Not what I expected. The sandwiches are NOTHING like a real NYC hero sandwich. The roll used is nothing like a real Italian bread one might get in an Italian deli in Brooklyn or the Bronx. I threw out the bread and just ate the cutlet. That was ok. not juicy and not covered with real Italian tomato sauce and real melting mozzerella. The counter people could make no modifications to the fixed selection choices. So no substitutions. That was OK, because they were otherwise very polite.

Very generous portions. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was OK. A bit loud and chairs were uncomfortable.

There is no way that this restaurant would pass an inspection. The latham location has gone completely down hill. The countertop they prepare your food on was filthy, covered in bread crumbs. The workers were touching everything with the same pair of gloves on. Lots of cross contamination. I walked right out! The site of a dirty kitchen and workers throwing wet noodles in a bowl completely grossed me out. Definitely lost a loyal customer.

Latham location has gone so downhill. The workers were so unhappy to be there and just threw the bowl together with barely any sauce and undercooked pasta and chicken.. the restaurant was a mess, and my food was nowhere near what it used to be.

Their breadsticks were so dry and much smaller than pictured, the floors are filthy, and it’s so dark inside makes me wonder if it’s to cover up dirty tables and floors

Went there for the first time ever on 4/20 for the pack a bowl special. I thought the promotion was really clever. I had been wanting to go for a while and I couldn’t pass up a deal like that. The line was long and I was really impressed by how fast it moved. That and I’m sure the staff was stressed but they were all so friendly. Now let’s get to the food.. I got the rigatoni with vodka sauce and sausage. I love all of the topping options they had available. I got grilled veggies extra vodka sauce and grated parm. It was my intention to only try it and then have the rest of it the next day. Welp I couldn’t stop my self and ate half of the bowl haha! The vodka sauce was great. They also gave out coupon cards for 4/20 bounce back 25% off a sub so guess who’s going back there already. Even without the discount I will be coming more often! 10/10 recommend this place!
Dietary restrictions: Salads wraps and whole wheat pasta available. Roasted veggies are great all on their own.

The food is amazing but we had ordered food on DoorDash too go and pick it up, and when we got there we waited 45 minutes too a hour for our food, there was one guy who made all the food while two young girls sat there and just fooled around which I thought was ridiculous. Never have I ever had too wait that long for a take out order they weren’t even busy. They were very rude the two girls especially. It just shows that they don’t care. And it was very rude and disrespectful. Maybe don’t have teenagers run your restaurant or if you do train them better. We were absolutely robbed and pissed off should’ve gotten free food. We ordered it at 6:30 and got there at 6:40 and waited another hour for our food when it said it was ready. Safe too say we were pissed off.

I like really good Italian, and even bad Italian. Bellini’s has increasingly gone down hill to now being inedible. Their meatballs used to be just ok. Tonight, the meatballs were far from ok. They seemed to be made strictly of bread and the texture was off putting. The weak vodka sauce and chewy pasta didn’t help the meatball situation. One bite of a meatball and the pasta was enough to throw the entire large bowl in the trash. I won’t be ever going here again and would suggest you try ANYwhere instead of Bellini’s counter in Latham.

Went here for lunch on a weekday with two really awesome people. This was my first time going here. I really liked the bowl options. I basically had a Caesar salad bowl but you can customize whatever you want and they had a lot of options to choose from. We ate inside and that area was nice too. Prices were reasonable and the portions were a pretty good size. Overall I was happy with the experience. Would recommend trying it out if you've never been.
Picked up takeout great selection service was very good and food

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bellini’s Counter for lunch, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. It's not often that you consider Italian food for a midday meal, but the food at Bellinis Counter was really great and the staff was kind and helpful. The highlight for me was their Chicken Cutlet Wrap, transformed into a Caesar salad version. If you're in search of a good lunch spot, I highly recommend! It’s kind of like Core Life for people who enjoy Italian (with high quality food). Parking was also easy which can be a challenge at some lunch spots in Latham.

Our first and probably last time at this Latham location. The place was dirty and the person at the counter preparing my wife's salad was cleaning the counter and the went to get a big bin of green salad then started to load food into my wife's container with her hands. She never changed the gloves, she used the same dirty gloves to handle chicken and the salad. We started gagging and left the restaurant.Note: Please train your help to change gloves every time they handle food or have them use the tongs.
