You can go to Potawatomi Hotel and Casino and have a great time without spending a cent on a game of chance. The complex includes bars, a live performance venue, charming gift shop and many options for the hungry. One such place is the new Bella Italiana, ensconced on the third floor of the casino. 

Bella Italiana, in the former space of the Wild Earth Cucina Italiana, is, indeed, a beautiful (and comfortable) dining venue with recessed and indirect lighting, soft-colored walls, gentle, Italian American music, candle-lit tables and upholstered seating. Servers are friendly and helpful. The whole ambiance is that of fine dining, but sans both intimidation and wallet-thinning prices. Its menu is extensive—numerous options for appetizers, flatbreads, pastas, soups, sandwiches, salads, entrées, desserts and beverages.
