Neighborhood gem

A neighbourhood gem for local coffee, brunch, natural wines, cocktails & dinner

Simplicity & seasonality is at the core of what we do - no fussiness just good food you want to share with friends around the table. We believe food should be shared, it's about bringing people together.

Situated in the quant village of Bellingen which is a historic town en-route on the spectacular Waterfall Way between Armidale & the Coffs Coast. Approx 30mins from Coffs Airport, 3hrs from Byron Bay & 3hrs from Newcastle making it the perfect weekend getaway.

FIUME Bellingen is a charming culinary gem offering "inventive and delicious" dishes in a "beautiful relaxed but stylish setting." Guests rave about "exceptional service" and "fine food," with highlights like burrata and risotto. While generally praised, some found room for improvement in presentation.

Amazing evening. Great food, service and wine. We had a table of 8 and was impressed by the flavours and the quality of the dishes.. everything came out to the table beautifully and I highly recommend Osteria Fiume. You can just taste that the food has been prepared and cooked with love.

Beautiful place but food was below average. Typical copy paste fine dining, nothing original, oily and salty.

Unfortunately for us this restaurant did not live up to our expectations . The steak was lovely, but served disappointingly with 'McDonald's style frys', on a bread and butter size plate. No greens on offer as sides. Cabbage and deep fried potatoes as extra sides only. The pipi pasta was nice - but again served in a cereal sized bowl??? So presentation did not seem to be a priority. We found this disappointing due to the pricing we paid. Lastly we ordered the coffee Brulee - it was so full of coffee grit we were unable to eat it. Our accommodation did not recommend this restaurant and we are disappointed that we went there based on previous reviews. They will need to definitely pick up their game if they are going to survive, as so many other great restaurants in walking distance.

First time for lunch but it won’t be our last visit. Everything was first class. Nothing to fault. We look forward to sharing with friends and family.

Fiume is such a gem! We're very lucky to have delicious food of this calibre and lovely natural wines on offer in our little town. Great chef, down to earth, friendly waitstaff, and a beautiful environment with soft lighting and tasteful decor. We love it and keep going back, for special occasions. Thanks, Fiume!

Very interesting food, sensible size servings with the emphasis on quality , not quantity. Gererously spaced tables to minimise 'crosstalk' An interesting wine list featuring both Australian and Italian wines
