Restaurant Reviews for Bellini Grill

Bellini Grill

220 South 16th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19102

To cure an Italian fix, try this "dependable" restaurant around the corner from Kimmel Center; northern & southern authentic Italian, given the affordable tabs, it's an "insurance salesman's palm", with "good", albeit "basic" food & friendly service & "quaint" setting warmed by the presence of an "affable” owner.

Dining Style: Fine Dining
Price: $30 and under
Parking: Public Lot
Cross Street: Between Locust & Walnut

Review 6 for Bellini Grill

Overall Rating

(Good)

"The chocolate mousse was GREAT! The service was bad. Bellini called me 3 times that week asking to switch my reservations because they overbooked. I returned all their phone calls and each time their response was "we've been trying to get in touch with you all week." Clearly they lack communication. My reservation was for 6:45, my party arrived at 6:30 and was seated right away. The gentleman [who is the owner] pointed to his clipboard and my reservation time while saying, "it's about time" implying that I was late. At the end of the meal he came back to our table with his clipboard pointing to the next reservation [8:45] and ushered us out of the restaurant. Open table doesn't allow enough space to explain how incredibly rude the owner is."

"I was extremely impressed with Bellini Grille!! They were running a little behind so while we waited for our table, they opened our bottle of wine (and offered to give us more if we ran out) and brought over an appetizer. The food was great and very reasonable. I can't wait to go back there and I have already started recommending it to friends."

"The Bellini Grill was a last minute find for us. I'm not usually a fan of Italian but was pleasantly surprised by the delicious entrees. The prices weren't the worst I've ever seen but it was far from cheap. The dining room was very crowded, yet despite the crowds almost no noise ever passed from one table to another."

Review 16 for Bellini Grill

Overall Rating

(Poor)

"Very dissatisfied this time around. Out of the party of 4 - 3 of us ordered steaks. The steaks were not prepared to our specifications (well done). They were sent back. All but 3 were satisfactory. The other still was not prepared correctly. That guest ended up ordering something else off the menu. It came time to pay the bill. We were in the process of finalizing the money and the Maitre'D comes over - very rudely and says, "Ladies, it's been 3 hrs...we need this table...you will need to leave." We were floored. Not to mention the table immediately behind me heard him and commented on his rudeness and also could not believe what just happened. Never again will I patronize this establishment nor will I refer anyone to eat there."

"Had dinner before the opera, it was close enough to the Kimmel center. Great selections, food very good, service very good as well. Wouldn't call it gourmet, but all done the way I would have expected (and I come from a pure Italian family). Price was right too. Need I say more? Bellini is a great Italian BYOB place to eat."

"As usual we had an excellent meal. We found this restaurant 4 years ago when my daughter started college at Drexel. We have never had a bad meal or experience. The food is always outstanding. Living in Providence we have our share of top Italian restaurants and given the choice I would eat here all the time. We have never made a trip down there without going there."

Overall Rating

"Although the service was IMPECCABLE, my dinner was very disappointing. The others in my party seemed to enjoy their fare but I went with one of the specials (ravioli) and didn't finish it. It was tough and not at all tasty. The bill was WAY beyond what we anticipated (come on, only pricey bottled water offered?), the parking garage would not honor validation, so the evening was an overpriced let-down. We will probably never return."

Overall Rating

"Bellini was a great experience. Our table was ready as soon as we walked in. The waiter explained the menu as it was restaurant week. The food was great, I have been to a few places during restaurant week and feel I did not get the best of the best because they were just trying to get all the food out. At Bellini I did not feel that way, everyone loved their food and it was cooked perfectly. My only complaint was I felt a little rushed as we were a group of girls chatting after dinner and they kept coming up to clear everything they could off the table. There were still other people in there, we were not the last table. But other then that we had an amazing experience.
PS - the cheese cake was amazing!"

"The restaurant was crowded and the food was mediocre at best. Very disappointed. I had been once before and the food was very good. At the time, my friend and I were the only two in the restaurant. Perhaps that explains the diffence in quality. This past visit was with clients and I was embarassed at the recommendation. I won't be returning any time soon."

