Cafe Bellini

Love the food here. Today was chicken parmesan $ 10 Come s with garlic bread and a full bowl of soup and warm bread the soup and bread fills me up so could only eat half of the chicken. This was a late lunch so no problem getting in right away. Dinner time and weekends are busy always a wait. But worth it.
My favs are Turkey dinner, cod, fish n chips. And now the chicken parmesan.

I am continuously impressed by this café! If you can muster up the will to walk through a casino, Café Bellini is a great place to visit. Most meals are between $ 8 and $ 12 and are more than filling. I’m a huge fan of their breakfast options (served all day!). They also have some of this city’s best sweet potato fries.
You really can’t beat their prices, huge portions, and delicious food. I have never been disappointed with a meal here. If you order a dinner meal, you get complementary bread and ice cream with your meal.
Café Bellini is almost always busy but the wait time is usually pretty low. Other restaurants in Western Village will have a minute to a one hour wait while Café Bellini usually has a wait around 15 minutes. The service is fast and friendly. The area is very clean and while inside, you can’t smell the smoke from the rest of the casino.

attention customers: please be aware there are bugs in this restaurant!
no stars for this place at all!
came into eat and got a meal to-​go, halfway through my meal i find an insects leg! yes! an insects leg in my mashes potatoes
i look closer and realize it is a cockroach leg.
i brought the food back right away and spoke to the manager (lonnie) and told him how grossed out i was and i want a refund on my meal.
he was not apologetic at all! and he didnt even give me a refund!
as i was explaining how i found the bug’s leg in my mashed potatoes, his only response was, «okay? soooooo… what do you want me to do about it? i can buy you a free meal today, or i can give you a comp to come back here for $ 15»
no effing way am i coming back to café bellini to eat after i found bugs in my food. why would i want to eat there in the future if i know that place has roaches in their kitchen. this is no way to run a restaurant and to keep customers happy, i am never coming back here again.

Sometimes you just have a craving for a rare prime rib with a loaded baked potato and that Normandy blend vegetables you can only find at a old school coffee shop. A place that plays Sinatra and Dean Martin songs over the speakers. First time here at the Western Village’s coffee shop. Since the Steak House here is really really good I gambled that the coffee shop would be good to. Not disappointed at all. We will definitely be back.

Moved closer to sparks and this spot is awesome! Total renovation so the inside is like new! On to Café Bellini, being that we go there three to four times a week we have fallen more and more in love. Lonnie at the front is always polite and cracking a smile. Briana also at the front is a sweetheart. Then there’s Heather, she seems more the business type and definitely nothing wrong with that, (reminds me of the girl attorney from better call Saul). Now the waiters, theres Chris, younger fella, always on top of his game. So polite, quick and efficient. Would love to have him working in my office. Next there’s the Guatemalan lady that works during the day, she was a total sweet heart as well.

They have a good New York steak sandwich. half of avocado is 2.50 what ??? Service are good but 15 minutes wait.

Came back after a few months and noticed the service improve tremendously. I ordered a chef’s special — $ 6.50 for Grilled Pork chops, veggies, steamed rice, loaf and a free ice cream. The food taste really good and the server, Orlando, was very pleasant and attentive. He explained my choices and never messed up my order.
I am very happy with my visit and will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

Yummy and cheap. Nice servers! Hot chocolate was really good. Two sandwiches with fries and a bowl of soup, hot chocolate and an ice tea was 25

Decided to try the café out one afternoon as I have always heard great things about it. Service was quick and the waitress was on top of things. The place reminded me of times past and very cozy. The food was very good and plentiful. But what amazed me was the super low prices, especially if you eat between 11pm-​4am. Amazing value for those on a budget.

We had dinner here on Saturday I was surprised we sat down right away, the service was good and the food was great. I had the weekly special ribs and fries, my husband had the NYPD club and he was very happy with it, my father in law had the Icelandic cob and he enjoyed it very much. The food portions were very good and the prices are very reasonable. So we decided to come back on Sunday for dinner, this time we had to wait about 30 minutes which wasn’t too bad but the service was not good but the food was great, my husband had the chicken fried steak and he said it was very good and I had the ribs again because it was so good. Our server forgot our salad so he brought it with our main course. Then he never came back to refill our drinks I had to get the picture and fill up our own glasses, but the busboy who came by and picked up our dishes and he was very helpful. I did notice that they did keep the place very clean and they were always cleaning the floors and the tables around us.

