    Rude staff, inedible meatballs: Image you want to have a nice meal with your family at a place you’ve been to 10+ times. This time, however, your regular meatballs come out hard, chewy and funny tasting. You nicely request a replacement. It happens. Two rude waitresses show up and tell you that you could wait 40 minutes for a new batch of meatballs or they can take them off the bill. Your kids are hungry and need their protein. You also if they can offer anything else. Shrimp or chicken. The waitresses rudely explain that there is a price difference we would have to pay. Oh and they never apologized for the meatballs in the first place. Treated our family in a condescending manner. We will not be back which is sad because we used to love this place and recommend it to all our friends.

    This was my first time trying Bellina. The pasta is made fresh and the dishes are really yummy. The only issue I saw was the small portion size. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and it came with only 7 pieces of ravioli. The food was not filling for me, especially not for the price. I was still hungry afterwards. I’ve been to other Italian restaurants where their portions sizes can be enough to where you need to take left overs home. But overall, the food and drink selections are good.

    Omg! Me and my husband sat at the bar and it was our 22nd Anniversary together. These three people made our experience all that and some. Bartenders Ariel, Jamie and we never got the third bartender name but we named her Slim (she has the nice dreads). When I tell you they are so professional, nice and attentive. If y’all go make sure you say (Shay & Sunshine) highly recommended you all! The pasta GREAT! The drinks AWESOME! It’s a vibe for sure!

    Had the meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. I had the eggplant lasagna and I loved the crunchy topping. The sauce made the dish great too. My girlfriend had the Insalata Mista and didn't like the dressing and too much spinach. Great service.

    I found the carbonara good, not impressed so much with the artichokes but maybe is just me. Prices are very affordable, service is fine, ambiance is nice, they have also a, great wine section. Overall a good place and value.

    Certainly one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to and the closest thing to fine dining you will find at Ponce City Market. They feature a full à la carte menu with à variety of delicious pasta dishes and a fairly extensive wine and cocktail menu. Portions are larger than they appear and one entre is definitely large enough for one person, even if it may not appear so initially. I had the polpo - squid ink pasta with braised octopus and calamari in a spicy tomato sauce - with a medium body red wine and a piece of their focaccia bread and enjoyed every bit of my meal! I would have changed nothing about the meal I was served, which is a rarity for me. The service was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The decor inside seemed nice but I chose to sit outside since the weather was nice. Sitting outside may not be for everyone since there can be a lot of foot traffic and homeless people asking for money. The prices are definitely not cheap with my meal, for one person, after tip coming out to almost $50. I will certainly be back though.

    Solid Italian fare in a relaxed environment with friendly service. It’s a great place to people watch bustling about the Ponce City Market. The Georgia Shrimp with green garlic tagliatelle, lemon, herbs, gremolata and Parmesan was hearty without feeling too heavy. The Carbonara was fantastic. Again, it was hearty without feeling too heavy because of the Bucatini. The roasted potatoes were crispy and delicious, with a lot of garlic. A nice way to spend a some time while sipping wine.

    Great restaurant, friendly staff, good atmosphere. The food looks and sounds amazing, but the actual taste of the food was a bit of a letdown. It was good, don't get me wrong, but the atmosphere, descriptions on the menu, and seeing the presentation of the food - all built up the expectation for me and I guess I just expected too much. It's good Italian food, it just isn't as great as I thought it would be.

    PONCE CITY MARKET Food Adventure Part 1! PCM is a whole beast all on its own for any foodies, so we are slowly making ourselves through all of them. 🍴 Today we checked out the Italian restaurant Bellina. This unique Italian restaurant is versatile, half of the restaurant is self serve and the other half is dine in. We opted for the dine in bc we had questions and wanted to see what the restaurant is all about. There was problem right from the beginning, the computer system was down but after a small wait we were seated. The server greeted us and began telling us about how most of the ingredients used are house made including most of the pasta. 🍝 We stared off with the Pane E Olive and the Burrata salad. Absolutely MUST GET! The bread was so nice and fluffy and the strawberries with the fresh mozzarella was superb! For entrees we got the Carbonara and Ragú. I personally liked the Carbonara the best, with the small pieces of bacon and not to saucy. We didn’t get any cocktails or wine due to the fact the it was during Lent that we checked it out but they did have a cocktail menu which we plan to go back and try. 🥂 There is no complimentary parking but there is a parking deck attached to the building. Parking ranges $8 and up depending upon on how much time you plan on staying. As I’m a big Italian fan, this place did not disappoint.🍕 As the Italians say this place was Deliziozo!

