This cafe has really grown on me! We've been here a handful of times, most visits happen on a weekday between 4pm and 6pm. Their happy hour menu is honestly not too bad, they have a yummy lemon drop on there and I've also ordered their tacos and pizza and wine combo. I usually bring my son, so definitely family friendly. I do feel like service is a bit slower during the weekday afternoons than weekends, but food and drinks are always good! read more

We were recommended by his cafe and decided to come see for ourselves. The ambiance was nice they have both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. It seemed pretty busy but not overly crowded. The drinks and food were really great. Unfortunately once we got our food we were completely forgotten. read more

Have visited Bella Bru a couple times and thought I had already written a review (face palm). My favorites are the Thai salad, watermelon refresher, cookies, fruit basket cake and today we had happy hour nachos. How did I not know about happy hour?! The nachos were topped with carnitas, guac, salsa and layered with black beans and cheese. Carlo and Araceli took great care of our party. read more

This is one of my places I normally go to when I am in the Natomas area. I had the turkey, bacon, and avocado omelette. I had it with egg whites and fruit and they were accommodating. The omelette was good and had a good amount of turkey meat in it. The only complaint was that the cheese wasn't as melted and it was not as hot to my taste. Overall, service was good and they have a nice outdoor seating area. I would definitely come back to try the other menu items. read more

Another solid Bella Bru brunch! We love coming here after our Saturday morning runs and the staff are always excellent! Today was rainy and inside was warm and cozy. The amazing sourdough bread with my omelette is my favorite morning meal and today our table ordered a $10 muffin platter with carrot cake, blueberry and banana nut. The banana nut was TO DIE FOR! Next time I'll try the pumpkin cream cheese muffin. You can also get savory bagels; next time, jalapeno cream cheese is on my list. Thanks Liz for always saving a space for us! read more

Came here for a weekday breakfast. I ordered the Southwest Burrito and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. The burrito held up very well and the filling was cooked to perfection. Looking forward to trying more of the menu. read more

The Bella Bru coffee was delicious! My favorite part of the meal. My chilaquiles were good, I wish it had some sort of crunch element to it. It was pretty moist and the tomato sauce wasn't amazing. My girlfriend got the Pesto Omelet which was also good. read more

We had some friends in town and decided to take them out to a local breakfast place. Bella Brue Cafe was right there and i have never been to it and decided to give it a try. The place had a large area of seating outdoor+ indoors. It was such a nice morning that we decided to eat outside. We were immediately seating and the waiter was very friendly. We got the chicken fried steak and egg omelets. Both items were extremely delicious. The omelette was the winner. The sauce they had on the omelette went so well with it. The amount of stuffing inside fulfil my hunger! read more

My family and I have been coming to this Bella Bru for years! Never had a bad experience. Their food is always delicious. The service is always on point. The desserts that you see when you first walk in the door always look so fresh. I love the open outdoor patio area. It's so nice to dine outside on a beautiful day. The outdoor patio is large enough to where you don't feel crammed. The restaurant is very clean inside and out. Even the bathrooms are always clean and stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. The bartenders make excellent cocktails and mimosas! Perfect place for brunch. Looking forward to continuing traditions here!! read more

We wanted to try their brunch but arrived later than expected so we decided on giving their pizza a try and were so glad we did!! We loved the thin crust and reminded me of New York pizza! We ordered half sicilian & half mushroom truffle pizza! They were baked perfected and so well seasoned! I had my doubts ordering a pizza here but this might be one of my top places to get pizza! read more

First time for breakfast there. Same yummy on my plate. Spottier service (staffing on weekends can be a nightmare, I get it!). Supper has always been more attentive. Hubs had a combo meal with French toast, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. He was satisfied, but underwhelmed. I had quiche Lorraine with potatoes and a side of Benedict sauce. Heavenly. A little pricey for our budget, so it'll be a splurge choice, not a regular, and weekdays, not weekends. read more

The service on this visit was very good. Our server had good timing and attentive. The quiche was great. Flavorful and arrived warm. The fresh fruit...kinda on the dry side (?) But sweet. The waffle was average. Potatos came undercooked but they were nice enough to fix this though still came unserseasoned....average. also had a carmel coffee and iced mocha. They were ok. Their hot chocolate seems to be my favorite. read more

