Belluccis Restaurant in Wakefield

Not surprised this restaurant has closed. They describe their cuisine as fine dining but they obviously do not understand what fine dining is. Slow service, dreadful pizza with undercooked dough (how come they can't produce a good pizza in an Italian restaurant?), tough chicken, lukewarm vegetables. Poor choice for vegetarians.

Had bottomless brunch yesterday and was really impressed we had a lovely time the food was good and delicious cocktails and amazing service everyone was lovely and friendly would love to go back 😁

saturday night for a birthday 8 of us arrived at 7:30, nice welcome, drinks order taken and drinks brought over within the first 10 minutes, starters order was taken at 7:45, starters didnt arrive until 8:30, and one of the starters were forgotten, to which they did get them out and offer a drink for their sins. however we then waited another hour for our food. which on a saturday night could be understood if we werent one of 4/5 tables in the restaurant. to be fair to the staff they understood that the service wasnt good enough, never the less being in there for 2 hours before our food just wasnt good enough, the food was good which is why this isnt a 1 star review, but serious thought needs to be given as to the waiting times for the meals

I totally agree with the previous review. We were 8 of the people standing in the way. Table booked for 8.30 food came at 10.45 if people hadn't walked out we would never have eaten. Really spoilt our family evening. Must say the food when it came was tasty and very hot but small portions. Sad end to 2023.☹️

Appalling experience! I expected it to be busy and for the service to be a little slower as it was new years eve, however, i did not expect 2 hour delays!! Our table was booked for 7.30pm, we arrived at 7.25pm and were greeted with, i set you a table up in the middle of the room but ive given it to someone else, we will sort you another, this took 15 minutes. A lovely young lady (she was the only positive thing about our visit) took our order. We sat there for 45 minutes, still no food, at this stage we noticed the food coming out of the kitchen was very slow and only 1 guy was serving. We also noticed lots of people arriving and then having to stand and wait for tables, there was at least 20 people, this made it difficult for anyone to move round the room, get to the toilets etc. After an hour we saw other tables, who arrived before us, asking where there food was. The young was having to go round tables and apologise. The table next but one to us recieved some food, we asked them how long they had been waiting, there reply was 2 hours. The portion of their food looked very small and poorly presented. After an hour and 15 minutes we heard people demanding their bills to pay for drinks so they could leave, they too had been waiting over an hour and 30 minutes up to 2 hours and not even a starter was in sight. We asked how much longer and they couldnt give us an answer so we too asked for our bill after waiting 1 hour 30 minutes and left. To top it all they charged us £23 for a bottle of house white wine. I understand these places need to make the most of nights like this and make as much money as possible, but dont take on more than you can handle and ruin someones night. By this time no one could get in anywhere else and like us probably ended up with a take away pizza from a shop round the corner!!

This place is a revelation for me. I was really pleased with everything; the location, the welcome, the atmosphere, the service, friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the whole entire place including the toilets. Today was my first time to visit Belluccis Restaurant and the place is easy to find right in the heart of the centre of Wakefield. The outside of the restaurant is clearly, visible and beautifully marked, Belluccis, in gold on a green background illuminated at night by golden lamps (You cant miss it). On entering the restaurant there is an elegant reception area separate from the restaurant immaculately designed with welcoming deco. Inside you then enter the spacious restaurant and bar area. The whole area is filled with beautiful and exquisite furniture which looks and feels very luxurious. The friendly staff welcomed me with smiles which made me very happy and I felt very welcome. I was promptly escorted by the waiting staff to my allocated table.. I first ordered their signature Zulu Spear mocktail which I had never had before and my my my, it tasted divine! I was also given a glass of cucumber and lemon infused water which I think was very nice and courteous of the staff at Belluccis. They serve Italian cuisine and I ordered POLLO CREMA, which is a classic dish of tenderised chicken in wild mushroom cream served with rice. I have never eaten such tasty Italian food in my whole life. I like my food to hit the spot all the time I eat, so the quantity of food served to me should be the right quantities or rather more than enough to really fill my boots. :). Oh boy, I was served very generous amount of food and it was actually more than enough to fill my boots. But I still managed to give my plate a clean sweep. The chicken breast was amazingly tender and moist and is so the the best chicken breast I have ever eaten. I had planned to buy a dessert after my main but I was so full that I could not accommodate a dessert. But maybe next time. I will definitely be back to eat at this place with my entire family soon. The restaurant is so suitable if you fancy to treat someone special to some fine Italian dining of family groups or even corporate groups. Please try it and you will thank me later Thank you Belluccis team and management. keep up the good work great service.

