• A Second Visit at La Casa Bella

  

  A local restaurant is currently following me on twitter called La Casa Bella was asking me to write a restaurant review. They initially wanted me to write a restaurant review herebut, I decided to share with you the review here. I've tried this restaurant earlier this year, but when I did I was sick so my boyfriend and I decided to try it out again.

  

  In most and every Italian restaurant I've been to, there's always bread served as a complimentary appetizer or for dipping in the sauce with your entree. Sometimes different restaurants give you a variety of bread or rolls, but La Casa Bella seem to have gave us the whole loaf of bread.

  

  Since my boyfriend and I tend to make it a goal to try each fried calamari at almost every restaurant we tried, we ordered this too. My boyfriend didn't like the fried calamari at all and that it lacked flavor. I felt that they should have given us a wedge of lemon to squirt some juice for extra flavoring. The sauce and fried calamari alone wasn't enough for good flavor. It could have done better.

  

  As usual my boyfriend decided to get the chicken with Marsala with spaghetti. I saw the dish before he did and I wasn't too happy with the presentation because it just looked so sloppy and gross. It did taste good, but really presentation is important when it comes to presenting it to the guest or customer. The mushrooms were tasty but, the chicken was slightly overcooked.

   

  The spaghetti came on the side and I'm guessing since the chicken with Marsala dish was full so they decided to scoop some of the mushroom and bits on top of the spaghetti.

  

  This was not the usual clam dish I usually get and the name of it is different. This one is called Zuppa Di Clams. I am not sure what it means, maybe you can? I feel they used too much sauce because it was mostly liquid on the bottom and I don't like excess liquid unless it's a soup. They did give a lot of clams, so that I was happy about. I do feel I've had a better clam dish than this.

  La Casa Bella didn't know I came in on the day I chose to visit them until I tweeted that I was at La Casa Bella for dinner. I wonder if they knew ahead of time, would the dishes have been prepared better and cooked better? They've been asking me for a restaurant review, so here it is. I think the food was mediocre and that I've definitely had better.

  Have you ever tried a restaurant that's following you on a social media platform?
