Bellanico, Oakland, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Especially tasteful with amazing, simple presentation of each special element, reasonable portions. Try dinner tasting menu as a start!

Food:

Pros:
- pork shoulder confit panini (mmm so tender and delicious)
- bombolini (fried dough covered in sugar with chocolate and sage dipping sauces)
- duck confit hash (I am a sucker for good meat + potatoes)
- cool atmosphere and good service
- server altered the dessert sampler for us since we had already ordered one of the desserts it contains

Cons:
- too far from me and only street parking available :(
- food is just a teeny weeny bit on the oily side (but not enough to deter me!)

Bottom line: favorite brunch in Albany! Everyone I've taken here has found something to love. GOOO

Food:

overpriced with small portions. waiter helpful with menu but never came back after food was served. Small and crowded inside. 26 dollars for beef belly 3oz which was only a boneless short rib which was overcooked and dry..where's the polenta? gnocchi flavorless with no hardly no sauce..Had to ask waiter for parmesan cheese. Ohhh the arugula salad was yummy for 10 dollars..Geezz..

Food:

I cannot begin to write about how delicious the food is here, I will just get hungry all over again (and I just hand lunch). Bellanico as a neighborhood gem with carefully curated menu of food and drink, not to mention great service. Not to be missed.

Food:

Fresh, italian inspired california cuisine. The wine pairings are a treat. They consistently surprise.
