Bellini Italian Restaurant And Bar

Bellini Italian Restaurant And Bar is a family-owned Italian restaurant on Tamiami Trail North, in the Moorings neighborhood, that pairs traditional cooking with modern presentation. It is known for carpaccio, thinly sliced raw beef with shaved parmesan, arugula and capers, and for the Bellini cocktail. The menu runs from homemade meatballs and linguine with little neck clams to veal saltimbocca, braised Berkshire pork shank and U10 diver scallops over parmesan risotto. Dessert includes tiramisu and cannoli.

The dining room has soft lighting, white tablecloths and a large wine selection, and it aims to feel elegant without becoming overly formal. Service is attentive, which suits long, unhurried dinners and celebrations. The restaurant also hosts private luncheons and dinners with tailored menus, and a kids menu caters to children 10 and under.
