Bella's Italian Cafe

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.
(2228)

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 optio

ns, 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!

The flavors this weekend are worth making plans for. 🍷🍝

Pair a glass of Sangiovese Bianco with our Vongole Bianco—little neck clams, white wine, garlic, roasted grape tomatoes, and linguine. Craving comfort? Start with French Onion Soup and finish with New York-style cheesecake topped with raspberry purée and fresh blueberries.
