Best food ever! Been coming here since I was a kid. I was in Italy months ago and was always on the hunt to find something that tastes as good as the Bella Rosa pasta back home- this one wins

Wonderful meal for a celebration on a lovely slow Sunday lunch. Even though it was wet and raining the beautiful windows and light that comes through makes you feel warm and cozy. We all have favorite meals and everyone was really happy, top food, excellent service. Keep up the great work guys. Have not been for awhile but so glad you still are getting it just right.

I took my Girlfriend here for a surprise dinner and we got the Tuesday evening experience. I got a voucher from a family member and had heard reasonable things through the grapevine about Cafe Bella Rosa but I was dumbfounded at the experience. If ever looking for the perfect homestyle Italian meal go no further. My partner and I got bruschetta to start. It's a pretty good indicator of what's to come when the Entree is to die for, a fresh toasted salty slice of heaven towered with fresh ingredients. We got a pizza and pasta to share. We both devoured these two items. Both flavour profiles full of depth and cooked to perfection. Very cheap corkage at $3 a head so my partner and I shared a bottle of wine over the evening. That's not to say they do not have a great selection of beverages for you. I think dessert takes the cake. We both some a slice of something fresh out of the cake/tart cabinet at the front of the venue and I can not express to you this was THE BEST lemon tart I've ever had (I've had a few). The establishment itself boasts lovely indoor and outdoor seating options and despite quite a full venue during our visit ambient noise was never over the top and the restaurant played some lovely music combined with curated combinations of lighting tie together to create a perfect date night mood. We were greeted and waited on by a staff member that exclaimed she was fairly new, I'm sorry we didn't catch her name but she did an excellent job of service on Tuesday in fact the entire staff met us with a smile. Thank you for a great evening - Patrick

Went for table service on a Friday night. The place was very well patronaged but still got a table at short notice. Had the pizza bread for starters and should've got 2 as it was absolutely delicious. Then a vegetarian pizza and the gnocchi which were both outstanding. Generous portion sizes. Staff were friendly and helpful. Espresso was on point. One entrees, 2 drinks and mains plus a coffee under $80. I will definitely be going back.