"Came for restaurant week. Bellini Grill is a nice place if you're looking to have a decent Italian dinner in the city. My girlfriend and the couple we went with agreed that the food was good, but there was nothing that "wowwed" us or stood out. It was a good meal, and a plus that it's a BYOB. There was nothing bad about any of our courses or food (we were a little bit rushed but it was restaurant week as mentioned). Our waiter was outstanding.Also, the maitre'd/owner? was a little bit rude about the way you open and close the two front doors. He was making people wait for the first door to close and looking annoyed the whole time...trying to keep the cold out I guess. But it was very noticeable as we were seated by the door."

"The food was good but the service was terrible. I felt rushed to order and the waitress had an attitude with me because I needed more time. She never introduced herself or looked us in the eye. The whole staff was very unfriendly. Serving sizes are very small, we felt that we did not get our money's worth. This restaurant was a jip for restaurant week, 3 courses for $20 (lunch), you can order a salad, entree, and dessert for less than $20, where was the deal?"

"I LOVE this restaurant. Not great for large groups, but for smaller groups it can be great. Best wine list because you bring your own. Great for an intimate dinner. It is small, so the seating can get cozy at prime time dinner hours. Reserve a spot on weekends and evenings, and reserve them very early on holidays like Valentine's Day. The food is always phenomenal, I love their homemade pasta and sauces. Large portions, good value for your money."

"We went for Restaurant Week & it was verygood. Enjoyed the ambiance & the food. Our server was pretty dull with not asking a single question the whole time, but what she lacked, the host/owner made up for. He was on point & made sure to stop by the table several times throughout our meal. That's the only bad thing about it. I'd definitely go back again."

"This was the second time my husband and I dined at this wonderful restaurant only because we do not frequently visit the city of Philadelphia. The wait staff is friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and the 2 for $35 deal was definitely well worth it. This is without-a-doubt one of my favorite restaurants. Definitely a must try!

"Service was a little off, probably because of restaurant week. However when we arrived for our 5:00 PM reservation, we were the only party there so that should not have played into it. Our waitress wasn't all that friendly, she seemed a little impatient and annoyed. However, other wait staff seemed really nice. Food was good, good size portions. I would give it another try though, it may have been an off night for them."

"We really enjoyed our meal at Bellini! The atmostphere was nicer than it looks from the outside, and of course it's nice that it is BYOB. We went for my boyfriend's 30th birthday during Restaurant Week, and I thought the seafood with homemade pasta with garlic white wine sauce was phenomenal. I told the waiter about my boyfriend's birthday when I first arrived, and he remembered his birthday by the end of the meal, bringing his dessert with a candle in it and "happy birthday" written on the plate in syrup, which was very nice! Also, while we were there, a couple got engaged, and the wait staff was very accomodating, bringing the ring out on a plate, flowers, & a bottle of champagne."

"I went to Bellini Grille during restaurant week and although the service and food was good, it was jam packed. I had to squeeze though tables of people to get to mine, and even had to interrupt people during their meal to ask them to move their chair up so that I could get by. I think that the place was overbooked and slightly uncomfortable. I always go to different restaurants during restaurant week, but have never been in a place so overcrowded."

"I went kinda early 6:00-6:30 so it was pretty quiet. It got a little louder as more people came in. Very old school Italian feel. Someone on here said Frank Sinatra-like and I totally agree. You don't feel like you're in CC. Food was simple but outstanding. High recommend the Bellini Grill!

P.S. My reservation accidentally got canceled when I called to confirm. They were very nice about getting me the same time and the guy stayed on the phone so I could go through OpenTable to get points! So nice!"

"Tried Bellini Grill during Center City Restaurant Week so we had a prix fixe menu but it was delicious! The friendly service started the moment we walked through the door until we walked back out completely satisfied. The food was delicious. We ate way more than we thought we'd be able to, everything was so good.
We cannot wait to go back restaurant week or not - highly recommend the Bellini Grill to everyone."

