Bella Milano won top billing this year for best Italian food and best business lunch. Everyone talks about the addictively delicious Italian dressing that Bella Milano makes in house. It truly is exceptional, especially when paired with the crispy prosciutto (rather than bacon crumbles) that garnishes Bella's house salad. If there is any left on the plate after devouring your salad, make sure to sop it up with Bella Milano's tasty bread, it really is that good.
Menu items that are especially popular with readers are the wood-fired pizza, lasagna and the varieties of pasta. For starters, you can't go wrong with the toasted ravioli – crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside and perfect for dunking in Bella's house- made marinara. The garlic cheese bread is deliciously cheesy and served up with that same house-made marinara. Whether you opt for pizza, pasta or a more traditional dish like chicken marsala, Bella Milano won't disappoint. In the mood for something different? Try the Boursin cheese filet, served with a to-die-for cream cheese potato cake.
Bella Milano also has a separate lunch menu, with many dishes priced slightly lower. There are also many gluten-free options. Need to feed the family? Ask about Bella's takeout family feast. We're quite found of it.
More importantly, our readers commented that the restaurant manages to keep things moving along without making its diners feel rushed. Based on the crowds we've seen at lunch, it's not surprising that Bella Milano was voted the best business lunch.
