Great service. Pizza is made fresh to order! The pizza that is out is for display. Located at the Tower building downtown on the other side of Reata. Great quality ingredients used.

This is the most authentic Italian restaurant in town, and I’m convinced. The food is extremely high quality and is perfectly filling. I’ve been to Italy, and the focaccia and pasta taste exactly like they do here. AMAZING 5/5

Visiting the city during the Van Cliburn Piano Competition, we were looking for a pizza place downtown and found this one. We finally found authentic Italian food—excellent and reasonably priced. The place to go for pizza, but not only, in Fort Worth. Bravo!

The food is delicious! We had a simple marinara focaccia (kids :)) and it was so fresh and the focaccia had delicious texture. Very friendly staff. The Black Angus with truffle was also incredible.

The server was a very authentic, genuine, and kind man. Pizza was incredible. Would eat here again and again

Had the margherita focaccia and the dirty sandwich. Both were delicious reasonably prized. This is some of the best “pizza” I’ve had in Fort Worth and I recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic food and quality service.

Tony was friendly and fast, he helped us decide what to get. I had the bolognese and it was delicious!!! Also, don’t miss out of the night live oil it is LEGIT!!

We just found this place, we ordered take out, Parma Zone and Parmigiana focaccia, well let's say that we WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK there, meet one of the owner Luigi from Venice very nice guy, I did told him that I also was born in Italy 🇮🇹 this place is worth it to drive if you really want real Italian food imported from Italy 🇮🇹 only the best. 👌 Parking on the street is only $2 for 1 hours or across street is free, then there is another place next to but you need to pay $18 and up. Come and enjoy real Italian food in DFW, I can't believe it finally a good italian place, now if i could only find an Italian pastry place that would be amazing. 🥰❤️😋🇮🇹

Always an incredible experience at Bella Gente! Black Angus gluten free is my favorite! Luigi will make sure you feel knowledgeable about what you’re ordering, as it is authentic Italian food!!

Bella Gente is a must go in down town. The service was incredible. The service was very friendly, and I was recommended the Black Angus by staff. It did not disappoint. Absolutely incredible taste, very fresh and flavorful. I will absolutely be returning and recommend yall give it a try.

The most European experience I have had lately in the Fort Worth area. Wonderful food and exceptional service. Thank you Bella Gente! My wife and I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend the Italian cheesesteak focaccia sandwich. You cannot go wrong here, for there is something for everyone.

We went for the first time tonight. Had the black angus Italian pizza (Focaccia), shrimp pasta, Carnivora and dessert. It was so good. The black angus is made in house and the truffle oil gave it a really nice flavor. Will definitely go again. Sorry, I took pictures after we already ate :) But, have leftovers! The three of us took ours ToGo.

Bella Gente is a great spot to hang out and have dinner with friends. The menu has a really good variety of focaccias and sandwiches, all made with fresh and delicious ingredients. Everything we tried was full of flavor and really satisfying. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or staying a while to catch up with friends, Bella Gente is definitely worth a visit.

Phenomenal buttery flaky bread— very difficult to find in DFW. Parma Zone is an exceptional authentic Italian sandwich. Great tiramisu and pistachio ricotta cake. The owner is charismatic, knowledgeable, and generous; we had a lovely talk about Italian opera, and he gave us all discounts for next time. He said the menu is expanding to include pastas and gnocchi, and an espresso machine and license for wine are in the works. Can’t recommend the place highly enough.

Outstanding, food is great, options for gluten free and non gluten free. Friendly service, fresh food, will definitely be coming back.

Not enough words to explain how good the food is. Absolute passion and top shelf ingredients. Best focaccia and pasta I have ever had!

Authentic Italian cuisine. I came here as a walk by and we were all blown away at the delicious food. The owners are sweet and caring and passionate about their customers! We will be back again

I don’t leave reviews, but this place should have a line out the door every day. The focaccia is homemade and perfectly soft and warm and delicious. They’re making their own mozzarella. The sandwiches are simple but absolutely perfect. The best Italian sandwiches you will eat outside of Joes Grocery in Dallas

Very authentic. I lived in Italy for just shy of half a year and it felt like I had magically returned for the evening.

Great food and service, i got the italian cheesestake

So happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant. The food and service on point. Must try.

Best Italian restaurant in all of DFW. Definitely worth visiting if you’re ever in the area! Luigi is great and his recipes are to die for

Wonderful little place. The food was great! Everything is on focaccia bread! They have pizzas and sandwiches. I tried both and they were great! They have bottled drinks to pull out of their fridge. Let me tell you, if you're not sure how much you can eat, go for the smaller portions. This place will fill you up!! The pizza and sammys are thick!!