We had a hankern’ for Pancho and Willie’s after a movie at the Galaxy in Sparks, but to our dismany found it wasn’t open until 4pm, so we headed over to Café Bellini instead. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t Pancho and Wilie’s!
It has a large menu, and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My husband had the Terminator, a l pound burger with three cheeses and all the usual toppings, including tomato, lettuce, and thousand island dressing. He said it was too well done for his liking, and the bun was hard to manage, because it started to disintigrate, but it was OK.
Our friend had the teriyaki burger, open-​faced and topped with bacon, with sweet potato fries. It looked amazing, and was so big, he couldn’t finish the fries. He said it was delicious, and he’d order it again.
I had the Village burger, and ½ pound burger that’s basically a patty melt without the onions on a parmesan garlic bread, or so it said on the menu. Here’s where the meal went sounth for me. When I got my burger, it had all the stuff a regular burger has, including sauteed onions, which I hate. The whole reason I ordered this burger was because I love patty melts but hate the onions, and always order them without. Imagine my dismay when this thing came out not only with onions, but with lettuce, tomato, onions, and even thousand island dressing!!!
Needless to say, I sent it back. I had to wait at least 15 minutes for a new burger. The server was very apologetic, and I heard her saying to the cook, «just meat and cheese!!!» I guess they don’t read their menus very well. When it came back, it was OK, but there was hardly any cheese on it, not enough any way. It was piping hot, any way, and came with a butt load of fries.
I really wouldn’t come back again any time soon, and was really disappointed that Pancho & Willie’s isn’t open for lunch any more. Would have enjoyed that a lot better.

My husband’s mom and step-​dad came to visit a few weeks ago, and they stayed at Western Village because it’s very close to our apartments. They ate here a few times because it was always open, and suggested we try it out. We went around 8−9pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately.
I must say, our server was nice, service was prompt, and there was a ton of food. Seriously, if you’re looking for «bang for your buck,» look no further than Café Bellini. The prices are cheap and you definitely get enough food to fill you up. I order the Short Stack Pancakes (3.95) and a side of hasbrowns (2.00). The pancakes were GIGNORMOUS and fluffy. The hashbrowns, while greasy and glimmering with oil, were incredibly crispy and tasty. Even though I was starving, I couldn’t finish all of my food. My husband ordered a side biscuit and gravy (2.00) because he wasn’t too hungry, and he said it wasn’t bad. The gravy had nice flavor; peppery.
Overall, because we don’t normally eat this type of food on the regular, I’m not sure how often we will be back. But the food was a-​okay in my mind, and the prices were unbelievable! Because it is so close to our apartment, if we’re looking for late night eats, I will keep Café Bellini in mind!

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover should be the official logo for this place
Situated inside Western Inn Casino, the restaurants in here are wonderful.
Outside the place looks like a dive, step inside and it’s like the Tardis
Really nice food, ambience and staff are nice

This place has large portions, small prices and yummy American food.
I came in for a late dinner at almost 1am and despite the service being a little slow everything else was perfect.
I got the ground round steak dinner & it came with a choice of soup or salad, dinner bread and choice of potato with vegetables… my husband got the same thing and our total was only about $ 15. Totally a good price! We both opted for the clam chowder and it was amazing!!! As an added bonus, it was completely devoid of sand and grit. The bread they brought out at the same time was so so so very super soft and it came served with whipped butter on the side.
For my choice of potato I got mashed potatoes, sub white gravy & that was probably the highlight of my meal… I love gravy! I love sauce! It was so yummy!
For the veggies I was expecting mixed steamed vegetables but was surprised when I was brought out corn on the cob. This corn was perfectly cooked, and FRESH and I throughly enjoyed it even though I’m not the biggest corn fan in the world.
After my husband powered through his meal he said «I would totally have paid more for that.»
and I wholeheartedly agree.
I will definitely be coming back.
Ps: I watched what a lot of the other diners food looked like and the nachos are huge and look really good. And the burgers are quite big too.

