Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes).

Everyone enjoyed their meal (4). I like a softer bun so I didn’t eat it but my husband likes a toasted bun so he ate it. Service was excellent.

We had a good experience at Bell In Scona. They appeared to be short-staffed and our server did her best to be attentive. The food was quite good and there were some good beer selections.
