Bellini - Madison

We tried Bellini last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The setting is very unique. The restaurant is located in what was originally a church. Stained glass windows, vaulted archways, soaring ceilings, heavy wooden chairs and tables all trace back to it origins. We were greeted at the hostess stand and ushered to a booth. It was a little tight sliding into the booth around the legs of the table but once seated it was very comfortable. There are a few lights on the walls and they lit a candle at the table. It's a romantic setting but it makes it hard to read the menu. (You may have to use your phone as a flashlight.) Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. She brought us bread and dipping oil and took our drink orders. The bread had a great crust and hearty texture. I thought the oil was particularly tasty, perhaps it was infused. For dinner we had the fettuccine which was tossed with Italian sausage and proscuitto in white wine cream sauce and the rigatoni piccoli which was tossed with Italian sausage, meatballs and marinara sauce. One thing that really stood out for me was that the amount of sauce on each dish was perfect. Usually pasta is either swimming in sauce or I'm wishing there was more to coat each piece of pasta. This was exactly the right amount and all of the flavors were perfect. The texture of the pasta was spot-on and the spices in the sausage and meatballs were amazing. At the end of our meal we were full but not bloated. After our meal, about the time we were just starting to wonder if our waitress might have forgotten us, she appeared, apologized profusely for not having been there earlier and told us she was comping our drinks. We hadn't even said anything but were amazed by this level of consideration. For the atmosphere, the amazing food, and the thoughtfulness of our waitress, I have to give Bellini's the best rating and highly recommend it. We will definitely return when we want Italian food.