Best focaccia outside of Chiavari! Great spot for delicious sandwiches and some Serie A.

I was walking around looking for a restaurant and found this place and came in during my lunch break. It was kind of empty inside, but I have no idea why. This is easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The focaccia is fantastic and it all tasted super fresh. Service was very friendly and the pricing and portions were quite reasonable. I will be coming back here.

Italian owned and you can tell because the pizza is so good here, it tastes amazing when you eat it there and when you order it to go. The cheese is amazing. The other day I ate some there and also brought some home and ate it after 3 hours and it still tasted amazing. Also one of their sandwiches for the first time yesterday and you could taste the flavors of all the ingredients, portions are perfect. It’s also downtown, and easy to get to. I recommend you try the pizza and the sandwiches next time you go 🙌🏼

A taste of Italy in Texas! This focaccia was so crispy and delicious! We had the Parma sandwich and it had such great flavor and high quality ingredients. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick and delicious bite in the city! Everything is very fresh and tasty:)

Went in for quick bite for lunch. The focaccia is incredible! Owned by Italians so you know it’s authentic. We have been to Italy a few times before and this genuinely tasted just like it. Super fun guys who own it too!

This place is amazing. The people working there are very nice and went above and beyond to make our daughter feel special on our dinner date. We had the pizza and it was delicious. Their olive oil on top makes the pizza more authentic and elevates the taste. Will definitely be coming back!

If you are out and about in Fort Worth I highly recommend Bella Gente Focaccia & Sandwich, a true hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked focaccia hits you—warm, comforting, and utterly irresistible. Every bite speaks to the quality of their ingredients—nothing processed or artificial, just fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the care and passion in every item they serve. If you’re looking for authentic, high-quality Italian baked goods, this place is a must. Fort Worth just got a serious upgrade! Also a big shout out for the attentive service they provide, We will definitely take the drive and visited them again.

Loved it, this place did an incredible job of looking after my coeliac girlfriend who has to eat gluten-free. It was both delicious and safe, highly recommend.

Got these 4 different pizzas and found these to be so incredibly delicious. If you’re looking for real Italian food made with love and authenticity, this is the spot. I’m already planning my next visit. Thank you for such delicious pizza.

Great Focaccia and friendly people

This Focaccia is unlike anything I've had before — perfectly crisp topped with incredibly fresh all Italian ingredients. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the attention to detail in both the food and the presentation shows real passion. Highly recommend the Black Angus — out of this world! Fort Worth is lucky to have a spot like this. I’ll definitely be back.

I randomly discovered this gem while walking to my hotel on Sunday evening — and WOW! I caught a whiff of something amazing, and suddenly I had to find out where that smell was coming from. I walked into the restaurant close to closing time and didn't want to be a bother, so I asked Luigi what was still available and what their signature item might be. Without hesitation, he smiled and said, “All of it — it’s all good and ready.” And honestly? He wasn’t wrong. Luigi is one of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve met. His hospitality was unforgettable — warm, welcoming, and sincerely proud of the food they serve. I had originally planned to get a sandwich, but he pointed out the Black Angus Truffle Pizza, and my jaw dropped. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. I ended up ordering the whole pizza (they offer slices and smaller portions too, but I wasn’t playing around). It was hot, fresh, and in front of me in under 10 minutes. Every bite was rich, savory, and packed with flavor — you can tell they care about quality. The service, the food, the good vibes — everything about this place left a lasting impression. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing Authentic Italian restaurant! A true must go! The food was fresh, flavorful, perfect in texture, and well displayed! The people are kind, helpful, and professional, yet also make you feel like you are at your favorite relative's home eating dinner! Don't miss the chance! I give it 12 out of 10!

The food was so fresh and unique, the restaurant was clean and the staff was super friendly. Even my picky daughter loved it.

Had lunch here today, had a Trentina focaccia and a Margherita focaccia. They were delicious and you could feel the freshness of the ingredients that come straight from Italy I was told by the owner Luigino. Very friendly place and would come back for sure to taste the rest of the menu!!!

Strongly recommend. All of the ingredients are high quality. The bread alone is outstanding. Owner is very friendly and helpful

Tried this place out for lunch and got the veggienlove sandwich - it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients are so fresh and the price is great. Very filling as well. I went back for dinner and got the Parmigiana pizza- coming from New York this is the best pizza in Fort Worth BY FAR. Can’t wait to try all of their options. Thank you for bringing this gem to downtown Fort Worth.

