There is always something special that happens when we gather around a table and share great food, laughs, tears, and love. We spent many years developing our recipes-cooking for friends and family and sharing our heritage through our creations. It was our dream to open a restaurant and invite the community to our table. That dream came to fruition when our family opened Bellino’s Restaurant on May 25th, 2004 in Alexandria, Louisiana. Three generations strong, our success over the last sixteen years is due to our great employees, loyal customers, close friends, and family.
On March 14, 2020, our doors closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To adapt to the pandemic, we have revised and finalized a new model for our restaurant operation, “back to the basics”. In the early 1930s, our family owned a neighborhood grocery store on Lee Street in Alexandria, Louisiana supplying fresh local products to the community. In support of local vendors, we will incorporate a grocery-style marketplace offering fresh local products and our traditional restaurant items. We are offering limited dine-in seating at the bar where you can still enjoy the exclusivity of one of our signature cocktails or a glass of wine. Our food menu has been condensed to selected favorites from our previous menu, but we will promote weekly specials with limited supply per request from our customers as we reopen. We appreciate all the love and support during this transition.
We invite you back to join our family to “Eat, Relax and Enjoy”!
hang in there.. love from cousin Frankie in Florida!!
