Bellini

Unfortunately I am disappointed in our first trip to the new Bellini’s in holly springs. We were met at the door with a nice young man and a newly decorated establishment. It looked nice! However, they didn’t have 3 drinks that I ordered. Our mushrooms were first a very small portion (3) but in addition, not a normal stuffed mushroom and not up to our likings. I ordered the chicken parm and unfortunately the chicken was mushy, not crisp and it also tasted like it came from the freezer section. Neither of us finished any of our parts of the meal. We always try to give places a second chance, but we will have to give it quite a bit of time. I feel like I really just wasted money. I’m providing two stars based on the waiter because he did the best job he could!

First time to Bellini's. Fancy atmosphere (classy). Well taken care of by staff. Great menu options for appetizers, entries, desserts and drinks. We took advantage of the entire menu. The four of us had a great time and the food was amazing. The waiter was everything you might expect from a nice dinning experience. We will definitely be back.

I wanted to give you a 5* but I can’t. The service was wonderful, Nancy gives the best service, but the food was so disappointing. The bread was cold, and hard, I had trouble finding my eggplant in all the red sauce, very small portion, hardly any pasta. My son’s veal was half the size of portions he has had in the past. The crème brûlée was tiny and cold. I probably will not be back. All I can say is we loved this restaurant when they were in Fuquay. If they would go back to how they once had it, I think their restaurant could be a success. If they stay the way it is currently, I don’t think the new location will be very successful. . ***See below….this is how crème brûlée should look!!! But I don’t think you look at your reviews.

Happy an Italian restaurant is moving in. Looked good on arrival. Staff was excellent. That's it. I ordered the spaghetti seafood with red sauce. What I got was spaghetti in a bowl of very lightly flavored water with a few shell fish. NO flavor to the sauce. The bread before the meal was a few slices of cold French bread that may have e been on the shelf for a while. I won't go further. Service was good though

My father and I had come based off of their positive review in the Cary Magazine, but we were extraordinarily disappointed. Our waiter was amazing, very attentive and conversational, but the food was lacking. I got the manicotti ($17), but it was really small and nothing special, especially for the price. My father got the chicken parmesan (not sure the price), and lamented that the sauce was too acidic and the chicken was not crispy. The pricing was definitely $$$, not $$ (thanks Google). When you pay top dollar for a meal, you expect it to be special, but that was unfortunately not the case this evening. We will not be back and will likely go to Daniel’s Italian restaurant instead.

Waitress was lovely. Specials weren’t told to us until we asked. Eggplant appetizer was soggy and not fried well. Veal Bellini was disappointing, with a tasteless sauce and box pasta. Salmon special was paired with a thick red sauce that didn’t combine well. overall impression was that the prices paid in the restaurant is not worth it and this doesn’t taste like Italian food.
