Some of the best food in town! We found the place in 2011, and go back when we can...I highly recommend it.
Always excited when I get the opportunity to dine in Dallas with Lorenzo. My friend, Chip,
turned 50 & Lorenzo made our night very special despite being "wall to wall" with customers.
Enjoyed terrific music, wonderful food, & wine.
Any bad review of this place - "doesn't have a clue?"
This is the most special Italian restaurant in all of Dallas!
My favorite place! We drive from Wylie to have dinner here. The food, the service and the entertainment are the best!
Excellent service & food. The place was packed all night including the bar. They have a live keyboardist/singer who was very good and not too loud or intrusive. Excellent Dinner.
Love the food here it’s the best in Dallas and the staff is great
One of our favorite places. We had our rehearsal dinner here before our wedding. Food is always amazing and the staff is on point.
Great food, beautiful decor! i Love the chicken piccata...they never disappoint!
The food here is amazing!! Great service! Beautiful live music ! My favorite restaurant of all time! Whenever we are in Dallas for the weekend we eat every single meal here we can! ������

From amazing food to great servers and friendly owner, this is a definite spot you'll want to check out!!!
The food is absolutely amazing! I should also unlike the LITs are also the bestest in town, Lorenzo greets every customer and wants to exceed expectations of each guest the waitress staff is also super sweet. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. ��
Awesome place!! Authentic Italian resturant!! Food was so good!! Waitress was very friendly!! Will definately go back!! Felt like we were in old world Italy!!
I went with great friends and they go there often. They took me there for my Birthday. It was awesome. The nicest place I have ever been too! The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I also want to say "Thanks" for the Birthday gift you brought me, absolutely delicious!
Wow! We lucked up when we stopped here!
Old-school Italian dive with awesome food and great atmosphere. The one-man band was surprisingly good.
Lasagne and shrimp scampi are as tasty as anywhere.
Amazing atmosphere. Great staff,very attentive. AMAZING FOOD! The bruschetta was to die for! Could have been my meal. Go hungry! The bread with olive oil and balsamic dip will change your life!
We always enjoy our meals here—good food and service, and reasonably priced. The outside is very plain and the inside is a little over the top! But unlike most restaurants, the staff is always the same, which we believe, indicates that the restaurant is well managed by the ever present owner.
We love Bellini’s! Love everything we have had including chicken, veal, pasta dishes and the pizza. The home made bread and olive oil is superb. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is well cozy and takes you back in time. Love to take our children and grandchildren here!!!!!
Music is interesting! !!Food is extremely good!The decor is unique!!!!Alina is a sweetheart!(very good server). Me and my friend been there a month ago ,we are from Forth Worth and we have accidentally came across this cute little italian restaurant. I am glad we did,we have really enjoyed it.I highly recommend it!!!!

My favorite eatery in Dallas. I have sampled many of the dishes and found them all to be superb. Lorenzo di Lorenzo, owner, is a gracious host as are all his waitstaff. Live music Tues thru Sat nite definitely adds to the ambience. Very romantic spot to take that special someone.
Very good! Great staff! We had the Chicken Parmesan and it was very good! The musicians we very good entertainers as well. Great location and great service.

I had a great experience here, onlty for one day in Dallas and followed the advice from my host.very friendly staff and , most important, amazing food.Simple and very tastefull. Even the dip (oil and vinigar) was topSo they use top ingredients.
Bellini's is a unique hidden gem. The atmosphere is unique and can feel slightly cheesy. But the people are genuine.
Staff here is always nice and super friendly.
Food options are plenty! I have never had a bad dish here and our groups have always been satisfied with the quality and price.
The two year old loves the live music option as well!
Will be back!
Great!. Stumbled on to this gem but will definately be back! We took our teens and all four of us had a great meal. From the bread, to the Caesar salad to the chicken Parmesan, veal florentin, and chicken Marsala it was all great. The combination of flavors were amazing! Service was great, prices good, atmosphere cozy, a definate new date night site for my hubby and I!
It's everything I love and hate about a true Italian meal.. The Maître d' (also the owner) greets patrons at the door with a warm smile, a fantastic suit and a suave italian accent, then escorts you to one of their many bistros tables. The humble facade stands in stark contrast to its ornate and romantic interior. The service is friendly, knowledgeable and professional and the menu offers most of the expected classic Italian entrees. Of note is their grilled bread and garlic parmesan dipping oil, which could down in the "best bread ever" hall of fame.
