Went here with my gf and another couple, and the food here was fantastic. Prices were also reasonable given the quality of food. The wine list is rather high end as it was difficult to get a bottle for $60. The only down part was that my reservation wasn't made 24 hours in advance for me to use the Dealfind coupon and they were very stickly about it, which soured the evening.
Absolutely incredible Italian food, at first bite you can certainly tell why this place has weathered nearly 29 years. That being said, when my mother recognized the tableware, decorations, and menus to be the same now as it had been when she first ate at Bellini's shortly after it opened sometime in 1984, well, needless to say the interior is in dire need of updating. Overall, molto buona!
Little disappointed, the restaurant needs upgrading. The gnocci was not good, very heavy.
Although the food and cocktails were excellent, the service was disappointing. We found the server to be incredibly rude and condescending, and would not return for that reason.
As 'experienced' - I think this means 'foodies that dine out a lot' Toronto restaurant diners, we were VERY impressed with the service, food and ambience of Bellini's; we chose somewhere that offered us a quieter atmosphere to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and were bowled over by the quality and originality of the flavour combinations and presentation of the dishes we ordered, our server's... more
Customer service is exceptional. They are very courteous and knowledgeable about their menu.
Using one of those Dealfind voucher can be a challenge.... you got to do everything right if not basically they said NO ... can't do.... When booking a reservation make sure you it is 24 hours in advance, tell them you are using your voucher, give them the voucher number and make sure you give the voucher to the waiter before you order. If not, you maybe scolded..... Bellini's Ristorante is in... more
Very pleasantly surprised And our server, Meghan , was an absolute gem.
A lovely evening as always at Bellini's. A very special birthday celebration was had. The food and service was excellent but the restaurant was a bit noiser than usual due to the tiff festival full house.
Booked a lonely table for one on Opentable. Dark dinning room a few steps down from the drag. Older crowd on a Wednesday night at 9 (50-80) with a couple of hipsters filling in the gaps but not dressy as others have mentioned. Smart casual will work nicely and I did see a young couple walk in around 9:30 in flip flops. Cool and candle lit with Frank playing non stop. How cliche'.3 choices for... more
I had a bad experience at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I came here a few weeks ago. We made reservations, however when we got there, our table was not ready. We were seated in a very awkward spot at the back of the restaurant while we waited about 15 minutes to be seated. When we got our table, we literally waited a half hour before someone came to attend to us. My boyfriend actually had... more
One of the best meals I have had in this city. Right from the time we stepped into the restaurant till we left, we were made to feel special. Great service and the food was perfect (i still dream about the fish and the lobster ravioli is plain heaven)The decor could have done with a bit of freshening up but still quite nice. Definitely going back there.
This is another great Yorkville restaurant that isn't pricy, but has great food. The menu isn't extensive, but almost everything we've had has been great (and good restaurants usually don't have extensive menus since that means wasted ingredients).The decor is kind of stale, but since it's not pricy (especially for Yorkville), it's not a deal breaker. The waiter looks like he has been there... more
Great little restaurant in Yorkville. I made last minute reservations and was happy to be greeted warmly when I arrived. Service was prompt and professional. The food was well prepared and, combined with a good price and decent portion size, a great value. The only drawback is the slightly lower than street level location in a neighborhood of outdoor and roof top patios. Still, I'd return given... more
Our Waiter Carlos was AWESOME! Very personable and friendly. Food was outstanding.
I came back after many many years and am delighted by this gem. The waiter was super attentive and very helpful. We ordered a bottle of the lovely house Chianti. We split the tomato and mozerlla salad and they split it for us. We shared the lamb shank, which was out of this world and the spinach gnocchi. It was delicious and I needed to be carried out. No room to try their dessert ... more
Quite formal,excellent service and good quality of food. My only comment would be the variety of dishes available are not as extensive as other Italian restaurants in the area
bellini is definitely one of the best italian restaurants in the city. it is located in the heart of yorkville. this place offers a variety of homemade italian dishes. it is located on the lower level and is a very small and quaint location.
Amazing italian food. One sentence says it all when talking about this restaurant. You have a wide variety of choices on the menu. This restaurant will broaden you horizons with it's varienty.
Bellini's restaurant is a tiny yorkville gem. It's below street level entrance provides a quiet and discreet experience. For a formal occasion or fancy dinner, Bellini's is the place to go. I tried their gniocci and was I ever impressed. Just like mom used to make. Each bite was mouthwatering, with their homemade tomatoe sauce and seasoned black pepper. The dessert was also to die for. A wide... more
Bellini"s Ristorante is consistently rated one of the best restaurants in Toronto year after year. Bellini's is the hidden gem of Yorkville with an ambiance of informal luxury. Though the emphasis is on Northern Italian cuisine their continental selection receives reviews that are just as fabulous. Internationally renowned for its Osso buco and Spaghetti Bolognese Bellini's also creates a... more
The menu is classic Tuscan, and it's where every artsy filmmaker (who can afford it) seems to be these days. Madonna even dropped by to dine in this plush, oxblood-colored subterranean setting. Veering away from the cream sauces of the north, and the tomato sauces of the south, the emphasis is on fresh herbs, garlic and olive oil. In this vein, Bellini's is proud of its Bellini chicken, a... more
