Ristorante Bellini in Melton

Excellent food, great selection. Pizza and pasta were spot on and staff were very attentive. Nice atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Went out of their way to help me get into the restaurant as I'm disabled, and there were steps ,they brought out a ramp for me to go in. Food was amazing and they couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend this restaurant.

A meal with familyriends for a wedding anniversary. I agree with all previous reviews on the quality and presentation of all starters and mains, the staff were polite, friendly but professional, what I wanted to add is for any coeliacs out there, there is much on the menu that can be made gluten free. It is marvellous to eat a lovely meal without any worry of being glutened. Thank you Bellinis.

I love Bellins ..however I was little disappointed. It was very busy with some big tables and felt that we had been squeezed in ..we had booked 3 weeks in advance so mot just a walk in. The antipasti..was meat n salad and a few pickles ..no cheese ...also the main was ready befor..we had finished our starter ..just felt a little unwelcome ...Maybe just a busy night but it wasn't our best experience

We both love Bellinis always a good meal to be had, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. There lunch time menu is so varied and is such good value. Can't recommend them enough .

Seriously the best Italian food we have had, so tasty and great service - highly recommended and well deserved 5⭐️all round

We were stopping in the town for 1 night and we were lucky to get a table for 2 on Saturday 24th at 6pm as a walk in - that was an indication it must be good. Welcome from Wendy at the bar was very warm & friendly, service was good and food was top notch! Prices very reasonable too. We'd be regulars if we lived in the area....

Visiting Melton Mowbray for a weekend, we booked a table on one evening. The restaurant was busy but staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The menu provided a wide selection and the food was delicious. It was a wonderful atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Great restaurant went on a date night with the wife highly recommend. Good selection of wines too which the wife was happy with.

The food is second to none. The quality of food is cooked exceptionally well and each dish is consistent if ordering same food each time. You get offered bread basket with balsamic and oil to table. The kitchen know how to cook meat with in requested range temperatures. The portion are great other main dishes often come with sides of vegetables. You leave feeling well fed. The restaurant has a great selection of wines and soft drinks. The serving staff are great and attentive to needs of customers . Every time I have visited I have made them aware of my allergy, no faffing around. Staff come and offer pepper of parmesan cheese. This place gets it right checking on you. They ask once if everything is okay with food. The staff are always friendly and attentive to every need. This place has a great restaurant atmosphere and music is not too loud. Often at weekends you will see work night outs and occasional hen due but never gets too out of control.

Pleasant place with pleasant service. Great food choice and the lunchtime meal deal was good value. The strawberry cheesecake was delicious (best I've had anywhere in years) as was my husband's chocolate dessert. Only negative was the ramp to make it wheelchair accessible - if you're intending pushing an adult up make sure you're strong or have someone strong enough to do it with you as it was quite long and steep and I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without my husband, however I admit I'm only 5 ft and not particularly strong!

Grazie Raffaele! Please save some of that pink pepper for me!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice place nice people nice food.

Flawless food and service, thank you for making my daughter's birthday a night to remember. It's been a long time since I enjoyed such lovely food.

We met friends at the restaurant for lunch. The staff were welcoming on our arrival. Within minutes, we were served with fresh crusty bread with olive and balsamic vinegar for dipping. Our food was served piping hot and delicious . We will certainly revisit in the future.

Our table for 4 was booked for 6.30pm and we were taken straight to it. Service was prompt, friendly and professional. Drinks arrived quickly and once we we had ordered the food we didn't wait long for the food to arrive. Each course came in good time as you would have wanted it to - not rushed and not long to wait. The food was excellent, tasty and hot. Don't know how the chef does it but never seems rushed just calmly gets on with it and no shouting coming from the kitchen. The service, food and friendliness of the staff was great. This is a place we will certainly use again -

Absolutely wonderful evening. Best restaurant I've been to.

We went here for lunch and had one of the chicken options having been told pizzas weren't available at lunchtime. Everything about the experience was OK, but nothing memorable.

Another great lunch, had a mixture from main menu and specials. Excellent food, service and ambience. Everything taste amazing, and staff are very friendly

Lovely meal and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Another great meal. Having lived in Italy, we know what great food is and Bellinis does not disappoint. This is definitely going to become a firm favourite of ours.

