ABOUT BELLANICO

Bellanico is a continuation of Chris Shepherd's successful restaurant in San Francisco, Aperto in Potrero Hill. Bellanico is a neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of the Glenview district in Oakland. The name Bellanico is derived from their daughters' nicknames, Bella and Nico.

We serve rustic Italian cuisine with influences from all the bounty California has to offer. The menu changes seasonally and we are dedicated to serving the best seasonal, local, sustainable, and organic products available. We cure our own salumi, make all our pasta, and bread fresh daily.

We offer an extensive and unique wine list curated by Elizabeth Frumusa, Wine Director, procuring primarily Old World wines with an emphasis on Italian wines. There are more than 20 wines by the glass. One can also purchase any wines retail for up to 50% off the list price. Chris and Bellanico staff look forward to serving you in the neighborhood.