I gave this place a second chance and am glad I did. Latest visit that I enjoyed: Steak Salad with lots of flavor, French 75 mocktail in a nice chilled glass and a cup of soup with fresh baked bread. Sat inside on a cold winter's night. The salad dressing was a little heavy, especially considering there was also pesto and caramelized onion. I would get the dressing light or on the side next time. First visit two years ago that I did not like: a bland pasta lunch seated outside in the summer sun. I much prefer this place for a cozy cold-weather time. It is family-friendly and has good variety on the menu for different tastes. Bonus: the takeout coffee counter is like a coffee shop in Natomas which has so few. read more

Had a great experience here for brunch! As always, I checked out their gluten free and dairy free options and I got the avocado toast with their gluten free bread and it was super yummy and just what I was looking on this particular morning. My brunch date got the southwest breakfast burrito and said it was super yummy (not gluten free). If you're looking for a cute and casual "hometown-feel" nostalgic diner experience, this is the spot! The staff were super sweet and friendly! read more

The service was attentive, but the food and drink were significantly lacking. For a price point of 16-18$ per entree it was highly disappointing. The breakfast burrito (made with extra veggies not meat) had 3 pieces of cold yellow squash and a ton of uncooked nearly raw potatoes within it. Also, it did not come with a side. Others did not enjoy their meals, reporting eggs benedict was tasteless with slimy lunch meat style ham. Lattes were fine but had an overly synthetic cheap syrup taste that turned us all off. Again, fast service, but terrible food. We wanted to like this place, but we will stick to more tried and true spots in Sacramento. read more

Excellent service, good food, but avoid the coffee. I stopped here to get a small bite and the bagel was good but the coffee was terrible. I got a latte and it was watery and flavorless to the point where we couldn't drink them. I think this place has potential and I will be back but I hope they make strong coffee drinks in the future. read more

I have the pleasure of writing this while I wait for my server to come collect our check. First and last time visiting Bella Bru unfortunately. I settled on the sunrise breakfast with bacon -- specifically asked for over medium eggs. My English muffin was limp and soggy, the eggs were over easy, with lots of white liquid remaining. decided to ask for to-go containers and remake the meal at home. Their service match the energy put into the food. Although our server was multi tasking while serving us (watched her do side work while we waited for our requests) it caused us to spend a lot of time waiting for the to-go boxes or our check to be picked up. So much, we left waiting for a bag that should have been brought with the to-go containers. Place was poppin by the time we left - so some people have good visits. Today just wasn't in the cards for us. Best of luck! read more

Ordered takeout. Lemon Artichoke Chicken dinner for $23 it was tiny (see picture with butter knife for scale) and all tossed in together with liquid pooling at the bottom. Tasted like grocery store rotisserie chicken but drier. Salmon dinner ($26) wasn't much bigger but at least tasted good. Quesadilla from the small plates menu was bigger than either entree but inedible- so greasy it left an oil slick on the next one in the stack. Flavor was boring and fatty. Won't be going back. Only the salmon was eaten - everything else was thrown out. Now the one who ate the salmon is vomiting. read more

Horrible dinner! I had the special: vegan enchiladas, trip tip and cucumber salad. I couldn't cut the tri tip with a knife and fork the meat was so tough. Then I tried to chew it. I think the bottom of a shoe would have been more tender. And the tri tip had a horrible sauce on it. The enchilada was not good and both the tri tip and enchilada were not hot (temperature). And the cucumber salad was a sloppy mess. At least the entre was removed from my bill. Nice service from Jessica, but if I were her I would look for a job in a better restaurant. Also, only a handful of customers were dining. That's a sign that the food is not good. In conclusion, I drove over to In and Out Burger and got the #2 cheeseburger & fries. I will not return to Natomas Bella Bru Cafe. A "one star" rating is being generous as far as I'm concerned. read more

I sat outside for 25 minutes before waiter offered drink or menu. Then took another 10-15 to come to take order ended up leaving

Food smelled funny when the server set it down. Not wanting to be rude I tasted it and knew something was off. Fast forward an hour later and was sick to my stomach. Had a simple meal nothing high end end or complicated eggs and french toast. This place used to be good but this was just greasy and gross to be honest. The servers were fairly polite but a little pushy.Honestly at one point had two servers talking over each other. Gave 1 start for the service effort but won't return. You guys used to be good but have been declining for the last 2-3 years. Still not feeling well after eating there this past Sat. (three full days ago)! Never going back! read more

Perfect place for our bookclub meeting! Great food and delicious drinks. Our bartender was very quick and attentive!

