Customer Restaurant Reviews & Recipe

Bellissimo Spinach Salad Recipe

This diner loved Bellissimo's Spinach Salad so much she wanted the recipe...
Thanks for a great dining experience last week whilst we holidayed in Melbourne. We loved the spinach salad – the one with not much more than spinach, almonds, shaved parmesan (?) and some sensational dressing. I am really hoping you might share the recipe for this salad with me. - Kylie
...of course the restaurant obliged (view the recipe)
