DELICIOUS FOOD @ CALA BELLA

A little piece of Italy is alive and well in Orlando at Cala Bella. Delicious pastas, seafood, steaks, salads, and fine wines are all prepared by Specialty Chef Ricky Lopez.

Cala Bella provides a romantic atmosphere, with arch vaulted ceilings, gorgeous Italian artwork, and a large selection of excellent wines. Cala Bella means "Beautiful Creek" in Italian, and is a fitting name considering the restaurant is located in Shingle Creek, the excellent luxury vacation hotel and championship golf course.

If you've never been to Tuscany, this may be the next best thing. Try the Penne ai Gamberetti or the Baked Scallops Napoli. You won't be disappointed. I certainly wasn't.
