Bellacino’s is a franchise that was founded by the Mancino family, and the food is similar to the founders other restaurant chain known as «Mancinos». Bellacino’s is located at Brannon Crossing in Nicholasville, Kentucky and is the only Bellacino’s in the state of Kentucky.

Bellacino’s signature menu item is the «Grinder». A grinder starts with Italian bread which is made fresh daily. Next, meat, cheese and other ingredients are placed, and the grinder goes into an oven at 490 degrees for 4 minutes. The grinder is «baked», and is simply the best sandwich on the planet.

Bellacino’s is also known for world class Pizza offered with a traditional thin, or a thick Sicilian crust. Many customers have a difficult time deciding between a grinder or pizza, and often simply get one of each to solve the question.
