Bella Monica Rocks it Again

To celebrate our eleventh anniversary I decided we needed to go to Bella Monica in Raleigh, NC for dinner.  I have been tons of times but my wonderful hubby has never been.  If you want a restaurant that understands Gluten Free, that remembers your name, has fresh Gluten Free bread, understands cross contamination, has Gluten Free desserts, a huge wine list, Gluten Free pasta and it all tastes fantastic: Bella Monica is the answer!  

From start to finish the dining experience is always awesome!  The staff is super friendly and helpful.  As soon as you announce you are Gluten Free a cute salmon colored plate shows up beside you to let everyone know that you are the Gluten Free person at the table.  


Since we were celebrating our anniversary our table was decorated with confetti and we got some Prosecco!  Such a fun touch! 

The meal starts with fresh focaccia bread.  As the Gluten Free person I was treated to Gluten Free bread!  And yes I order two servings every time I go.  



Then comes the house salad.  The dressing is on point and the fresh veggies are so good.


My favorite main dish is the stuffed shells.  It comes out pipping hot.  It is a large dish of GF pasta, cheese, and sauce.  And yes I ate all of it!  I even used my second piece of focaccia to wipe out any leftover sauce.


Dessert was another favorite of mine: creme brulee!  I promise you will love it!  The lightly citrus flavor with the hard sugar crust is almost too much.


My hubby had a tasty Gluten-filled meal that he enjoyed.  After dinner he understood why I love this restaurant!  The people, food and overall experience are just fabulous.  

Thanks Bella Monica for making our anniversary so special!  Hope to be back soon!
