Bellanico is a continuation of Chris Shepherd & Elizabeth Frumusa’s successful restaurant in San Francisco, Aperto in Potrero Hill.

We are dedicated to serving the best seasonal, local, sustainable and organic products that they can find. Bellanico features Pitman Farms Chicken, Prather Ranch Meat, Duroc Pork and only wild caught fish and seafood. It also features a wine bar offering Old World wines with an emphasis on Italian wines.

The food here is interesting and very well prepared. It's not exactly your spaghetti and red sauce place but the food will feel familiar and comforting. The services friendly and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the food and wine. When crowded, it's definitely on the noisy side.
