He brings that passion to every dish with fresh flavors and beautiful presentation.In 2021, Parid and Kristi Spiro took the reins and brought new energy to Bellini, keeping the spirit of the original while taking things to the next level.

What a great experience! The service was quick and friendly with multiple check points throughout the evening. The food came out relatively fast and it was fresh. Overall a great experience! Would love to see a kids menu in the future to cater to the younger clientele.
