Venture into the immaculately designed Bella Gioia and be transported to another time and place.
Brick arches, low lighting and an antique pasta maker at the entry steep you in Sicilian flavor long before you taste the cured meats and aged cheeses that turn a piqued interest into a satisfied swoon. Sicilian fare comprises the menu, with comfort food and seasonal dishes being popular options. The cherry tomato on top? All pasta is made fresh in-house, a difference you can truly taste!