First time we have visited Bellini. Very pleased with the excellent service and delicious food. Definitely going again.

Lovely place food was really good as was the service Lasagna was wonderful as was the pannacotta dessert Staff were really friendly Definitely recommend a visit here if you like Italian food

I wanted to write a review to say what a fabulous meal we had this evening. The service was great, food was amazing . We had a choice of starters including calamari, king prawns and hallomi. For mains we had pizza, risotto, lasagna and calzone. There was a busy atmosphere which was great to see. With drinks including wine, beer and 2 courses for a family of 4 £105.

This Restaurant is the best in Melton. The food is excellent and the staff are lovely. We often go to the Cinema and then have a great meal next door.

Having never been before, we decided to try Bellini after visiting the Regal Cinema next door. We had heard nothing but good things about it, so our expectations were high. It’s fair to say that our high expectations were more than met! We were greeted warmly by the staff, and shown to our table straight away. The menu is extensive; there really is something for everyone, and that’s before you look at the specials board! Between us and our six-year-old son we had a range of pizza, pasta and meat dishes. The pizza was stone cooked and topped with high quality ingredients - it was a really good pizza. My partner’s pasta dish was flavoursome and generously portioned. I chose fillet steak in a white wine and mushroom sauce from the specials board, and it was truly wonderful. The meat was faultless. Having enjoyed our dinner so much we spoiled ourselves with the “cheesecake of the week,” which this week was Kinder Bueno. This was also incredible. Prices were reasonable; our bill came to £80 for the three of us with drinks and desserts. And our boy was delighted to be presented with a Drumstick lolly at the end too. If you haven’t been, please go. It’s brilliant.

We had an amazing meal here last night. I had pappardelle stroganoff which was delicious, with a lovely tomato and cream sauce. My husband had pollo picante which was equally good. The side salad ( for one ) was easily enough for two and the potatoes and veggies served with the chicken were also generous ( and we were very hungry having hiked for most of the day) We finished with crème brûlée which was also delicious. What impressed me most was that the food was piping hot, served with a smile and no more than 15 minutes after we had ordered. It was cooked from fresh, as we had a good view of the kitchen. I would definitely return if we were in the area.

Business meal with colleagues staying overnight in Melton. Great menu with all that you would expect from an Italian restaurant. All food was well presented and plentifully. Wine and drinks reasonably priced. Service very good. Calves liver main course was excellent however very thin slices and cooked through. Would have preferred slightly thicker piece and pink Otherwise very good

A lovely lunch from the specials board; gnocci and liver. Charming service too. This is proper and very good, Italian food.

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly and helpful service, and the food was divine. Really recommend for taste bud sensations

Celebrating my 70th birthday, with 20 family and friends of various ages, from 5 years old to 75 years young. We preordered our meal as it was close to Christmas, menu was amazing - from delicious king prawn, baby monkfish tails to fabulous fillet steaks. The restaurant was very busy but everything went smoothly, Service was the Best, All food came to the table together, everyone's meal was delightful. Everyone without exception enjoyed, food, ambience and drinks, Thankyou Bruno, Rafie, Morgie and the team, you work so well together.

Me & the mrs took a crowd of us there in December, first time we had been. Food was good, place was clean & nice service. The place was busy. Would go there again & try some different dishes. The prices are reasonable. Parking across the road is free after around 6 ish

We’ve just returned from many years of living in Italy and were a little apprehensive when someone suggested that we try Bellini in Melton. Our experience of Italian restaurants in the U.K. hasn’t great in the last year. Rarely are they are authentic and usually the dishes are not created with true Italian ingredients. Bellini was a pleasant surprise. We were a party of 7 and had booked to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were not disappointed. Everyone choose something different and so there was a wide selection. The whole group enjoyed their meal. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The sauces tasty. The steak was high quality and the fish nicely served. Staff were attentive, polite and knew what they were doing. We were not rushed but it was efficient. This is definitely going to become a regular haunt for us now that we’ve discovered it. Thank you team for a lovely meal. See you again soon.

Excellent Italian restaurant - the highlight of our trip to Melton. The monkfish was particularly delicious. Service was excellent i.e. efficient and friendly without being intrusive. I would certainly recommend.

