Scalini

Lovely intimate restaurant for a romantic meal, the food was amazing. the nicest steak i've eaten in a while and the most beautiful mushroom sauce to go with it, my wife loves carbanara and said it was the best ! also the deserts.... omg !

We booked a table after seeing reviews before our trip to belfast, and we were not disappointed. although we were half an hour early this was no trouble and the team managed to seat us. all of the staff that served us were very pleasant. the food was delicious! we enjoyed a bruscetta as a shared starter, two pasta dishes which were the best pasta we've had outside of italy and some sides. we really wanted to visit a second time but could not fit it in! the location was great, a short walk from the centre.

Went here for dinner on a week night. great wine selection, and many good typical italian dish options. apps and meals were all fantastic. staff was friendly and prices were fair for the portion sizes. would recommend for a good italian joint while away from home.

• salmon with grilled vegs (peppers, onions, zucchini), lemon cream sauce with basil and sundried tomato dressing, salad, baby potatoes on the side • spaghetti carbonara with bacon and cream • meatballs with linguine and tomato sauce • chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream and whipped cream • crepes with chocolate and caramel sauce, whipped creamed and vanilla ice cream

Fantastic italian restaurant near to where we stayed in belfast. fantastic set up and felt like had been transported to italy. food was tasty, served in timely manner and wait staff friendly and helpful. so good we may come back for the second night of our stay
