Bella TuscanyQuiet CharmDon't pass up the Polenta, it is absolutely the greatest.6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was very good andThe food was very good and fresh. The meatball appetizer was juicy and tender. The sauce had just the right kick of spiciness. My wife's chicken was for tender and my pasta was cooked perfectly. The ambience with the subdued lighting was very romantic. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, but not overly so. We even had a conversation about the advantages of making reservations via open table. We would definitely goback.6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAtmosphere is great, serviceAtmosphere is great, service was attentive and not too bothersome, and food was excellent with large portions. we will definitely be returning regularly.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Neighborhood SpotReally nice relaxed feel - like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. There are several dishes I will return to try. Enjoyed the Chicken Francese over sauteed spinach on this visit. Service while very friendly, was off on the pace of the meal. Our party had to ask for several items that should have been automatic such as refilling of beverages, an additional serving of bread and grated cheese after the entrees arrived.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMBella Tuscany - a gem in WindermereI took my Mom and six of my family members to Bella Tuscany. Bella Tuscany is authentic and excellent! We had the calamari and the clams for an app - both were cooked perfectly. My mom and I had the Veal Florentine- amazing flavor. Enjoy Bella Tuscany...I will certainly be a regular! And I am first generation Italian - so I am very critical of Italian restaurants!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMMom, are you in the kitchen?I could have licked the bowl from my linguini carbonara. Yum! Wonderful creamy sauce that did not congeal, break or displease. Absolutely heavenly. Recently moved here from upstate NY, just found my 'go-to' Italian restaurant. Great waitress, made me feel very welcomed. Classic and comfortable atmosphere. This was my first trip, I asked for a taste of the red sauce for future reference. Delicious! Pasta is homemade (a rare treat), not in-house, but homemade. Next trip, got to order the pasta Bolognese...not a gnocchi fan, but they will substitute.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food - very largeExcellent food - very large portions (we split an entree and couldn't eat all of it plus a salad). Excellent service - very noisy, but that was the only "downer". We'll return.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a great find in Windermere.What a great find in Windermere.