    This food is absolutely delicious! We worked our way through the Antipasti menu with the meatballs—so savory and the burrata-it just softly fell apart! The pastas are freshly made in house and perfectly cooked Al dente with wonderful sauces that compliment without overwhelming. The ragu is bursting with meaty flavor and the carbonara is creamy without being too rich. Highly recommend! Great prices and large servings.

    Fresh made pasta was very good. Spicy ink squid rigatoni with octopus also good. Highly recommended if you visit Ponce City market.

    Tried this place as they have gluten free pasta. Now, granted, I’m dairy free and gluten free, two key ingredients of many Italian dishes, so my order likely isn’t popular. I got the shrimp pasta dish, GF, no cheese. I thought the noodles were still too crunchy, not cooked enough. Not enough sauce on it, but also a bit on the salty end. My friend ordered the lasagna which she said was delicious! She also had the Pane Olive ($8), House-baked schiacciata bread that came with marinated olives and olive oil - that looked divine!! Oh to be gluten free Overall, I’d say it’s over priced for what you get. My GA shrimp dish was $26 with tax, pre tip. And leaves you wanting more. I’d recommend a’mano over this place

    Literally the best Italian meal I’ve had in the states thus far. From starts to the desserts. Definitely worth the trip if you’re a resident or just visiting. Everything is made in the restaurant fresh and you can buy a great majority of the items to take home.

    DELISH!!!!! Wow!!! So yummy and food came out fresh and quick!! It’s just a bit pricey, but I understand why. I also wish there was bruschetta on the menu, I bet it would be great. The lasagna and burrata were just great, I’d go back anytime my budget allows.

    Wow what a meal! Not only was the food great there was no hang time before all my meals were in front of me! The staff were attentive and kind too! I wish I could come more often!

    With so many options available in Ponce Market this was by far one of the best decisions for the day. Joseph was truly a delight and ensured that the needs of the table were met. Quality food, stellar service and an overall good experience. I’m officially full….

  • 5/5 Cindy H. 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Looks unassuming and you have to wait in line at the register first in order to see the menu, even before seating so it makes the line long and ordering slow. Our cashier was nice. I will state that we were given a number and told to what section to seat ourselves because we did not know there was a wine gallery seating option available since it wasn’t offered to us. We only saw the hanging sign around the corner after ordering and then asked about it. One thing to note & PAY ATTENTION TO: a tip is assumed and added automatically if you don’t take your time on the screen when ordering! Why have to tip if you’re not using the wine gallery option, have to seat yourself & no one serves you throughout your meal? Once we ordered and seated ourselves, the wait wasn’t too incredibly long. Now….the food….AMAZING!! Fresh bread & homemade pasta! Big enough portions too. Unfortunately they were out of three main dishes so one member of our party didn’t get what they were hoping for, but still very much enjoyed their meal. The cannoli was good and the tiramisu fair. Dine in cups for water are small but that’s expected, however, the glass for sweet tea was small too, lowball sized (but it should be a standard tall glass for the price). Because of the quality & taste of the food we would definitely return. For that alone I am giving it 5 stars.

    The meatballs were great! I would've like mine cooked a bit longer. I did not try the spaghetti, but if you're with a friend get both and share them. Another patron close by had the spaghetti and it looked really good. This place gets packed rather quickly. I sat at the bar, the female bartender was definitely putting on a show and the drinks were great. The male bartender, however was overwhelmed. I would definitely come back.

    This was my second visit while in Atlanta at the Ponce Center. I had a repeat of the Italian Panino, which was was just as I remembered. High quality meats and cheeses as expected. My husband had the Polpo, which was the squid ink pasta and braised octopus. That might be by new favorite. Polenta is always so creamy and to the tooth. We ate too much but finished it off with a shared panna cota for dessert. All fresh and worth the price.

    This restaurant was so good. They were quick and authentic Italian food. You can even take home fresh uncooked pasta for later usage.

  • 5/5 Mariana P. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the 2 best Italian restaurants in Atlanta. This restaurants is a true gem in the city. Their quality ingredients are their secret. We love love you guys. Amazing Food! I just brought my out of town family to try it and they were amazed.

  • 5/5 Aminah F. 5 months ago on Google
    The Georgia Shrimp is my go to when I visit Bellina Alimentari! I love that they use fresh ingredients and their pasta is made in house.

  • 5/5 Michelle N. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was simply divine! Our servers were personable and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was clean and cozy. Will definitely return!

