Bellini Osteria

Amazing place and amazing service.  They offer gluten free and whole wheat pasta which is a plus.  My boyfriend took me here and the service staff was so friendly and helpful.  They have great food and are willing to make you something off the menu if its a realistic request(boyfriend wanted a carbonara and they made him one...it was delicious!). We had the burrata dish(my favourite cheese in the world) for a starter and it was great!  Pair it with the bread that they give you and you cant go wrong. They also have a good wine selection.

First let me say that the setting is lovely.  As a repeat customer, this was the second time we were beyond disappointed with each and every one of our food selections...Overcooked meats, fish that clearly was frozen previously and not prepared well (yuk!), blah salads,  lackluster vegetables that were boiled, not grilled...and stale, uninventive desserts.  Even the bread is mediocre at best. Fresh rolls, breadsticks etc make for a lovely meal.  Haven't all restaurants learned that?

Sad to say, we will not return to Bellini Osteria.  Locally, there are many great continental/Italian restaurants. Instead go to Tuscany,  Rustico, Fins, Daily Grill, Leila's or treat yourself to Maestro's.  Bellini is certainly not worth the money for an ill prepared meal.  That may be why the restaurant is empty.

Can always count on Bellini Osteria for a great family dinner, we have yet to try try a dish here that we did not like, especially the server's recommendations.

The overall experience here is just outstanding. The decor is modern, clean and simple, but the food is full of flavor, authentic and consistent.  

Bellini Osteria continues to be my top choice for a local birthday or special occasion because the service is just top notch.
