Bellini's Italian Restaurant was recommended by a friend. I had pictured a take-out pizza place, more fitting with the small strip plaza along Congress Avenue, not a sit-down Italian restaurant. The air-conditioned space away from the sun was the perfect break from the Texas heat, however. The Peroni in a chilled glass helped too.
The menu included a variety of Italian dishes, but being only lunch time, we went for the Margarita Pizza. The waiter said a medium would be plenty for two people. As it turns out, a small may have been plenty because we only finished half, and not because it wasn't good.
The Margarita pizza came with plenty of sauce and really stringy cheese, plus sliced tomatoes and shredded basil. There was enough sauce as to not be overpowered by the cheese and the crust was tasty, although a little on the thick side. All in all its better than 95 percent of the pizza you find in North Texas.
Recommended specialties for dinner include chicken and veal, either Marsala or Piccata.
