Bellini's in Bedford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really friendly staff and fantastic food, just a short walk from our campsite. Will definitely be back when we're next in the area.

Made our annual visit! Always good quality Italian food can highly recommend. The homemade Tiramisu is lovely. As a Twinwood regulars, we like to start the festival with an Italian.

I recently booked this place for my 60th birthday party, I had aprox 80 guests and a disco. On arrival to the restaurant i was so happy, the room had been set out so people could dance or sit to chat. I chose to have Italian buffet food and the range and quality of the food was beautiful, something for everyones taste and plenty of it and nice and hot too. The staff are kind, efficient and very helpful, a really good team. BIG thank you to you all.

Absolutely shocking service. Order placed through Just Eat which was accepted and money taken from my account. After 40 mins wait I called to ask where my order was and they just said it’s been cancelled. If you’re looking for a reliable pizza delivery place I suggest avoiding this place like the plague.

Possibly the least appetising carbonara I’ve ever had, I have never had a carbonara from Italian made with cream and that’s all it tasted of , it was very bland and our whole order was cold and took 20 minutes longer than expected.

My no1 takeout pizza place, placed many orders and never been disappointed. I live in Clapham, and delivery has never taken longer than 30 minutes. 5 star

Family get together. Great food.

Food was beautifull, tasty and good price. People are very nice and atmosphere is lovely. I recommend this place to everyone.

Staff have a major attitude problem.

Absolutely disgusted by the way I was spoken to when they called to cancel my order

I went here to film a friends birthday party and the all the staff for simply incredible. They was friendly and helpful, that's before I get to the food. I am lucky enough to have been to Italy a few times over the years and eating at this lovely little restaurant brought back lots of amazing memories of being there!

Very very good!! ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lovely people and food. Really good service

Here for a function, so I can't comment on normal menu. But staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Excellent service from a very friendly and accommodating owner. Didn’t see anything on the menu that took my fancy, so asked for a specific meal and not only was it provided, it was exceptional. If you’re in the area, looking for a place to eat, you are advised to call.

Had a fabulous time at the Bellini’s restaurant in Bedford. I would highly recommend the mozzarella in carrozza for starters - it was delicious. We loved our mains, I had the Margherita and my partner had ravioli and we left very satisfied with the attentive customer service and full bellies!

Very friendly and very welcoming food excellent 👌

We're always made to feel welcome, and the food is great.

Been her a few times now for birthday and wedding receptions. Can’t fault the place, very welcoming, nice food and very clean.

Fantastic meal Very plentiful Al the staff very efficient Friendly atmosphere We were line dancers able to dance the night away

Booked their function room for an 18th party and the team at Bellinis were very responsive with any queries. And on the day they were very hands on and helpful. The food was amazing and everything was perfect!

Italian restaurant in Sharnbrook! Nice people!!

Nice place for couples and families

Had an amazing time at Bellinis. Amazing staff, great hospitality and great food (amazing buffet with lots of variety). We were well looked after by the boss and family - we felt like we were hosting a party in the comfort of our own house. Thank you so much for making our daughter's 19th birthday a brilliant success. God bless you all xx

Excellent food, great atmosphere, good service

I turned up Friday 6pm unannounced with my Son and adopted family (6 of us) and was welcomed in. Service and food fantastic. Lovely, clean restaurant too. Thankyou so much Bellini's

My husband and I visit here when we can and the food never disappoints! Also plenty of gluten free options and vegan cheese. I also just ordered from them on Just Eat and my order came within 20min of ordering! That’s what I call incredible 5* service

We were at a family wedding, the food and the staff were amazing very friendly atmosphere was brilliant we really felt at home, just an amazing time loved it,bellisamo.

Outstanding Italian restaurant - especially if you have a party in mind! When this place is full and everyone is dancing the evening away the atmosphere is unmatched anywhere in Bedford. The customer service is second to none and you’ll always get a warm welcome from the owner. So complete is his attention to detail that he apologised for my slightly oval-shaped pizza last time I was in but I told him not to worry, for me that’s a sign of authenticity! Whether you fancy a quiet meal with your partner, a larger gathering with friends or a full-blown party - look no further than the mighty Bellini’s!

Not big but very cosy place. From me four stars only because of not big enough a variety of food. Having said that I found out that can however cook something which is not in the menu if you order 2-3 days in advance. Service is first class: white tablecloths, cutlery and napkins in place as well as wine and water glasses. Before I visited the place I've had an opportunity to order a pizza from this place. It was delicious. This time I've had ravioli with ricotta and spinach. Excellent choice. They have also deserts and good wine. I do recommend it.

