Trattoria Bella Vita

Description:

• In Italy, a Trattoria is a neighborhood restaurant that serves home-style meals in an informal setting. Trattoria Bella Vita, the only restaurant in Mt Soledad, La Jolla, lives up to that description. This delightful little place gives diners a taste of Sicily at very modest price. The chef puts his own stamp on Sicilian meatballs, so try them with your choice of pasta. This interesting preparation made with pine nuts, chopped raisins and fresh mint is the chef's signature dish. Everything is made from scratch, and diners can tell the ingredients are fresh. That's why the chef also includes several daily specials that take advantage of the market's freshest produce. Enjoy Trattoria Bella Vita's friendly atmosphere, delicious home-style Italian cooking and pleasant service any time but Monday.
