| - The most striking thing about this establishment is the decor, established in an old church, Bellini's has a small main dining area and bar in an old chapel, stained glass, gargoyles (painted) and high-backed chairs (with wheels!).
has a pretty decent selection of classic Italian food, classic dishes that, if I try to pronounce them, would probably get me a yelling from Giada or Batali. We got the Fritto appetizers, Mozzarella and Calamari. The mozzarella was good though it had a very quick half-life (eat it while it's still hot) but the calamari was passable. There were pretty large clumps of it and the breading was just a bit soggy.
Entrees were better, we shared an order of the veal and a pizza. The veal was tender, the sauce was good, the prosciutto was salty and balanced out the rich, creamy mashed potatoes. The deep dish pizza was rich, thick and doughy.
The tiramisu was for dessert and boy was it good! Light and fluffy, sweet and flavorful, finishing off the meal on a high note. Overall, pretty good, I'd give it another shot.
