The Ragu was insanely delicious portion size HUGE (can't stop won't stop)and meat, cheese and bread plate was on point. Service was also on point. All in all this place is amazing and I shall return!
Belina was delicious and the perfect Friday night dinner spot! I had the beef and sausage ragu and also got to try their pizza and the mushroom pasta dish- all were beautifully presented and delicious! The place was also exquisitely decorated and cozy. I also found the staff to be quite kind- the lady who took our order at counter came to check on us later and thanked us when we left! Can't wait to go back to shop in the market and try more things on the menu! Great job Bellina!
The most amazing experience! Fast and kind service, the most WOW food. Creative and special cocktails... never had something like that before. Their "milk honey" cocktail, ravioli and short ribs lasagna (and other food I can't remember the name) are the best I had. Their home made pasta is just legendary... so you can't get it wrong no matter how you order it! Loved it. Can't wait to come back.
The food is fantastic! Surprised that a small place like this was so awesome. The meatballs, octopus with squid ink pasta and lasagne were amazing! Good cocktails too! Highly recommend!!
My friends and I did the balsamic experience and I have to say it was fantastic. The chef created a fantastic menu every bite was an explosion of flavors in your mouth. No words... Bellina Alimentari is my favorite place.
I went there yesterday for my birthday and had the mozzarella, arugula and sun dried tomato panini. Hands down, it was the best thing I ever ate! I would highly recommend going there! And if you have a chance to get waited on by Oscar, your experience will be even better!
Excellent service and the food was delicious!! I highly recommend the panna cotta for dessert!! Great place.
The dining experience was first class! The staff were fun and attentive! I think this was the first time we have ever experienced true authentic Italian food and each dish was delicious! We will definitely be back for more!
The coolest staff & best Negroni's in Atlanta. I can't wait to make a return visit!
The service was awesome and the food is fresh and spectacular. There were no leftovers for me!
Having lived in Italy for nearly 10 years, I know to expect disappointment when going to an Italian restaurant in the States. Basically, they have created dishes most Italians don't recognize nor enjoy. This place, on the other hand, would get tears of joy from Italian grandparents accustomed to beautiful food. From start to finish, each and every morsel of food that crossed my lips was reminiscent of hours spent at dining tables in Italy...smiling, laughing, eating and drinking. If you enjoy, or are interested in Italian food, not the Americanized garbage most call Italian, don't waste your time experimenting with other Italian restaurants in Atlanta. Get in your car, ride the bus, get on the subway, bike, walk or crawl here now and enjoy the best food in Atlanta.
Loved the authenticity of the food, drinks and atmosphere...feels and tasted like the Italian countryside! Bethany, Josh & Dirk we’re so wonderful!!
Every dish we ordered was perfect (!!) really good wines and cocktails and awesome service.
Had the meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. I had the eggplant lasagna and I loved the crunchy topping. The sauce made the dish great too. My girlfriend had the Insalata Mista and didn't like the dressing and too much spinach. Great service.

Looks unassuming and you have to wait in line at the register first in order to see the menu, even before seating so it makes the line long and ordering slow. Our cashier was nice.
I will state that we were given a number and told to what section to seat ourselves because we did not know there was a wine gallery seating option available since it wasn’t offered to us. We only saw the hanging sign around the corner after ordering and then asked about it. One thing to note & PAY ATTENTION TO: a tip is assumed and added automatically if you don’t take your time on the screen when ordering! Why have to tip if you’re not using the wine gallery option, have to seat yourself & no one serves you throughout your meal?
Once we ordered and seated ourselves, the wait wasn’t too incredibly long.
Now….the food….AMAZING!! Fresh bread & homemade pasta! Big enough portions too. Unfortunately they were out of three main dishes so one member of our party didn’t get what they were hoping for, but still very much enjoyed their meal. The cannoli was good and the tiramisu fair. Dine in cups for water are small but that’s expected, however, the glass for sweet tea was small too, lowball sized (but it should be a standard tall glass for the price).
Because of the quality & taste of the food we would definitely return. For that alone I am giving it 5 stars.
Literally the best Italian meal I’ve had in the states thus far. From starts to the desserts. Definitely worth the trip if you’re a resident or just visiting. Everything is made in the restaurant fresh and you can buy a great majority of the items to take home.
We absolutely loved our Amaro tasting with David! There was some miscommunication with the online scheduling but the manager was super kind and apologized and had us seated immediately. David, the bartender, previously owned an Amaro bar in Seattle and was so knowledgeable on the history and intricacies of amari. We didn’t expect to taste such unique amari, which was a pleasant surprise. The focaccia was also delicious and I absolutely loved being able to have an amaro infused cocktail at the end.
We absolutely loved the experience and we’re already planning on doing another one. David also gave us a list of his favorite Amari and a local liquor store nearby to find the best selection (Elemental) to stock our home bar.
We also saw a group doing the pasta making class and it looked intimate and fun! Maybe we’ll do that one next.
This was my first time trying Bellina. The pasta is made fresh and the dishes are really yummy. The only issue I saw was the small portion size. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and it came with only 7 pieces of ravioli. The food was not filling for me, especially not for the price. I was still hungry afterwards. I’ve been to other Italian restaurants where their portions sizes can be enough to where you need to take left overs home. But overall, the food and drink selections are good.
With so many options available in Ponce Market this was by far one of the best decisions for the day. Joseph was truly a delight and ensured that the needs of the table were met. Quality food, stellar service and an overall good experience.
I’m officially full….
DELISH!!!!! Wow!!! So yummy and food came out fresh and quick!! It’s just a bit pricey, but I understand why. I also wish there was bruschetta on the menu, I bet it would be great. The lasagna and burrata were just great, I’d go back anytime my budget allows.

