We're sorry that La Bella Vita has closed . . . .
Lunch at La Bella Vita
Lunch at La Bella Vita is one of the highlights of my week. The bottomless soup and salad specials are magnificent. On Tuesdays the special is spinach and artichoke soup. On Thursdays it's cream of mushroom soup.
On the back of the menu there is an entire page of lunch specials. It is really difficult to decide which one I want on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
Sometimes I simply want to select one of the appetizers for lunch, such as the fried alligator. I don't know how La Bella Vita is able to make their alligator tenderer than some other places do.
This week I had planned what I wanted for lunch, but when my friend and I arrived at La Bella Vita, I was disappointed and overwhelmed because making a decision had become more difficult than ever. There simply are not enough days in the week to eat all the good choices! Back to my overwhelming dilemma: The chalkboard at the front counter had a long list of new specials.
I narrowed the choice to the hot ham and cheese sandwich with an agreement to swap half of it with my friend, who decided to order the club.
As usual, the waiter brought us the complimentary appetizer--a square loaf of perfectly baked peasant bread with olive oil and seasonings.
Then to my amazement, generous salads appeared before us. By the time the sandwiches arrived, I really did not need another course, but the sandwiches were irresistible. One half sandwich was too much! The waiter cheerfully brought us carry-out boxes.
Now, I cannot wait to go back and try all those other specials!
One of these days I’m going to La Bella Vita for lunch and order nothing but one of those scrumptious desserts.