Superb delicious perfect service certainly our go to place for lunch from now on Highly recommended

We had a fantastic night thank you so much for letting the four of us old Army friends have a really good laugh without being told to keep the noise down. The food was great and the staff were really kind. Once again thank you.

Their lunchtime special menu is simply fantastic value. On a damp Wednesday we found ourselves nearby, and were surprised to find virtually every table taken. A happy, friendly atmosphere, and a delicious simple plate of food and a soft drink for under £11. Amazing value. Read a few of the reviews - lots of people have found the place virtually full. There's a reason for that, and I imagine those in the know come back time and time again. Bravo Bellini.

The place was almost full on a Tuesday lunchtime, which not many restaurants can boast. The lunchtime pasta specials were clearly popular though we went a la carte. Beautifully prepared garlic king prawns were an excellent starter. I had spicy pasta for main but regretted not following the rest of the table with a fish dish. It was terrific according to my much travelled friends. I will definitely return

🌟WHAT A LOVELY RESTAURANT🌟 I booked a birthday meal here for 9 people and I was very pleased with the outcome. -The communication with the staff was great and very responsive. Pre ordering was needed, due to the size of the party (via email and phone). - We spoken to them about decorating the table, the night before the meal. The decorations were outsourced, the table was all dressed up for us and the price was added to the bill at less than £10. It was very reasonable. -A pre made cake, by ourselves was dropped off the night before. They kindly brought it to the table after we had our main courses. Candles were lit and they were singing happy birthday. - The food served was very tasty and good quality. Nobody on the table had any complaints. - The price was very reasonable too. -The only 1 minor downfall I had was that the birthday was a surprise. We pre booked food for everyone, other than who the birthday was for. When the food came out, we had to order the food for the birthday guest (as this was forgotten). This was also partially my fault for not remembering (I cannot hold the staff at the restaurant fully responsible for this). The food for the birthday guest came out sharply and was remedied nicely. (5 stars for service would have been given otherwise). All in all, I would highly recommend restaurant Bellini to anyone. They have the customers hearts at mind and nothing is too much for them. 🙏🌟💙💖💞

Monday night meal for 6 friends and the restaurant was nearly full! We dine here regularly and they really look after you with excellent service, good meals and wine at good prices. A bottle of Monte for less than £20. If you want good food, a bit of a buzzy Italian feel and good value then this is for you.

On a wet October Monday evening in Melton Mowbray, to be honest, we didn’t have high expectations of finding a superb restaurant. Yet we were wrong - we found Bellinis - and it was excellent. Very attractive layout; extremely welcoming and helpful staff; a comprehensive menu catering for every different person’s expectation of “Italian cuisine”; speedy service; a very reasonable price; and - unusual for a good Italian restaurant - open on Mondays. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and good service. The restaurant was full however didn't need to wait to long before food came out, all dishes were really tasty and good quality.

Bellini used to be our no. 1 goto restaurant in Melton because of the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. Then for one reason or another we drifted away. Recently we've eaten here again, as a couple and also with our family, including grandchildren. It's been a revelation as nothing has changed other than a few staff members. The food is, as it ever was, high quality Italian, with some of the freshest seafood we've tasted in a long time. The whole place runs like clockwork, from hard-working and talented chefs to on the ball waiting staff managed superbly and with a smile. I would recommend Bellini to anyone who enjoys very good Italian food at a reasonable price. I can't wait for my next visit!

THE best Italian I have been to in a long time! Came here half a dozen times over from the Premier Inn across 2 weeks and service is always friendly, attentive, and polite. Each time I went I got a completely unique 3-course meal and no meal has even come close to disappointing me. All well presented, and a delight to polish off. Pricing is extremely reasonable too for the quality of food you get (can comfortably get 3-courses in for under £30). Couldn't recommend more!

Had a lovely meal here- 3 courses- all fab… but lasagne was huge- and the anti pasti big enough to share! Thank you to staff for bringing out our little birthday cake!

Food was amazing and the staff were really helpful. Lovely surroundings. Would definitely recommend it.

It was a really lovely meal. The food was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Staff were amazing and attentive, even with it being an extremely busy Friday night.

Heard so many good reports of Bellini, so finally had the perfect opportunity to visit, celebrating the mother in laws birthday for lunch. Opted for the set menu, great value. My Penne Straganoff was devine as was everyone else's mood. Lovely ambience and first class service. We'll be back for dinner. A real Melton gem.

