Bella's Italian Cafe

Good wine. Best Margarita Pizza I've ever had.

The best restaurant we have ever been to. No joke, so good we went back the next day. We had a variety of dishes, Bella’s Famous Chopped Salad, Confetti Spaghetti, Pepperoni Pizza, and Chicken Parmesan, all were excellent. And if you’re not sure what to get, just ask Ian. He was our fantastic server. I ordered a glass of red wine, that was good and when I was finished he brought me a short glass of”Taken” to try that was fabulous. So good I bought a bottle to bring home. We went at lunch time in shorts and tanks and felt comfortable but would also be a good place to go dressed nice for dinner. Classy and comfortable, with yummy food and great service all at a reasonable price.

Deliscious as always! We love that almost all the dishes (Confetti Spaghetti this time) can be made dairy free! Vegetarian options: All dishes can be made veg Dietary restrictions: Milk allergy and derivative friendly! They use "Selfish Cow' cheese... so good!

Not bad. Food quality was good but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back.

Great old Tampa restaurant.

Great happy hour deals. Pizza and pasta were delicious. Raspberry crème brûlée also very good.

Our first time at Bella’s was about a week ago and we brought friends who were visiting from out of town. We were quickly seated even though it was a busy night. We enjoyed all of our food and our friendly, attentive waiter. The bruschetta we received minutes after seating — PERFECTION — it made my palette excited to be there Bella’s has a nice neighborhood feel without being overly casual. I wouldn’t call it a high end dining experience but it is absolutely a nice and high quality experience — the food is straightforward and well made, the atmosphere is intimate with a classic “old-school” Italian family feel, and you feel welcome and well taken care of. Being welcomed was ESPECIALLY important to us in that moment because we had just left another local Italian restaurant with the most disappointing welcoming I have ever experienced and my boyfriend cancelled our reservation on the spot because of how the hostess treated me — he immediately found Bella’s as our alternative ❤️ Oh! I have to note a major bonus to the experience. Though it was busy when we were there, it wasn’t too loud. We could all happily enjoy our conversation over a good meal. We love connecting with people over meals whether gathering for family, friends, or business meetings and can’t stand when a place is so loud that even with good hearing you have to yell and lean in to hear one another I GREATLY appreciate that Bella’s had gracefully avoided that common issue ✅. Get the Lava cake!

My favorite Italian food in South Tampa! But the last three times we've been service was NOT good. Decided we'll only do take out from here.
