La Strega Ristorante | Bella Vista — Restaurant in Bella Vista

Beautiful restaurant and very nice service. They did not have either of the wines I wanted, but the wine we ended up trying (the chianti by the glass) was very nice. Bruschetta was good, but over-priced in my opinion ($9.50 for three pieces - I would expect at least four). I had the ravioli de carne and my husband had the fettucini Strega. The ravioli was extremely disappointing - there is almost no meat (there is more meat in Chef Boyardee ravioli), can't taste the meat at all, pasta is too thick. The sauce and tomatoes are clearly from a can (besides the taste, I found a metal shaving in the sauce), which I don't have a problem with but you have to know how to season the sauce so it doesn't taste like aluminum.

Duran tea isn't worth the price...

Ok, so normally you'd figure restaurants to be busy or have people dining since they have reservations slots. But no. I walked in and there was no one there. Spent a good 2 hours and still no one. Not sure if people here just eat after 730pm or what, but infiund it strange. I had to grab the servers attention for my check even tho they removed my entree 30 mins before and yet, no one came back to the table. Food, I got the lasagna. It's one of my favorite dishes that I always get when I go to Italy, but I have to say, this was pretty close. So I would recommend the lasagna shoukd u come here. Just be prepared to sit around longer...
