My wife and I have been going here since it was called Bella Figura. We love everything at Café Bella. I always get the Jalepeno Pasta or the Pasta Revella.

I enjoyed my lunch visit at Café Bella today. It’s a small cozy restaurant near a busy part of town. The owner did a great job making us feel welcome and personally brought out our complimentary bread and olive oil. At the recommendation of my lunch companion, I chose the lasagna. What an excellent choice! It was delicious — tender pasta, generous meat and robust sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. The sauce was just as I like it. The lasagna was the perfect size portion, not the over the top large sizes you may get elsewhere, but definitely filling. The top had somewhat of a crust to it and had to be cut with a knife. Our waitress was cordial and kept our drinks full. I enjoyed the meal and service overall. My only negative feedback was the lack of convenient parking options as I ended up parking at a nearby business, which gave me a little«towing» anxiety. But sometimes that can’t be helped. I truly enjoyed my experience and plan to return.

Lunched here with a few coworkers here and we were very disappointed. The service was off. It took us forever to even get our water. Also, we were all surprised at the portion of the salads — super SMALL. Ingredients were good but definitely not worth the $ 18 for the portion. Finally, when leaving the manager asked how everything went and we explained how bad the service was the manager hardly apologized. She did not even ask who our waiter was. She asked us to come back in a few weeks after they work«some kinks out».

For date night, my husband and I decided to try Café Bella. We had eaten at Bella Figura quite a few times in the past and had always enjoyed their food. For appetizers we started with the stuffed portabella mushroom and the Arancini Riso. The portabella had a lovely cream sauce and wonderful flavor. The Arancini Riso was just ok, the Italian sausage to cheese ratio was overly favorable to the cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I love cheese, but there should have been a little more sausage. For the main course I had the Veal Ossobucco Milanese and my husband had the Veal Picatta. Both were done very well! The Ossobucco had that wonderful flavor and the bone marrow was divine! The Veal Picatta was good, but in my opinion the star on that dish was the ravioli with the lemon caper sauce. For dessert we had the Crème Brulee and Tiramisu. Crème Brulee was outstanding with that wonderful eggy custard and crunchy sugar top. The tiramisu was presented a little differently than what we were accustomed to but it was good also. Service was great and the place had a nice ambiance! Will definitely eat here again!

Quality ingredients as always. First time at this location after years of Bella Figura patronage. The Café was nice and bright with friendly helpful staff. Owners greeted us as usual. We went for lunch and were very happy with the entire lunch menu which had a perfect selection of salads, pastas and sandwiches. I had the seafood mac’s ’ cheese which was the perfect serving size for lunch. I typically find most mac’s lacking any spice but this mac was a pleasant surprise otherwise. The flavors of the seafood were delicious with a not — too — rich cheese sauce. My guest had the goat cheese salad but added chicken and changed the dressing. Without the chicken it would have been a very small salad; not really enough for lunch. The flavors were delicious with cranberries, pecans and very fresh greens. They were a little light on the goat cheese so next time we order this salad we’ll ask for a little more. The prices were a little high for lunch with our bill at $ 25 for only these two items but the quality made it worthwhile. Next time we’ll come for dinner and hit the beautiful huge bar area before we dine. Heads up… very little parking in the area.

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity of eating at the new Bella. As usual the food was excellent. It was late so we did not go full bore on the wine and food but service was excellent. Saturday evening we plan on giving it a real test with guests from Houston.
