Where to start? This place is dismal. In a land of amazing restaurants in downtown Madison, I am amazed Bellini can stay in business. I've been there twice in the last two months for work dinners and had terrible service and disgusting food. Our large group was one of three tables in the restaurant on a Tuesday night. We ordered a few appetizers. The calamari was rubbery and cold. The bruschetta was slimy and odd. The garlic bread with cheese wasn't bad! It took nearly two hours for our entrees to arrive. When they arrived, most were cold and a few were served the wrong dishes. I'd rank the entrees as slightly below Olive Garden quality. Our food was served by the bartender, which was really strange.
Our waitresses were never to be seen. We were never checked on and weren't offered refills on our drinks. They frankly lost out on a lot of money on drinks by neglecting our table. I had to go to the bar to ask for another glass of water.
Icing on the cake: A few of us at the table got sick from the food the next day.
Do yourself a favor and go to any restaurant but this one! There are SO many amazing restaurants in the area.
