To never return to cafe bella after one time of inadaquate service is ignorant. You and your party should have realized that to show up to cafe bella at eight o clock at night is stupid. Getting to cafe bella at five o clock is an absolute must for excellent service and few patrons. As for the food it well worth the price each meal is made to perfection and I have never had a bad meal. If you do go back ask to sit in another waiter/waitress section. Why deny your self a good meal.

Amazing Food, Great Service
I have been to Caffe Bella twice and both times the food was amazing. The tuna steak, which was served along side tasty roasted potatoes and delicious vegatbles, was cooked perfectly. The pork tenderloin was also unbelievable - tender and served with a succulent wine sauce. The service was friendly, informative, and timely. I recommend Caffe Bella for a special occasion.

Excellent Food, Excellent Service, One of the Best Meals I Have Ever Had
I felt the need to respond to the previous review, as it is certainly not indicative of the dining quality of the restaurant. The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is charming and warm. I have dined at Caffe Bella several times, and all experiences I have had with the waitstaff have been extremely good. The staff, and particularly the owner/head chef (Mr. Patrick Barnes), are attentive and accomodating to the specific needs of customers. Having been in the restaurant business in Florida for a long time, I have come to expect high standards, and I have never been disappointed with the service at Caffe Bella. Almost all of the food is outstanding, and I especially recommend a special appetizer: occasionally, they have fresh figs drizzled in honey and stuffed with melted gorgozonla cheese. Served with prosciutto, this is one of the most heavenly tasting dishes I have ever had in my life, and I don't know of any establishment, even in Italy, that does it better.

Good Food but Deplorable Service Causes Customers to Not Return
The decor is absolutely adorable and most of the food was really amazing. My dish, the fresh rigatoni with wild mushrooms and duck, was good, but not worth the $19. We sat at 8pm on a Monday night and waited 45 minutes for our waitress to take our food order. Then waited another 45-60 minutes for our food to come out. Again, our waitress pulled a disappearing act and we had to ask another waiter to wrap our meals and bring our check. Our waitress brought the check herself, after another 10 minute wait. She only had one table by this point, us. Although the food was decent, the revolting service of Stephanie will cause us not to return.