There were not many people in for a Saturday night before Christmas. Having been disappointed with a 'carbornara' dish last time, this time I had their special 'boma' which was very nice. However,, a relative had fillet steak, which he said was delicious, but it came with very little else and cost £27. His wife had cannelloni, which was tiny and came with no accompaniments at all. We had pudding, (not usual for us, but we were still hungry)and my tiramisu was dry and I asked for some pouring cream. The service was very good, but on the whole the experience was poor for the cost.

4 separate meals at this establishment; each of them excellent in terms of presentation, quality and tastiness. Impeccable service from the maitresse d' and the serving and cooking staff members. Pasta, pizza and fish dishes all were uniformly enjoyable; I was given a tasting sample of their South African Cab Sauv/Cab franc blend on one occasion, having expressed an interest in their wine selection. It's not a cheap place, but represents excellent value for money.

We went to the bottomless brunch for a girls get together. The food was very good, I had the Greek salad and we ordered chips and garlic breads for the table. The waitress was lovely and did well remembering everyone's drinks. There was a good selection of drinks. I would recommend this venue.

First visit with friends for the bottom less brunch! Beautiful decor and staff were attentive making sure we had the drinks and food we needed! Lovely cocktails and overall a top notch first visit!

Not many people there. Very cold. DJ played disco records very loud. Not good for conversation. Complained about lack of heat & food, staff just shrugged their shoulders.

We were really hoping it'd be lovely but... Saturday night and very slow service - for example we were booked in just after 7pm and told online they'd need the table back by 8:45, but our mains didn't arrive until 9 - almost 2 hours after we'd arrived! The restaurant seemed really understaffed. For our mains we both had pasta which was stodgy and looked/tasted like it had been left on the warmers a while. it left us both with indigestion so we asked for the bill which I think might have been the quickest service of the night! One loo each for men/women/disabled so there was a queue for the ladies, and no loo roll. Embarrassing. We didn't stop for dessert and won't be back. It's not cheap, the vibe is nice in the restaurant (hence 2 stars not 1) but for the price I'd have expected a lot better. Such a shame.

Truly gorgeous food. Really well cooked. I’d recommend the ‘puff puff’ which is like a savoury doughnut. Couldn’t get enough! Lovely service too. Really friendly and attentive. I’ve never been here before and we’ve done ALL the restaurants in Wakefield. Can’t believe we’ve missed it. We’ll definitely be back soon. You’ll not be disappointed.

Been on multiple occasions and never had a bad experience, food is excellent and the staff are always so friendly.

Fantastic restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent food, top quality and clearly cooked from fresh. The best Italian in Wakefield in our opinion, couldn’t fault it.

Beautiful food. Quaint little restaurant. Nice setting. Cool background music and nice staff. No waiters fussing they leave you alone to eat but are attentive at the same time. I had the spinach and ricotta calleloni and it was delicious!!

Just had a amazing meal. The best meal out in ages. Very tasty seafood linguine (lots of seafood) and amazing service. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Visited for the first time after booking a booth for four people. We were all impressed with the decor and atmosphere of the place and found the menu to be quite expansive and inexpensive. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Most importantly the food...

We was in the area nothing booked so tried our luck in this place, the service was lovely and the food was amazing whats not to like?

First time visit & sadly not the best experience. Very slow service (less than a quarter full), several items on the menu not available & pretty overpriced (especially the wine list). What food we did receive was very tasty, but having waited an hour for...

Had the most amazing tagliatelle pescatore at this restaurant, a real 100% taste sensation, well recommended.

You will see from my previous review that despite poor waitress service, I rated the food very highly at this restaurant. Even though that is still the case, in fact the food is some of the best on the area, we unfortunately won’t be back...

One of the best restaurants we have been to and no doubt the best in Wakefield! The food, wow. Customer service - second to none. Will definitely be returning. Many thanks to the Bellucci family for such a wonderful experience. Ndengeya family ❤️

Went out with friends for my birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The surroundings, food, drink and service were all absolutely wonderful and we were extremely happy. Thank you so much.

