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 friend introduced me to the pure joy that is a Zabaglione! It's really so delish.

I always love spicy tomato based pasta dishes at any time of the year! Especially with melted blue cheese and olives.

Any cheese based pizza

I love lots of bowls and plates of antipasti bits so everyone helps themselves. Meats, olives, fresh homemade bread, and my favourite are the artichokes in oil you buy from the deli, delicious!

Insalata Caprese and then veal with lemon sauce to follow.

It's hard to choose, but I still have occasional dreams about the amazing seafood risotto with mussels and clams and prawns someone served me in Rome.

christinelucey · 06/08/2016 17:41

My favourite Italian summer or winter is pasta with clams and mussels

MummyBtothree · 06/08/2016 17:47

gnocchi with pesto and garlic with a side dish of bruschetta, delicious.
