Cafe Bello

We are simply amazed by the quality of the food and the excellent service from the staffs! From the appetizer to each main dish and especially the dessert, we enjoyed everything! Thank you and we will certainly be back again!

Hidden gem in Bayonne. Went there with a party of 7 and every dish was DELICIOUS! We sat in the winter wonderland area and it was very comfortable. Elijah, helped us with our food order and he made us feel so comfortable. He has a pleasant disposition and was so kind in helping us take family photos. The food portions are large and plentiful and food flavors are robust. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely place with fantastic food and service. Took one star off for the kitchen being too noisy but I loved this place. The service was phenomenal and food too. So many NYC restaurants would fail to match this. Will be back again.

My husband and I had a great lunch here yesterday! From the atmosphere, the service, and the food, everything was top notch. We ordered the Calamari alla Toscana and the Selvatica pizza. Absolutely delicious. We are looking forward to coming back soon for dinner to try more on the menu. Highly recommend!

Great food, attentive and plesant staff, wonderful atmosphere. I definitely recommend can't wait to go back

Romantic and charming atmosphere and the food delivers. There was a fried mozzerella dish in lemon caper sauce that was incredible. Wine selection on point. Carbonara was a little cream of chicken heavy but the Parmesan added to it helped. Bolognese my girlfriend had was superb. Great service and welcome feeling.

Very nice decor and the food/ service was excellent. Grilled octopus with grilled artichoke and long hot pepper was superb. Filet of sole francese with spinach and mashed potatoes also very tasty with just the right proportion of Lemon to butter .Other dishes ordered were grilled salmon, rigatoni and meatballs and chicken stuffed with spinach, prosciutto and fontina cheese. Everyone commented that the food was excellent. Would return again in the future.

Great place to grab some pasta and other options. Big portions but still very delicious and fresh. The staff is fantastic and very friendly. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Had the mussels in marinara, the Broccoli Rabe and sausage, and the meatballs and pasta. All so good.

What are the things that I can't say about this place?? Let's start off with a fact that I was told to go here by some of the locals and I am going to say that I was not disappointed in the least!!!
Let me say that again. I loved this place this place.
So I started off with the mozzarella triangles which were just absolutely incredible. The bread the, and sauce was just tip tops
My main dish consisted of rigatoni's ala vodka and I could not be happier with the flavor profile of this dish. The sauce was rich and creamy, the pasta was cooked al dente, portion size was incredible. In fact I was unable to even finish my meal. But that's okay because you get a little to-go container and you can finish it when you're back in your hotel!!
There were so many other wonderful options on the menu that I could have stayed here for a month and probably not gone through each item. I hopefully will be back to start the process of going through every single dish on the menu!!

Cafe Bello I tip my hat to you. And I hope to see you again real soon.

I had another amazing meal at Cafe Bello. I just can't get enough of this place that every time I fly to New York that I have to hop in an Uber or a Lyft and head on over for the rigatoni ala vodka.
However, this time I changed it up a little bit and decided to have the bucatini with bolognese, in addition to my meza rigatoni ala vodka!!
I struggled to leave because I was filled to the gills!

Love this place! My hubs and I have gone for dinner several times and even ordered for lunch. The food is delicious, the service is awesome and its a good ambiance. Def a great place to check out!

I had chicken Marsala; the chicken was tender, and the amount of Marsala sauce was just a good amount and wasn't watery.

My husband had the Margherita pizza. It was good, but it got to room temperature fast.

We went on a Sunday, and the place was busy. I was concerned we were not going to get good customer service, but to my delight, it was really good. Our server was attentive and fast.

It’s no surprise the best seller was also a hit with this musical guest. To end the meal, an Italian espresso to get his evening started

Shrimp vodka pizza was so good he almost ate it with no hands! @wakaflocka

Absolutely delicious food. Never disappointed when we go. Staff is super friendly and the food is so good. Only wish the place was a little bigger so you don't get stuck at a table by the bathroom. Overall it's a great place to go out to dinner for a reasonable price.

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. The days special appetizer ramps, zuchini blooms covered in a egg batter, deep fried were great! Our entrees we very good as well, ink black pasta for me and scampi for my wife with the shrimp in both cooked just to perfection.

Cafe Bello came through! A great experience as we could not have a normal Christmas this year due to family being ill. My wife and I stayed home all weekend and today we decided to order in using a gift certificate we had for Cafe Bello, and even with staffing shortages, they were very polite, honest and informed us it may take longer than normal for delivery. I understood all of this considering the situation we are all currently in.

The fact that they took the time to go the extra step for my wife and I to deliver (we are trying to social distance to prevent getting sick) they did exceptionally well with all the food, great portion sizes and food was delicious! I added some photos to show just some of what was ordered, and even the cool silverware rollups they sent. The only real issue that took place is when we received a call saying they ran out of teramisu and would substitute it. I accepted the chocolate cake instead, again understanding that this type of thing happens and I was pleased with the fact they even called to let me know versus not informing me and just not receiving anything.
I greatly appreciate everything the staff has done to make sure we received our meal. Original time expected before delivered was set to 1 hour at least, we received our food about 35 minutes after my initial phone call. Thank you everyone for making today a great day for me and my wife, it truly is a special one.
Appreciate all the effort! Have a great holiday season and have a Happy & Safe New Year 2022! May this be the year Covid R.I.P.'s Permanently and we can get back to normal soon!

Straight fire outstanding food high quality perfect preparation and very very consistent. I highly recommend this place ..And I am a fat guy

Such an elegant place to dine at and the food was delicious too

Talk about tolerant wait staff. They were great Food was enjoyed by us all. Definitely a place to enjoy family celebrations.

We were a big table with small children. They managed us really well and it was an great night

The food was excellent we had Mozzarella sticks (📐) a pepperoni pizza 🍕 and for dessert tiramisu and a slice of lemon meringue pie and a bowl of vanilla ice cream 🍨 the service was good.. felt it could have been a little better but all in all it was good.

Always my favorite place for lunch or dinner. Not only is their regular menu great, but they also offer delicious daily specials.
