Look no further than Bellini's Restaurant for a taste of Italian culinary tradition.

Bellini features an outdoor space characterized by small low tables with sets of wooden benches that are ideal for drinking wine with friends.
The name Smoke on the Water is a good hint of what this bar serves its clientele.

Their cigars are incredible, and the staff is warm and friendly.
