order a glass of prosecco, which arrived spilling from the glass and wetting the table cloth.Again, we are not a couple that complaints, and we continued our conversation. When the food finally arrived, we had to ask for utensils, napkins and black pepper. Our table was still bare about 20 minutes after we sat. I began eating and as my boyfriend took his first bite, he found a hair in his plate. We immediately requested the waitress and my boyfriend showed her the hair trapped within the sauced pasta. We were very disappointed at the lack of respect abd consideration. We were not offered an apology, noone came from management to speak to us. The waitress offered something else from the menu. I couldnt continue eating either. The one dish was removed from the bill, however, the poor service, lack of consideration, unprepared table, and my barely touched plate warranted for a no bill resolution. As the educated people at we are, we didnt fuss. We paid what was presented and left. Will not ever be coming back!
Sigh… a measure of a restaurant can be seen in how they handle bad situations. I live in the area and love the local Italian food. I’ve come to notice the difference between a well managed and a poorly managed operation.Tonight, our neighbor spilled wine all over me and my wife, ruining a nice coat. The server brought our food out at the same time. We had to let the food sit on the table getting cold while we tried to get the wine out before the stain set. Meanwhile, steak is overcooked (ordered medium rare, served well done). Send the steak back and it is then brought back out and is now just raw. Very frustrating. We just asked for our check so we could leave. I went to speak with the manager because the whole Saturday night and meal was generally unpleasant due to these experiences. I asked her to comp our drinks (a glass of wine and a bottle of pellegrino). This 25 year old “manager” then proceeds to negotiate with me that she can only comp one of the drinks. Just poor management and customer service. I left unhappy and won’t come back. It’s not worth it when there’s 10 other excellent restaurants right next door.
Beware— Many of the 5 star reviews are from bots. Got food poisoning.
AMAZING food! We chose Bellini on a last-minute whim and Im so glad we did. If you want authentic Italian in a wonderful setting at a price that wont have your head spinning, choose Bellini. We ate in their street section (which I now love about NYC, by the way) and it was perfect. Service...just as outstanding as the food!
The shrimp Sicilian pesto spaghetti was nice. The shrimp on their own was just a tad salty, but of course when eaten with the homemade spaghetti, they were delicious. The bread was also good. 4 ⭐ overall for food.Slightly disappointed with the 15 minutes wait past the expected pickup time accepted during the online order. When I came by at the pickup time, they asked to see the order confirmation, as if they were not aware of it. So, I suspected then it took them 15 minutes to prepare it. This was exactly 9pm on a Saturday, and there was only one table with maybe 6 guests, and the restaurant was otherwise empty, so the 15 minutes wait was disappointing. 3 ⭐Nevertheless I give 4 ⭐ overall because I was satisfied with the food.
Cozy little Italian restaurant. we came here for happy hour. we ordered fried calamari and beets salad . good quality food and ambient environment
Beautiful atmosphere, good bang for your buck
Delicious Italian food. Pastas are house made and are fantastic. Truly you cannot go wrong with their pasta dishes.Service was great.
Cute and cozy little restaurant! Waiter was so attentive and sweet.
Our first lunch in NY was in Bellini restaurant and it was amazing! We had their homemade pasta which is a real treat. I had pasta with chicken and rosemary, and husband had some pasta with duck, dont remember the names, but everything was sooo tasty. Big recommendations for this nice restaurant and regards to the very polite waiter from Greece!
The gnocchi with gorzonzola was delightfully chewy. However the Bellini pizza was rather boring, especially for the price. Luigis resraurant in Union turnpike is much much better
Perfect Antidote to HecticAfter a day in the noise and chaos of the Met, we needed a late lunch or early dinner. Bellinis offered a wonderful cheese plate, two excellent pasta dishes, and a great dessert. Perfect for us.
Food was very good, but pizza wasn’t Italian. More like American Italian. Still good tho. Tasty pasta. Service was great, very attentive. Perfect outdoor space.
Bellini’s was amazing! My wife and I had an early dinner, and it didn’t disappoint. I had a pizza and my wife had carbonara. We also ordered a couple bottles of wine and a charcuterie board. The restaurant was very clean and had great ambiance. I’d definitely recommend eating here if you get a chance, you’ll be glad you did!
Great food. Inside-out meatballs is creative and cheese inside is good. The wild-mushrooms sauce on ravioli have rich flavors and meat inside make this dish not greasy. Bread in beginning is soft and have great wheat scents. Service and music taste also good.
