Keto
diets
and
generalized
anti-carb
hate
has
made
it
ever
so
difficult
to
find
people
who
are
willing
to
enjoy
pasta
with
me
first
thing
in
the
morning.
That's
the
only
excuse
I
can
offer
for
waiting
this
long
to
step
into
this
lovely
restaurant.
Located
at
a
prime
corner
of
the
food
hall
in
Ponce
City
Market,
Bellina
Alimentari
celebrates
pasta
in
a
way
no
other
Atlanta
eatery
I've
seen
yet.
Tumbles
of
fresh
pastas
of
all
shapes
and
sizes
sit
idly
behind
sneeze
guards
and
greeted
my
rumbling
stomach
more
amicably
than
our
friendly
waitress
as
soon
as
we
walked
in.
And
If
that
weren't
clue
enough
for
this
restaurant's
main
food
push,
the
menu
made
it
abundantly
clear
-
you
must
not
leave
without
trying
the
pasta.
But
which
one
to
order?
Seeing
me
caught
in
a
quandary,
our
server
recommended
the
lasagna,
which
turned
out
to
be
exactly
what
I
needed
and
more.
Layers
of
pasta,
mozzarella,
and
thinly
sliced
eggplant
were
neatly
tucked
beneath
a
beautifully
browned
and
crusty
layer
of
parmesan
cheese
that
crackled
tantalizingly
underneath
my
knife.
It
was
-
without
an
ounce
of
hyperbole
-
one
of
the
best
lasagnas
I've
ever
had
in
a
restaurant,
and
I'll
certainly
be
back
for
it
again.
If
the
food
weren't
already
so
cleverly
done,
the
service
alone
would
have
merited
repeat
visits.
One
of
our
servers
overheard
me
offering
my
friend
half
of
my
Caesar
salad
and
thoughtfully
offered
to
mete
it
into
two
portions.
When
another
server
heard
me
groaning
for
bread
to
drag
through
my
leftover
sauce,
he
cheerfully
came
by
with
two
enormous
hunks
of
warm,
soft
bread
drizzled
with
olive
oil.
It
made
a
wonderful
meal
even
greater,
and
made
me
think
this
would
be
a
great
place
to
bring
a
date.
(Also
to
note:
it's
not
mentioned
on
the
menu,
but
the
bartender
makes
mocktails
for
anyone
demurring
from
drink)
