    Chocolate cake
    Chuck D.

    Having just moved into the area I was looking for a good date night spot. Cafe Bella did not disappoint. The atmosphere was very romantic and perfect even though the place was packed it still felt intimate. The staff were friendly and helpful in deciding what to eat. We had a stuffed chicken dish in an amazing lemon wine sauce. But the chocolate cake was just to die for. We had an appetizer, split a salad and entree and ordered dessert for under $50. We brought our own bottle of wine and I gotta say I am excited for our next visit.

    Not the same place as it used to be a year ago. -They NO longer sell soft drinks (which wasn't as big of deal for me but was surprised, said something about a CO2 shortage after COVID) - Place is so dark at night, restrooms were pitch dark, had trouble finding the light switch). Very hard to see the food I was eating. - Service was good and fast, Food was decent at best, but they served me shrimp alfredo fettuccine WITHOUT REMOVING THE SHRIMP TAILS . This was a first time I've ever had to manually used my hands to remove shrimp tails from steaming hot pasta at a restaurant, nearly burning my fingers! Staff said it always came with tails which I do not recall it ever being the case in past visits. The waitress never even asked me if I wanted tails or no tails. Overall, pretty disappointed with the $23 visit. It used to be such a great place to go to, not anymore. Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere.

    Cafe Bella is such a cute little Italian restaurant. I came here a few years ago and was craving pasta recently, so I decided to come back. The portions are large for what you're paying, so I'd say it's pretty affordable for what you get. For starters, we ordered the mozarella sticks (fried mozarella), which were delicious and a classic. They also bring out complimentary bread rolls with an oil dip. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, which you can't go wrong with. You can bring your own wine, but I'm not sure if they serve any in-house. The area around Cafe Bella isn't the most scenic in my opinion, but the entrance and outdoor patio are full of greenery, which makes up for it. The lighting inside is dim and seemed more appropriate for a more fancy and romatic vibe. My friends and I were in a bit more casual mood, so we sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather. There plenty of lot parking available. Overall, Cafe Bella is a lovely and more affordbale (in my opinion compared to others in the FW area) Italian restaurant. I recommend!

    Girls night was a hit! Beautiful decor and ambience update since our last visit. We were comforted from appetizer, entree, & dessert with our choices. The calamari was ok; need a bit more of flavor and crunch. My chicken piccata was lemony light satisfaction. My friends devoured their eggplant Parmigiana with traditional and another substituted Alfredo sauce. We chatted & gabbed over our BYOB delicious Cabernet. Tge tiramisu was good with a lovely presentation. It gets busy around 6 pm on a weekend but seemed efficient. No reservations so be aware of wait times. A definition gem that I'm glad we have!

    Roses are red. Violets are blue. I love this restaurant & so will you!

    This was my 1st time eating at Café Bella. I have lived within 2 miles of this restaurant since 2012 & refused to eat here until today. I grew up in an Italian household & my Nana made the best homemade Italian food. Until today, every time I have eaten at an Italian restaurant, I have been horribly disappointed! Today was totally different!! If my Nana were still here, I would bring her to this restaurant!! My Nana would love this food!!! But, also, the aroma of all the fresh roses when you 1st walk in the door! The aroma is divine! The food is straight from Heaven!! It is so good, every bite was like your tastebuds orbiting to another world! The gentleman that waited on us was kind & attentive! I should have asked him if my Nana was in the kitchen!! I sure do miss my Nana but coming to Café Bella was like having my Nana back again!! This is one of the best restaurants in all of Ft. Worth... possibly the entire United States!

    Very good food, the Aristocrat was delicious! The service was amazing, the waiter was very friendly and good at refilling waters! Also it has a nice chic decor to it! Great for a birthday dinner or nice family outing!

