Café Bellini
$-$$$, Italian, Santo Domingo
Fodor's Review:
This café has always had a panache far and above its counterparts, for the Italian owners also have the adjacent furniture design center. The moderne, wicker-weave barrel chairs, and the contemporary art and light fixtures, are all achingly hip. Previously, the domineering Italian chef would send out what he wanted you to eat and the cost was celestial. The present chef is right on and the prices are democratic. The menu is the same at lunch and dinner and your first glance should be at the daily specials, where a main course, like the trio of raviolis made with spinach, beet, and pumpkin prices out at about $10. If local king crab is on the menu, order it. It's served in its crimson shell with a fresh tomato-basil sauce over spaghetti. Service is laudable and it's friendly and fun here; you can even choose the CDs, say a Tony Bennett.