PONCE CITY MARKET Food Adventure Part 1! PCM is a whole beast all on its own for any foodies, so we are slowly making ourselves through all of them. 🍴
Today we checked out the Italian restaurant Bellina. This unique Italian restaurant is versatile, half of the restaurant is self serve and the other half is dine in. We opted for the dine in bc we had questions and wanted to see what the restaurant is all about.
There was problem right from the beginning, the computer system was down but after a small wait we were seated. The server greeted us and began telling us about how most of the ingredients used are house made including most of the pasta. 🍝
We stared off with the Pane E Olive and the Burrata salad. Absolutely MUST GET! The bread was so nice and fluffy and the strawberries with the fresh mozzarella was superb! For entrees we got the Carbonara and Ragú. I personally liked the Carbonara the best, with the small pieces of bacon and not to saucy.
We didn’t get any cocktails or wine due to the fact the it was during Lent that we checked it out but they did have a cocktail menu which we plan to go back and try. 🥂
There is no complimentary parking but there is a parking deck attached to the building. Parking ranges $8 and up depending upon on how much time you plan on staying.
As I’m a big Italian fan, this place did not disappoint.🍕 As the Italians say this place was Deliziozo!
The Georgia Shrimp is my go to when I visit Bellina Alimentari! I love that they use fresh ingredients and their pasta is made in house.
Been eating here since 2017. Love taking my wife here for special occassion since this is were we ate on our first date. Our favorite is the polpo pasta. Still great food and excellent service. Their price has gone up a little but that's understand.
I went to the pasta making class! It was amazing! Definitely recommend for any type of event (birthdays, date nights, anniversaries). It was intimate and fun. The instructor did a great job and was very hands on! Will definitely do it again. The classes sell out very quickly so I recommend checking often.
I had the seasonal watermelon sangria. It was refreshing and a fair size. It came out a little while before my food so I had time to take a few sips before my lunch.
For lunch I had a side salad and the meatballs. The salad was a decent size. I felt it had ample dressing but the vinaigrette seemed to need seasoning. You can see there's a large slice of radish on top in the picture but I didnt get to taste it. I was excited about so of course I dropped the whole thing on the table.
My main course was the polpette al sugo (meatballs). You only get 4 but those were really good. The bread did have a bit of olive oil on top but worked very well to pick up the remaining sauce after I finished the meatballs. You could taste that they put effort into seasoning both the meatballs and the sauce. I'd definitely go back for those.
Just had a company Christmas party tonight and it was fantastic. The whole crew at Bellina Alimentari were awesome. The food was great. Bartenders were top notch. Service was amazing. If you’re reading this, just go. The ragu with pappardelle pasta was great, and I added a couple meatballs because reasons. So good that I’m pretty sure I’ll be waking up in a few hours and getting some to go when they open.

Keto diets and generalized anti-carb hate has made it ever so difficult to find people who are willing to enjoy pasta with me first thing in the morning. That's the only excuse I can offer for waiting this long to step into this lovely restaurant.
Located at a prime corner of the food hall in Ponce City Market, Bellina Alimentari celebrates pasta in a way no other Atlanta eatery I've seen yet. Tumbles of fresh pastas of all shapes and sizes sit idly behind sneeze guards and greeted my rumbling stomach more amicably than our friendly waitress as soon as we walked in. And If that weren't clue enough for this restaurant's main food push, the menu made it abundantly clear - you must not leave without trying the pasta.
But which one to order? Seeing me caught in a quandary, our server recommended the lasagna, which turned out to be exactly what I needed and more. Layers of pasta, mozzarella, and thinly sliced eggplant were neatly tucked beneath a beautifully browned and crusty layer of parmesan cheese that crackled tantalizingly underneath my knife. It was - without an ounce of hyperbole - one of the best lasagnas I've ever had in a restaurant, and I'll certainly be back for it again.
If the food weren't already so cleverly done, the service alone would have merited repeat visits. One of our servers overheard me offering my friend half of my Caesar salad and thoughtfully offered to mete it into two portions. When another server heard me groaning for bread to drag through my leftover sauce, he cheerfully came by with two enormous hunks of warm, soft bread drizzled with olive oil. It made a wonderful meal even greater, and made me think this would be a great place to bring a date.
(Also to note: it's not mentioned on the menu, but the bartender makes mocktails for anyone demurring from drink)
Food was very good. Lovely spot with great atmosphere. Very nice customer service, super personable.
Food was sublime. Service was great. The atmosphere is very relaxing in the wine bar and it is nice that you can see them making the pasta.
We had the braised short ribs which was mouth watering- excellent choice
Breaded chicken with salad on top and the squid ink pasta.
Everything was just amazing. Definitively a place for an airport layover.
This is the ONLY place I come to for pasta. It is sooo good.
The GA shrimp, polpo, and carbonara are SUPERB! They never fail to make my stomach happy. The service here is always good too.
The panna cotta is a great dessert choice here.
