Belleair Grill & Wine Bar

In Italy, you expect great food and wine - from a modest enoteca to an elegant ristorante, it's guaranteed the ingredients will be top quality and local, the wine will be delicious and the service will be personal. When you want to enjoy the same here at home, visit the Belleair Grill and Wine Bar, where we've imported the philosophy to create a menu of new American favorites full of European influence and paired it with one of the best wine lists around, featuring interesting varietals and uncommon labels, all at reasonable prices. Inspired by restaurants and wine bars of U.S. and European cities, the Belleair Grill and Wine Bar features a truly delicious menu of unique appetizers, first courses of risotto, pasta and salad and a delectable array of second courses including seafood, steak, poultry, pork and lamb. Because the menu includes such a variety of small and large plate options, you can combine them in any number of ways from a light meal to a four-course feast. The wine list is a unique composition of interesting varietals from around the world at reasonable prices, with 21 on offer by the glass ($6 to $9.25) or as part of a tasting flight and 125 by the bottle ($20 - $129, with many in the $20-30 range). The Belleair Grill and Wine Bar, which is about a mile south of downtown Clearwater on S. Fort Harrison Ave., is in a building that formerly housed The Pepper Mill Restaurant, a landmark for nearly 20 years. Owner Mark Marone has gone to great lengths to transform the wine bar and dining areas into comfortable, inviting spaces. You'll enjoy attentive service in a relaxed atmosphere - and don't be surprised if Mark himself stops by your table to make sure you're enjoying your meal.
