££££Price: Expensive • Italian • Moreton-In-Marsh
My partner and I like to eat out, mainly because we both work from home and we need a change of scene at the weekend. That said, we are blessed to live in the Cotswolds, so there is not shortage of places to enjoy a lovely lunch or a an evening dinner and Bellini in Moreton In Marsh has turned out to be a fabulous find. The whole evening was just perfect, from the moment we arrived, to settling our bill after a superb array of food and lovely wine. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly and chatty, if you like that kind of thing, but equally we noticed they're happy to respect your privacy, if you want to be left to your own time together. Bellini describes itself as a traditional Italian restaurant, with a carefully crafted menu of dishes, which I discovered are leagues ahead of the usual pasta based fodder you tend to see in many places, especially chains. The venue is modern, warm and cosy, with a great ambience, enabling you to quickly relax and enjoy the experience. We will definitely be back and if you live nearby, or are visiting, then I can confidently recommend you paying them a visit. For the quality of the food and wine, then your visit won't dent your wallet too much either.
