Bellino’s hosted a family birthday party for us and they did a beautiful job. They were very communicative during the whole process, the food was great, they did a great job managing so many food orders, I just can’t say enough good things about them. I would highly recommend them for a smaller function, not to mention they have the best pizza in Wakefield!

I understood they were under new management, and as the food was pedestrian prior to this, we thought we'd give it a try. Sadly, it failed. The fusilli in vodka sauce was like paste, not a sauce. Taste was faint. The lemon white wine sauce, for the Bellino was mostly water. It needed some time in the skillet to add some substance. The overall sense was throwing food out and getting us out. Not to return.

The fussil à la vodka had a sauce that was more like paste. It arrived with a clump of pasta that was red. The Veal Bellinoin a white wine and lemon sauce was more like a soup. It needed to spend more time in the skillet to give it some body . The overall sense was to get us in and get us out. I know it's under new ownership, and was hoping for something better than the pedestrian food it had before, sadly worse.

I have driven by this restaurant for over 10 years and never gave it a try that is until a couple of friends asked us to join them for dinner. We had a reservation and were seated right on time. The atmosphere was fine not super formal and not too casual. The tables were spacious and the noise level was good. The menu offerings are more than ample with a good mix of seafood, pasta and other American cuisine. The service was very good and we never wanted for anything all night. We ordered calamari and a Mediterranean salad for appetizers. The salad fed 4 and the calamari was crispy and tasty. For entrees I ordered the Salmon over vegetable risotto. The meal was tasty but the salmon was a bit overcooked. My wife ordered Frutti Di Mare fra diavolo. The dish was tasty and had plenty of fish. Overall the experience graded out to a solid 4 and we will go back.

Great food, very efficient service! From ordering to table was impressive. Perfect amount of time between courses and check in from our waiter. Definitely not a romantic setting, but if you like the noisy family atmosphere, this is the place.

They abuse their employees, don’t give them your money. Wendy (the manager) caused me a panic attack almost everyday. I couldn’t sleep at night just thinking about going back to work. She would personally insult me beyond the work environment, and caused me such anxiety that I couldn’t seem to do anything right at a point. She genuinely had me convinced that I was an idiot, but now I’ve been working at another restaurant for a year where I’m the best server there. Not only this, but a couple of the other servers (the older ones) not only basically hazed me when I started, but bullied me for most of my time there. This restaurant honestly needs to be shut down or completely taken over by Alexis.
Had a really negative experience working here under the new ownership due to Wendy. Breaks weren’t allowed, there was extreme nepotism, and some of the treatment was borderline harassment. I really hope improvements can be made because I think she may drive out business and employees; however, when any of us tried to openly communicate concerns to her she shut us down by saying, “if you don’t like it, then leave,” so I guess she wouldn’t really care if all of the OG employees left. In fact, we think she’s trying to push us out to make room for her friends and family. I hope that Alexis and his wife Yuli can overcome the obstacles Wendy and her father Sam (another owner) instill. It’s just really sad to see the heart of the restaurant deteriorate. - Bobby’s Old Employee

Food is great, service is excellent. Their staff is great. Bellinos Trattoria is our go to place for gathering with our family or friends. It's small so it can get a little noisy, but we enjoy the atmosphere.

3 stars is probably generous. Sunday night..... Pros - ambience and decor were great. The caramel bread pudding dessert with fresh fruit was excellent Cons - chicken saltimbocca was oversalted and flavorless. A touch of lemon or white wine would have made a world of difference. The cheese that smothered the entire dish and was overpowering and rather lousy (coming from a cheese lover). Bartender was undertrained and sluggish to check in. I am in no rush to return. The place has potential but it needs some major changes

Food was excellent. Our table had a food mixup, but they still honored it and sent us home with the food free of charge. Dessert was also offered on the house. Could not expect better food and service! 200% recommendation!