    We absolutely loved our Amaro tasting with David! There was some miscommunication with the online scheduling but the manager was super kind and apologized and had us seated immediately. David, the bartender, previously owned an Amaro bar in Seattle and was so knowledgeable on the history and intricacies of amari. We didn’t expect to taste such unique amari, which was a pleasant surprise. The focaccia was also delicious and I absolutely loved being able to have an amaro infused cocktail at the end. We absolutely loved the experience and we’re already planning on doing another one. David also gave us a list of his favorite Amari and a local liquor store nearby to find the best selection (Elemental) to stock our home bar. We also saw a group doing the pasta making class and it looked intimate and fun! Maybe we’ll do that one next.

  • 5/5 Terry B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice ambience and tasty food. This was our first time at PCM and we chose Bellina because it was the nicest looking sit down option in the food area. We were happy with our choice. I got a side salad and eggplant lasagna. My husband had the fingerling potatoes and a pasta dish with meat.

  • 4/5 Tiffany S. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the seasonal watermelon sangria. It was refreshing and a fair size. It came out a little while before my food so I had time to take a few sips before my lunch. For lunch I had a side salad and the meatballs. The salad was a decent size. I felt it had ample dressing but the vinaigrette seemed to need seasoning. You can see there's a large slice of radish on top in the picture but I didnt get to taste it. I was excited about so of course I dropped the whole thing on the table. My main course was the polpette al sugo (meatballs). You only get 4 but those were really good. The bread did have a bit of olive oil on top but worked very well to pick up the remaining sauce after I finished the meatballs. You could taste that they put effort into seasoning both the meatballs and the sauce. I'd definitely go back for those.

    Amazing food!! Had salsiccia! The place is a little bit darker but atmosphere was there. Definitely going back. The drink was a bit expensive.

  • 5/5 Yaelin V. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the ONLY place I come to for pasta. It is sooo good. The GA shrimp, polpo, and carbonara are SUPERB! They never fail to make my stomach happy. The service here is always good too. The panna cotta is a great dessert choice here.

  • 3/5 A 1 year ago on Google
    Not the best or worst pasta I’ve tried, but a great place for a nice meal at Ponce. There wasn’t anything special about my carbonara, but it was still delicious! If you’re at Ponce and need a place to eat, I would recommend Bellina! I enjoyed the meal here more than other places within the building. Note: Service wasn’t great either, just okay. They were quick with the food, though.

  • 5/5 Matt J. 1 year ago on Google
    I decided to be adventurous and i got the Polpo Pasta. It’s squid ink rigatoni, san marzano tomatoes, braised octopus, n’duja, and basil. This was so good that I’m going to have a hard time ordering anything else! It was savory, light, and slightly spicy. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Richard U. 1 year ago on Google
    Been eating here since 2017. Love taking my wife here for special occassion since this is were we ate on our first date. Our favorite is the polpo pasta. Still great food and excellent service. Their price has gone up a little but that's understand.

    Keto diets and generalized anti-carb hate has made it ever so difficult to find people who are willing to enjoy pasta with me first thing in the morning. That's the only excuse I can offer for waiting this long to step into this lovely restaurant. Located at a prime corner of the food hall in Ponce City Market, Bellina Alimentari celebrates pasta in a way no other Atlanta eatery I've seen yet. Tumbles of fresh pastas of all shapes and sizes sit idly behind sneeze guards and greeted my rumbling stomach more amicably than our friendly waitress as soon as we walked in. And If that weren't clue enough for this restaurant's main food push, the menu made it abundantly clear - you must not leave without trying the pasta. But which one to order? Seeing me caught in a quandary, our server recommended the lasagna, which turned out to be exactly what I needed and more. Layers of pasta, mozzarella, and thinly sliced eggplant were neatly tucked beneath a beautifully browned and crusty layer of parmesan cheese that crackled tantalizingly underneath my knife. It was - without an ounce of hyperbole - one of the best lasagnas I've ever had in a restaurant, and I'll certainly be back for it again. If the food weren't already so cleverly done, the service alone would have merited repeat visits. One of our servers overheard me offering my friend half of my Caesar salad and thoughtfully offered to mete it into two portions. When another server heard me groaning for bread to drag through my leftover sauce, he cheerfully came by with two enormous hunks of warm, soft bread drizzled with olive oil. It made a wonderful meal even greater, and made me think this would be a great place to bring a date. (Also to note: it's not mentioned on the menu, but the bartender makes mocktails for anyone demurring from drink)