Great food, freshly prepared. Lovely staff & value for money. The sautéed spinach is definitely worth it

We had bottomless brunch here. Food was amazing and definitely the best I have had at a bottomless. The drinks were proper drinks and free flowing! Decor Beautiful. Service fab.. there really was no negatives at all. I totally recommend and will be back.❤️

I recommended this restaurant after recently having a very good experience with my wife. It was a game of two halves!! Booked a meal for 10 for Mothers Day. A 6pm sitting on a Sunday so expected it to be busy. A pity the management...

We arrived at 6pm for Mother's Day and for starters the staff looked confused about where to sit us as there was not a table set up for 6 people, we ended up being sat at a 4 person table but made do. We promptly...

Mother’s Day should have been special, it wasn’t! Table wasn’t ready even though we had booked, then there were NO PIZZAS available!! Couldn’t have lasagne either, they’d run out of that too. That left about 6 items left to choose from,. We ordered then waited...

First things first, the food is fabulous here. A rival for sure of all the fabulous Italian restaurants that Wakefield has to offer. The food was outstanding, and we had a lovely family outing celebrating my birthday. The service was impressive, and we will definitely...

Food was loveky but the atmosphere was terrible no heating on and after complaining to the staff was told the manager had taken the keys to the heating home it was a joke. The heating was not turned on … too many eateries are doing...

We visited Belluccis Restaurant a few days ago for Lunch and was greeted by a Sophisticated elegant Lady and Anna one of the owners We had an amazing lunch with sublime food, service and attention to detail second to none Natty and Anna are hospitable...

We returned before christmas. In May I gave a great review. I suppose it all depends on the dish chosen. This time I ordered spaghetti carbonara in a.'silky pancetta, parmisan cheese and cream' sauce. The pancetta was lumps of very fatty bacon which was inedible,...

Visited with my husband and 2 children; unfortunately there isn't a children's menu but they are very accommodating in doing smaller portions, with typical menu items such as pizza, bolognaise, lasagne etc. The service was very friendly, they couldn't do enough for us! The food...

6 of us went last night the restaurant is beautiful staff very friendly I would give this place 5 stars but being vegetarian the menu was very poor there was 1 starter which was garlic mushrooms plus the soup 1 pizza 1 pasta and a...

There are many good restaurants in Wakefield these days (finally), so we can stick with what we know, but there was something about the alluring décor at Bellucci's that made us want to give it a go...and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is new,...

Went here for the lunch time early bird. Two courses for £15.95. I had prawn starter which consisted of 4 prawns and a Diavalo pizza which literally had 1 piece of pepperoni per slice of pizza. I have never seen such a stingy pizza before,...

We have dined here several times and the food has been excellent. However, this time l obviously made the wrong choice. The spaghetti carbonara should have had cream in it, and contained lumps of gristle masking as pancetta. It was inedible.

We very rarely dine in wakefield but after been recommended by a friend a group of girlfriends booked here for my birthday meal. It did not disappoint- the food was fab, service was great and the drinks/cocktails were great too… a great find will definitely...

This is the first time I’ve visited the restaurant and I cannot speak any higher, the food was amazing, but the service and the atmosphere is just beyond anything you’d expect!! Highly recommended and I will definitely be back. Thank you!

A stranger to Wakefield, this was the first restaurant I passed that looked promising. The early Bird menu (£15.95 for 2 courses, up to 5pm) was very good value; the service classy, the seating very comfortable, the tropical jungle-with-parrots wallpaper adding surprise to the loo...

We popped in for a bite of lunch (and a cocktail!) on jubilee Saturday. We shared a starter and Pizza. Great food, and the service was excellent. Porn Star Martini and Cosmopolitan highly recommended! Will definitely return.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Everyone made me feel so welcome with stimulating conversations from all members of staff!

Absolutely amazing!!! 5* service, the staff are so friendly and inviting, checked in throughout the meal to make sure we were happy. The food was something else, freshly cooked and to perfection - coming from a chef! Best restaurant in Wakefield!!

The perfect family run restaurant, such amazing service with all staff members making it so warm and welcoming for us! Food was 10/10! Would highly recommend for larger parties, birthday or even intimate occasions.

From the welcoming staff to the amazing food, Bellucci was definitely the best place in Wakefield. We will visit again.
