The new menu of the restaurant, curated by Head Chef Monika Talwar, is extensive and reflects authentic Italian culture. It's one that will make you want to come back to try their exclusive dishes since I bet you won't be able to have it all in a single visit.
We started off with Minestrone Soup - a Roam-style soup with seasonal vegetables and a generous dollop of delicious pesto; this soup makes a perfect thing to start your evening with. Next, we moved to Grilled Prawns with Ginger Gel and Citrus Salad, and Seabass with Porcini Mash and Caper Butter Sauce. Both the salad and fish were an absolute delight. The salad was brimming with different flavours that complemented each other.
The overall vibe of Bella Cucina is interactive, lively and modern. So, the next time if you crave some delicious Italian food in the town, Bella Cucina at Le Meridien is the perfect place to be. Buon appetito!
