Eat out on Monroe property at Bella Balducci's.Whether you’re looking for a new place to eat lunch or a nice spot for take out, head to Bella Balducci’s Mediterranean Cuisine, conveniently close to any Monroe property. The restaurant was founded by three brothers, Kevin, Ramin, and Sean. The whole family is involved, from the brother’s father and uncle to their wives. They focus on taking great care of their customers, bringing in great people to work in the restaurant, and finally, using top-quality ingredients in all their dishes. Every dish is made fresh daily--nothing is ever frozen.

Take a culinary tour around the Mediterranean without leaving the Monroe property area. The Bella Balducci’s menu starts you off with calamari, dolmas, tzatziki and pita bread, hummus and pita bread, and babaganoush and pita bread. Try a slice of spanikopita or the falafel balls.

For those who need their lunch in a hurry, the sandwiches served in pita bread are a great choice. Try beef, lamb, or chicken gyro. Vegetarians will enjoy the falafel gyro. Round out the meal with a bowl of soup or a small Greek salad. Those who have heartier appetites can choose a full plate, which comes with rice, tzatziki, hummus, pita bread, and a Greek salad. In addition to the gyros, there’s also souvlaki--grilled chicken, beef, or lamb. The dinner entree menu is more extensive and includes a great selection of pasta dishes. Try the fettucini carbonara with chicken, linguini al pesto with prawns, or four cheese tortellini with Italian sausage.

Bella Balducci’s is a great place to go with kids, as there is a children’s menu with their favorites. Kids can have chicken strips with fries, spaghetti and meatballs, gyro slices and fries, or butter noodles with parmesan.

Save room for dessert, so you can have a serving of baklava, a slice of tiramisu, or a scoop of saffron ice cream.
