I'm very glad to visit this place. And I'm so happy to find it on the maps cause i thought I'd lost.
The best service I've seen in our town in the last 9 years. I would like to give special recognition to Elizabeth the waitress, she made me think of a mistress for the first time in my life. Elizabeth, thank you for all your hard work, you are wonderful.

Finally made it to Cafe Bello. The food and drinks were delicious. The portions are great and the staff is very friendly. We got the bolognese and the chicken bosciaola. The prices are great and I loved the atmosphere. I will definitely be back.
