Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Brewerytown

Christian was an excellent waiter and we had a great dinner at this local place.

Dinner for 6 at Melograno’s was awesome! The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable (especially Marco). The food is amazing! We sampled salads, burrata, multiple pasta dishes and of course dessert. Everything was delicious. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our first time at Scampi. We know they are new and working on a big transition from 6 diners to ~24. All of the food was excellent (minus one under-seasoned addition that wasn't on the menu), and the storytelling was a wonderful and lively addition to each course. However, the service was very slow. Their single server had to leave within minutes of the seating to go to the store to get something for the kitchen, and we were left without the ability to even ask for an ice bucket for our bottle of white wine. We proceeded to get very tipsy trying to drink it before it got warm, because the first course from the menu was not delivered until 40 minutes after we had been seated. From there the food was coursed pretty well, but again the one server was so busy cleaning up plates all the time that they never asked us if needed anything, how we were finding the food, etc. I hope that with time and more revenue they have the chance to smooth out the service, because when they do this place is gonna be rockin!!

Second time at Bellinini, my husband and I love the food. Great selection with good prices. Nice atmosphere and restaurant is clean, always an added bonus. Our server was ok Did what he had to do, rattled off the specials in record time, made no attempt to make us feel welcomed or thank us for dining there.

Excellent experience. Great service outstanding food. Great special apps.
