"My wife and I have visited Bella Fresca several times over the last couple of years, for lunch and dinner. Every time, the service has been attentive but not overbearing, the food excellent, and the ambience calm. We love it. My only complaint would be that the sign is too small or muted; I almost miss it every time. Our favorite dishes to date: crusted halibut on risotto (tomato risotto one time, lemon risotto the next), scallops on pork belly on grits, filet mignon, beef Wellington. The beef Wellington was a special and absolutely perfect. I was a bit perturbed when there were only three scallops on my plate when I ordered the scallops on pork belly, but by the time I finished the second, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to finish the third; it was delicious and very rich. Bella Fresca isn’t inexpensive by Shreveport standards, but I think it’s more than reasonable. The lunch menu is, in my opinion, a bargain; they serve lunch-sized portions, and we walk out not feeling overstuffed, just well fed. If you call ahead of time, they take special orders, if they’ve got the ingredients in their kitchen."