Very hard to get any attention in clearing the table, bringing cheese, etc. or generally attending to our needs in a well-paced manner. Too bad, because the food is excellent. We must just have been sitting at the wrong table.
Great service by Angel he was funny and easy going, $10 unlimited mimosas are fantastic, food was delicious. Outdoor seating and no wait time..a perfect brunch!
Amazing place! I love it! The food is incredibly good 😌
Stopped by here after a visit to the nearby Natural History Museum. Food was good quality and the server was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant wasn’t very busy so we got our food and drinks fairly promptly.
Amazing food and great music!
Hidden Gem! Very tasty food and drinks. Eduardo makes the vibe feel truly Italian.
We were cold and tired and stopped at Bellini with our three-year-old. The atmosphere was warm, the service was attentive, and the food was perfect. We shared the crispy Brussels sprouts, inside out meatballs, a Margherita pizza, and ravioli prosciutto alla boscaiolo. My wife had a glass of sangria. Each dish was delicious, as was the sangria. This meal was a highlight of our time in the city.
We chose this restaurant last minute and we were not disappointed! It was so good we came back and had our Thanksgiving dinner there. We had some family coming last minute and they were able to accommodate us all. All the plates were absolutely delicious. Douglas was our server both times as he was beyond amazing. Highly recommended place!
Lovely italian restaurant in the upper west. We had spaghetti. Home made, and the sauce was delicious.The wine menu is limited but with good selection.The service was impeccable 👌 and I loved the music (mix of Italian and Sinatra classics)
The service and ambiance is absolutely amazing. Very friendly and polite staff. We ordered a few platters to get a variety. We ordered the Red Sangria. It was sweet so I’d suggest something different if you don’t like sweet drinks. We have been waiting thus far about 20 minutes for our food. And it was absolutely delicious. I will be back soon. And if you’re in the neighborhood you should experience Bellini also.
We visited Bellini many times since COVID after we moved to this area. Their food are delicious! They said their noodles were all made in the house. Their spinach salad were great. Though they don’t have kids menu, we saw many families dined there. We usually order the $17 pizza and/or add a chicken Alfredo pasta for the kids to share. Their chicken dishes were great! Definitely will recommend to friends and family and go back again!Update: lately, the foods that we ordered there were not very good, so I think we probably won’t go there again
Great family run restaurant. The fresh bread, pizza and pasta are fantastic! Definitely recommend this spot.
I went there and ordered the ortolana pizza, I asked the person to put onions instead of the eggplant because I had aleargy, after waiting for 30 minutes I receive a pizza with carrots on it and then I asked to replace it and I was in super hurry I took a parcel of the replacement pizza with onion, but they spoiled that too, it had too much salt , black pepper and it ruined my taste. I was really upset by the pizza. I dont think this place is worth it. other than that ambience and atmosphere was good.
A bit expensive, but the gnocchi was really good and so was the Ceasar salad. Great service.
I went to this place on Friday night. there was no server, no waiter, only a very rude old man came out and asked me very angrily like he had no idea why I was here. Excuse me? I went to a restaurant. If you were closed just tell me, you didn’t have to be that rude. You know what, never mind! there are many good restaurants in this area. I don’t have to go to a restaurant where customers are treated like this.
Wait time was zero food is delicious waiters are extremely nice and welcoming and the place is elegant and private and also has niceoutdoor seatingFrom a friend who loves baguette 🥖D’un français qui adore les baguettes 🥖
Bellini is a great place to come for a date night dinner. Its a beautiful restaurant that has amazing pasta and pizzas. We ordered their Linguini Vongole - this Pasta was so tasty, you get fresh baby clams, and a nice amount of garlic, and the white wine wasnt too overpowering, and nicely garnished with parsley and olive oil! it was perfect. As for their Cavateli Carbonara, it was super cheesy in a good way. Very filling but worth it. Now for their Pizzas, we ordered the Margherita Pizza and Prosciutto Pizza to go. The pizza was refresh with a thin crust and had nice char to it.
Food here is amazing, and not too expensive.
Visited during December, when outdoor seating was the only option. The staff was very friendly, checked in with us frequently, made great recommendations. The food was tasty and the price was also good for the portions. I intend on returning as often as I am around the area.
Celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary at the Bellini restaurant on the upper west side NYC. The host/waiter greeted us warmly.We arrived early (around 6pm) so we had the entire place to ourselves. The ambiance was romantic with Sinatra belting out old favorites in the background.The service was good but the food was absolutely fantastic. My wife had the chicken parmesan, I had the lamb. Both dishes were superb. One of reasons why I didn’t give five stars was the lack of dinner “specials.” The other was failing to recognize our anniversary. We weren’t expecting free food however it was mentioned when the reservation was made, and mentioned at least twice more to the waiter during dinner. I’m glad I brought my wife’s gift with me and gave it to her after we ate our meal.I still recommend this restaurant due to its excellent food and ambiance.
This place is a little quite spot with such a nice atmosphere and the food is so good from the apps to main course perfect little date night spot
Cozy and intimate restaurant serving fresh and flavorful Italian food. One star off because I did not like that my sangria had no fresh fruits.
We had dinner at this restaurant on a recent Saturday night. We ordered brussels sprouts for an appetizer, and they were out of the world! (And I am not fond of brussels sprouts.) The lamb chops were really rack of lamb, and they were excellent. The wine was outstanding although it could have been poured more generously. Overall the food was outstanding but a bit rich for us. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was very attractive with (electric) candles burning on bricks ledges sticking out of the brick wall. Very nice music was playing, which was conducive to quiet conversation. Overall, a very nice experience.
So happy that we discovered Bellini tonight. The people working there could not have been kinder or more gracious, and the food was great. We ordered the funghi bruschette to start- this was more for my husband as I am generally not a big mushroom fan but I ended up liking these! I ordered the Gorgonzola gnocchi as my main and it was SO yummy...full of flavor and not too heavy! My husband got the rigatoni a la Norma which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered a side of grilled veggies and rosemary potatoes. Overall it was a lovely experience with tasty food and delightful hosts. We will be back for sure!
Food was amazing, reasonably priced & a 10/10 experience. A must stop when visiting the museum.
We have been eating there whenever we visit NYC. Great food and atmosphere. Recently went there during pandemic. Enjoyed outdoor seating. Hardworking owner. Everything was done to my taste. It felt safe to eat there. Highly recommend it if you are craving Italian.
Fantastic flavors, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting environment. Highly recommend this place.
Tucked away Italian restaurant with basic fare. Carbonara is made with heavy cream so I wouldn’t take the place very seriously however it was generally satisfactory.
A very nice place and de Best pasta in New York if you want to eat pasta this is your place.thanks Chris 🤗
Aside from the mediocre food ( hardly Italian) and the shards of glass all over the table which my 8 yr old and 22 year old cleaned up (we did inform staff ) and even in the end when my 22 year old had one of the shards embedded in his finger-bleeding ; staff did nothing but look confused and briefly apologetic .. Celeste wins the best italian in the neighborhood award ... I say this begrudgingly as the owner of Celeste is always so incredibly pompous but he can behave as he likes because his food is exceptional. Bellini : certainly not Italian food unless are used to really bad Italian food: Franchised or from Costco. Ill send you the city MD bill for removing that tiny piece of glass from my childs finger and will never go back to you again. Shame.
Great food, lovely cosy atmosphere and Eduardo is the absolute best. A wonderful, friendly, attentive host. Bellini is a new neighborhood favorite of ours for all these reasons.
Very small, but very good. Make reservations. The staff is very accommodating and helped us choose the best dishes on the menu. We were even served an extra glass of wine when our bottle was finished :) the penne arrabbiata was amazing. I hate spicy so I asked for it to be mild and it was served perfectly. The chocolate dessert was out of this world. Ill be back!
Had dinner here with my girlfriend on a Friday night. Quiet and nicely lit. The service was great, and the food was amazing. The baby octopus was perfectly cooked and tasty. The Bolognes pasta dish was excellent, and the clam pasta dish (Vongole) was perfect. Their chocolate cake topped with cappuccino gelato was an excellent way to end our meal.I don’t leave reviews often, but I had to for this one. Would highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back!!!
Have a great experience every time! The crispy brussels sprouts are my favorite, and the fresh pasta is always good.
Good place, the service was great and they prepare all very fast.I recommend it!
Amazing service. Patio setup outside was really elegant. The Shrimp Sicilian Pesto is 10/10!! Cant wait to visit the city again
The food was really delicious and staff was attending. The desserts is where it’s really at! It would be nice if they have some olive oil with the bread.
Fantastic brunch. Eggs Benedict was wonderful as was the shakshuka. Great service (big shout out to Angel) and unlimited mimosas for only $10. Dont overlook this place. Looking forward to coming back for dinner
Herb Roasted Chicken – simple yet sublime, a true comfort food.
