Wonderful brunch! The best French toast I’ve had in my life. The peach Bellinis and fried eggs with polenta and sausage were also delicious. Lovely chill vibe on a weekend and the service was very warm and welcoming. We could also sit outside with our dog, which is always a plus for us.

I visited this restaurant with my family for Father’s Day lunch based on local Reddit recommendations, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience with the service.
The most concerning issue was that we were never provided water throughout our meal. Every other table had glass water bottles, but despite multiple servers bringing out our courses, no one noticed or addressed that our table was without this basic necessity. I had to specifically request water when our second course arrived, which should never happen at any restaurant.
The service was consistently slow despite the restaurant being only partially full with several empty tables and adequate staff visible. It took 50 minutes from arrival to receive our first appetizer. We had to wave down servers for attention, as did other tables around us for both ordering and getting their checks. When our polenta arrived, no utensils were provided – spoons were quietly placed on our table well into the meal without any acknowledgment.
The food quality was mediocre and didn’t compensate for the service issues.
This experience really fell far short of expectations. The restaurant may have potential, but significant improvements in service attentiveness and basic hospitality standards are needed. I hope this was an off day, but I can’t recommend based on our visit.

Located in the Piedmont area, if you are in the mood for Italian style, non-pizza dinner, this restaurant will be worth the effort. High-quality flavoring, with a carefully-crafted alcohol and a rich range of choices from the current menu will leave a positive experience from the beginning until the end. You can taste the freshly-made pasta if you select something such as the Taglioni Pepati and the salads and appetizers will complete the experience. The photos included are the potatoes and of course Taglioni Pepati. Stop reading and go try it for yourself!

I love this place. Like LOVE.
The food I’ve gotten here has always been very flavorful, well cooked, and presented beautifully. They also have a good selection of wine as well if you want to drink wine. Their desserts are also delicious, I always order the doughnuts which come with a dark chocolate sauce and this white sauce.
They used to have these fish cannolis that were heavenly but unfortunately, those aren’t on the menu anymore.
Outdoor seating: yes
Heat lamps: yes
Nice owners and staff: yes
Price: it’s on the pricier side
Wine price: ~ $11-16 per glass

We had an outstanding dinner at Bellancio Restaurant and Wine BarWhat made our meal so remarkable? Every thing we ordered was very unique and delicious. We started with their “ Little Gems” Antipasti which consisted of “pickled butternut squash &red onion, gorgonzola, candied walnuts and dijon vinaigrette “! We also had a ravioli that was described as “ Casunzei Red beet & ricotta ravioli , butter sauce,poppy seeds and GRANA PADANO! These two dishes were unlike any I’ve ever had in an Italian or any restaurant! And both were absolutely exceptionally delicious! Maya was our server and she was wonderful too! And for dessert, we ordered an amazing selection of their favorite desserts that was perfect for the perfect for the four of us but selfishly, I would have loved to have it all for myself!

Bellanico was a nice sit-down restaurant with a great feel, ambiance, and experience.
I stumbled upon this place on a recommendation and went with a few people. We noticed there was a prefix menu for the night.. so that was a good way to try many of their offerings!
Our first dish we got was toast with cured salmon paste on it. The toast was crispy and had a nice texture to it. The paste was a good accompaniment and it was a nice dish to munch on. We then were able to try the wild boar and ricotta ravioli. I liked the ravioli though it was a pretty plain dish and did not think anything much of it.
I was also able to get the Russet potato gnocchi with gargonzola cream and toasted almonds. This was my favorite dish here. The almonds provide a nice texture and the gnocchi was prepared well and tasted great.
For dessert I got the goat cheese cheesecake. This was a nice tasting cheesecake and it was not overly sweet. It just had the right amount of minimal sweetness which I liked.
I really like the interior of this restaurant and the service was very attentive and nice. I definitely would come back!

Visited at lunch time and was served right away. While sitting at the bar, you can see in the kitchen where your food is prepared. It’s a clean space, employees seem genuinely happy to be working there and they’re quite knowledgeable. Ordered the smoked trout pannini. Seasoned to perfection and oh so delicious. The negroni went along with it just fine.

Delicious food and great service. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. You would need reservation. We didn’t have reservation, but still they seated us at the bar table. The ambience is excellent. My favorite was the Butterbean and black rice risotto. Lots of tea options and they are delicious.

As much as I enjoyed the food and service; which was spot on. I couldn’t help but notice my table and I were all swayed by our waitress to order non meat dishes. Idk if it was a supply issue or some hidden vegan agenda(which would be ridiculously clever), we just left unsatisfied.
But again the Italian beer and overall service was great!

Outstanding. Would give 6 stars if I could. We were in Oakland for one evening and our two teenagers response was that it was the best meal they’d ever had.