Absolutely amazing pasta, I’ve traveled to Rome and have been searching for a good Italian place since and now I’ve found it! Highly recommend and I will come again!

Excellent place to grab a bite to eat!!!

Danny the owner is spectacular! He makes the whole experience feel like a trip abroad. Everything is fresh and delicious. Gluten-free pasta available.

Amazing food and amazing service - and the best part: real Italian food!

Casual fun and wonderful fare. Super friendly staff! Loved it all! Will be back !!

This was hands-down the best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had. Everything was SO fresh. I’ve never been to Italy, but if their sandwiches taste like this… I’m clearly overdue. Booking a flight next week. 🇮🇹✈️

We got the Parma zone and it was delicious. Took me right back to the time where you would get similar sandwiches from various quiet bite restaurants. Excellent service as well.

Lovely staff and really great sandwich. Tastes like you are in Tuscany.

Such a pleasure - my wife and I took a day trip to Ft Worth and stumbled into Bella Gente for a quick lunch. The food was OUTSTANDING - fresh ingredients and packed with flavor. I had the Italian Cheesesteak and my wife had the Early Autumn. Many ingredients are straight from Italy 🤌🏼. Daniele took great care of us and his service and hospitality was first class. It was sooo good we’d drive from Houston just to eat here. Thank you Bella Gente for the great experience!

A must try focaccia style pizza and sandwich. Excellent service and hospitality. Loved their authentic Italian style flavors.

Everything was UHHHHH-MAZING, not sure where to even start!! The service, food, and ambiance were fantastic! Walking through the front door felt like we left Ft. Worth and entered into Italy. We tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, Spaghetti and Meatballs, and the shrimp pasta. All three were out of this world! The focaccia bread that they serve with the entrees is literally the best we’ve ever had! Make sure you also try the cherry balsamic vinegar that they have for sale! We’ll definitely be back!

We ate here Thursday night. Holy smokes. The food was so damn good. And fresh. The owner was nice as can be. The dessert was awesome also, but the food was amazing. Can’t wait for them to get their liquor license so we can add wine to the list. I should’ve taken pictures, but I ate it too fast.

Love this place, so happy to have them here, best focaccia and pizza I’ve ever had! Try their Early Autumn Sandwich and tiramisu! my fave pizza is the eggplant parm or pepperoni

The food was amazing and the staff it’s pretty cool peoole from italy, in front of the restaurant is a parking lot so you don’t have problem with your car. We will definitely come back to try other Italian pizzas and foccacias prices really good

Amazing service and their pizza dough is almost like a focaccia bread!

stopped for a quick bite before the nutcracker! loved the margherita pizza. service was great! will be back to try the sandwiches and desserts

What an amazing place. Everything on the menu sounded excellent. I got a slice of focaccia and a half sandwich. Both were excellent. My husband and friends had pasta and were very happy. I will be coming back, parking in the free garage (evenings and weekends) across the street and sampling everything. Desserts will be in line next time. So excited to have found this place. It was wonderful.

Could not be more thrilled to have found this place today. The owner and workers are very kind, and the food embodies the passion they obviously have for serving it. Undeniably, authentically Italian with a touch of flare we Americans seek… icing on the cake was the Italian bangers playing in the background.

This place was amazing! The food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients, it also came out quick and hot. The restaurant had a calm and welcoming environment. My only complaint- other people loved it too, so the seating was all taken! However, with it being just a short walk to sundance square that was not an issue. We just took our food to go and enjoyed a meal at the fountains. The owner was very kind and patient with us (and even apologized for the seating situation- how sweet!). We could tell that the staff had a real passion for this restaurant. One of our new favorite spots! I would recommend to any friend.

Tried several focaccias and loved them all! Also had salad and basically one of each dessert. The desserts are so fun and different from anything I’ve seen around town! Service was excellent - we had 2 toddlers with us and the staff went out of their way to help us get a table set up that was comfortable for our group.

Delicious homemade pizza and service! The mozzarella and ingredients were very fresh and the crust was incredible. My husband loved his sandwich as well. We will be coming back. Thank you!

Fantastic sandwiches. Perfectly balanced flavours on hot, fresh Focaccia, which is I presume cooked to order in a pizza oven? Not sure, but it was delicious. Worth a visit.

