Oustanding and worth a special
trip is the way Mobil Travel Guide describes Merlino's Belvedere. The
Belvedere won the Four-Star Award three years in a row from the nationally
recognized vacation guidebook. This coveted award is granted to only about
400 restaurants out of the more than 20,000 rated each year. It is for
superior quality and excellence.
The Belvedere was started in 1946 by Joe and Tony Merlino in what is now
the main room and bar. It has undergone several major expansions in the
40 years the Merlino's have dedicated their lives to serving good food
and drink at a price the whole family can enjoy. The Belvedere presently
consists of the main room and bar, the Mediterranean Room, the Grotta
Sotterranea and the Roman Room. In addition to these beautifully decorated
rooms there is a large banquet room upstairs which seats 200 for special
occasions. The complete menu is available in all but the Grotta which
serves as the main cocktail lounge.
The menu has something for everyone, from the homemade Italian dishes
to the complete selection of steaks. There is a large seafood selection
and sandwiches for those who don't want a whole meal. The Pallandill and
Bean Soup are our own recipe as is the sausage used in some of the Italian
dishes. The ravioli, lasagne, spaghetti, cavatelli, manicotti, and meatballs
are all made by Merlino's staff from the same recipes used by Tony and
Joe when they did all the cooking. In August of 1981, Joe Merlino retired.
Tony's son, Michael, became co-owner with Tony. They expanded the menu
to include lasagne and chicken cacciatore, and worked together to continue
the family tradition of original recipes.
With Tony's passing in September of 1986, Michael, and his wife Cathie,
and their children, Adam and Michelle, took over sole operation of the
restaurant. Mike still oversees every phase of the operation and does
some of the cooking.
On January 14, 1992, the entire interior of the Belvedere was destroyed
by fire. The Belvedere was rebuilt in three phases that took six months
for completion. Special attention was given to re-establishing the traditional
Italian dining atmosphere and the food recipes were retained exactly as
prior to the fire. Restrooms were enlarged and handicapped access was
given special attention.
Our steaks are aged and cut in our butcher shop and prepared just right.
It is no accident that our steaks are cooked to perfection; and you are
assured of getting the same fine quality every time. Merlino's feeds over
3,000 people a week in the largest restaurant in the area.
This all points to the reason Mobil selected the Belvedere for their Four-Star
Award three years in a row. There just isn't a finer place to enjoy food
and drink in a pleasant atmosphere in the country.
If you haven't tried the fine cuisine yet, you sure should; if you have,
you know what we mean when we say, "Your Pleasure Is Our Business." |