My husband and I are frequent patrons of the Western Village. More often than not we stop in to play the slots, have drinks and hang out with friends but we do visit the restaurants every so often. Most times we tend to favor Pancho’s.
Last night we stopped in after a very long day, sat at the Steakhouse bar to have a few drinks and unwind and got a menu from Café Bellini. Our plan was to order out so we could take the food home and go relax with dinner and television.
I’ve never done take out at Café Bellini. We always sit down and get decent service with decent food. Had I cared enough to rate Café Bellini on Unilocal before this experience I would have given it 3 stars for service, 3 stars for food quality and 4 stars for price. I know Café Bellini does take out orders. I’ve seen them do it before. What I don’t know is why they seem to hate it so much. I never would have expected being treated the way I was last night.
After about 30 minutes or so of hanging out at the Steakhouse bar and visiting with friends, my husband went and grabbed a menu for us to look over. We made our selections rather quickly and I headed over to ask the hostess how I would go about making a to-​go order. She waived me off and told me to go sit and the counter and «the waiter» will help me. I told her OK and awkwardly walked inside and sat myself at the counter to wait for someone to help me.
I sat at the counter for quiet sometime waiting for «the waiter» to help me. Wait staff was running around like crazy. I could tell they were busy so I decided to be patient and wait. Finally «the waiter» came up — his name was either «Gus» or «Guy». He whipped out his pad and asked what he could get for me. I told him I’d actually like to place an order to-​go. He sighed and said that was fine but all he can do is bring the food on the plates and I have to put it in the box and bag it myself. I was a tad taken aback by that comment but acquiesced none the less since they were so busy. He took our order and told me 10 – 15 minutes but most likely 15.
I went back to the Steakhouse bar to finish up my gambling and wait for the food to be ready. At the 17 minute mark I went back over to Café Bellini to pick up and pay for our food. There wasn’t anywhere to sit at the counter so I awkwardly stood by the waitress station where employees are rushing in and out with food. I tried my best to stay out of the way but I didn’t have anywhere else to go. No one asked how they could help or if I needed anything. I saw another patron receiving a to-​go order and as soon as she left I took her seat so I would be out of the way.
This is when it got REALLY bad — I sat on that stool forever. By forever I mean that I had wait staff walk by me 38 time (YES — 38) before one of them came up to me and open their paper pad to ask what he could get me. I told him I was actually waiting for a to-​go that should be ready. He got annoyed, shut his paper pad and shouted across the counter at the original waiter who took my order. The original waiter «Guy? Gus?» saw me and grabbed our food. He brought it over in to-​go containers and bagged which makes no sense because he told me I was supposed to do that myself. He handed me the receipt and walked off.
Had I not been here before I might have sat longer wondering when he was going to collect my check and payment but since I knew I had to go up-​front to pay that’s what I did.
The kid at the cash register didn’t say «Hi». He didn’t smile and he didn’t look at me. He was like an angry robot who just took my card and receipt.
For the first time in my life I couldn’t bring myself to leave a tip. Instead I walked back to the Steakhouse bar and pondered what had just happened.
I’ll never order to-​go here again and quite honestly it’ll be a cold day when I go back to eat after the way I was treated. I don’t know why I received such poor service. I also don’t know why they have to-​go if the staff hates it so much. Perhaps to-​go orders have increased since the snack bar lost much of its best selections.
Whatever the «excuse», it’s not a reason to treat people that way.

Tried this place out mainly because of convenience. I ordered the Original Whole Pig. It’s pretty much how it sounds. Ham, bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and biscuits & gravy. My girlfriend ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich. We both ordered the Grand Mimosa which was pretty tasty. Everything was pretty much what you would expect at Western Village restaurants. A ton of food for a very low price. It wasn’t the best breakfast I’ve had, but far from the worst. Decent food and a great value.

We decided to try this place despite only having three stars. The one thing that I really like about Western Village is they make a really good effort to keep the nasty smoke smell out of the eating establishments. But once you step foot outside the restaurant it is like you just walked into a smoking room at the airport. UGH!
Anyhow, it was pretty busy and we were seated within about 20 minutes. The service was pretty quick but I could tell the server was very busy and hurried. The tables around us didn’t seem to be getting the same service we did. The food was pretty good and you get so much for your money at this place. I was kind of shocked at how cheap it was. I got the breakfast croissant sandwich and it was pretty good. The sausage was ok. The hash browns were pretty ‘crispy and good. My friend got the whole hog. It is unreal how much food you get for this dish. He seemed to enjoy it too. We would come back again sometime. Not a favorite but pretty decent for what you get for your $$.

Terrible service. Told us there was a 40 minute wait when we saw empty tables inside. A large group showed up after us put their name on the wait list. They knew a waitress in there and got seated before us. Horrible management. Their is always a wait no matter what time of day it is. So if you plan on going expect waiting. Food is mediocre at best. Don’t know what the great fascination with this place is.

Just wanted to throw out a quick update regarding our experience at Café Bellini.
I was contacted by the Director of Restaurant Operations who wanted to personally apologize for what he said was a mistake on their part in how the situation was handled. I was impressed. I was not looking for this type of attention yet I certainly received it and more. He called me Friday night to review what happened and how they intended to bring this particular incident to light so they could accommodate a better solution in the future. He was quite sincere and didn’t scrutinize anything that I did and made me feel like he genuinely wanted me back to give them another chance. Well done… and yes, we will be back.
For rating purposes I’ll keep at a 3 for now (until we actually go back for the experience), but their customer service is a 5 star! It really took me off guard and appreciated the follow up.

A friend took us here on her comp points.
The service was wonderful– we were seated quickly and our waitress was friendly and checked back in with us regularly. Our water glasses were always full and they had the condiments we asked for (because hash-​browns are always better with Cholula.)
The food was fine. Nothing outstanding. The corn beef hash I had was good though it also came with hash browns and they were not cooked quite well and were disappointing. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy which I tried– they were good. Our friend got the ham steak and liked it. She comes here often and enjoys the food. The prices were reasonable and they have several specials.
Not really amazing food but descent prices and good service.
