Bellino Ristorante Italiano e Bottega

We had such a wonderful evening dining here recently. Everything from the appetizers to the main courses was prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh.

The calamari served with that rich dipping sauce was a standout for our table. We also thoroughly enjoyed the hearty pasta dishes, which were seasoned just right. We will definitely be coming back soon for another great meal.

Food was good. Our waitress Natalie was great as our server.
The fellas who tested us had a major attitude because we didn't have reservations.

My friend and I finally tried this place in corpus tonight. We started with an appetizer called pinsa alla chiara, it was decently good but very filling for 2 people to start and we also started with the bread which we would have preferred to be toasted but it was still amazing with the garlic oil. After we ordered our appetizers that was the last time we saw our server for 15-20 minutes. Our appetizers were even brought out by another server and we saw our server walk by us multiple times and never checked on us. Our menus were still on the table and we were looking around as Nikky approached us and helped us. She was amazing and basically took care of us the rest of the time. She was super welcoming and friendly. My friend got the polo al gorgonzola and i got the lasagna which was amazing! The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing and very chill. The food was great we were just a little disappointed about being left for so long. I would definitely try this place and recommend Nikky!

Wow. Food was excellent, in house made pasta and sauces. Ambiance was cozy. The wine/cocktail menu was vast. No beer on tap, bottles/cans poured in chilled glassware only.

Great experience from beginning to end at this restaurant. Greeted promptly, seated immediately and our orders were brought quickly. The food was excellent, we had the Burrata e Proscuitto to start which was delicious. The entrees were excellent as well, my wife had the Fettuccini alla Pescatora and I had the filet. Both were prepared absolutely perfectly. This is not a cheap place to dine but the food and service were impeccable.

Food was meh. Honestly, Pizza Hut has better food. The pizza was burnt, service took forever, the bread was tasteless, and the pasta was overcooked. Disappointing experience overall.

This was my first time trying this restaurant, and it was recommended by one of my favorite waitresses. The welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home as we walked in. Nikki warmly welcomed us to the table. She provided an overview of the menu, offered beverage recommendations, and allocated time for us to review the menu. We skipped the appetizers that immediately went for the bread on the table. I must say, it was incredible. I discovered that all the pasta and breads are made in-house. I was torn between ordering the Bolognese or the Italian sausage with spaghetti. Nikki suggested I order the Bolognese and add an Italian sausage. I op-ed for that recommendation, while my wife order the chicken palm with spaghetti. Hands down, the best Italian food in Corpus Christi. My wife said that was the best chicken prom she’s ever had, and by far one of the best Bolognese. This is a must-try. I understand this establishment has been here for some time, which is a shame because I haven’t been here sooner. We’ll definitely be coming back if you happen to come this way. Just ask for Nikki! She’s incredible!

Jaisha was the best server! Celebrated a surprise birthday. Had a mostly private room. We were able to decorate the room. Surprised at some of the charges (bread) and CC charges.

Thank you so much for taking care of us in our long overdue date night a couple of weeks ago! Chef Michael and I had a wonderful meal in a relaxing environment.

For our first time our server was Nikky, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and craft drinks! We trusted her with recommendations on our order and she did not disappoint! Appetizers were fantastic and not overly filling and everything was exquisite. The ambience of the restaurant was very intimate and relaxing! Since it was date night, she even recommended we visit next door for a night cap! Top tier service just made the experience a cherry on top of already incredible food.
