Tuesday night I went to Ciao Bella with our resident vegan blogger, Bianca Phillips, to check out the restaurant’s new options for diet-restricted diners. Chef Jonathan Steenerson wants Memphis to know that his kitchen is a friendly place for vegans and carnivores, carb-lovers and gluten-freebies alike.
Steenerson let us sample a number of vegan items that aren’t on the menu, but are available by request. We were particularly impressed with the grilled vegan mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic reduction and a vegan coconut lemon sorbet.
