In Loving Memory of

Marco Bellini

July 9, 1951  —  October 2, 2024

A Life Remembered

“He believed a full table was a full heart — and his table was always full.”

Marco Bellini came from Bologna and built a beloved trattoria that fed his neighborhood for thirty years. He cooked for strangers as if they were family, remembered everyone's usual order, and closed early only for weddings and christenings. He is survived by his wife, four children, and a city block that will never eat quite so well again.
