Cantina

Bellanico is a neighborhood restaurant situated in the Glenview district of Oakland, California, founded as a continuation of Chris Shepherd's successful San Francisco venture, Aperto. The name Bellanico is inspired by the couple's daughters, Bella and Nico, and the establishment offers rustic Italian cuisine with a focus on seasonal, local, sustainable, and organic ingredients. The restaurant takes pride in its commitment to quality, as evidenced by their house-made pasta and bread, along with a diverse wine selection curated by Wine Director Elizabeth Frumusa, highlighting primarily Old World wines with a special emphasis on Italian varieties. With more than 20 wines available by the glass and retail purchasing options, Bellanico aims to create a welcoming dining experience in the community. Generated from the website