"We made a reservation for 12 people and we crammed into 5 two-tops against the banquet. Those sitting at the ends had their elbows hanging off the table. When asked to change the table or expand it, we were flat-out told "no". The food was pretty good, but over-priced if we weren't eating there for restaurant week. The food runners auctioned off the food as well, which was confusing and distracting at a 12-top. The desserts were awful. Tasted like they had been frozen for months and were freezer-burned. Probably the first time in my life I didn't eat the entire dessert!"

"Our overall experience at Bellini was not great. It took quite some time after we were sat for anyone to come to our table to speak to us, offer a menu, for us to get water, or a bread basket. The food (our appetizers and meal) were "just OK", I certainly would not recommend the food to anyone. The posted lunch hours on the open table website were incorrect, which led to an issue upon arriving at the restaurant when we wanted the restaurant week lunch menu and were told that it was no longer available. The server did give us the lunch menu eventually and was pleasant during our lunch. The saving grace of the experience was the dessert (the chocolate mousse cake)-it was incredible. I most likely would not reutrn to this restaurant."

"Wait staff was attentive and immediately delivered extra wine glasses. The evening started out great but they forgot the anchovies on one of the appetizers. No big deal. Then they forgot the pasta side for one of the entrees until the dinner was nearly finished. They should have comp'ed the pasta. The whole fish entree was neatly filleted at the table, but then transferred to a cold plate and therefore was only warm. But, it was a great evening, the food was good, the chef made a visit, as well as the maitre d'. I will go back."

"Jimmy makes his own pasta, which is always a treat. The food is superb, every time I have eaten there in the last 8 years - since it opened. The service is first class.

No liquor license, but they will serve a complementary glass of wine, or bring your bottle(s) - no corkage fee.

This is our favorite restaurant. 16th Street, just North of Locust, around the corner from the 16th Street exit from PATCO."

The new waitstaff continues to need some polishing."

"I always enjoy Bellini. The food is almost always perfect. The waiters (and owners) are very friendly and the chef very creative. However, this was an exception. I ventured away from my five favorites and ordered the home made Pappardelle pasta with roasted baby goat meat. The meat and sauce (all flavors) were divine; the pasta was a disaster!! I don't know how the kitchen could possibily have served something so terrible! The noodles were thicker than lasagna noodles - and tough. I had Pappardelle (one of my favorite pastas) the next night at another nearby restaurant and it was just as it should be -- thin, tender, melt-in-your-mouth! Such a disspointment at Bellini. If they cannot get the pasta right-take this dish off the menu!"

"This is the second time I've been to Bellini Grill with a large group. They were very accommodating, and flexible, which is good anytime you have a party of 10 or more. This would also be a good place for couples (I saw several there). The food was reasonably priced and the wait staff was friendly. I was also surprised to several very good specials which were not listed on the menu, however the pasta special that I ordered turned out to be twice as expensive as the list pasta dishes listed (so be sure to ask the price before you order anything not listed!!). Portion sizes were perfect. Not ridiculously huge, but we still didn't have room for dessert!"

"Our experience at Bellini Grill was very positive. The portions are huge and with the BYOB policy, it was very economical. The ambiance was a bit lacking. The lights were bright and the tables are right up against each other in one large room. It's nicely decorated, but just did not feel very cosy or private. The service was great and so was the food. We were very pleased overall."

"I had a meal which consisted of beef tenderloins stuffed with spinach, blue cheese (I believe) and cooked to perfection. It was fantastic and the server was kind enough to provide a single glass of wine, despite the restaurant being BYOB. I would recommend this place EASILY to anyone with a taste for different Italian-style dishes. The variety of the menu is vast and I hope to make it back sometime to enjoy the rest it has to offer. And the proprietor was way too nice and friendly and an elderly frequenting couple was present to suggest, converse, and welcome a newcomer. Thanks Bellini!"
