Caffe Bella - Randolph

My fiancé and I frequently visit the Randolph Filmtheater and had heard about this restaurant from a friend. We finally decided to try it for my fiancée's birthday. After reading some early reviews, I can confirm that our experience matched the positive feedback. We arrived at 6:00 and were able to choose our seats easily, but it got very busy later on. Our server was excellent and provided great recommendations. I highly recommend trying the shells dish. Overall, I recommend this café, but suggest going a bit early to avoid any potential issues.

I love this place, and for good reason. The food is amazing! I visited on a busy Saturday night and noticed the regular customers being seated first. I suppose it's a perk of being a regular. I wish I could visit more often to enjoy it myself. Every good restaurant is busy on a Saturday night, and this one is no exception. There's a small bar where you can enjoy a drink while waiting for your table. I especially appreciated that the wine was served in Reidel glasses. I can't wait to return. The meals are delicious without the high price tag of a gourmet restaurant.

My group of four arrived at a restaurant that was full but not crowded at 6:00. We waited for 90 minutes before being seated, after being greeted by the female manager and paying to reserve our table. In all my years of dining out, I have never encountered such rudeness when inquiring about our table. I will not be returning to this restaurant. We paid the $30 valet fee and left to dine at a different location in the north end.