We went on Christmas Day and food and service was exceptional. I had the linguini vongole and husband had the organic salmon. So fresh and cooked to perfection. Cozy place with fantastic music In the background. Wonderful experience!!
Amazing food, very high quality and delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly waitstaff.High recommended as appetizers: calamari, clams and risotto balls.Great salmon and brussel sprouts.Try the Nutella pizza and tiramisu for dessert.We loved it!
After having had a hard time resisting what appeared to be some amazing dishes that people were enjoying at the outdoor tables, we decided to change course and give Bellini a try. Rather than sit outside, we opted for the cozy interior, and was not let down. The tomato sauce was just what we were hoping for, fresh, chunky and delicious. The two dishes that we ordered, a grilled chicken with spaghetti and the shrimp parmigiana with linguine were cooked to perfection. The pizzas on some of the other tables looked to be just as appealing and are crying out to be tried next time.
Bellinis used to be one of my favorite go-to lunch places until new management took over and raised prices simultaneously with culling the menu. Until then, their pastas were always reliable -- their gnocchi w/ pesto among the best Ive ever had -- and service was exemplary. It didnt take long, however, for the place to close down. Apparently they are up and running again -- another new management? -- and Ill eagerly give them another try based upon previous happy times there.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I have no complaints about Bellini, Im a regular customer and they have consistently made my experience amazing and their food is delicious. Pizza taste just like it is in Italy. Highly recommend to everyone. Cant beat their service and food anywhere in the Upper West Side
Genius! Incredibly tasty food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff.
Summary: Happy with the food, service was a bit slow. Worth going.Came here on a Friday night with my fiancé. Seated right away with no reservation. Relatively quiet atmosphere.For appatizer we had the croquettes, which were very good. For main course, I had the Bellini pizza. I was very happy with this, although there is a lot of great pizza in this area so Im not ready to call it the best. My fiancé had the salmon pasta dish (salmon con capelli DAngelo), which was great. We skipped on wine and desert so no comments there.Scoring this 4 stars just because the service was somewhat slow. The waiters were really friendly, however.
Was a Monday had the Bolognaise. Was fresh pasta and loads of beef and veal. Completely amazing. GF had the squash ravioli, tried one. Was sweeter than I expected but also amazing. Tiramisu for dessert was top shelf. Get the Tiramisu.Service was excellent. Waiter and manager(?) were right there to help my gf choose a wine, and were very friendly throughout our meal.Definitely would come back.
The staffs enthusiasm is infectious, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.
We went there to have lunch. As I was reviewing the menu my fiance went in to use the restroom and they rudely told him he could not. We left and found another lunch spot. When we wrote a negative review they LIED and said he was not wearing a mask (he was) and that we were not customers! Its one thing to be unprofessional and rude, but to be dishonest in order to try to save your Google ratings?!?!?! You should be ashamed Bellini. We were fully masked and ready to place a lunch order. You wont stay in Business for long if you continue to be rude and dishonest. Time to step up your game and review your business practices.
We enjoyed our dinner until the waiter argued with me insisting I had 3 glasses of wine when I only had 2. After fixing the bill he came back to argue more telling me I was wrong because he knows he entered it correctly into the system. Very rude and ruined our lovely dinner.
Friendly service. Great wine selection. And good food in a comfortable atmosphere.
Second year in a row we spent Mother’s Day at Bellini. What a great cozy place. We came from Long Island and this is by far the best restaurant in the uws. The homemade pastas, the lamb chops, the homemade desserts. Out of this world. What a great night. You nailed it Bellini. My family thanks you for your awesome hospitality.
I would never go online and can a place but my experience here was so off-putting, I felt I must comment.Ate there Saturday mid-afternoon. Place empty aside from 2 other tables as were there off hours. Pizza was great and a starter avocado fennel on toast was fantastic. (Thats the saving grace giving it one star)However, the burger was vile and service related to it was worse. It took them 3 tries to get it cooked to order. Ordered medium well and it came out medium rare at most.Kids tasted it and did not like it but I told them perhaps itd be better once cooked as requested.When it was finally done properly, kids took bite and could not take a second. Meat very coarsely ground and unappetizing. And we had completed the rest of the meal save for the burger which, considering we were in an almost empty restaurant, took a long time to get cooked properly.I told the waiter I wanted it taken off the bill as we were done eating by the time they cooked it to the desired doneness. And that my kids (who have eaten burgers for years and have never run into one they did not like) could not eat it. And I asked for ketchup hoping theyd slather it on and just eat it anyway . They had no ketchup. How can you have a burger and fries on a menu and not offer ketchup as a condiment?He argued with me that it had originally come to the table medium well which was not true.The bill came and burger was still on it. I asked for it to be removed.He spoke with the manager.Bill comes back with 10% off for the burger. Unbelievable! They would not remove it from the bill.I told them fine then I want my burger back if I am going to pay for 90%of it. He said I tod him I did not want it do they no longer had it.I would have given it to someone on the street or fed it to my omnivorous pet had I known I was still going to be paying for at least 90% of the entree.What really got me fuming was that when my change came back, they short-changed me by a dollar. Accident or not, it was an affront after a terrible burger and worse customer service.So they cant cook a burger right? Ok but dont charge me for something that was completely unacceptable. Giving me wrong change was icing on the cake.
