The Ragu was insanely delicious portion size HUGE (can't stop won't stop)and meat, cheese and bread plate was on point. Service was also on point. All in all this place is amazing and I shall return!
Belina was delicious and the perfect Friday night dinner spot! I had the beef and sausage ragu and also got to try their pizza and the mushroom pasta dish- all were beautifully presented and delicious! The place was also exquisitely decorated and cozy. I also found the staff to be quite kind- the lady who took our order at counter came to check on us later and thanked us when we left! Can't wait to go back to shop in the market and try more things on the menu! Great job Bellina!
Had the meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. I had the eggplant lasagna and I loved the crunchy topping. The sauce made the dish great too. My girlfriend had the Insalata Mista and didn't like the dressing and too much spinach. Great service.
Looks unassuming and you have to wait in line at the register first in order to see the menu, even before seating so it makes the line long and ordering slow. Our cashier was nice.
I will state that we were given a number and told to what section to seat ourselves because we did not know there was a wine gallery seating option available since it wasn’t offered to us. We only saw the hanging sign around the corner after ordering and then asked about it. One thing to note & PAY ATTENTION TO: a tip is assumed and added automatically if you don’t take your time on the screen when ordering! Why have to tip if you’re not using the wine gallery option, have to seat yourself & no one serves you throughout your meal?
Once we ordered and seated ourselves, the wait wasn’t too incredibly long.
Now….the food….AMAZING!! Fresh bread & homemade pasta! Big enough portions too. Unfortunately they were out of three main dishes so one member of our party didn’t get what they were hoping for, but still very much enjoyed their meal. The cannoli was good and the tiramisu fair. Dine in cups for water are small but that’s expected, however, the glass for sweet tea was small too, lowball sized (but it should be a standard tall glass for the price).
Because of the quality & taste of the food we would definitely return. For that alone I am giving it 5 stars.
Literally the best Italian meal I’ve had in the states thus far. From starts to the desserts. Definitely worth the trip if you’re a resident or just visiting. Everything is made in the restaurant fresh and you can buy a great majority of the items to take home.
We absolutely loved our Amaro tasting with David! There was some miscommunication with the online scheduling but the manager was super kind and apologized and had us seated immediately. David, the bartender, previously owned an Amaro bar in Seattle and was so knowledgeable on the history and intricacies of amari. We didn’t expect to taste such unique amari, which was a pleasant surprise. The focaccia was also delicious and I absolutely loved being able to have an amaro infused cocktail at the end.
We absolutely loved the experience and we’re already planning on doing another one. David also gave us a list of his favorite Amari and a local liquor store nearby to find the best selection (Elemental) to stock our home bar.
We also saw a group doing the pasta making class and it looked intimate and fun! Maybe we’ll do that one next.
This was my first time trying Bellina. The pasta is made fresh and the dishes are really yummy. The only issue I saw was the small portion size. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and it came with only 7 pieces of ravioli. The food was not filling for me, especially not for the price. I was still hungry afterwards. I’ve been to other Italian restaurants where their portions sizes can be enough to where you need to take left overs home. But overall, the food and drink selections are good.
With so many options available in Ponce Market this was by far one of the best decisions for the day. Joseph was truly a delight and ensured that the needs of the table were met. Quality food, stellar service and an overall good experience.
I’m officially full….
DELISH!!!!! Wow!!! So yummy and food came out fresh and quick!! It’s just a bit pricey, but I understand why. I also wish there was bruschetta on the menu, I bet it would be great. The lasagna and burrata were just great, I’d go back anytime my budget allows.
PONCE CITY MARKET Food Adventure Part 1! PCM is a whole beast all on its own for any foodies, so we are slowly making ourselves through all of them. 🍴
Today we checked out the Italian restaurant Bellina. This unique Italian restaurant is versatile, half of the restaurant is self serve and the other half is dine in. We opted for the dine in bc we had questions and wanted to see what the restaurant is all about.
There was problem right from the beginning, the computer system was down but after a small wait we were seated. The server greeted us and began telling us about how most of the ingredients used are house made including most of the pasta. 🍝
We stared off with the Pane E Olive and the Burrata salad. Absolutely MUST GET! The bread was so nice and fluffy and the strawberries with the fresh mozzarella was superb! For entrees we got the Carbonara and Ragú. I personally liked the Carbonara the best, with the small pieces of bacon and not to saucy.
We didn’t get any cocktails or wine due to the fact the it was during Lent that we checked it out but they did have a cocktail menu which we plan to go back and try. 🥂
There is no complimentary parking but there is a parking deck attached to the building. Parking ranges $8 and up depending upon on how much time you plan on staying.
As I’m a big Italian fan, this place did not disappoint.🍕 As the Italians say this place was Deliziozo!
The Georgia Shrimp is my go to when I visit Bellina Alimentari! I love that they use fresh ingredients and their pasta is made in house.
Been eating here since 2017. Love taking my wife here for special occassion since this is were we ate on our first date. Our favorite is the polpo pasta. Still great food and excellent service. Their price has gone up a little but that's understand.
