ellini invites you to experience a sophisticated modern take on traditional dishes that are the very essence of Italian cuisine. Every selection is an inventive blend of fresh, seasonal ingredients, classic recipes, innovative preparation and inspired presentation.Perhaps, most important, it is autentico Italiano – authentic Italian – brought to you from Italy with love by the Bellini family. The first Italian restaurant on beautiful 5th Avenue South, Bellini is still the best Italian restaurant on the Avenue. Since 1995, we have evolved thoughtfully and embraced trends that have enabled us to grow creatively, yet remain faithful to our family's core values of using only the highest quality, freshest ingredients, and treating our diners as we do guests in our home. Indeed, that is exactly what you are!
