Guide Review - Bellini's Ristorante and Grill
Bellini's is one of my favorite places to eat in Oklahoma City, but I just nod my head when someone says they were a bit underwhelmed by it. See, I've found the results to be uneven on occasion, simply good one night and fantastic another. But when they're on, Bellini's is easy to recommend as a top spot in OKC.
Personally, I don't mind the inconsistency, and it's because I enjoy variety. While the mass-produced meals of family dining Italian restaurants certainly have their charms, Bellini's offers delightful authentic dishes such as a cheese-stuffed tortellini in creamy pesto sauce or linguine with buttered shrimp, scallops and clams. In addition, you can find fantastic thin-crust pizzas, another area I rank them among the metro's best, and a nice collection of quality steaks and seafood.
With a wonderful, relaxed-yet-elegant atmosphere that includes the option to eat out on the quiet patio in nice weather, you won't be too surprised to see the bill. Bellini's is a bit more expensive overall than your mainstream Italian fare in OKC, and you can expect to pay anywhere from $17-35 for the better entrées. But you'll also get quality, professional service, well worth it if you ask me.
