Bella's Italian Cafe Serving Tampa the best Italian food since 1986! Bella's has been open for nearly 36 years, and for good reason.
(2219)

A casual, rustic ambience with a wood-fired oven and indoor and outdoor seating attract a sophisticated crowd of foodies of all ages. The restaurant's authentic Italian fare is delicious, from the paper-thin carpaccio with garlic, olives, capers, and basil, to the old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs. You can also create your own combination of pasta and sauce, choosing from a large list of options, or just order a pizza cooked in the oak-burning oven. Executive chef and co-owner Joanie Corneil studied cooking in Italy, and you can tell. For those who like a strong drink with their dinner, the Bella Rita is a popular potion of Conmemorativo tequila and Grand Marnier. On second thought, save that for after dinner so you can at least appreciate your meal as it's going down!

Now that’s a dream you don’t want to wake up from.

Be honest… do you always save room for dessert, or is dessert the reason you came? 😉

In Italy, pasta isn’t about the sauce—it’s about the pasta. 🇮🇹

Handmade the old-fashioned way with flour, egg, olive oil, a rolling pin and a little time. Simple ingredients, countless shapes, and a whole lot of respect for the pasta itself.

That’s Italian cooking. That’s the Bella’s way.