Attended a 21st birthday party at Bellinis and I must say that from the moment we walked in to when we left everything was excellent. The food was authentic Italian and freshly made and plenty of it. All the staff went out of there way to accommodate us with our dietary requirements and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this place for any function. 👍⭐️

Very disappointed. We celebrated a special occasion with family and friends with an agreed set menu. The Antipasti starter was well below average. As for the pasta dish, well how can you get pasta so wrong. The pasta was well over cooked and was swimming in an acidy soup substance. The mains consisted of 3 slices of roast potatoe which I'm sad to say was the highlight of the mains. A bearly warm anemic looking breadcrumbed chicken garnished with a tiny amount of salad. All this for £30 a head, absolute ripoff. I didn't want to complain at the time as this would have upset my mother and the occasion. I will not be returning to this restaurant and am arranging a second celebration meal elsewhere where we can gather family and friends for a happy more memorable occasion.

Worst meal I had in a restaurant in a long time. Was there for a birthday party and the food was not even average. It was £30 per head and the starter was a bit of mozzarella cheese and some tomato slices they actually forgot to dress it with some olive oil and the basil was 3 wilted leaves. The main was overcooked spiral pasta, mine came actually all broken up and with so much tomato sauce on it, that it looked like soup! The sauce was so bland no even a bit of basil! How can you get pasta in simple tomato sauce wrong! My second was a Parmigiana (the vegetarian option) it didn't even had mozzarella cheese! They actually used cheese slices! The one that come wrapped in plastic that you put in burgers! I had better food in the canteen of Bedford Hospital. If the chef is Italian they should confiscate his/her Passport! If there was an option for no star I would have chosen it.

Worse Italian restaurant I've ever been to..shocked to my core that they are actually Italian..am not from Bedford so had to relay on reviews..awlful just awlful..literally have no words ..

Lovely place to hold events, we've been here many times, always a friendly welcome!

We love Bellinis we have delicious food with pleasant friendly staff 10/10

Brilliant place to eat. Highly recommend

It was a really quiet night after Easter but the food was superb and everyone in our party cleared their plates. The staff were friendly and helpful. An excellent night

Thank for for your lovely Pizza’s delivered out to Stevington last night, they were very very tasty and received piping hot. Very much appreciated

Pizzas were undercooked with no seasoning and the ribs were very dry, that's takeaway. I'm sure sit down would be a better experience by the other reviews.

Excellent restaurant always great to have a meal with family and friends. Friendly family run business good food and quality service every time I go there. Many thanks to everyone at Bellini's

Family owned business. Consistent good service. We have been to Belli's several times over the a number of years always had good service and good meals.

New Year's ever dinner. Lovely people, great service and love the food. We just popped in with the of chance to get a seat, and we were lucky to get one. Always very accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Ordered £70 worth of pizza, paid £1.50 for extra anchovies on my pizza got 2 extra’s, the veggie pizza had 5 pieces of pepper and very little other veggies. The garlic bread was great. Rang to provide customer feedback but was told we don’t have time to investigate your customer feedback.

Had a Fantastic time. Food was lovely . well looked after staff ever so efficient. Great place .Will be going again hopefully one day soon x

A good place for our works Christmas party

Service could be more attentive

We had our 50th Wedding Anniversary party at Bellini’s last weekend, my family and friends complimented on how amazing the food was, fantastic hospitality, excellent service could not have asked for more! Thank you so much Donato, Emma and the rest of the staff at Bellini's. I would highly recommend!

My sister 69th dinner party on the 9th October 2021. Excellent set menu, tremendous service could not have asked for more

Absolutely delicious 😋 this is now the whole families favourite take out. Restaurant standard and such good value. Big portions we all love the food . Thank you

I have been going there for ages amazing food really nice waiters/waitress all in all a great Italian restaurant

Great evening as always good food and polite attentive staff

Lovely Italian hospitality and great food.

Super friendly host, super attentive waitress, and great tasty food! Definitely coming back.

This was our first meal out post lockdown. We were treated to 1st class service, delicious food and a perfect evening out. Thank you all...... 🙏

Very polite and helpful. Quick complete order and delivery. Thank you for a delicious meal, loved it all. I Will definitely order from them again. Highly recommend A*

Lovely pizza 🍕 delivered nice & hot by friendly restaurant staff, via Uber Eats app.

