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.

Review 8 (2022-09-19 - Rating: 5)
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.

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!

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!

Review 12 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 4)
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.

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!

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!

Review 21 (2023-05-31 - Rating: 5)
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.

Review 22 (2023-09-01 - Rating: 4)
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.

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)

Review 31 (2021-06-20 - Rating: 5)
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.

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.

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.

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.

Review 41 (2019-09-07 - Rating: 5)
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!

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!!!

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.

Review 62 (2017-12-09 - Rating: 4)
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.

Review 63 (2019-04-29 - Rating: 5)
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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

The most amazing plate of pasta Ive ever had. The service was top notch and the staff were awesome in every aspect. This just made our first trip to The Big Apple even better, and if we ever come back, this will certainly be a stop when we are around the Central Park area. Thank you so much❤️
