Situated in the dock redeveloped area, with parking adjacent (free in the evenings). Nice atmosphere, very good service, nice menu choice, mid priced, and well presented food is excellent. A good find.After nine they often have entertainment from a tribute act, as part of an all-in price including a meal. So if that’s not your thing, you have been warned, though it sounds like a bit of fun. Check with them first and booking for that probably essential.

Typical Italian (authentic) feel, lovely house red wine, service was very quick and very good with a full house. Food was nothing short of majestic - absolutely fantastic. Baked aubergine starter was out of this world. Tiramisu brilliant. Probably the best Italian in the city. We will be back.

We had a two day break in Dundee and on our first night had planned to eat at a different restaurant on the same street, however we could not get in at 5pm so we decided to try Bellini. Wow, so glad we did as the food was absolutely amazing.We both had two courses from the pre-theatre menu which was excellent value. The starters were huge and beautifully served. For the main course my hubby had pasta and I had the baked sea bass which was absolutely delicious.The service was excellent too and our only slight criticism was the main course was served more or less as soon as we had finished the starter. Ideally we would have liked a few minutes. However, overall fantastic food and lovely wine and a reasonable bill at the end. Next time we are in Dundee we will definitely return. Thank you.

What a fantastic meal. All five of us had a very enjoyable evening here. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The wines we had were good and reasonably priced. Great waiter too, good fun and entertaining.Hi Margaret, We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience here at the restaurant that on Friday evening. Was a pleasure having yourself and your friends in dining with us. Your sentiments have been passed onto the Head Chef and his team. However thank you for taking the time to leave such a thrilling review for us. Kind RegardsDhugal PatersonRestaurant Manager

What a fabulous place. Refreshing to go somewhere that tables aren't cramped together first of all. A warm welcome. Great menu and amazing drinks selection, gin fans would be in heaven!The dishes we had were delicious, I particularly loved the pepper stuffed with crab meat and blue cheese. But is was all superb. Staff were fantastic, friendly efficient and knowledgeable and seemed to care if you were enjoying your meal.Would recommend highly and we'll be back. Thank you.

Visited with my wife and my parents on a Friday night. The restaurant itself is kind of in a converted basement / ground floor flat in the university area of the city. It's a good 30 minute walk from the city centre so is a bit out of the way. However don't let this put you off. The food is very fresh and the staff are nice. It seems that the owner is the chef and is constantly checking on the restaurant floor whilst cooking (a very busy guy)However the restaurant has a nice homely feel about it, although not cheap, it's not overly expensive and the food quality is good

Got a warm friendly welcome and indeed the staff were excellent throughout.Limited menu but what we ordered was cooked or prepared and presented beautifully.Good choice of wines - many by the glass.Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and all felt it was good value for money.Book ahead- it is a small restaurant.£10 each way for taxi from centre of Dundee.Some good bars nearby to round off your evening.

Booked for 8.30pm last night. Did not get seated until well after this. I advised I did not eat certain things and these were given to me not once but twice so that was 2 dishes I could not eat. My friend has a peanut allergy but was not asked about allergies until after a bowl of peanuts was out on to the table. Upon checking our receipt we have been charged for 8 drinks rather than 4! The waitresses kept leaning over us to remove bowls of food when we had not yet finished. We had the table until 10.30pm but 30 minutes in we had dishes thrown at us and we had asked for the bill. We were offered dessert menus but they never materialised. I have been to this restaurant many times but I have to say the service was appalling last night so we won’t go again.

The Newport Restaurant with Rooms

Reviewed By ian f

Nice surroundings with beautiful views over the Tay. Staff were welcoming and attentive. We had the 5 course tasting menu and the first 2 courses were excellent.Beautifully presented and full of flavour. Thereafter the standard deteriorated with wish course being rather tasteless and minute in size. The pork main was for us over cooked and again on the small size. Sweet was OK. On the whole disappointing for the standard of food we were expecting, and certainly not value for money. We would not return
