The Visit
I was doing some work at my house since the renovations are still ongoing. I’m doing what I can and waiting for my friends to help with the remaining parts. Then, I received a message from my parents saying that they had booked a table at Bella Vita for dinner tonight. I was thrilled to go back since it’s one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

The Food
When I entered, I saw a few familiar faces, and it was nice to see the staff again. We were seated in a lovely booth, and just like last time, the staff brought out a small taster dish for us to nibble on.
As always, it was a mix of some of the starters, including the polo frito, which remains one of my favorite starters here and still tastes as good as always.
The Food
Ravio Aurora £12.95
Handmade pasta parcels stuffed with spinach & ricotta cheese, in a cream sauce, with tomatoes & parmesan
Because of the wee nibble starter, I decided to skip ordering a starter and jump straight to the main course. I wanted to try something new, so I ordered the ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, as it sounded very appealing.
Upon arrival, it looked very interesting and had a nice aroma emanating from the tomato and cream sauce. I couldn’t wait to dig in and try it.
The pasta was perfectly cooked, with a fantastic balance of spinach and ricotta cheese inside each parcel. The sauce added an extra layer of flavor, making each bite truly enjoyable. It was a perfect dish.
After my little nibbles, the flavor was really good, and the portion size was perfect. I knew I could easily order a dessert after this.

Homemade Tiramisu £4.50
For my dessert, I instantly knew what I wanted before even looking at the menu: the homemade tiramisu.
I’ve had the tiramisu here before, and this time the presentation was slightly different. I’m not sure if it was just for me tonight from the staff, but it looked good, as you can see from the photos. Digging right in, it was perfect tiramisu.
It was moist, and creamy, with a lovely taste of coffee throughout. Everything blended well together to create an amazing texture and taste. This was one of the best tiramisus I’ve had in a very, very long time. If I hadn’t been feeling full at this point, I would have easily asked for another. Highly recommended if you love tiramisu. So if you come here, definitely check it out.