Wonderful experience, and best carbonara pasta Ive ever had. The owner waited our table and it was refreshing to see a restaurant owner so passionate about the food provided. Highly recommend.
It was our second time and once again: a lovely time at Bellini! Great food and drink, and wonderful service!! We will definitely be back!
Delicious food, great service, and a very welcoming environment.
We took over the place for a wedding rehearsal dinner. It was phenomenal! The food just kept coming in nearly infinite variety, all good.
Had a wonderful brunch sat out front in sunshine here. The service was great (thanks Angel!) and the food was delicious... They have also started doing 10 bottomless mimosas...
The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family.
The best Italian cuisine in the upper west side! Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of the best tasting food I’ve ever had.
Tuscan Chicken – a mouthwatering blend of herbs and spices that delight the senses.
Excellent food. The pasta was delicious and the bread was so good. My wife had their salad and surely will be back.Staff is really welcoming.
My 2 children and I stumbled upon this gem and the food was absolutely delish. My 7yo tends to be picky…as you can see he enjoyed is chicken parm. The chicken Marsala and spaghetti and meatballs was also amazing dishes! Oh my those mozzarella balls will be on our taste buds for days to come!
The staff here exudes warmth and professionalism, making you feel like a valued guest.
We loved our evening here! The environment was cozy, food was delicious, and staff was absolutely lovely. Will be back!
We came from New Jersey after a friend recommended us Bellini. Amazing food, great friendly service and reasonable prices made our experience a very enjoyable one. When in New York, you must take in the Bellini experience
The Service was good, the ambiance was calm n cozy, the food was fresh and cook to perfection. Baby clams are my favorite.
Attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere make dining here a pleasure.
The restaurant had great ambiance, customer service and food ! Went in on a whim and it was such a good experience ! If youre ever in that part of the the city make sure to stop in and eat!!!
Amazing place. One of my favs in the entire city. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere…. Superb!
A diverse menu offering mouthwatering options, complemented by impeccable service.
I visited NYC a couple of weeks ago for a weekend to see some friends. One evening as I was wandering around Central Park, I stumbled upon Bellini. I had dinner there by myself while my friends were at work, and boy did I make the right choice. The Tagliatelle con Ragu was delicious. Of all the Italian restaurants in NYC, Im glad I managed to find my way to this one.
The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, yet still maintains an air of sophistication.
Excellent place. Excellent food. Excellent attention. Excellent Chef. Douglas is an outstanding attendant with very good suggestions. Outstanding quality. I really recommend this restaurant.
My wife, mother and I were in the area and they wanted to go to a different restaurant across the street. This place caught my eye and I walked over to see the menu. The menu looked great and a gentleman came outside to ask if I wanted to taste anything. He was very nice and not pushy at all. He explained that they make their pasta from scratch each morning. He asked questions about my appetite and my tastes and recommended three dishes. My wife and mother came over and we sat down. We ordered the Bruscette Funghi; bruschetta with goat cheese, mushrooms and caramelized onions. It was the best bruschetta I’ve ever had. I ordered the Toscana salad; cubed cucumber and plum tomatoes with onion oregano and olive oil. A bit different but it was delicious! I went with the gnocchi for my meal and it was unlike any gnocchi I’ve had. It literally melts in your mouth. Highly recommended and underrated restaurant!
Food was amazing and the atmosphere was also excellent!
I enjoyed eating here, the food was pretty good. Service was also good. Their prices arent really high. Decent dinner here.
I came here for a late night cappuccino, and the atmosphere was amazing. Plus probably the best cappuccino Ive ever had! Very friendly staff.
Always a pleasure dining here, highly recommend.
The flavors were exquisite, and the service was quick.
Great place! Food is absolutely amazing! No AC that’s the only thing that I didn’t like, other then that great place to have dinner!
