Bellavitae tonight--need suggestions!

I am going to bellavitae tonight. I heard good things about the fried meatballs, cauliflower, figs and caprese dishes. Any suggestions as to what to order for starters and what pasta or fish dish to finish it off with?

    Without a doubt, the cauliflower. Wonderful dish.

        For a starter, I like the ricotta fritters.

        Also, I know you didn't ask about dessert, but I love the chocolate pistachio "cloud" cookies.

            The gnocco fritto was great for a starter and I second the afogato for dessert.

              The Insalata Rughetta is wonderfully refreshing. It's an arugula salad with crispy pancetta and aged balsamic dressing. I don't know if it's still on the menu, but the spaghetti with cracked spicy tuna on top was sensational.
