Rob is a wonderful waiter. He is careful about every detail. The Cesar Salad would not have been complete without the anchovies he recommended and it was delicious. The warm fresh bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was an unexpected treat.

We had crab cakes, squid ink pasta with crab, and duck ragu on fettuccine. All very good.

This spot is the bomb. Two hard working brothers run the business and they have a great staff. The service is excellent and the ambience is old school Italian that is warm and comforting. The bread they give you is made in-house, fresh and crispy. They give you olive oil and fig balsamic vinegar that you can use to dip the bread (I finished the whole basket doing just that). The calamari were juiciest I have had in a pretty long time. I ordered the special which was ribeye mushroom ravioli covered in a creamy sauce which was delicious. My gf got the lobster linguine which was phenomenal. It took me every ounce of discipline to not just steal her plate. The pasta was perfect, the white wine blush sauce was great, and the homemade pesto was the game changer. The portion was generous and there was plenty of lobster in it. Again, all fresh in-house made pasta. Last, but not least, they make phenomenal ricotta cannoli. They have a talented pastry chef who makes the best ricotta I have yet tried, so I always get very excited to order the cannoli here. All in all, this place is fire. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Had an early reservation for a Saturday night before the ballet & we were finished with plenty of time before the show. We were sat in the cozy little window seat which was very romantic & lovely.

We happened across this gem and can not rave enough about the food. The brother owners were both there on a Tuesday night ready to please. They made us a off -the-menu eggplant app which was phenomenal. Everything was scrumptious! Definitely try the duck. Not the usual “Italian” entree but, it’s OFF THE CHARTS! Sorry we were too full for dessert. BTW, most tender calamari and great Caesar!!!

My husband and I had a dinner at Bellini for the second time. It’s the best food in the area. We had the escargot (and other dishes) and it was surprisingly good mostly because the house tomato sauce that comes in the dish. Food and service is amazing. I can’t wait to go back

We went here for 2022 Fall Restaurant week with a group of friends to try the aesthetics Italian food. As a not-big-fan of Italian food person, my experience at this place was quiet pleasant since I really loved their “Risotto” with seafood!! Their “Arugula Salad” was also refreshing and the beef dish (forgot the name) was pretty good (juicy & tender). However, the service was not that pleasant as their food. They guy was asking for what we want to drink before ordering the food, and we were sober, so we didn’t order any alcohol. Then, the servant was giving us some wired look at us (I guess he wasn’t happy about not ordering drinks so he won’t get more tips at the end).

Best Italian I have had in the city! Prices were fair, especially for homemade in house dishes. The server was attentive and did not even get down to half a glass before I had more water or alcohol. Highly recommend

Mediocre and overpriced. Came for Center City restaurant week and was very disappointed. $50 (with tax and tip) for 3 small plates that didn’t taste good – and I suspect they are cheap versions of what they claimed to be.