Beautiful decor, friendly staff, and yummy food! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Bella bru used to be a favorite. It has now become a place even when it's not a holiday, a three hour dining experience regardless. And this has happened multiple times. We understood that visiting this restaurant on a holiday would add extra time, however, not being seated after an hour and 20 minutes is unacceptable after being told , the wait would be forty five. After that it was going to be another twenty minutes before being seated. I was noticing people next to us had to wait for drinks for forty minutes and they were seated! We heard that the drink register wasn't working, And that created the issue. It was awful on top of awful. They didn't have enough wait staff, there were empty open tables that were not being filled.So the wait time was ridiculous for nothing. They now charge more for their food and have smaller portions. for their food as well. I don't think I'll be returning. This ruined my holiday. read more

The three egg omelette with bacon, onions, cheese, potatoes with bell peppers and onions, the walnut cranberry bread with butter on it say less man this is a top-tier café and you get your food quick and fresh and the customer service is at the top of the list.

Got the French dip with a house salad. The sandwich bread itself was soggy and falling apart. Basically had to use a fork and knife to eat. The greens for the house salad were super wilted and hard to eat. The flavor was good but the soggy food was not fun to eat. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

Came here after a Yelp Elite event to wrap up the night and this place did not disappoint. This location offers a chill vibe and happy hour pricing is superb and affordable. Service was top tier both times we came. Our order: HH chicken nachos-nothing to write home about but filling HH fried jalapeños - flavorful HH chicken "slider"- their menu had switched over and the slider was now one semi mini burger which was tasty and filling. HH bottle of wine 50% off read more

This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant, and I really love the food and the service. They have outdoor seating if you want to dine outside, as well as cozy indoor searing. The ambiance gives upscale Black Bear Diner vibes. The customer service is kind and attentive. We were seated promptly, our orders were taken, and our food was hot and freshly prepared. I had my 3 young adults with me, and two ordered the blackened salmon sandwich. One ordered the crab cake sandwich, and I ordered the salmon blt sandwich. DELICIOUS!!!! I have had both the salmon sandwich and the salad before. The crab cake sandwich looked so good, I wished I had given it a try. And the young lady who had it LOVED IT!! The two who had the salads enjoyed them as well. I will say that after my first time coming here, I did a copy cat of the salad at home, so the girls knew what to expect. I brought them here so they could have it straight out of the kitchen where I had gotten the recipe idea. I will be back. There is a crab cake sandwich with my name on it! read more

They hosted our bookclub in the Luna Lounge upstairs. I had a margherita pizza and it was delicious.

Stopped by here to meet up with family. I was surprised that it wasn't as crowded considering they had plenty of space to accommodate a large crowd. Since the weather was warm, I asked to be seated at their outdoor area. Got a table with no issues. Since I was earlier than everyone I ordered a Prosecco while waiting. They only have one kind of Prosecco. It was good, floral but not too sweet or brut. It comes in the super small bottle and they fill it in your glass. After 5 min a gnat got in my glass. After hunting someone down, the lady hostess immediately apologized and swapped out my glass for another and refilled it. She saw the gnat and knew it was an instant no go for even her. I definitely appreciate that! Bc sometimes people really act like it's the guests fault. When my fam arrived I ordered a caesar salad. It was good. A large portion. Came with shaved parmesan and croutons. I opted out of adding any seafood or meats since I had another place to be shortly after. It was good. Doesn't seem like they make their own dressing but it wasn't bad either. Our guy hostess was super nice and even took a picture of us when we asked. I'd come back here since it was chill and spacious. Parking wasn't too bad considering it's a shared parking lot in a shopping center. Great for a late breakfast or early lunch. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. The place was a little crowded and busy. There were still tables available, they seated us right away. They had a small brunch menu, but I ordered a sandwich for lunch. I ordered the tuna melt with fries. My husband ordered the French dip and a cup of soup, clam chowder. The tuna melt tasted ok. I thought it was just a little tiny bit dry. The sandwich did taste good, but it needed a little more mayonnaise or something. The fries were ok, too. They weren't hot and crispy, just warm. My husband's French dip was good. He really liked the sandwich. read more
