Bella Cucina

This is a small but bustling place with a real Italian feel with white tablecloths and a wood fired pizza oven. My girlfriend had a pizza and a glass of wine for $25 and I had a risotto. It was a little bland so I had to add lots of salt and pepper. The staff were friendly.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see an open oven. We ordered the waiter's recommended Margherita pizza, pasta with red wine beef tomato sauce (the sauce name is self-created), and seasonal vegetable salad. The pizza is delicious, with plenty of cheese and meat. In short, it is delicious.
