Come Experience Great Italian Dishes in Lafayette, LA

In the years that we have traveled and eaten throughout Italy, we have come to think of ourselves as Marco Polo with a fork.

Do we have a favorite place? Of course we do. You will probably figure it out as you read our menus, but I remind you that there are at least 50 other cities that we would visit and dine in , given the chance.

In Italy, the mind and the senses are always engaged. Everything there has a meaning and occupies a place that is part of the larger whole. The Italian person is a person who seeks to understand what all this means. So being a gourmet traveller in Italy is not only about eating in well-regarded restaurants, luxury accommodations and shopping. It is about making connections with a culture, a lifestyle, a philosophy, a people and their history.

This is the Italy of conspicuous consumption, where what you drive, how you dress, where you live, what you eat, demonstrates the beautiful image known as Cafe Bella. Buon Viaggio e Buon Appetito! Jack & Mickie