BUT, coincidentally, I found myself asking the same question I did while in Italy- "Am I ever going to eat?" The food took almost an hour. This is par for the course, if not better, than most restaurants in Italy. But unfortunately this isnt Europe- I work on Saturdays and we eat before 10pm. While the food was good, I don't think this restaurant will fit into my schedule very often : (
Bellinies is a very romantic restarant in the Oaklawn neighborhood near the melrose hotel always a local favorite great pasta ,seafood,and veal . Moderate prices and a full bar
This delightful italian eatery is amongst one of the finest in downtown Dallas. The ambience is somewhat reminiscent of my travel to Naples, Italy many years ago. It has a certain flair for romantic and casual settings. The appertizer I chose was their fried calamari. It was done to perfection. Light and without the heavy hand of salt but just a touch of chopped italian basil. For the main entree, it was the quintessential eggplant parmesan. I chose tbis particular dish because most "Italian" restaurants would fail to capture the fine textures and flavors I once tasted in Italy. However, the usual case of a successful restaurant would also be able to create the best Italian restaurants has to offer. The score for their rendition of the eggplant parmesan is 8.5 out of a possible 10. My rating is due in part of their presentation, flavor, and quality.
Overall, I would highly recommend this Italian Ristorante to travelers and locals alike.
I was sceptical, but proven wrong. The food was amazing. My husband had the sea bass on angle hair, I had the filet of sole....amazing. Our 8 yr old said it was the best pizza he has had 'in his life'. Great good, great service-family owned. And yes, the owner does look like an Italian Elvis. We will be back.
A friend and I wanted Italian tonight so I read about Bellini's here and off we went to judge for ourselves. Its a bad decor neighborhood joint with a bad Elvis impersonator working the door. That said, the food was terriffic !! Onion soup was a little too oregano-ey. The mussels were to die for. I had the pizza which could not have been better. The toppings I ordered were over sized and fresh. My friend had the sauce with sausage and was over the top. Travis, our waiter was very funny and knowledgable and attentive. Was very good at selling up. But this selling up was appreciated. We will ask for your section next time also, thank you for a great first visit there. Highly recommended.
Nice Sauce. I went for a birthday so had the opportunity to sample a few things from each person. Everyone is served a small loaf of bread to be dipped (if you so choose) in an olive oil, garlic, parmesan, balsamic mixture. They keep the bread coming throughout the meal. Loved the fried cheese---trust, it's not the freezer to fryer stuff. Enjoyed the Gratin Onion Soup, they put a twist on the original by adding Italian herbs and crushed red pepper so it's got a little kick to it. I ordered the Pizza Margherita and added grilled chicken. The sauce, to me, was just right on the flavor, though, a little heavy. The service is a little less hurried, so you may want to consider leaving yourself extra time if you go at dinner and expect the meal to take some time. The chocolate cake...TO DIE FOR.
Best Italian Food. We had the best meal in a long time here. Lasagna was fantastic, and my wife had a wonderful chicken pasta dish. The prices are very reasonable. We also got drinks from the bar that were phenomenal. Come hungry, because there is a lot of food. Also, even though they were shorthanded when we came, the waiter was beyond amazing. Truly a gem.
A good find that made for a special night. My wife and daughter and I went on the Friday after Thanksgiving. We were greater warmly by David who proceeded to make suggestions about the menu and then serve us with welcoming flare. What would have been an ordinary post holiday meal turned into a special evening. With Dean Martin on the stereo we enjoyed fettuchini Alfredo, veal Marsala, and searedchicekn. We also had an individual meatball and grilled onion pizza for an appetizer. All were wonderful. We highly recommend this place and David.

Go for the food. Bellini's is in a strip mall off Oak Lawn; if you did not know it was there you would probably miss it. Inside, the decor is stuck in the seventies. But the food was fantastic, and when you're eating who notices the decor? Their bread was first-class, and the oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping was divine. While the salad was only average, the shrimp scampi was one of the best I've ever had. The shrimp was tender, the pasta perfectly cooked and the veggies were firm. My wife's veal piccata was absolutely great. She had creme brule for desert and was totally pleased. And the prices are very resonable.
