I must admit neither me, neither us we were looking for an Italian style restaurant here in Germany, it just turned out that you will find more Italian, Greek or Thai cuisine than real German sauerkraut and sausage while in Germany.
In fact, I like Italian cuisine very much, so let's get back to the subject - Restaurant Bellini in Andernach.

As usual in Germany, you will find a garden dwarf or a garden dwarf cook here as well. Grappa or Jagermeister, sure they serve it here.
Menu at Restaurant Bellini
It's written in German, but it's not a problem to understand this German/Italian language. Although staff members speak only German. A friend of mine asked the waiter - so are you a German or Italian? He replied neither. Turned out he was a nice Bulgarian guy speaking German. So if you speak Bulgarian you can try to order here in Bulgarian. Italian cuisine in Germany with Bulgarian speaking staff members, neat right?

Honestly speaking I was done already I ate this starter. It's so delicious.
Antipasti served at Restaurant Bellini
OK, I must admit I didn't know what is an antipasto prior to visiting this lovely ristorante Bellini in Andernach. Now I know. Unfortunately, I messed up with my camera settings and didn't make any decent photos of antipasti.
From Wikipedia:
Antipasto (plural antipasti) means "before the meal" and is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Traditional antipasto includes cured meats, olives, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella), pickled meats, and vegetables in oil or vinegar.