Amazingly delicious food with fast and efficient delivery service ❤️ something for everyone. Had their pizza Al pollo and the chicken and chips.

Just had a order delivered and WOW Amazing pizza and lovely lady that delivered …Spot on great value and brilliant quick service ( love heart sweets were a super cute touch for valentines evening) Cant wait to visit in person again 5++++stars

We have used a few times now. Food is good and can recommend. Would just comment that for £3.50 We expected more salad! Very small, two pieces of tomato and two olives! Not good value!

Bellinis is the definition of Family Run restaurant, from the moment you step in you’re greeted with an immense family atomosphere. Dom is always working the floor engaging with everyone and making them smile and laugh. The food is traditional Italian which is robust in portion size which lets be honest that’s why you come to a family run restaurant. But also if there is something not on the menu their willing to make it which is an amazing thing to do. If it’s a family meal or a quick takeaway pizza bellinis should be your first port of call.

First of all we have been going to this restaurant for many years and have taken lots of our friends to it, so after it reopened after the lockdown we were really looking forward to going. We again took another couple with us and prior to going we had told them what a great place it was and how good the steaks were. They had a really lovely mushroom starter on the menu which came with a sauce which we all ordered. Unfortunately the sauce seemed to have split so didn’t coat the mushrooms and it just sat in the bottom of the dish, but it tasted ok so we asked for some bread (which they charged us £1.60 for) to soak it up. We didn’t mention the sauce as at least it tasted ok. More issues were just around the corner, three of us ordered the ribeye steak. Two rare and one medium the plates arrived, but immediately on cutting the steak it was obvious that mine was not medium but was well done. I asked the others and the rare ones were well done as well, not even a hint of pink in them. I got up and went and found a waitress. I explained quietly and politely the problems with the food. She came to look,apologised and took the three plates away leaving one of our party to eat alone while we waited for our new steaks to arrive. When they arrived amazingly half of our chips had disappeared. If the restaurant had been rammed it may have been excusable to had over cooked the first steaks but this restaurant is never busy and on this particular evening there were only two other tables eating. Even now the steaks were not great, they were cooked slightly better but two of them were really tough. We didn’t complain this time and made the best of it. When you pay £23 for a ribeye steak you don’t expect it to be full of gristle and to be cooked badly. We finished our meal which came to almost £200. The bill arrived and on looking at it I noticed that no allowance had been made for our meal and evening being spoilt. When the waitress arrived to take the payment, I explained that I would pay the bill but was disappointed that no allowance had been made for this. This is when it started to get unbelievable. She said well these things happen and then she blamed the butcher for it !!!! Then to make matters worse tried to make us feel better by saying that they had been to Miller and Carter and also had a badly cooked steak. She said she would go and speak to the management, on her return she offered us a drink on the house !!! When I explained that as two of us were driving it would be pointless she said well what do you want. After explaining that it was not up to me to decide on compensation it was up to the restaurant she offered nothing additional so we paid the bill and left. We will never be returning to this restaurant not just because of the problems with the food but more because of the way it was handled.

I adore Bellini's, their lasagne is the best lasagne in Bedfordshire in our opinion. Quality is immense. Easily my favourite Italian restaurant. Top quality service!

We ordered lasagne and pizza for takeaway and it was incredible. 100% will order again.

Great quality food and ‘proper pizza’ topped with lovely fresh ingredients. Far superior to anything else around here. Super fast and friendly delivery. We had starters, pizzas and a dessert. We will definitely be ordering again.

Delicious pizzas given with the lovely personal touch from the Bellini family, thankyou 😋

Always amazing service and quality of food. Most recently we ordered a delivery from here (both a pasta and a pizza) and they were absolutely perfect. Lovely home made feel and taste to the food unlike the chains. Bang on time, bang on the money! Highly recommend and great value. 10/10

Great pizza, fast and friendly service. Good value for money. Will be coming back.

Had a brilliant party there, staff were accommodating and efficient, food was great as was the disco. We will definitely be coming back.

Last night we held my daughters 18th birthday party at Bellini’s and was amazed by the excellent italian traditional food served, atmosphere and fantastic hospitality by Donato, Emma and all of the staff at Bellini's. There were about 48 of us and everyone had an amazing time. Donato and team served us delicious traditional Italian food which could not be faulted. All my family and friends complimented on how amazing the food was, if you’re looking for great italian food, amazing hospitality and excellent service, and I mean excellent service look no further than Bellini’s!!!!!!! Thank you ever so much Donato, Emma and the rest of the staff at Bellini's for a memorable night made even more so special by you all!!!!!!!!!!