    It was my mom's birthday and she was in the mood for Italian. I had heard good things about Pie Tap…read moreso Pie Tap it was! We came in on a cold Monday night. We parked at street parking across the restaurant without issue. Inside, we were promptly seated. The inside is nice and dim with an open kitchen. We started the night off with the Fondue. The rosemary buffs were delicious and the perfect vehicle for the two different dips - goat cheese fondue and pecan pepper jam. I really enjoyed the goat cheese. It was nice and hearty, pairing very well with the bread. The pepper jam added a sweet touch but I'm more a savory person so I was more than content with the cheese itself. My mom got the papparadelle and bolognese while I got the sausage pizza. The papparadelle was nice and al dente. It paired well with the bolognese sauce. However, I felt it was warm when it came out so it got cold quickly. The sausage pizza was delicious! The star of the pie were easily the carmelized onions - added such a perfect level of sweetness that it really elevated the whole dish. The crust also went well with the cheese from the fondue. At this point in the evening, we were feeling pretty full. Nonetheless, our waiter, Seamus, knew it was my mom's birthday. With that in mind, he treated us to the donuts. They came with chocolate sauce and strawberry jam. Both were good. I personally preferred the chocolate since that's what I usually lean more towards. We thought it was such a nice gesture. The night was that much more special because of Seamus. Overall, althrough everything wasn't perfect (not that it should have been), the work and effort was clearly there. Looking forward to coming back again one day.

My parents were in town and we decided to come here for my birthday in fact. Usually, we would have walked. Though it was pretty cold outside. There's a small lot that's right at the entrance (or back) of the restaurant. However, in the likely case that it's full, there's a spacious lot that's nearby next to the parking garage as well. Inside, we were quickly seated. Our waitress brought out our drinks promptly. We knew what we wanted so we ordered then and there as well. For appetizers, we got the Artichokes Classique. I'm not the biggest artichokes fan. I may or may not have been trying to convince my parents that I have a sophisticated adult palate and this looked like it would do the job. The artichokes were lightly fried with a crispy exterior. They retained their earthy, taste. Paired well with the slightly spicy, garlicky calabrian chile aioli. My dad got the Chicken Parm Sandwich. It was nice and meaty - solid chicken parm! What really stood out, in my opinion, was the side caesar salad. They used whole gem lettuce as opposed to romaine which I felt offered a better texture, presentation, and helped with the dressing distribution. My mom, or rather all of us, got the Chorizo y Miele which was their pizza of the month for Feburary. Without a doubt, it was one of the many highlights of this night. It's a sweet-spicy pizza with rich, salty sausage accented by an appropriate amount of habanero honey drizzle. I had never had sweety drop peppers but it was such a nice addition in terms of presentation for the month of February, texture with the slight cruchiness of the whole pepper, and flavor with the slight spice. Last but not least, the texture of the pizza was phenomenal. The crust had that nice smokey flavor - perfect base for all of the ingredients on top. Finally, I got the Truffle Carbonara. Rich. Decadent. Mindblowing. This is easily one of the top three carbonaras that I have ever had. It was so delicious. The truffle flavor is not overwhelming at all - just the right amount. Lastly, I want to comment on the stellar service. We were checked on frequently by our wonderful waitress. Additionally, since it was my birthday, we had brought a cake from a bakery to the restaurant. Not only did she offer to store the cake in the fridge, but she made sure that we had enough plates, silverware, and even a lighter for the candles. Truly made sure that the evening was special! Overall, I'm looking forward to one day coming back to Cane Rosso. From trying the unique monthly pasta and pizza specials to the wonderful service, you can't go wrong with a meal here!

We grabbed a booth and ordered a large pepperoni, and it didn't take long before it came out hot and smelling unreal.

When I took my first bite, it was immediately obvious the pizza was not fresh. The cheese wasn't hot or melty like a freshly made pizza should be. Instead, it appears they used pre-made slices that were already sitting out and combined them to make a 14" pizza. I did not receive a fresh pie--just reheated, old slices passed off as a new pizza. That's unacceptable, especially at this price point. If a customer orders a fresh large pizza, it should actually be made fresh, not assembled from leftover slices and warmed up. Very disappointed and I will not be returning to this location. Customers should be aware that ordering a "fresh" pizza here may result in exactly what I experienced--a rip-off.
