As warmer days and balmy nights descend upon Oklahoma City, patios are more and more attractive as a place to enjoy a cocktail, nibble a light meal or just be around friends.
With its lush greenery, fragrant flowers, views of the water feature and shade all around, not to mention excellent Italian-American cuisine, it’s easy to close your eyes at Bellini's Ristorante & Grill, 6305 Waterford Blvd Suite 100, and imagine yourself dining away from the worries of the spring. In fact, the patio is tucked outside the back of this long-time Oklahoma City restaurant, making it a perfect quick escape for a lovely lunch or romantic dinner under the twinkling white lights.
Bellini's upscale casual menu and extensive wine list never disappoint, and the brunch menu is particularly good with such offerings as a Mexican Breakfast Lasange with layers of corn tortillas, black beans and eggs, or the crab Eggs Benedict, which speaks for itself under the lemon-yellow Hollandaise sauce.
Bellini's patio is now open, so take advantage of the warming weather to enjoy casual dining, creative cocktails and good conversation.
