Review of La Bella Vita Ristorante

BEST GF PASTA IVE EVER HAD!!

I usually skip on the gf pasta offered by restaurants since they usually don’t cook it correctly but after reading some reviews on how good the pasta was, I couldn’t pass it up and I’m so glad I didn’t. My bf and his mom (both non-gf people who are usually critical about gf pasta) loved it! Not grainy or mushy, didn’t fall apart, amazing. It’s hey did only have it in rigatoni at the time so not sure if there were other types as well as they do store it frozen and only had the one rigatoni defrosted. I did ask what the brand was but the waitress let me know they only sold in bulk to businesses. CALL AHEAD BEFORE YOU GO SO THAG THEY CAN DEFROST THE PASTA. I forgot to but got lucky that they had one available.

Although they have GF markers on the menu, it is only on 1-2 items. I did ask what could be made gf and the waitress let me know that they could substitute any pasta with the gf pasta, and the chef specials, chicken, and seafood could all be made gf except for any breaded item. I chose the Rigatoni alla Carre which is a home made chicken pesto cream sauce dish and it was amazing.

TLDR: Amazing GF rigatoni. Don’t pass it up. Rigatoni alla Carre amazing. Sad I cannot bring it home on the plane with me:,(
