Bella Vie succeeds Aria Melanie in Bay Shore with savory Italian food

Bella Vie, which mixes Italian and French in its name and adds even more in its kitchen, is the creative heir to the now-closed Aria Melanie. Chef Fabrizio Perinelli, a master of pasta who came to the South Shore from south of Rome, on July 13 demonstrated how he makes gnocchi alla bava, a classic Northern Italian recipe.