Went here for dinner tonight, and I’m assuming the owners were the ones who took our order. We decided on a pepperoni pizza, a slice of the Carnivora, and a tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious and if that tiramisu had come in a bowl, the bowl would’ve been licked clean! The owner was very kind and attentive, even bringing my child a small bag of chips to enjoy with her pizza. Later, one of the owners came back to our table and asked if we wanted to try an Italian pizza, I believe with soppressata, and my husband agreed. When I went to pay for it, he told me it was on the house. It was fantastic, and I really hope they add it to the menu so we can order it again next time. If you head to the restrooms (which are spotless, by the way), you’ll see a little table with paper boats that the owner said his daughter makes. He told us we could take one, and I recommend bringing a bit of change to leave her a tip if you do. Highly recommend this place we’ll definitely be back soon!

Don’t eat here if you think the Olive Garden is real Italian or you think Red Lobster pasta is the best. I don’t think I have ever had authentic Italian food until today. I ate here with my son’s soccer team and parents. Luigi and family served us a buffet sampled from their menu and I have never tasted anything like it. Flavorful and presented nicely, everything from the salad to the dessert. The spaghetti was my favorite but there was not anything I didn’t like. I wish Bella Gente was closer to me, but it will be a nice treat when my family is in the Fort Worth area. We will definitely visit again and not just with the soccer team!

This place is amazing. Absolutely some of the best Focaccia Bread. Fresh ingredients perfect portion sizes. If your headed to Studio 80 bar / dance club across the street its a fast and easy place to eat. Low key atmosphere with a great staff.

A true gem! As a French expat living in the US, I felt like I was back in Italy for an evening. The restaurant is spotless, the welcome is warm, and the family running it is absolutely wonderful. Every dish was delicious, and the whole experience felt like a little trip to Italy. Thank you for such a special moment! we’ll definitely be back! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Bella Gente creates and serves wonderfully authentic, delicious Italian gourmet focaccia, sandwiches, pasta and more. We ordered 2 different kinds of focaccia and absolutely loved them. Fresh ingredients, wonderful flavors served with a happy smile by the italian couple that runs the restaurant. The nutella cheesecake was also excellent. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Bella Gente.

What an incredible dining experience! This new Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. From the very first bite, you can tell that everything here is made with care and genuine passion for authentic Italian cooking. The flavors are rich, balanced, and unmistakably genuine — especially the focaccia bread crust, which was light, crispy, and full of flavor. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find so many thoughtful and delicious options on the menu. Every dish we tried tasted fresh and beautifully seasoned — you can tell the ingredients are top quality. The owners truly make the place special. They greeted us warmly, checked in to make sure everything was perfect, and treated us like family. It's rare to see such personal service these days, and it made the meal even more memorable. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, wonderful hospitality, and great vegetarian selections, this place is a *must-visit*. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

If you’re craving true Italian flavor, Bella Gente is the place to be. Their focaccia is simply outstanding—light, fluffy, and bursting with rich, authentic taste that transports you straight to Italy. The restaurant itself is spotless and welcoming, with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch that makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can feel the pride they take in serving food that’s 100% authentic, crafted with care and tradition. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or planning a cozy meal with friends, Bella Gente delivers excellence every time. Fort Worth is lucky to have this little slice of Italy!

this place was so special and beautiful. authentic italian flavors and textures so difficult to find outside of fake american pasta rip offs. thank you to the staff of Bella Gente for making me feel at home with a sandwich and pistacchio ricotta dessert. will definitely be returning as often as possible. i cannot recommend this restaurant enough❤️😭🇮🇹

This place is incredible. One of my coworkers kept telling me I needed to try it, and I’m glad i did. I got the parmigiana focaccia, and was seriously impressed. The fresh basil, the eggplant, all of it was great. A nice crust on the bottom, and soft fluffy inside. I’ll be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible! Hands down the best sandwich I’ve ever had — the Parma Zone was out of this world! The homemade bread alone is worth the trip — soft, flavorful, and downright addictive. I also tried the ricotta pistachio cake, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The cherry balsamic (straight from Italy!) was the cherry on top — literally amazing. Genuine Italian, family-owned, and made with love. This place isn’t just good — it’s next-level magnificent! 🇮🇹✨!!!

Everything was delicious and fresh. We had the BLACK ANGUS, TRENTINA & CARNIVORA focaccia. Also the LA DOLCE VITA was just right. We'll absolutely be back. You must try it. There's something for everyone. The staff is amazing 🌟 so kind and helpful.

5 stars not enough. Danny and staff are amazing food out of this world. Change the venue and you are eating fine dining easy. Even my Coke tasted better here! The pasta dish the sandwiches the focaccia is literally gourmet. Hands down the best!

About the food all I can say is Wow!!.we had been looking into this place for a few weeks and we finally decided to try it.Great customer service, fast service and the food was delicious.The place is clean and is well decorated too.My kids Definitely want to come back and try other focaccia flavors.

