Bella Ciao

What to say about Bella Ciao? After the nearly $1,000 dollars that we’ve spent at Akasaka over the past year, there is no other restaurant that has been the greater beneficiary of indiamama’s hard earned money. In our first days in the flat, pre-Joyce, Bello Ciao was our second (if not first) kitchen due to its good food and proximity to our place. We have come to recognize the subtleties of the penne with vodka sauce, spaghetti with pomodoro and basilica, the Bella Ciao salad and the brick oven pizzas. It is not great Italian food (and don’t you have to get homecooked to get great Italian?—like from our friend Costanza!), but good enough for us and always a breath of fresh air. The service has been good and they have home delivery, so it has become the default when we want a break from Indian food…

Why I Love this Time: Our evening walks to Bella Ciao along the beach.
