Attractive Italian Restaurant within Cardiff city centre. Lovely friendly attentive staff. Really nice ambience with a varied menu which is very reasonably priced. Our dining experience was made memorable and food was presented well. Will definitely be returning here and highly recommend

Food ok. Service slow. Waiting 20 minutes after getting the desert menus and being forgotten until going to the bar to get someone is not great. Would not go again.

Have had a few disappointing visits to another well known Italian in Cardiff and was looking for an alternative. First visit to Bellinis. We all enjoyed our food. My Carbonara was the best I’d had in a long while.Staff were friendly and excellent service. All round good Italian meal.

Came to Bellini's for a casual drink and dinner with my partner and our friend, our spontaneous Saturday afternoon quickly turned sour when our main courses arrived- my partner's risotto was very clearly microwaved and was so hot that it caused a blistering burn on her tongue. When I mentioned this to Valentino, a smirk appeared on his face, looking down his nose he snapped 'well what do you expect me to do about it?" not waiting for my response, he continued to lecture me about how rice should be cooked and that it was my partners fault for not checking her plate before consumption, despite no staff member advising us on the heat of the dish, which, having worked in hospitality and hospitality management myself for a number of years, I know to be fundamentally wrong and against customer safeguarding regulations. I was shocked at the disgusting, patronising and condescending manner of which he spoke, I know it was not his fault my partner has injured herself, but the fact that there was no responsibility taken, or apology made, that I was spoken over and belittled is unacceptable, I advise anyone who reads this, and wants to remain able to consume hot food for 24 hours after their dinner, not venture into Bellini's.

Bellini's has really deteriorated in terms of service, atmosphere and food. The staff were disinterested in customers. Service was slow, despite there being few others in the restaurant. Everything had to be asked for, there was a lack of attention. The food was very average. The menu was poor, particularly in terms of vegetarian options. It is unfortunate as it used to be really good a number of years ago. We shan't be returning.

Lovely pre-theare lunch, opposite the New Theatre. NCP Car parking also very close although pricey Lunch- pre theatre menu. £17.95 for 2 courses. Plenty of choice. We had bruscetta and garlic mushrooms, then chicken in white wine sauce and fries for lunch. All very tasty and filling. Could have been a little bit warmer but was delicious all the same. My father has trouble going upstairs and there was a disabled toilet located downstairs which was very good. Main toilets were upstairs. Good atmosphere, friendly staff Would recommend for pre-theatre.

Faultless, food was exceptional and reasonably priced. Service was again, exceptional. Three waitresses going over and above, also the chef came to the table to see if everything was OK. My wife was unsure what to order as a main and was tempted by the lamb meatballs but not sure if the lamb would be too rich, when they brought the starter they also brought four of the meatballs in a separate dish for her to try, they were delicious and made her mind up. Lovely chilled atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Bellini's is the perfect place for something a little more fancy but not bank breaking. The food was great and the service was like a perfect team working together. The Carbonara I had was really good, which is rare at restaurants. Portions are generous and well priced. The venue itself is a bit basic though which is sadly why it's not a 5 star. Will definitely be coming again! Perfect for a chill dining in experience.

Excellent homemade lasagne BUT was a tiny portion, about a ravioli size and came with nothing - no dressing, no garlic bread (garlic bread wasn't even on the menu), no fries. It was that small! It was expensive at £15.95. Three of us ate here and we were all hungry when we left - late evening for a 4 hr journey home.

My bruschetta and lasagne were OK, nothing special, but my husband's veal saltimbocca was excellent, as was his raspberry sorbet. The tables are spaced widely enough apart that we could easily hear each other throughout dinner. OTOH, the waitress was somewhat rude; and my husband didn’t notice that he was charged for a *bottle* of wine, instead of the glass that he’d had. When we complained, they gave us a credit; but we wondered about that waitress...

My wife and I called into Bellini's prior to going to the nearby New Theatre. I hadn't booked a table because we hadn't decided where we were going to eat. The restaurant was quite full, but they managed to find us a table, on the understanding that they would need it in an hour. That wasn't a problem for us. We opted for the pre-theatre 2-course menu for £17.50 each. As we chose risotto and carbonara it had to be washed down with a quintessential bottle of Italian wine. The service was friendly, fast and efficient. The food, faultless. All in all, worth the added but optional 10% service charge. We departed to a cheery arrivederci. When I return, and i will return, I will book a table. Thank you Bellini's.

Quite disappointed with this restaurant. We went in on spec as needed somewhere to eat before a concert. On first glance the place looked quite classy and stylish. The staff are very friendly but the food sadly was average or ok at best. It wasn't expensive, but we have had better food at cheaper prices. If you have time, I'd suggest looking round for other places.

Enjoyed a very nice meal at Bellini’s with very pleasant staff and lasagne to die for ! Only criticism is that the whitebait starter was very very small and we were only offered the pre theatre menu when it was after 6 and we wanted the a la carte menu.Perhaps they could offer both to people after 6.I should have asked them before we ordered but they were so busy that I didn’t like to and the choice on the pre theatre menu was pretty good anyway.Lovely food and we would visit again.

I had the set menu plus a dessert. I would come back. The food flavours and presentation were excellent. There were issues with my starter not being hot enough and the risotto was over cooked. However, the starter was replaced swiftly and the fabulous flavours really outweighed the consistency of the risotto. Our waitress was very good. There were arguments between staff during service, but perhaps this is the Italian passionate nature! The toilets were excellent. The dessert was fantastic. I would recommend Bellini and look forward to returning. The pre theatre set menu was great value.
