This is the only restaurant I have ever recommended, prior to eating there. I heard so many good things about Bella Monica I recommended it and couldn't wait to go for my birthday celebration. We were greeted at the door by the manager who then brought my husband and I a glass of wine for our wait. We were seated in about 20 minutes and my husband informed the waitress it was my birthday. They then decorated the table with birthday confetti - it was so much fun! The atmosphere was great, not too loud, but very cozy. And the food - AMAZING. I love good Italian, and this just goes beyond any other restaurant we usually visit. The eggplant appetizer was fabulous and the sun dried tomato and portabella lasagna was to die for. After dinner they gave me a free birthday cannolli which was great. When my husband and I left we couldn't stop smiling and commenting that it was the best meal we have had, and the most fun we have had at a restaurant in a long time. We will be back many times - Bella Monica is now our top restaurant.
