Since opening in April 2015, Bellino Trattoria Siciliana has prepared traditional Sicilian dishes from owner Francesco Inguaggiato's childhood, and starting this weekend, the Pearl District restaurant will serve brunch Saturdays and Sundays starting at 11 a.m.
As the menu below shows, Bellino will stick to its Sicilian guns and offer several frittata options, as well as lighter lunch dishes, such as spaghetti carbonara, eggplant parmesan, and salads. So don't arrive expecting chicken and waffles.
Additionally, Bellino Trattoria Siciliana will now be open Mondays for the "Francesco’s Festa Italiana" dinner series. Each Monday, the restaurant will deviate from its Sicilian menu and offer a special multi-course menu of dishes from other Italian regions. Each course will feature two to three options, with a few of Inguaggiato's favorite Sicilian dishes appearing, too. In terms of getting a table, Bellino will accept both reservations and walk-ins per usual on Mondays.
