One of our Mumsnet Family Friendly members, Bella Italia say "Italians are known for enjoying the good things in life- savouring the things which really matter: family time, relaxation, sunshine and of course great meals cooked with great ingredients! At Bella Italia, we share this passion, and you can now get a taste of the Italian summer with our new menu.

Start your meal with our Taste of Italy Antipasti platter with cured meats from the north and south of Italy and enjoy it over a lovely glass of Aperol Spritz. Our new Salmone Limone pasta, is the perfect summer dish, made using pasta from Italy’s oldest pasta maker, the Agnesi family, and it’s their craft which you can enjoy in many of our pasta dishes. To top it off, add a little sunshine to the end of your meal with our delicious Limoncello meringue pie."

Check out their new video here:

My mum's chicken cacciatore with a shot of limoncello to finish!

Panzanella is a great summer dish along with crusty bread for dipping in the oils and vinegars.

I quite like a green salad with salsa verde, with tons of pine nuts and avocado.

jcyclops · 07/08/2016 00:09

Duck & Mushroom Risotto is great accompanied by a fine Barolo (or vice versa)

evieclarkson · 07/08/2016 01:50

I just love a good Italian pizza!

joangray38 · 07/08/2016 02:11

Italian icecream - any flavour!

Andbabymakesthree · 07/08/2016 08:01

An authentic lasagna with fresh salad and good garlic bread. Yum!

TJCB68 · 07/08/2016 08:21

Spaghetti puttanesca with garlic bread and a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

emms88 · 07/08/2016 09:11

My favourite is carbonara

MiserableMe1 · 07/08/2016 10:16

I love cooking ham & mushroom tagliatelle, it goes down a treat in the summer

firsttimemum15 · 07/08/2016 10:46

Caprese and prosecco

Marg2k8 · 07/08/2016 11:03

Lasagne with salad

lanale · 07/08/2016 11:09

pizza for me, pasta for my little one

carolineandryanandseb · 07/08/2016 11:11

you can't beat a beautiful fresh tricolour salad in the Summer with good quality buffalo mozzarella, perfectly ripe organic tomatoes and home-grown basil. May not be the most filling dish but definately the tastiest for me! :)

attachmentmummy · 07/08/2016 12:27

Good caponata with focaccia and/or bruschetta - I could eat that every day!

bobbyjim · 07/08/2016 12:50

My favourite is ravioli.

DaisyChops · 07/08/2016 13:24

Bruschetta to start followed by spaghetti carbonara, delicious!

liz1970 · 07/08/2016 15:11

It has to be carbonara :)

towser44 · 07/08/2016 15:11

A pint of Nastro Azzurro!

rozsargent · 07/08/2016 15:12

I love Lasagne with salad so tasty

GrumpyMcGrumpFace · 07/08/2016 15:18

definitely very good tomatoes, very good mozzarella, very good balsamic, very good basil and some very good bread, washed down with some very good pinot grigio, is very good. Very good indeed! Though most things washed down with a pinot grigio in the lovely warm Italian evening sun will do me just fine Smile Yum!

hannonle · 07/08/2016 18:00

Lasagne, always. Just in the summer we eat it warm instead of piping hot and have a side salad.

In the cooler days it's served hot with broccoli or bread. It's esp good with purple sprouting broccoli.
