    Dining by the "fireplace"

    We've dined at Cafe Bella Vita several times in the past, and it never disappoints. This latest time was on Thanksgiving and we were seated at the best seat of the house, by the cozy "fireplace". It was a busy evening but the waitstaff was just amazing; coming by often to ask if we needed anything, clearing our table after each course, and keeping our water glasses filled. We ordered the special turkey and shrimp scampi dinners, which were prepared perfectly. The stuffing from the turkey platter was incredible and the pasta from the scampi was just right. I can't speak enough about the quality of the food at CBV and their prices on this holiday were much more reasonable than restaurants in other parts of the city. We look forward to coming back in the future.

    I've passed this restaurant 1000x and I was so happy to attend a rehearsal dinner here and finally enjoy it. Wow what a great dinner in a private room. All the food was really delicious but I highly recommend the veal Marsala. It was tender and mushroomy. This is a great venue for a party or shower. They work well with budgets and dietary needs. Their open bar and drinks are great. Looking forward to booking something again here soon. There are many Italian options on SI but the gracious, warm service is what will keep me coming back.

Well, WAS is the key word. My husband gave it 3 star because of the mission of the Cafe, but the food he would give a 2. We ordered the cheese grits bowl for pickup. We got a container of cheese grits- okay but they needed salt and more cheese. A container of scrambled eggs cooked soft like we asked but they also needed salt, and a container with 2 sausage patties (which were flavorless). We also got a side of biscuits. Dry, seemed like the kind in a can- with no butter or honey, just a bunch of ketchup! My husband saw the banana pudding in the mason jar- so he added that to our order. $8. He went back in because he didn't see it. They said it was in a container. He returned and it was in there- in a very tiny container barely filled halfway- looking nothing like the one in the restaurant, and it wasn't that good, the bananas weren't ripe, and still hard. I'm thankful for the mission, so we may give it another try but maybe eating in is the way to go- we won't do takeout again!

The portions were decent sizes too. The chef came out to check that the orders were enjoyable. Very professional.

They brought us games to keep him busy, and they were very understanding about his behavior. They let us take up a 4 person table so he had space to get up and move around (within reason). Very family-friendly establishment. So grateful and will be returning!

    I took some days to let my experience simmer and truly give you a fair take on this cafe…read more I was there on a Saturday for a late breakfast date with my wife-it was on what seemed not too busy Memorial Day weekend. As my wife and I entered the cafe, we were exposed to the beautifully exposed brick, the warmth of wood all around and well appointed finishing touches. The coffee bar was gorgeous and the ambience was warm and inviting (big ++ on the games on the shelf). Both rooms were nicely decorated with lots of space (they also have a patio) definitely a 5 out of 5 on the decor and look! Our order consisted of the Ultimate sandwich for me-it was really delicious sausage, bacon, arugula, runny-egg w/ Aioli on a brioche bun that was buttery, it was well balanced with lots of flavor, paired with their drip coffee (reg cup of coffee) which was an about 6oz cup...they call it a large as stated on their menu but feels more like a small cup (by the way, surcharge on the bit of milk which they pour in). Coffee was smooth but small and no refills-kind of had my head scratching, but it is a cafe I guess that is the norm. My wife had the breakfast plate (scrambled eggs, homes fries and sausage. Home fries were very crunchy and flavorful, sausage had tons of flavor as well , the egg was season well, but the plate came with no bread of any kind, I wish they would pair it with a baked good to tie it all together. She tried their iced Tiramisu latte but it was under-whelming-sorry guys but it did lacked flavor for a specialty item, it seemed to only have chocolate syrup-nothing really that would say Tiramisu, like cold foam, no cinnamon, not even the cookie that is on their Insta account. Food overall was a 4 out of 5 only because of the coffee was subpar. The service, and here is where I think they really need help. If you are in the service industry, you really need to bring your game with every customer that comes through your doors, not just your regulars. Your service and attention to detail will bring the whole experience to another level. Unfortunately, from the bar, to the servers, they lacked skills that comes with experience. **Tips-train staff to be hospitable , and don't surcharge items (increase the price by buck or 2 to even out the cost). Would I give it another try-yes, would I recommend-yes.

The feta and spinach pastry, tuna salad and egg salad croissant were all very flavorful, but they overly light with the filling, where the ratio between the pastry and the filling were way too imbalanced (which you can easily see in the photos). For how much potential they have, if they add just a bit more filling to them they can easily become one of the top cafes in all of Staten Island. I hope they take this to heart for I really want them to do well and continue to become successful! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

The morning of our event there was snow on the ground, and Danielle, one of the owners, personally called early to confirm everything was still on. She shoveled herself out and drove in from New Jersey to make sure the coffee bar was set up and ready. That level of dedication and professionalism truly stood out. The coffee bar itself was a huge hit. They offered espresso drinks, cappuccinos, flavored lattes, oat milk options, and iced selections -- all made fresh to order. The quality was excellent and truly café-level, not just standard event coffee. The iced lattes were especially popular with our guests. The setup was polished and professional, the baristas were friendly and efficient, and it added such a fun, elevated touch to the brunch. If you're planning a wedding event, shower, or special celebration, I highly recommend Beans & Leaves. Exceptional service, delicious coffee, and a team that genuinely cares about your event.

We sat ourselves and then 15 minutes later we received our waters. bread came out at around the 20 minute mark. We didn't put in our drink and food orders until being there for about 30 minutes. Put our order in, server doesn't write anything down, but that's alright seen plenty of servers work that way. Appetizer comes out 25 minutes later, and the calamari was pretty good. So now we have Been here more than an hour, which is alright I guess but longer then usual from my experiences before reconfiguring a main dish. Then after the the appetizer gets taken away we then wait another 30 minutes for our main dish. We start getting antsy and hungry and the server comes up and tells me the food should be out soon. Great! Wait another 10 minutes and server comes back and asks me what I ordered and my date. I respond and tell him shouldn't you know that? At this point he goes back and asks my date after she is coming back from bathroom what she ordered and now they have our order and hour and a half later. Server comes back and I ask him how much longer until we get our food, to which he says the tickets got lost in the kitchen and should be another 10 minutes. We wait another 10 minutes and nothing, ask server again and couldn't tell us when food will be ready. Will not be recommending this restaurant or returning. What a shame.
