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.
(2220)

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!

Confetti Spaghetti 🌈🍝 — a colorful South Tampa favorite for very good reason.

Creamy, full-flavored tomato sauce meets smoky-salty bacon, sweet crisp peas and perfectly cooked pasta. One bite and you’ll understand why it’s a Bella’s go-to.

Straight from our Bella’s cookbook to your kitchen. 🍕🍂

QUATTRO STAGIONI

A pizza that celebrates the changing seasons—one quarter at a time.

While pizzaiolos around Italy (and the world) may not always agree on which toppings belong to which season, here’s how we do it at Bella’s:

🌱 Artichokes = spring
☀️ Tomatoes & basil = summer
🍄 Mushrooms = fall
🫒 Ham & olives = winter

Make it at home this fall with your own little taste of Bella’s.



Just be careful—the seasons on your pizza change fast.
