Bella's Cafe is a stylish cafe set in the heart of the New Haven's Westville community.  Serving breakfast and lunch, it is recognized as one of the best places to dine when visiting New Haven.

 

Rose Foote, the owner of Bella's, comes from three generations of Cooks.

She started training at the age of 9 with her parents in their restaurant, Marie's Luncheonette. She then went on in 1985 to open her own catering service simply called, "Rose's Distinctive Catering." Her adventures in cooking would soon lead her to travel to Italy with the CIA on a culinary tour throughout Tuscany, where she continued to develope her international flare for cooking.

 

Rose opened Bella's in the year 2000 and has since been featured in Connecticut Magazine, New Haven Advocate, Fearless Critic, Yelp, and the New Haven Register.

 

Rose credits her success to her faith, her parents, grandparents, her huband Jeff and their son Joshua.