Read the reviews so decided to try this place and we were not disappointed. Great food, friendly service, sensible prices and a good place to be. The food was fresh, vibrant, well-presented and tasty and no freezer bag calamari, meat or fish. It's not often that you find a place like this so cherish it and use it. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, good staff, very child friendly. Managed to fit us in, 7 people, very short notice. No children’s menus but they do smaller portions and didn’t charge for an ice cream. Definitely would return.

Absolutely amazing food, no words to describe. Been there last night, we didnt booked in table but being settled nicely despite it was over booked (our bad that we did not reserve early) but luckily we were served. Fresh, delicious food. New furniture looks great. Definitely will back next week to show our family this beautiful restaurant in Melton :D :D

Good place to eat amazing food and good service

Lovely restaurant to celebrate a special birthday. Excellent food and service.

Excellent service from walking in the door. The food was absolutely fantastic. We had 3 courses, and they were all equally as good as each other, we will definitely be returning soon

We was looking for somewhere to eat, we was visiting Rutland. Found it online, just called in to see if they had table for four. They did. Staff very friendly, helpful. Food was excellent, service equally good. Very nice place. Well worth going to eat there. We found that most places in oakham where we was staying didn't sell Food on Mondays or was closed. But think we found a very good restaurant in the end.

An excellent meal, as always. Raphaelle and his staff were very attentive, as always. We will look forward to eating there again soon and hope to see Bruno back when he is able.

Visited for the first time last Saturday evening. Bigger inside than I expected having passed it from outside many times. All staff were very friendly and efficient. Good selection on the menu covering pasta, pizza, meat and fishes mains. The sirloin steaks were great as was the pollo picante. Considering how busy the place was the service and arrival of the food was really prompt. Would definitely visit again.

Very busy so definitely book plenty in advance, good food friendly staff absolutely no complaints

Very good food, excellent staff, smart clean restaurant, good menu, nice atmosphere. No fuss. This was just what we wanted.

Went for a birthday meal over the weekend. Fantastic atmosphere, really lovely food with good sized portions, good selection of beers and wines, really friendly staff. Brilliant experience

My husband and I only visited the area for a few days and we went to the local cinema and the staff recommended this Italian restaurant. We weren’t disappointed. The owner (we think?) who served us was charming as were all the staff. We ordered the pate and halloumi for starter. Because we weren’t super hungry, we just had carbonara for main and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. We were going to order two side salads but were told they were large and one might be enough (thankful for that recommendation as it was enough). Everything was delicious and the service was great, including the nice touch of bread, oil, and balsamic on the table.

First time eating here and wow, what a great experience. Staff are so welcoming and food was simply fantastic. The best Lasagne I’ve ever had? I think so. We will definitely be back.

First time visiting Bellini and it definitely won’t be our last. Quality food, lovely atmosphere, great wine and drinks and amazing service. Extremely well priced too. Highly recommend!!

Great food great prices, staff are always so friendly and welcoming. A really good menu something for everyone. We will be back very soon. Thank you

My favourite place. Clean and cosy. Exceptional food. Nice friendly service. Deserts are out of this world!

Absolutely amazing food. I had Risotto Misto. So tasty and just the right amount. Parmesan and black pepper offered. Food came out piping hot. Nice to see an open working kitchen. Service was quick. Everyone friendly and checking on you. Came in off the off chance and got seated. I Ordered Creme Brulee. It is lovely and served with a wafer. Will definitely be returning.

Have used many times and always the same quality

We met up with friends we hadn't seen since before lockdown. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our food was outstanding , we will certainly be returning.

Had the most delicious meal here, with my family to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was amazing, the service great and the atmosphere buzzing, a great restaurant, a real gem

This is a most friendly and welcoming restaurant. All staff are very polite and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and the food is absolutely delicious.

Really good food and great service by the staff, definitely recommend - food was flavourful and very nice, staff were friendly

Top restaurant In Melton area. I would like give six stars.

Fantastic food and excellent service as always. Highly recommend either the Halloumi or Pork Belly starters. Risotto for main was lovely too. Then to finish Tiramisu, Lemon Chessecake and Ice cream....amazing 😋Thank you 😊

We visited the restaurant for a birthday celebration. The staff were welcoming, cheerful and efficient. There was an extensive menu for all tastes. The food was well cooked and well presented.

