We started with the Burratta with the melon and prosciutto, crostini and the arancini. Both were excellent. Then we had the chicken rollentini, the coconut chicken, the chicken saltimbuca and the nonnas penne. Everything was tasty. The drinks were good. I had the cantaloupe martini, hmmm nothing cantaloupe about it other then the color! They could have put a sliver on the glass! They had it, because it came with our crostini!

They do have a kids menu & a variety of options on the menu so even the pickiest eater can find something they'll like. The food was great but service was non-existent. Unfortunately, no information from the server about the specials, and sure enough, the thing I settled on was out. Nothing about the bread service or veggie dish that came out first. The order came out at the wrong time, the server never came back to refill drinks (we flagged down someone else who then seemed to take over our table [thankfully]) and overall he was a bit rude. I was extremely disappointed because it was my mother's birthday and it was such a bad experience that it took the fun out of it. A couple years ago we came here and had the same server and had a similar experience. Unfortunately, Marko is a subpar server. The food that we got was great; you will NOT leave hungry. We all ate and have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Definitely try the meatball app, and the veal francese will not disappoint!

Christmas lunch has got to be the best because we usually order 2 or 3 of most of the appetizers, a couple of each of the pasta dishes, a couple of each entree and then we end our meal with coffee and dessert. Bellini's is a beautiful Italian restaurant that was serving a few company lunches as it was just before the holidays. We were seated at the front of the restaurant at table for set for 14, surrounded by windows on all sides. We started with the hot Antipasto Caldo, from the dinner menu, Calamari, Calamari New York style, and Broccoli Rabe with Sausage. A few of us had garden salads with a super garlicky dressing. We ordered the Penne Amatriciana, Gnocchi Napoletana, Penne Vodka. I only had four of the Penne Vodka and two Gnocchi, but what I had was good. We ordered Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmigiana, and Grilled N.Y. Strip. All of which received many compliments. There were too many desserts to list but I had part of a Tiramisu, which was amazing. My cappuccino was perfect even without the addition of the rock sugar stick that was offered. The staff was attentive and we were never left needing anything. If we requested something one of the servers would be back within minutes.

The service and attention from the staff is the right level between attentive but not hovering. I loved the mix between well known pastas and a few not so well known regional dishes.

The service and the food is authentic Italian, not American Italian, and my wife and I throughly enjoyed it. They have excellent cocktails but the food is the star. I had the braised special of the day which was the short ribs served with rosemary potatoes, green beans and broccoli. It was seasoned to perfection and the meat just fell apart it was so tender. My wife had the best Penne ala Vodka made with a very light and sweet sauce and not the heavy cream base cause you usually get. Plenty of pancetta and some onions in perfect balance. Plenty of shrimp as well. I almost forgot. We had the Burrata as a starter. It was platted like a five star meal and was delicious. Creamy Burrata , prosciutto with cherry tomatoes, arugula and EVOO. It set the expectations high and was delicious. A great portion size that was great to split. They easily accommodated our dietary restrictions. I have gluten issues and my wife is allergic to garlic. We will return soon.

The sugar from the San Marzano tomatoes and the nutty aroma of the prosciutto di parma combined perfectly after baking to create a warm caramel aroma. The fresh, smooth olive oil base creates a rich, syrupy texture. The basil aroma emerged in the aftertaste, adding layers to the rich, creamy cheese. The cornicione was crispy but not dry, and the crust was very chewy. Tartufella: Relatively less impressive. The black truffle aroma wasn't strong; the main flavors were the savory, sweet, and meaty notes of the Italian sausage.
