There were a lot of choices on the menu- everyone should be able to find something. The food was excellent- best shrimp & grits that I've ever had. Our server Brad was very helpful with suggestions and did a great job.

Second time in a month! Had to bring more people with me this time! Every single thing we ordered was an experience and cooked perfectly! This place is such a gem!! I can not recommend highly enough for a special evening, birthdays, anniversaries, just a happy day! This place is so special.

Our meal was outstanding ! We had the lasagna and shrimp scampi. Amazing flavor and presentation ! Our server, Scott took care of us and was always available to meet our needs. Bellini's has become our go to restaurant for date night! What a gem in North Shelby!

Everything was delightful! The night was an experience not just a good meal! From the hello to the goodbye, everything was superb! We can not wait to go back! Everything we ordered was made perfectly and served much quicker than we expected based on how busy the restaurant was. Can not reccomend enough! 10/10
We've been going to Bellini's since 2014 but we hadn't been in a few years. We had forgotten how good it was! The bread and olive oil was good, and both of our entrees were delicious. The white chocolate bread pudding there is our favorite dessert anywhere. We can't wait to go back it won't be so long this time.
The food and ambiance were exquisite! The lasagna was the most delicious I've tasted and the portions were generous. We were amazed by the rich depth of balanced flavors in each course.
This is one of Birmingham's Best hidden spot to be on your first date or date night out because they offer "Outstanding" service, food, and drinks. Can't forget the warm, romantic, and cozy atmosphere? and their white chocolate bread pudding. Would recommend giving it a try and judge for yourself. Latonya Smith
10/10 Food was fantastic. Tyler, our server was friendly, attentive and offered great suggestions. Best Alfredo sauce I think I've ever had. White chocolate bread pudding is the stuff dreams are made of!

We have enjoyed Bellinis on many occasions. Last night the service was terrible. The waitress was unfamiliar with cheeses. We asked for no hard grated cheeses like parmesan or reggiano on our food. She eliminated the mozzarella on the caprese pasta even though we had indicated mozzarella was OK. On my entrée of the chicken artichoke pasta, there was no indication the dish came with a white sauce. We sent it back to for it to be served with red sauce. The waitress seemed perturbed. She essentially hustled through the rest of our meal. The entire experience was unpleasant.

My girlfriend and I have been here twice now and each time the food and service has been absolutely outstanding! Best Italian food around in my opinion. Staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be going back and we recommend to anyone looking for great food and service!
Excellent dinner and service. Bellini's is always a pleasure. My wife selected the lemon ricotta linguine which was fantastic (I tried it, trust me). I selected a special which was roasted quail over polenta with a veal demi glaze. It was delicious but I wished there was more of it (quail should have been a clue but it was soooo good). Drink wise, my wife had the Italian margarita (which was a tall drink). I enjoyed the black walnut manhattan. If you enjoy rye whiskey it's a winner!
What a cute restaurant! Was visiting from out of state and needed a good spot to take our local client to lunch. This was perfect for the 7 of us. They sat us behind a curtained off section which really cut back on noise. The staff was very warm and attentive and the food was great!i

My 5 star review is for the restaurant only. My husband and I had a cocktail at the bar before we sat at our table. The short, blonde, female bartender did not smile at us and seemed irritated. She also was more interested in a video on her phone that was sitting on the bar, than taking and making our order of 2 margarita's. Our reservation was was 5:00 so the bar and restaurant was pretty empty :(

Came in early and John took great care of us. He helped with recommendations. Food was fantastic and service was amazing. All staff went out of their way to be friendly to everyone they encountered.
One of the most romantic restaurants that I've ever been to. The service was excellent. The food was even better and the ambience definitely Renaissance. I would recommend this Italian restaurant to anybody on a first date second date or it is absolutely amazing.
