    Located in nice part of downtown.  Reminds me of the Il Giardino, in terms of being in a 'house', though not as fine dining, but still, upper-class casual.

    ordered the bacon wrapped scallop, boy, that was pretty tasty, bacon burnt right along the edges for the flavour, and moist scallops.  came w/ a nice garden salad but the highlight was the garlic butter dipping sauce.  even sipped it too ;)

    The cocktail sauce was also there, but pretty bulky for what it's worth.

    Will come next time for the linguini carbonera, she said it's a winner ;)

    Street parking, free after 6pm!

    This is a great restaurant in London. Good prices compared to some of the downtown Italian-alternatives, and the food never disappoints. The atmosphere and service is also great.

    Last time I went we had the yummy skillet mushrooms and tuscan trio dip for an appetizer. I LOVE the Fettuncini Primavera, lots of places seem to make a primavera completely differently, but Fellini's is creamy and fresh with lots of peppers and veggies. The carbonara and angelhair also come recommended by my sister.

    The "Pasta Architect" or "Pizza Architect" menu feature that allows you to pick a pasta, sauce, meat and veggies is a great option for kids and otherwise picky eaters. You can't go wrong with Fellini Koolini's, I think there is something on the menu that everyone will enjoy and the prices and portions are quite reasonable.

    I couldn't decide on a 3 or a 4..I went with the 4 because the ambiance is quite unique and some of the dishes are more homemade then the franchises.

    It's quite small and congested but as I mentioned  earlier a unique atmosphere. The bread stick at your table is a nice touch especially since it's a rarity in Canada.

    My dad had the chicken fettuccine and he said it was the best sauce he had tasted, and the Cesar salad was good. Sophi had the Baked Brie, she said it was good but expected it to be actual baked brie and not bread with brie cheese on top.

    I had the spagetti and meatballs, the spaghetti sauce was really good, the meat balls were small and we could not decipher if they were homemade...I like bigger meatballs and even enjoyed the Olive Garden meatballs better. Overall it was decent, but I had envisions of this classic recipe to die for meatballs.

    For dessert we had Apple Caramel Cheesecake,  it was quite good.  To be picky I think the presentation was not as good as some franchise restaurants for the cheesecake, and it they wanted to be pure authentic everything in house should have been homemade.

    The service was a tab slow, but overall friendly and satisfactory.  We would go back again and try the baked ravioli for sure.

    Run by the same people that own Jim Bob's and Joe Kools, Fellini Koolini's is a great alternative to the downtown Italian restaurants in London. The prices are reasonable and the food is great. If there is a line at Fellini Koolini's or it is just really packed, go next door to the Runt Club (same food, different building) and you will get the exact same food delivered from next door through a hallway-bridge sort of thing that connects the two buildings.
    The service has always been excellent and the food has always been prepared nicely, the only complaint I have is that when it's packed, your food will take a while to get to your table; especially if you choose to eat at the Runt Club instead. Take it with a grain of salt though, you won't be disappointed.

    Top notch italian food for great prices. This place is a true find in London as far as restaurants go. Very unique building inside and out it seems like two huge victorian houses converted into a great concept. Great spot for romantic dining as well as large group bookings as the upper level has multiple rooms that can be booked for parties.
    Food is great too- I've yet to be disappointed by any meal I've had- Last time I was there I tried the asiago chicken and it was perfect.
    Also check out the Runt club next door- best patio in the city

    I had a lovely "date" here with my son. The bartender was wonderful - as we waited for a table, he showed my son how to make his own virgin caesar.
    They provide complimentary breadsticks with an olive oil dip. I'm not a big fan, but then I don't like crunchy bread. They do look very nice, though!

    The food was great and the portions were just right - had a small box of take-out left after appetizers and our meals. Evening snack!

    They did a great job with the veggies. If I could make veggies that delicious, my son would have no problem eating them!

    We will definitely be back, especially given their close proximity to downtown. Any place within walking distance gets a thumbs up from me.

    Went there with my wife and ordered a steak - at an Italian restaurant - it was worth the bet. Good service, the crowd is on the younger side; my wife & I are early fifties but that was not any issue, just an observation. This is one of many great restaurants in down town London ON.

    Fellini's is a definite go-to when I'm after comfort food. The cheesy decor and complimentary bread sticks put a smile on my face, and the service has always been excellent.  You'd have to be a fool not to try the Baked Brie or Pancetta Wrapped Scallops at least once - if you don't like at least once of these then you'd be well-advised to take your taste buds to a professional for a rigorous assessment.

    Over the years I've flirted with numerous items on the menu but I always return to my tried-and-true love, the Pasta Architect: fettuccine with blush sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, shrimp and scallops.   It never fails to impress, except that the portion has diminished somewhat in contrast to the price.  This place gets pretty spendy once you factor in appetizers and drinks.

    I'd give you five sexy stars except for the rising prices, and the fact that the decor was looking somewhat bedraggled upon my last visit. The decor is charmingly kitsch but some of the furniture, flooring, etc, may have seen better days.

    I visited the restaurant for the first time last week. I came away unimpressed. I decided on the seafood cannelloni for my entree. It was bland and the contents resembled, and tasted like, a seafood paste. The entree was also somewhat dry as it lacked sufficient sauce. In contrast, the brie appetizer was delicious.

    A very popular place and for good reason if you're a fan of this type of cuisine.  I'm not a fan of the complimentary bread sticks and I'm not fond of the layout of the restaurant (it can get awfully cramped).  But some of the dishes have pleased my tastebuds (most notably the dill fettuccine, sirloin tip fettuccine, linguini carbonara, and fettuccini primavera) while others are not the most memorable.  A solid place overall.
