Why hello dearest readers, I am updating the blog with this post before I give birth in the next couple of days! I apologize for the long break since my last post, I am sure some of you will understand those pregnancy woes :-p
I was really happy when I learned from one reader (thanks, Charo!) that Bellini's reopened in Marikina, beside Save More in Bayan - very accessible! When I found the time to squeeze a food trip in my schedule, I invited my Mom for lunch at Bellini's.
More interior shots in a while... meanwhile, my order arrives and I enjoy:
Now, time for more shots of the restaurant:
Beside Save More Bayan, near Marikina Health Center

Awww a heart-shaped grissini
The main doors
Some grissini you can munch on while waiting for your order
Look at that wall painting! I love Florence :-)
More interior shots in a while... meanwhile, my order arrives and I enjoy:
Pesto with Seafood Pasta! :-) Sorry guys, I forgot to take photos of the menu so I don't have the price at hand. One serving is good for one hungry person, or two not-so-hungry persons. :-)
Mom orders the Tiramisu because she had lunch already, my invite came too late! Haha. How beautiful is that thing?!
Mom immediately digs into the dessert and says it tastes even better than it looks... Ah I would love to go back to Bellini's for this! I am also a big fan of their Shoe Expo branch in Cubao.
Now, time for more shots of the restaurant:
The bar
The couches near the dessert station. I love it!
There's a piano too :-)
Tables are set up for both big and small groups
Look! Complimentary Vin Santo (dessert wine) to cap off our meal. Too bad I can't take alcohol because I'm preggers :-p I just had a little sip though!
The best part of it all: the whole gang is in the house!!! That's Mr. Bellini himself in the middle. I am so blessed to have met him again, and spoken to him in Italian (thought I was getting rusty, haha)
This photo was taken by Mr. Bellini (who is also a photographer, by the way) using my camera. I am so honored!!!
Located just beside Save More, the restaurant is not so hard to find :-)
See you again soon Mr. Bellini! I'll make sure I'll order Carpaccio!!

I'd love to visit this place soon! :) Glad they reopened their Marikina branch! :)
ReplyDeletehi Mich, I was sad when closed their first branch in Marikina. Now I am more than happy to have a Bellini's near our home. Yey!
DeleteHi Roni! Wishing you a safe and easy delivery :)
ReplyDeleteI've been your blog quite a while since I'm a proud Marikena too. :) I always pass the area of Save More and I kept wondering if this is the same Bellini in Bayan. Glad to know from you that it is.
that's great to know Diane, hope you enjoy your visit to Bellini's!
DeleteHi roni! April's almost ending and I remember you told me that you're due April. I hope you have (had?) a safe and not-so-painful labor and delivery. Me and my husband have been thinking about trying the new Bellini's. I think their location now is much better than the old one. More parking space. :)
ReplyDeletehi Margaux, that's so sweet of you! I am now enjoying every single day with my little man ;-) On Bellini's, hope you visit them soon! the place is so nice, and the food is superb. And yes, more parking space too! :-) thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteHi Roni,
ReplyDeleteWould you know what time Bellini's closes on weekdays? Would appreciate any info you have.
Thanks.

DeleteI'm glad to have found this blog of yours.... Do you happen to know if Mr. Bellini still have any job vacancies? I really want to be part of Bellini's restaurant.
ReplyDeletehi Kiz! thanks for your message. :-) I am not sure about job openings, but it would do no harm if you try calling up the resto ;-) Mr. Bellini is there often, anyway :-) God bless!

ReplyDeleteawww thanks so much for your message! and thank you for recommending Hannsmat, will include that in my list! Cheers!
DeleteHi Roni! Do you happen to know where can i find the menu for this resto? I really want to know the prices of their food. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeletegood evening! I do not have the menu of their Marikina branch, but you can visit this link (it's their Cubao branch menu), the prices are more or less the same :-)
Deletehttp://www.munchpunch.com/bellinis-cubao/menu
Enjoy!
hi how to get here from cubao? thanks
ReplyDeletehi there! from Cubao, you can take SSS-bound or Parang-bound jeepneys or FX. It's best to ask Manong driver if he will pass in front of Save More Bayan (sometimes they take another route kasi). If yes, get on board. Remind Manong driver to drop you off Save More. When you reach Save More, get off and walk to Bellini's restaurant. It's on the left side of Save More :-)
DeleteI'm sorry .I am a little confused. Is the restaurant still inside cubao expo? or have they relocated their establsihment somewhere in marikina? unfortunately I'm not too familiar about marikina, so please pardon my ignorance.
ReplyDeletehi there! :-) I am not sure about their Cubao Shoe Expo branch, but I can assure you that the one in Marikina (beside Save More Bayan) is open :-) thanks so much for dropping by!
