Bella Piazza, Fairfield

At the start of each day in Bella Piazza Ristorante’s kitchen, mounds of fresh dough are transformed into gnocchi, linguine noodles, and piles of spaghetti. Freshly made marinara, rosa, and Bolognese sauces flavor the eatery’s pastas, along with classics such as eggplant parmesan and veal marsala. Chefs also grill tender steaks and soak calamari in its own ink. In the dining room, murals transport diners to Italy with faux rustic stone walls and a painted window overlooking the sea.
