Since its opening in 1990, Bellini's Ristorante & Grill (BellinisRistoranteGrill.com has become a favorite venue for family gatherings, romantic dinners, birthday and anniversary celebrations, business meetings, and other occasions.
In short, Bellini's has become the go-to place for people who enjoy and appreciate fine dining in a beautiful setting, along with a genuinely hospitable staff.
Shawnna Underwood, general manager, notes that many families and individuals return repeatedly to enjoy their favorite dishes—like their Pesce Capellini, tossed in Pomodoro sauce with spinach, shrimp, scallops, crab and baby clams sautéed in olive oil, garlic and white wine—or one of their signature pizzas.
To help keep things fresh and relevant, however, the restaurant from time to time samples new selections on their lunchtime menu. Those that prove popular often find their way to the main menu, she said.
Recently, two new pastas and two new pizzas were deemed worthy for this honor.
The Burrata A'La Vodka features a traditional vodka sauce tossed with penne and sauteed red onions, topped with toasted burrata and fresh basil. The Shrimp Scampi features sauteed shrimp, peppers, onions and asparagus served atop capellini pasta and finished off with a fresh garlic butter sauce.
The Mob Boss Pizza features the house red sauce, spicy capicola ham, prosciutto, pepperoni, Italian sausage and mozzarella, and is finished with a drizzle of hot honey. The Caprese Pizza features basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, sliced Roma tomatoes and basil and is finished off with a balsamic glaze.
Shawnna shared that Bellini’s also recently added a liquor display that’s prominently situated in the entrance corridor toward the host stand.
“Please stop and take a look and let the bartender know what your favorite top-shelf, bourbon, scotch or tequila is, and we'll happily pour you shot!” Shawnna said.
