   Everything that we chose off the menu was perfectly cooked, delicious and beautifully presented. The quality of the food was excellent, extremely fresh and flavorful. The staff were very friendly and the service was extremely good ! The atmosphere was lovely, warm, inviting and enjoyable and the noise level was low to moderate. Bellanico Restaurant and Wine Bar is in our neighborhood and we love to eat there and bring our friends who also enjoy the delicious food, the friendly, professional service and comfortable, casual, friendly ambiance.

   As always, the service and food were wonderful. I was fortunate to get to share everything with my business colleague so I got to each twice as many dishes.

   Everything was great(food and service). It’s nice to be greeted and thanked upon leaving by the Chef/Owner. I even had a great parking space

   We were outside so there was some street noise. But the heaters were pleasant and the food good. Wine and dessert were excellent!!! Pasta was fresh.

   Happy Hour menu on the weekends?! YES please! Just the two of us, but couldn't resist over doing it, easy to do here. 3 apps: Brocoli fritters (delicately crisp, the best way to get a veggie in!) the Duck Liver pate (consistently great), and meatballs w/pesto (crisp, light, consistently good!). I'll definitely be trying to reproduce Brocoli. For pasta, the Casoncelli and Malfatti... both just sublime. Both so gently and thoughtfully prepared, you have to slow down and enjoy each bite and sip of wine. I don't see Malfatti outside of Napa much, and this one is excellent, be sure to get some. You'll be sorry if Chris changes things up. Just one secondi to split, the lamb shank... decadant, rich, melt in your mouth tender, with the tiny style cous cous perfectly sopping up the luxurious, dark sauce. Sampler plate for dessert and short espresso ended things... always a great night at Bellanico!

   While the food was very good the whole experience was ruined by terrible service. We sat for 45 minutes with just a glass of water. Only after asking the 3rd person (probably the owner) for at least our glass of wine did we get some service. Meanwhile, the table next to us who had just arrived were served and finished their first course before we got anything.

   Always great. Try any starter. Ask for guidance on their nice wines.
