Bellanico is a continuation of Chris Shepherd & Elizabeth Frumusa’s successful restaurant in San Francisco, Aperto in Potrero Hill. Bellanico is a neighborhood restaurant located in the Glenview district of Oakland. The name Bellanico is derived from their daughters’ nicknames, Bella & Nico. The Bellanico staff take great pride in food, service and wine. We serve rustic Italian cuisine that changes seasonally. 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. There are more than 25 wines by the glass & 6 different flights of wine.

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.

The pork belly appetizer was superb. The fresh little gem salad was creative and delicious and you can't go wrong with duck confit hash. Had a lovely bottle of Italian white wine as well. A fantastic Sunday brunch!

We live in S.F., but would be regulars if we lived in the East Bay. Consistently excellent over the years; great value; a neighborhood gem.
