Wonderful dinner tonight from Fellini's. HIGHLY recommend the squash soup, Ceasar salad, and the meatballs! I ordered for home delivery, which was seamless! Glad for some of the downtown restaurants that do curbside and delivery.

Great food and the people are really nice ?

My mom and I were in a mini vacation, and we love Italian food. Decided to give Fellini's a go. We went around 5:30pm and we were the only ones in there (which was a little concerning). We rang the bell when we arrived and had our temperatures taken before we could enter (this was a first for a restaurant for me). We were sent to the bar to sanitize our hands before being seated. They obviously take a lot of precaution to prevent covid. I loved the atmosphere, all original wood, and gave the vibe of "stuck in time". They had a gentleman playing the piano which also was a nice touch.Our waiter was wonderful and attentive. We were served bread and oil to start with. I got the Caesar salad and bolognese. I'm very picky about bolognese and this was very good! The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because my mom wasn't a huge fan of her spaghetti. The sauce had a strange, herb-y flavor to it. The meal was nothing to write home about.

I just had a steak special at fellinis and it was absolutely delicious. Mic drop. Generally they have the best pasta in town, hands down.

Please consider dining at Fellini's. My family and friends have been several times and felt extremely safe. They take everything very seriously...from entering through the entrance only (there is a separate exit only, too),getting sanitizer applied, to being escorted to your socially distanced table. The tables are set very apart from each other and no bar stools/bar service period. I can't express how wonderful the staff are. Your safety is their number 1 priority. Chef Chris Humphrey is creating new and delicious dishes every day. Please come and support Chris and this amazing restaurant in beautiful downtown Charlottesville. Reservations only for inside dining, delivery and take out available, too. 434-284-7676Masks are required!

One of the best dinners I've had in Charlottesville to date. Home made pasta was delicious, perfect bite to it and the sauce was great too. Also, the sirloin steak was seasoned and grilled perfectly. Service too was fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough. Will be back.

Never disappoints, so happy to finally be able to dine at one of our favorite local restaurants after quarantine. Always fresh and full of flavor. Loved our crab stuffed trout and swordfish. Tiramisu somehow disappeared before getting a picture! Affordable Sangiovese wine was the cherry on top of a wonderful meal!

Not the best food but a decent ambiance. I have now experienced Fellini's twice: one time before the COVID-19 pandemic for drinks and one time during the pandemic for delivery. The bar is a decent place to grab a drink, but I have to say the food is lackluster. We ordered the chicken masala and chicken picatta. The sauces were fairly bland and the chicken was somewhat tough. It was certainly not the worst meal I have had, but I probably will not be ordering from Fellini's again.

A rockin local bar and foodie place. Usually some live music in the bar late night..well after 9pm mostly, so not to interfere with the customers in the dining room, enjoying the cozy atmosphere.
Finally got to try this place during restaurant week! Came with our fav dining friends and we made the most out of this- we got 3 different appetizers and 4 different entrees to all split and share. Highly recommend this strategy. Appetizers: we got the sautéed calamari, mussels, and meatballs. We loved all of them; I was partial to the mussels and meatballs. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of those. Entrees: we got the bolognese, orecchiette, meatloaf, and chicken quarter. The orecchiette was the crowd favorite and the bolognese a close second. Amazing pasta and savory flavorful sauces! For desserts, I ordered the tiramisu (objectively the right answer) and I also tried some of the chocolate mousse with orange. Both were amazing. Tiramisu was executed very well and I have no complaints! Our server was great and there was also live music when we were there! Can't wait to come back here and feast more.

My boyfriend and I waited 10 minutes to be seated and almost 15 minutes at a table being ignored by wait staff. Big caveat: we came for Fat Tuesday at Fellini's; a special event, so this may have been the reason for the poor service. This is the main reason we stayed around (we had a great hunger for jambalaya!) The food on the New Orleans menu was pretty good. The jambalaya was totally overpowered by the shrimp, but still yummy. We really enjoyed the gumbo as well as the live music!

There aren't many good Italian restaurants in this town so I go to Fellinis when I'm craving pasta. I like the ceasar salad and spaghetti. It's a nice and cozy place plus they have a piano player for music entertainment.
