About Bella Cafe and Grille at Chevy Chase

Bella Cafe and Grille offers a delightful dining experience with a unique brunch concept featuring small pastries and muffins. The professional and friendly staff provide excellent service in a clean and cozy ambiance. For dinner, guests can enjoy dishes like the crispy chicken sandwich with coleslaw and spicy pickles, or the grilled chicken, often served with sides like perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts. Customers have also appreciated the chicken salad and vegie burger options. The restaurant maintains a calm atmosphere, making it pleasant to hear conversations without the music being overbearing. While service can sometimes feel rushed during busy times, the attentive staff strives to make every visit special. Recent guests praised the food and drinks as excellent, though the place can get very packed, which may cause longer wait times for orders. One visitor enjoyed the Restaurant Week special, including a well-cooked pork chop and delicious red pepper soup, despite running out of the advertised dessert. Others noted that the chicken tenders with Brussels sprouts were especially tasty, with the chicken's unique breading and two great dipping sauces—ranch and BBQ—and the Brussels sprouts crispy with honey sauce and shaved Parmesan. The staff remains pleasant and attentive, though the tight seating and noise level can be high, which some feel could be improved with sound dampening. Overall, Bella Cafe and Grille continues to be a great spot for a meal out, offering good food and a welcoming environment.