9 of us had a wonderful meal on Saturday evening. Food was delicious, staff were very helpful and attentive. Catered for coeliac son in law. Considering the restaurant was very busy it wasn’t noisy. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend.

It was brilliant, the food, the waiters and everything about it. Very very good would 100% go again. They were friendly, open for a good laugh.

I've been here a few times over the years and it has always been consistently very good. It's often busy and therefore I would definitely recommend booking. Keep up the good work!

Just had the Christmas menu on a works night out - top quality three courses served by friendly staff in a lovely atmosphere. Can’t ask for much more than that can you ? Well done Bellini’s 👍🏼

Absolutely beautiful food, and plenty of it, relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff

Had an absolutely fantastic meal here a couple of weeks ago. The food was delicious, great value, very well presented and a really wide choice. The service was superb, attentive without being too intrusive, fast without feeling rushed. I thought my family must have tipped them off about it being my birthday meal as my desert came with a candle, but no, the waiter had just picked this up from an overheard comment and took the initiative. Well done to all.

Walked into a more than half empty restaurant with staff stood doing nothing. Asked if I had booked and was told they had people coming in. Sorry no. Come back in an hour. The staff on the floor with nothing to do looked on bewildered...

Called on spec and they squeezed us in. Friendly, attentive staff, fantastic food, freshly cooked and very tasty and can highly recommend. My monkfish from the specials board was superb. We indulged in the white chocolate profiteroles as well. Well worth a visit.

Delicious, reasonably-priced food and drink plus excellent service. Really enjoyable experience, we would love to return.

An excellent meal all round. Very enjoyable. If you want the best in Melton try Bellini. I endorse this Restaurant 100%. Friendly caring staff

As always Food was amazing as is the service. Normally go for the steak but went for the carbonara which was delicious and very filling.

We made a last minute decision to go to Bellini's for lunch before my partner had to catch a train. We did not book but we were given a table & made to feel very welcome despite the restaurant rapidly filling up. Everything about our...

Great restaurant, celebrated a family meal for seven there a week ago. Our first ever visit we will definitely come back. Great authentic menu with good choice, so much better than the Italian chain restaurants everywhere. Everyone in the family said the food was delicious....

Lovely place, outstanding food and the service is excellent. Real Italian food cooked by Italians in the middle of England. We are going to come back, no doubt about.

Pizza toppings were burnt to a crisp but they still served it to us.

We had a lovely meal here 2nd September. The food was fantastic, full of flavour, the portion sizes were generous and the staff were friendly, and efficient.

We just had a delicious lunch here. The food and service were excellent, and the meal was unbelievably good value!

Most welcoming, great table by the window fantastic starter, Calamari, followed by Lobster and prawns in a wonderful sauce

Visited on Saturday August 20th What a lovely restaurant, food amazing atmosphere perfect. Fantastic host and staff, nothing was to much trouble. Thank you for a lovely meal

From entering to leaving the staff were charming and so pleasant, happy to serve and happy to be there, the food is equally as good, garlic mushrooms in lemon, slight twist but very nice. Pizza picante was great, large pieces of salami cooked to perfection,...

It was lovely to return after Covid and see the same staff with smiles and a great welcome , the food as always was excellent and such a choice . Third visit with same friends who also enjoy it ,long May it continue.

Lovely experience from start to finish. Service is via a team of young women, who are very good indeed, especially considering their age. Food is great. We had a black pudding starter from the specials menu followed by papardelle stroganoff (main menu) and monkfish tails...

We visited this week for a team meal after work. 10 diners choosing from the set and a la carte menus between us. Our orders arrived quickly and everyone received as requested. Lovely service and food met expectations for the cost.

100% recommended for a great meal, great food, great service.

Loved the food though a bit pricey. Most importantly, I loved the romantic atmosphere in the restaurant

We were visiting Melton and booked ahead as the website looked good and the reviews were positive. I can confirm that all the good things others have said are absolutely true. We got a warm greeting, prompt service of drinks, enough time to look at...

This was our first visit to Melton, and we were looking for somewhere for a large family group could eat together. There were a couple of options near where we were staying, but I think we made a good choice. On booking, we were asked...