Downside? The service was not so good. The waiter forgot what I ordered the first time and had to come back to the table to ask. The entree he recommended was unavailable, so he had to come back to the table and ask her to reorder. It took a very long time to get service, and the place was not that crowded or understaffed. I am not sure if the issues were back of the house or front of the house, but I think it is a mix. I hope this was just a fluke, because I do like this place a lot. Enough to go back again, soon.
Urbanspoon strikes again. This place is a winner. Don't pay attention to the exterior. I was one of three patrons when I walked in at 8pm on a Monday. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was outstanding. O had the chicken Bellini and it was tender and flavorful. If you're looking for good Italian cuisine in Dallas, you will be pleased.
Love it!!. We love this place and go often. Living in downtown Dallas we have so many places to chose from and this is one of our favorites. The owner is wonderful and the wait staff very attentive. Warm bread warms the heart and the food is great. I have never had anything I did not like here. Don't look at the exterior, just walk in and you will be amazed.
What a great place!. I was fortunate to make the acquaintance of Lorenzo, the owner, not too long ago. And I'm so happy I did, otherwise I would have never experienced this diamond in the rough! Outside leaves something to be desired, but inside more than makes up for it! Abundant seating at the bar, a romantic atmosphere in the dining area, attentive service not only from the wait staff but the owner himself, oh....and did I mention the food? Delicious and abundant portions at very reasonable prices, and in Oaklawn no less!
An experience like this reaffirms my belief in supporting local business as much as possible, everything was fantastic!
Best palce to eat. I loved this place. Great food and service. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed.
PS The prices were very reasonable. I would recomend this to all my firends.
If you're looking for an Italian restaurant with delicious food and outstanding service, look no further than this gem of a place. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.
The menu boasts a wide variety of Italian classics. Each dish is expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients, and the flavors are simply divine!
The staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your meal is perfect. They're knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations, and they do everything with a smile.
Whether you're in the mood for a romantic dinner for two or a lunch with the family, this is the perfect place for it.
We really enjoyed our food, cheese ravioli and spaghetti with meatballs. Service was good, the atmosphere was nice, a bit busy for me. Was pretty busy, the wait was not extensive.
I've been several times with family and friends at the old Oak Lawn location and this is the best restaurant in Dallas and its not even close. Lorenzo is a great, his staff is always professional and the food quality is on 5 star level. You can't beat this place for the price.
Stopped by this evening for dessert. Old school feel and very authentic! Had the cheesecake and it was very good! Had live music playing. Enjoyed a chianti with my dessert which was very good. Different vibe than I am used to but really enjoyed the experience.
This place is great! We came here as a very large group after a wedding.
The manager was there and attended to all needs!
Love the decor. the service was awesome, and the food was delicious. Will be back!
Large, but somehow intimate, space decorated in what can only be called a baroque style, with statuary, painted ceilings, and loads of fresh flowers. Perfect for special occasions, romantic evenings, or any night out. The is perfectly prepared Italian standards. Their freshly baked bread is a treat. Be careful in ordering appetizers - they're delicious and filling. Very reasonable prices. When you're ready for Italian, go get some at this cozy gem of a restaurant.
The bread they start out with is good, soft, dense, warm and fresh. The service was the best I've had in a long time, very attentive and always noticing when I needed more water and I never had to ask for more which I feel like is rare. Our pastas we ordered were delicious, the Alfredo definitely tasted fresh and house made. The caesar salad dressing was house made and fresh, creamy. The live singer was so good that it sounded just like listening to old records, we had to ask to make sure it was still him singing and not prerecorded. Definitely check this place out when you're craving some Italian, or even when you're not.
The service and food were top-notch. I had a classic Italian dish and my husband had the duck and risotto... Both were divine. They seemed to have a wide selection of wines. The owner was present and working just like everyone else. There was live music (a female singer), which I normally don't enjoy at a restaurant, but she sounded amazing and wasn't too loud or disruptive. Can't wait to visit Dallas so we can eat here again!
This place is absolutely amazing. Best service . Excellent food!! Just beautiful! We had a group of 12 and were served with perfection!! 100% will be back! They were the most accommodating restaurant I have ever been to!! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal.
The food was delicious. I had the chicken parmesan over angel hair pasta. I definitely want to try many other dishes. Everything looked amazing. The atmosphere is a lot of fun! I hope to return when they have live music. The service was top-notch; attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.
