My husband and I were trying to celebrate our anniversary and was recommended this place. We go in and sit down and it took them quite a while to even bring us our water. My husband and I then ordered from the menu and when our food came after my husband took a couple of bites of his food, he spit out a piece of glass!! I went to the front to tell the owner about the situation and she told me that she would be right over. She never came and sent the waitress over. She then said “I heard you had a piece of glass in your food” and asked if he wanted her to get them to remake it or order something different. Not once was there an apology. He went ahead and said to go ahead and remake the food and when his food was brought out, it was the wrong dish. I had eaten about half of my food which was OK not anything to write home about. He took a couple of bites and decided it was time to go. I believe at this point, he was just done and we left. So he basically didn’t eat and I didn't finish mine. And honestly, he was nervous about finding another piece of glass in his food. The owner never came over. They acted so nonchalant about the whole situation. When, in fact, my husband could’ve really hurt himself had he swallowed that piece of glass. It was very unprofessional how it was handled and I will not be returning. What was supposed to be a special night turned out as a disaster.

It was a beautiful day in February so we sat on the patio and brought our own wine. There was a party at the fraternity house across the street that the cops showed up and the students began scattering. Not the most romantic but definitely entertaining. The food was amazing! We got the artichoke, baked ziti and tortellini. The bread was crispy yet soft.
Had my first takeout lunch and it was so DELICIOUS! I would like to come back and dine in in the future because it looks like perfect place to relax and unwind.

This was my first visit. Cafe' Bella is a hidden gem that I was not previously aware of. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was excellent, and the service was also excellent. We'll be adding Cafe' Bella to our list of places that we will go regularly.
This is a business that truly cares about the community and the TCU students that frequently eat here. My daughter is a junior nursing student and often calls her order in. They know her by her name and have her food waiting for her. They take the time to ask her how she’s doing. Besides that their food is delicious, portions are generous and prices are reasonable! We also held an TCU event at Cafe Bella and had a great experience!
Would love to see the menu have a few more options.. but the service makes up for it. The entire staff is so sweet and attentive. No wonder why the community absolutely loves this cafe!
