Bella Mia - Drea

This one will be a quickie...it's Tuesday already and Ive procrastinated :( so here's a quick review of Bella Mia.

Setting is SO CUTE it's like sitting on someones porch for dinner, didn't even feel like we were sitting on the side of Beretania street.

Parking was a little difficult because this restaurant is on Beretania right across Anasias where there's only street parking, and if you drive past it you have to go all the way around the block since Beretanias one way. I'd suggest parking in the residential areas on the right of Beretania.

On to the food...
Started with pizza fries, awesome because we were really hungry (as usual), but not the sole reason to come back.
Also had the Caesar salad which was also good, but not ridiculous good.

Pizza was halfway to ridiculous good, we got the Alfredo pizza, which was like cheese pizza with Alfredo and tomato sauce. Tasted great but very rich and will give you major issues if you have a weak stomach.

Eggplant Parmesan was good also, huge portion that's enough for 2 with big slices of eggplant that tasted like meat. Great, but not quite ridiculous good.

And now the best part....dessert! Got the Tirimisu, which was the reason why we came here in the first place. This is probably the only thing Id come back for. Seemed homemade, not the kind that comes frozen out of the box. Tirimisu is my favorite dessert, so its great to find a place with good Tiramisu...this is probably one of the top 5 places on the island for Tiramisu.

All in all it was good, not great. Not quite authentic Italian, but good food anyway :) Price wasn't too bad, about $14 for the "14 pizza (i think that's how big it was...and yeah, that's what she said...) haha. Eggplant parmesan was about $14 from what I remember, about the going rate for that kinda thing, and it was huge.

Would come back for the cute outdoor setting and the Tiramisu, maybe just come for dessert after dinner somewhere else?

It's also BYOB...big surprise, right? Haha. Had the awesome bottle of Dorn again.
Tomorrow is La Tour Cafe, the new place on Nimitz chosen because they have Beignets!! Yum!! Stay tuned :)
