We enjoyed our food and experience at Cafe Bella. It was our first time here and when we walked in, it seemed warm and inviting. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was good with a little Cajun spice flare, which set it apart from most Italian restaurants. The only disappointment came when I was told they were out of the Spaghetti Vongole after I ordered it and had to order lasagna instead, which turned out to be delicious.Also, no salad comes with the meal and when asked if there was a dinner salad, the waitress said, “oh yes,” but she didn’t say it was the actual full salad on the menu and we would be charged full price for it. The Caesar salad had a horseradish taste and the croutons had a kick to them. Other than that, everything was great.
After 50 minutes of waiting with empty glasses we finally received our appetizer. It was small but tasty. 1:40 into the experience we finally received our entrees. The snapper was average. The pork shank was a different story. Taste was off like leftovers that are kept too long. The inner portion of meat was ice cold. Obviously this was not fresh cooking but microwaved. Let the waiter know that my food was ice cold. No apology, no can we fix it. Just a bill including the shank I did not eat. Chef Ramsey definitely needs to visit this place.
4/19/22 came here for the very first time with my lunch dateMr. Jack the owner was very friendly. The staff seemed very nice and attentive, too.The eatery was not too crowded at all, so it was quite pleasant to enjoy an intimate setting.Items ordered:1. Italian Sausage-- it is sliced and cooked in a brown gravy (this is different than how I have usually seem it prepared).2. Meatballs--small prepared meatballs in that GREAT-TASTING bolognese sauce3. Mozerella salad--yummy and fresh4. The TURKEY PANNINI IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!5. Braised Pork Cheek is AWESOME!!!! YUMMY-YUM-YUM!!!I will be back to try the other menu items. This restaurant is also very clean!
Great Italian place! The food was delicious and the service was good. I ordered the turkey sandwich with vegetables and my husband had the lasagna, bread was warm and the mix of olive oil and balsamic very good
I just had a terrible experience in there. I called to order for pick up and they rudely said that they couldn’t do that for me. I asked if I could go and get to go and they said “only if you arrive in like 5 minutes” and it was at 8pm. I went to the restaurante, the guy was nice at the beginning but when I said I wanted to order to go he started acting really rude and as people came in he started asking if they wanted to pick up to go orders, then why they couldn’t take mine? Things got worse, I waited 30min for a salmon salad and is the worst salad I’ve seen. The place seems fine but I can’t understand why if I’m paying my dinner they can’t deliver a quality meal and service. Definitely don’t recommend
Nice comfortable atmosphere. Delicious Italian cuisine. Friendly efficient service. Highly recommend for a nice evening out.
Excellent food. Great atmosphere
The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Since I was a first time visitor and from out of town, I took the recommendation of the server: Seafood and Eggplant Sicilia. It tasted OKAY. The cream sauce didn't have very much jalepeno flavor. I appreciated the fried eggplant, and the copious amounts of shrimp and crab meat. But the dish was just a little bland, and almost had that "dish soap" taste, like the pans weren't rinsed well before cooking. I would be willing to visit again and try a different, less pricey dish. The Seafood and Eggplant Sicilia is probably enough to share, paired with the bread served. Oh! The bread was great!
Ordered the bolognese - while good, not worth the price. The texture of the meat was unpleasant and did not bring a pleasurable mouthful. The Caeser salad was plentiful yet did not have any of the traditional cheese. The crouton batch was quite spicy and did not elevate the flavors, thus taking away from the expected comfort flavors.
very good Italian food