7 of us had a lovely birthday lunch today. Service, food, wine were fabulous. Friendly staff and good environment. Very delicious pasta, risotto and pizza. Highly recommend!!!!

Never had a bad experience yet 👍🏻

A local restaurant offering home cooking The food was tasty and portion sizes good. Service was good and the house wine reasonably priced. Large space so not intimate or atmospheric but nicely decorated.

Beautiful food served in a lovely relaxed Italian family restaurant... Friendly staff nothing is too much trouble. Really good with the kids as well. We'll be back again

Great food very good service .parking off road.

Had our works Christmas party at Bellinis last night. Welcoming hosts. Food excellent especially the desserts. First class service. Lovely party atmosphere/ disco finished off the evening perfectly. Would certainly recommend a visit to Bellinis anytime.

Great food, wine and perfect hosting comes in abundance at this family friendly restaurant. Enjoy a visit and you'll be back for seconds

Very friendly atmosphere and food was nice.

Went with my boyfriend as we did planned it as our little date night, but I have to say excellent food well made and tasted fresh, very clean environment, cosy, I would recommend this and would definitely go there again.

Because its got a good atmosphere

Fantastic food and service . Thank you for a lovely meal .

Excellent night at Bellini's, food delicious as always.

The meal was excellent. The atmosphere is calm. Polite and nice staff.

Excellent food and a excellent service thanks for a very good night, a restaurant I'll keep visiting. Definitely one of the best.

Pleasant but no childrens menu and very expensive for a bottle of wine.

Food was extremely disappointing. We went and pre-ordered from their party menu as there were a fair few of us. I have Italian family so was really looking forward to some different Italian food. Starter: Mozzarella in Carrozza. Bland, no taste. There was nothing tomato about the sauce, well there wasn't anything about the sauce. No flavour at all. Felt like it was out of a packet or a tub ready made. Main Course: Pollo Cacciatore. Chicken was way overcooked leading to the chicken being chewed for a good period of time and then having to wash it down. The tomato sauce was EXACTLY the same bland stuff we were served with the Starter. Only saving grace for this meal was the potatoes. Dessert: Tiramisu. The ultimate disappointment. My all time favourite Italian Dessert. Homemade, it's absolutely gorgeous. This one, not so much. Didn't taste like anything but cream and water. Just overly watery. Shop bought maybe? Overall: Overly disappointing food. Good atmosphere, nice looking restaurant.

Always a warm welcome at Bellini's. Food is very good, I've been back several times. Modern ambience. Check out special offers if possible.

It's amazing place to eat food I had my communion there and the food was amazing

Went here with all the family, what a lovely place, friendly and polite staff, it was paid for so even better, food lovely too.

Celebrated my sons birthday at Bellinis with family. Lovely atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Food was superb and well presented Definitely will be coming back for more in the future.

Had a really awful meal and experience here. The prawns made my husband ill. Can not understand all the great reviews 😬

Fantastic place with great food. Catered for 9 of us last minute but did not compromise on service. The food was served promptly but allowed our group to eat at our pace. The owners were very funny and friendly and hit it off with the two dad's and the son was very friendly. I see why this place is rated so well. Will definitely make a return. Also seems like a great place for even larger parties in the back room.

Excellent food and friendly staff.

Used to live local and even since we moved we still come back here. Excellent food never faulted and such warm welcome each time from the owner, lovely touch!

Had great 30th birthday party here amazing food!!!!!! Disco is was fun and went on till the last person went home

We held my brother’s 21st birthday party at Bellini’s last weekend and as always were blown away by the excellent food, atmosphere and fantastic hospitality by Donato, Emma and all of the staff. There were about 50 of us and everyone had a fabulous time. Donato and team pulled out all of the stops with the traditional Italian food - which could not be faulted. Donato arranged for a DJ and our party had to be dragged off the dance floor in the early hours of the morning!!! If you’re looking for great food, amazing hospitality and excellent service, look no further than Bellini’s! As always thank you very much Donato and the rest of the staff at Bellini’s - another memorable night made even more so special by you all!

Another fantastic night at bellinis excellent food and service

Food gorgeous, service second to none. The best of festive celebrations so far.

Great disco great food and amazing friendly staff. Loved it

Good food, service a bit iffy 'cos they'd got a couple of party's in
