A piece of Italy in the heart of Petone, La Bella Italia is part restaurant, part deli, and a place to learn more about Italian food and culture. Pizza is, of course, an important part of the menu. The dough is handmade and rested for 72 hours before heading into the oven. Many of the classics are on the menu, and you’ll find buffalo and cow’s milk mozzarella throughout. When you visit, make your foray into Italian cuisine even more authentic — finish off the meal with a tiramisu or affogato. The retail space alongside sells premium Italian products and pantry staples, too.