What a delicious lunch after a visit to Museum of Natural History. Great service and atmosphere! Highly recommend!
My husband and I had a lovey dinner at Bellini. We had never been here before but have walked passed many times and always say, “we need to try this place.” First impressions, friendly hostess and nice subtle music playing. The menu has something for everyone, vegetarian, fish, pastas, meats, appetizers and entrees. It was tough deciding what to order, as everything sounded tasty. My husband had the CAVATELI CARBONARA with pancetta. It was melt in your mouth delicious. I selected one their “favorite plates” - PENNE ALLA VODKA. The sauce was so creamy and tasted amazing. Very fresh pasta. I added grilled shrimp, which were done perfectly. Our waiter was personable, friendly, attentive and funny. We really enjoyed our evening at Bellini. We will certainly be back!As for that bizarre one star review below with false information, patrons were allowed to use the restroom and the staff was pleasant in directing where to find it.
The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for any occasion.
Very good Italian food. Good service
This place was a very pleasant surprise. Octopus was delicious and so was the organic chicken -- moist and tasty! Bravo!
The food here is amazing, they make their pasta here, it’s delicious! Armando is a great server, went beyond any of our expectations!
The food was fresh and incredibly tasty.
Lamb chops + specialtyReally great
The food is really delicious. And the staff attitude is perfect. Highly recommended I’ll Definitely coming back!🙏
People that like pizza here have no tastebuds. You cant tell me the bread, the sauce or the cheese are anymore exceptional than what you can get from the frozen section at your local grocer. Service is meh. No follow up by the staff. If youre expecting Italian service, keep walking.
Perfect spot for a romantic dinner, wonderful food.
The Branzino is cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful.
The name is beautiful..the ambience is chill & the food is AMAZING! Our waiter (Douglas) was excellent.
Excellent menu choices and attentive staff.
Amazing food, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. By far the best Italian restaurant in Manhattan.
Overpriced for quality. Pastas listed as homemade and even asked if they were. They are not. Disappointed.
Great pizzas and pastas! It used to be BYOB which was the best part. Unfortunately it no longer is. Still good food though.
Awesome food, nice quiet place and great service ! Neighborhood go to place never disappoints
The food was great and priced ok for NEW YORK CITY
Food was delicious!! Highly recommend
We had the burrata and a cabonara, delicious food great service and price!!!
Stumbled upon this place while we walked around town. Absolutely phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend. It definitely made our night coming here!
Incredible atmosphere paired with excellent food, wine, and service. Take a step back in time and enjoy a taste of Italy at Bellini’s.
Great ambience, service and food. We had the cavateli and the ortolana pizza. One of my new favorites restaurants on the UWS
Excellent brunch. Good quality. Service friendly. Value for money
Loved every bite, and the service was fantastic.
The restaurant itself is small and cozy, but the food is ALWAYS AMAZING and so is the SERVICE.
Very tentive and amazing staff, food was delicious!
Great meals and friendly service.
Delicious food, and great service! Would recommend for anybody looking for a great date spot, or even a nice solo meal.
Just got kicked out of this empty restaurant because we had two strollers with sleeping kids. Very unfortunate that the restaurant manager did not let us in and asked us to leave as we would be gone by the time any guests would show up... Shame. Real shame.
High-quality food and impeccable service.
Great experiance,Can’t appreciate a place like this enough.
We could of had a better waiter, he was simply the worst, not accommodating and gave false information about our food. Thumbs down.
Every bite of the Herb Roasted Chicken is bursting with savory goodness.
From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff makes you feel right at home.
The margarita taste just like juice. The food needs more flavor. Music boring sadly 😥 Tehy need some improvement
The cozy atmosphere is enhanced by soft lighting and tasteful decor.The cozy atmosphere is enhanced by soft lighting and tasteful decor.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bellini and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. The décor was elegant yet understated, and the ambiance was perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two.The food at Bellini was simply outstanding. Each dish was expertly prepared using only the freshest ingredients, and the flavors were truly remarkable. I was particularly impressed by the pork chops we ordered, which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The wine list was extensive and well-curated, offering a great selection of wines that perfectly complemented the food.But what really set Bellini apart was the level of service. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to make sure that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. From recommending dishes to ensuring that our glasses were always full, they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of.Overall, I cannot recommend Bellini highly enough. It is an absolute gem of a restaurant, and I will definitely be returning in the near future. If youre looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere, then Bellini is definitely the place to go!
