Went there for a bidness lunch today, second time I've gone at lunch (haven't gone at dinner). Average cost per person among 9 peeps was $13.59 - no appetizer, a couple of additional costs for soup, everyone had tea/soda.

Shockingly low lunch crowd made for a great vibe. Server is an Italian American with a pretty thick accent, but I don't get much of a kick out of that like some peeps.

Bread is absolutely addictive! I ate 3 pieces, contemplated a 4th. Iced tea hits the spot; has enough of a berry twist that sugar wasn't necessary while not being overly sweet.

Ordered chicken parmesan. Quite tasty, especially the tomato sauce. Served over a bed of angel-hair pasta, mixed well with veggies. Had no qualms whatsoever - portions were smaller than I'm used to seeing, but that's for the best (especially w/ all the bread).

Salad and entrees arrived timely, drink was never less than half full, and bread was basically endless until you hold your hand up in defeat. Will definitely head back. Whatever you cats who work in the area do at lunch, do it one less time and try this place out very soon.

My husband and I went to Bellini's recently. I really wanted to like it, especially since it's so close to our house.

It started off well. The service was attentive and friendly. The bread was hot out the oven and was covered in herb butter with lots of real minced garlic. They give you a plate of oil with herbs to dip the bread in. It was very hard to stop eating it. The salads were very cold and fresh.

He ordered the Lasagna. I ordered a shrimp & mushroom stuffed puff pastry appetizer and had it as an entree.

His Lasagna was very unusual. It was white, with no tomato sauce on it. It was very flat, maybe three short layers, and took up the entire plate. The filling was mostly ricotta with a small amount of meat mixed in with it. Around the lasagna was a small amount of cream-based roasted tomato sauce that was very salty and didn't have a lot of tomato flavor.

My appetizer came with three large shrimp on top of a pastry puff filled with fresh spinach and mushrooms with cream sauce. The filling was way to salty for me, as was the tomato sauce served around it. It was the same sauce served with my husband's lasagna.

For dessert, my husband had the chocolate covered cannolli. It was good, but didn't have the freshness that I would have expected.

We may try it again in the future - maybe it was an off night or we just didn't order the right entrees.
