Reviews
They had someone there with live music. The music selection was good, and so was the singer, but it was hard to have a conversation.
I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur having served an eight year NATO tour of duty in Italy during my military career. Several months ago I returned on vacation for two weeks to Italy and not much had changed in the culinary field. As such, I am often disappointed when trying out a new Italian restaurant at home in Florida. From the spelling mistakes on the menu to the tasteless dishes I am served I often wonder if I expect too much. Such was not the case when a friend of mine invited me to dine at Bella Cucina Italian Family Restaurant in Sun City Center, FL.
As we parked and approached the non pretentious restaurant entrance I was pleasantly surprised with the aroma that greeted me as we entered. A large crowd was already seated as we were escorted to our table. Written on the wall was the saying, “May all who enter as guests, leave as friends.”
We were no sooner seated when a basket of bread coated with olive oil and herbs was brought to the table. After the first bite I was trying to figure how I could take what would be left of the bread with me when I left. I ordered a salad and a plate of Rigatoni ala Vodka with Italian sausage and went back to the bread basket. I observed the family staff waiting on and serving each table in a real customer friendly way. At one point I observed an elderly veteran who was struggling to stand as he prepared to leave after finishing his meal. Our server Gino rushed to his assistance putting his arms around the veteran and helping him to his feet. I became distracted when my pasta arrived and saw the size of the serving. I now realized why so many of those leaving were carrying take out bags.
The salad was so tasty I inquired about the dressing and Gino shared the ingredients with me. I was happy to see that I could take the almost full plate of Rigatoni and sausage with me when I left. It was truly an Italian serving. I was sorry to notice as I prepared to leave that there was no bread left to take with my pasta. The family members, Gino, Dandan and Jamie learned well the secrets of excellent Italian culinary meals from their parents and I look forward to working my way through the menu
