Our Latest Great Place To Eat - La Bella Donna

Saturday 16 August 2014

Proprietors Anne and Nabil strive to provide all of their patrons with a warm welcome and an excellent dining experience.
On my visit, starters included bruschetta with fresh tomato, basil and garlic; cozze alla marinara being fresh mussels in a garlic and white wine sauce; as well as fritto misto which were lightly fried prawns and calamari rings served with a wedge of lemon. They had a baked polenta served with sausage and a wild mushroom ragu, not to mention a tasty sounding carpaccio di Bresaola, thin smoked fillet of beef served with rocket and shaved parmesan with a lemon and olive oil dressing. I decided to go for their Belpaese con Mostardi di Cremona, a deep fried cheese served with a mustard and fruit sauce, which was melt in the mouth delicious. Brendan opted for their lovely oven-baked scallops in a garlic and white wine sauce, which he said he would drive back to Donegal to enjoy again.

For the mains, La Bella Donna has a fantastic range of dishes to choose from.  Their pasta menu features popular dishes like linguine carbonara; tossed penne with smoked salmon; ravioli parcels stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach in a tomato and cream sauce; and also a tagliatelle dish with Italian Sausage, wild mushroom and a touch of cream. Their pizza menu is equally extensive with a wide variety, including their ‘rustica’ pizza with goats cheese, spinach, olives. Their quattro stagioni comes with ham, mushroom and salami whilst their frutti di mare features prawns, squid and mussels. For the dedicated carnivore they have a great selection of steaks and other meat dishes.
