Of all the things in life, being in a relationship is the most beautiful thing!! I’m sure most of y’all will agree with me. 🙂 Like most Indians, I and my guy believe that celebration = yummmmy food. And that’s exactly how we decided to celebrate our anniversary. When i say food, I mean lots .. lots of food and beer. 😀 While going out could be a totally fun way to celebrate, we sure love the idea of trying new restaurants. So, here’s where we went to celebrate life.
If you’re a foodie and you loveeeeee Pizza n Pasta, you must try Tutta Bella, much known for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas, Italian wines, and Umbria espresso. It’s located in Crossroads mall, Bellevue which means.. you absolutely don’t have to worry about the parking! They have it all 🙂

Tutta Bella welcoming us
The hostess gave us a warm welcome and greeted us really well.
Here’s what we ordered that night. We started off with Crispy Calamari – made of fried calamari, house-made pickled pepper and calabrian chile aioli. The person who was serving us was very friendly and suggested Tutta Bella Amber Ale, a handcrafted beer and Rosemary lemonade. I would suggest you guys the same. Must tryyyy! Crispy Calamari was just yummm. It was go good that we had one plate of Crispy Calamari there, and got one more to go. :p

We were confused to go for pizza or pasta !!! This went on for about 5minutes. I guess it’s a very normal thing :p .
Finally we decided to order pizza. Their pizza follows strict adherence to the culinary discipline of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) – from the preparation of raw ingredients to the cooking method in an approved wood-fired oven. As it is the first pizzeria in Northwest to receive the coveted VPN certification.
Wood-fired oven – Doesn’t that make one drool ??????
As suggested by the maitre d’ , we ordered Prosciutto E Funghi. It’s made of tomato sauce, prosciutto di parma, mushroom, fresh mozzarella, basil. It was baked in wood fired oven right in front of our eyes. Well yaaah… on our table, in a few minutes.

The food here is inspired by the authentic, wood-fired pizzas born in Naples and the cuisine found throughout Italy with the finest imported and locally sourced ingredients along with artisan traditions and welcoming service to bring the definitive Neapolitan pizza.
Here’s a little about the interiors. The interiors have been done aesthetically. It makes absolute justice to the food. You can see your pizza in the wood-fired oven. The interiors there matches the typical Italian style. Founded in 2004 in Seattle’s Columbia City neighborhood, they have grown in Seattle, Bellevue and Issaquah — open daily for lunch, dinner and happy hour.

So now you know where to go if you want to have some Italian pizza with the feeling of being in Italy, or if you want to celebrate your anniversary or some occasion. Tutta Bella is the place and trust me, it’s quite reasonable 🙂
Talking about food, how can one complete the dinner without dessert? Hell ya!! I am a complete dessert person. I didn’t even have the patience to take a picture of the dessert. But i can definitely suggest these two :
Gelato – salted caramel chocolate chip is what we had and fell in love with it. It’s perfect if you are not too much of a sweet tooth. Not too sweet, not too salty.. Just right and Filomena’s Tiramusu.
Must try these twooooo!!
