   This was our first time back since Covid and we REALLY appreciated that all staff were double masked. And the food continues to be excellent.

   Reliably good service and food. A little disappointed they didn't acknowledge our anniversary despite having let them know in advance and at table.

   Loved our server. She was helpful, friendly, attentive. Noisy sitting outside (our choice, depends on traffic). Food was seasonal, creative and delicious. Duck pate was silky smooth and lightly, richly satisfying. Flavors were delicately, expertly balanced, incuding that dusting of cocoa. The fantastic stand out was the ethereal stuffed squash blossoms on a bed of frisee with some bits of vegetable and a champagne dressing. Exceptional. And the best Romanesco sauce I have ever had, perfect with fingerling potatoes. And, yes, great pastas and mains.

   Make reservations in advance, especially if you want outdoor seating (the indoor seating is a little closer than I would have liked. Do not be in a rush. Lovely food to linger and chat over.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Bellanico's Restaurant on July 7, 2022. We decided to eat out side and sat at a table next to Park Blvd. It was very noisy at times when cars accelerated. That is our only complaint - one that the restaurant does not have control over.

    This was one of my favorite restaurants but I am sorry to say that has not been the case the last few times we have been there. I know how hard it is to make everything work and I know everyone can have an off night. This is why I always go back before I stop going to a place. The last time we were there was on a Sunday. The four of us had a 5 pm reservation and were literally the first guests to arrive but the hostess still wanted to seat us in the back, near the restrooms. Same as the time before that. We were told the front tables were reserved but one was empty when we left at 6:30 pm and the other was chosen by a party that arrived later than we did. The malfatti were delicious and so was the risotto. I loved their roasted chicken the first time I had it. This time, and the time before that, it was not very good. My chicken was very salty, the other guest's was fine, but both were more brined than cooked. It was not roasted, just made crispy on one side and the rest was completely pale and unappetizing. I really hope they solve whatever the problem is and turn things around.

    It was surprisingly mostly bad. The service was very slow and inattentive. The appetizers (trout and burrata) were both good. But then the pasta was overcooked; one of the pasta dishes was the complete wrong dish (we ordered the pasta with the mushroom, and instead were served beet ravioli—and it took so long for the server to come over that it was too late to replace it). The broccolini was horribly overcooked—practically inedible. If this were my first visit I would never return. When we told the server everything was OK, he said I’m glad to hear it’s great! But that was consistent with his inattentiveness. But my prior experiences have been so good I hope this is not a sign of a downturn in food and service.

    Friendly greeting right when you walk in the door! Our server Julian was awesome. Attentive and did not let our drinks go dry. Such a different experience from the last time we brunched here. We came back because the food is AMAZING! Will be back sooner now since it was such a great experience this time!!

    As usual, food and wine were excellent! Staff is exceptionally nice. Parking is sometimes difficult to find in this neighborhood but dining here is worth the effort. Wood tables and chairs on hardwood floors make for a noisy place but it’s fun.

    You do the restaurant a disfavor when you insist that a customer not only evaluate all of the factors but then must also write a review, or unless a patron writes a review, the restaurant seems to forfeit a favorable rating.

    The restaurant was awesome. The food was great and the service was too. The only down side was the cramped feeling of the close tables. On a less busy day this would be the perfect date spot.

    Great neighborhood gem! We had the prix fixe which was 4 courses for $46 and the wine paring (3 wines) for $18. The prix fixe had a choice of two items for each course, my husband and I ordered each so we tasted 8 plates. All were delicious and appropriate size portions. Wine pairings were spot on and also a good portion. Staff was attentive. All around a great dining experience

    We were given a $200 gift certificate and decided to use it on Valentines Day. We went with the fixed menu and the wine paring which was $100 a person. After our first course and wine we were delivered our second course and waited at least 10 min for our wine. We waited and our food was getting cold. Finally I was able to get our waiters attention and told him our wine hadn't arrived and he accused us of lying, saying haven't you already had two classes of wine. I was so taken aback and shocked. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant ever. After him asking us 3 times and 10 more min he finally brought our glass of wine. We mentioned this to another server that asked us how our meal was and she apologized and mentioned he was new. Nothing was done to compensate us even though she said she would do something. I left a hefty tip, wish I hadn't now.

    An excellent neighborhood restaurant. Went for Sunday brunch most recently. Less crowded than for dinner, so quieter. All the brunch items were very rich, would have appreciated a less rich item or two. The staff is friendly and helpful.
