Bellini Italian Restaurant, New York

Inside Bellini Italian Restaurant & Brick Oven Pizza, wall sconces and tea lights swathe wooden tables in a romantic atmosphere. Exposed-brick walls hold aloft framed pictures, glass mirrors, and carved artwork below wooden cabinets packed with bottles of wine. Within these rustic environs, patrons can savor with classic Italian pastas such as lobster ravioli and penne à la vodka, smothered in creamy sauce. Alternatively, oven-baked pizzas feed those who care to share with other diners or an imaginary friend who's allergic to food with corners.
