I have eaten here before and wasn’t horribly impressed (as the hype led me to believe I should be) so I decided to try it again to make sure. Service is phenomenal. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Bread is authentic Italian style. Roasted garlic in the oil is a nice touch. The menu is limited…especially at lunch (was told after the fact that anything on the dinner menu could be ordered as well). Basic dishes – lots of pasta and sauce…. Tried the Tonno (tuna) Trapanese – seemed to be the only thing standing out on the lunch menu. Aside from the tuna, which didn’t taste fresh, the dish was very tasty but overly salty. I didn’t eat half the tuna. Was told everything was made in house but that’s not true for the pasta, and when questioned about the overly firm cannoli shell, found out they order the shells from different distributers elsewhere…sometimes come in frozen. Still, the filling was good – sweeter than traditional cannoli but using actual ricotta and not some super sweet cream concoction you typically get at a chain restaurant. While this place wouldn’t make it in Little Italy, here in Corpus it’s as Italian as it gets. Over all, quaint, reasonable pricing, decent food, worth trying out for yourself.

Friendly, warm atmosphere, servers learn your name and what your favorite food and wine are, like a locally owned place should! We have eaten here for years, food is always fresh, beautifully prepared and delicious! They serve fresh bread with a garlic infused dipping oil and an organic salad or homemade soup come with your entrees! The desserts and coffees are a must, so save room! They have a wonderful wine list and traditional Italian fare. We are always full and happy when we leave and recommend Bellinos to all our friends and out of town guest! Its a must try for everyone!

First time for us, the food was VERY good !!!!, staff was nice, wine was a little pricey 10.00 a glass for chardonnay, everything was nice till the end, asked for containers for leftovers, and the server insisted to take them in the back said it was restaurants policy, spoke with manager on the phone found out this not true, will go back but never the same server. (My friend worked as a server for many years said never let them take your food to the back to put them in containers, do you really think if they drop your food, there going to have your dish remade ?)

Simply amazing! If you love food, go here. Cozy setting, efficient and friendly staff and good pricing is only the start. The food quality was above and beyond expectations! Best bruschetta classico we have ever had and the spaghetti Bolognese had exactly the same great taste as my husband had in Italy. Truly a gem of a restaurant, and our server Amanda was so genuine and warm. This is an instant favorite for return visits!!

Enjoyed our evening at cats. We had five children and 4 adults. Very entertaining nice setting. Food was average. Childrens plates were cold when they got to the table. Ours were fine but not special. We did wait about 2 hours maybe one and a half hours to get served. Glad we went dont know that we would return

Coming from an Italian family where grandma handmade everything from the sauce to the pasta, this place is a gem! Delicious doesnt begin to describe the bolognese sauce. From the outside strip mall location, you dont think it will be very impressive, but you step inside to a completely different atmosphere.

Too expensive, service was bad and tip of $10 is included in your check. Food wasnt great, we got there on a Friday night and it wasnt crowded, it took 45 minutes to get our plates. Plates are not really good and too expensive. I personally wouldnt recommend this place.

My food was pretty bland. I had high expectations from the reviews. The sauce had barely any flavor except it was extremely bitter. I got chicken parm which I get at every Italian restaurant I go to, and was very disappointed. Will not be returning.

Their alfredo was to _die_ for! Small: family-owned, limited seating, reservations recommended. Chef is meticulous/perfectionist, which produces amazing food! Family recipes and new culinary creations. Business-casual to dressy attire.

Super sweet staff. Menu items are very typical and really nothing special about my meal. I feel like theyre missing heart in the back of the house. Unless you want to hang around old money, decor and old menus, Id keep looking.

We love this place! Its dark and soothing. We feel like we are back in Europe. The food is amazing and the wine. One thing we like about this place is that the servers love their job. Feels like a family business.

It has such a warm and peaceful atmosphere coupled with some of the best Italian food we have ever eaten (and we eat Italian cuisine multiple times a week). We will definitely be returning on our next trip.

Delicious! Great Staff! The lasagna was delicious and the filtered water was a plus! The staff were super friendly and I love the recent remodeling they did to the restaurant and bar area.

Amanda was a great waitress. All her recommendationa were spot on and delicious. We had fish and the vegetarian lasgna. Both were wonderful. Also, the cappuccino and Tiramisu were heaven.

Love Bellinos!!! Favorite Italian restaurant in Corpus Christi! The owner is from Palermo and brings his traditional preparation of authentic Sicilian food to our community.

The food is delicious and mostly authentic (excluding the alfredo sauce), but a bit pricey. I would say go for happy hour to enjoy the more reasonable portions and prices.

We love this little Italian restaurant. Just a mom and pop kinda place. But, the food is excellent and the low key atmosphere is perfect.