We live 3 hours from Fort Worth, so we always google Best place to eat. Bella Gente popped up and we were All in!! Parking was Soooo Simple. We had 3 in our party, so we ordered 3 different items. Black Angus Focaccia, Spicy pepperoni Focaccia, Spaghetti and meatballs, Italian cheese steak sandwich. Plus the owners turned us on to a appetizer. Spaghetti/meatballs were TRULY THE BEST I've Ever had, Spectacular. The Black Angus Focaccia was Unbelievably Delicious, The spicy Pepperoni Focaccia was Sooooo Yummy. The Italian Cheese steak sandwich was Fabulous. We all 3 Loved the Appetizer. For dessert we had Tiramisu was Stunning and La Dolce Vita, which was Breathtaking. Please try Bella Gente out it is Top 10 of ALL RESTAURANTS in Fort Worth. The Owners are Soooo Friendly

Amazing food and lovely people i got the Parma zone and Italian cheesesteak and when I tell you the photos doesn't do it justice. I'm definitely going to be a regular after today.

Totally exceeded my expectations! Food is AMAZING! I was looking for something different and I told the lady I'd like her favorite item, the sandwich I received did not disappoint, it was full of fresh ingredients and amazing flavor! I'll be back for sure!

Best focaccia I ever had since I moved from Italy to Texas. As an Italian, the freshness and high quality of the ingredients are something I always recognize and appreciate. I have tried a few different focaccia types, all delicious and authentically made, with my absolute favorite one being the Black Angus. I was explained by the Italian chef, Daniele, that he cooks the angus himself, as well as all other ingredients he uses to cook such as the sauces, the roasted vegetables, the mozzarella and the burrata. If you are looking for a place where you feel like being on a trip to Italy and enjoying real Italian delicious food, Bella Gente would be the perfect choice. The service is great and you would have a chance to chat with the owner, Luigino, who is such a great host, always happy and enthusiastic about sharing his experience as an Italian in Texas.

Fantastic sandwiches. The Focaccia is crispy, light, and delicious, and the ingredients are all top notch. Service is friendly and quick and prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food. According to the owner, they're planning to start offering house made pastas and espresso relatively soon. Definitely my favorite lunch spot that currently exists downtown (rest in peace Third Street Market). Only two minor downsides - no free water, and no potato chips (which should be illegal for any place that sells sandwiches). Hopefully both will change as they keep expanding their operation. Update: Chips now come free with the sandwiches, and the pasta is here and delicious. Only thing still missing is free water, but don't let that stop you it's the best lunch place downtown. Of all the sandwiches, the Italian Cheesesteak is my favorite.

Fantastic sandwich. The Parma Zone is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. All for a very reasonable price.

I agree with the other poster who said 5 stars is not enough! The staff told me they can basically make anything gluten free!! I opted for the carnivora focaccia (mine looks like pizza bc it's gluten free), and it is so good. The mozzarella is better than any I've ever had. I can't wait to go back and try more! As a cherry on top, the staff member who took my order was so sweet and talked to me while I was waiting on my food.

Facaccia and paninis were so good and the people super friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place if you want to get a taste of Italian food. Fantastico

New on the town and absolutely worth your attention! The focaccia here is unreal- crispy, airy, and just like you’d get in Italy. The desserts are also a must-try. To top it off, the waiters are super friendly and attentive, AND authentically Italian. Can’t wait to come back!

We went for the first time tonight. Had the black angus Italian pizza (Focaccia), shrimp pasta, Carnivora and dessert. It was so good. The black angus is made in house and the truffle oil gave it a really nice flavor. Will definitely go again. Sorry, I took pictures after we already ate :) But, have leftovers! The three of us took ours ToGo.

Bella Gente is a great spot to hang out and have dinner with friends. The menu has a really good variety of focaccias and sandwiches, all made with fresh and delicious ingredients. Everything we tried was full of flavor and really satisfying. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or staying a while to catch up with friends, Bella Gente is definitely worth a visit.

Jeff Youngblood

The most European experience I have had lately in the Fort Worth area. Wonderful food and exceptional service. Thank you Bella Gente! My wife and I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend the Italian cheesesteak focaccia sandwich. You cannot go wrong here, for there is something for everyone.

Erik Johnson

Bella Gente is a must go in down town. The service was incredible. The service was very friendly, and I was recommended the Black Angus by staff. It did not disappoint. Absolutely incredible taste, very fresh and flavorful. I will absolutely be returning and recommend yall give it a try.

Was in Fort Worth for the weekend and tried this place by chance. We are so lucky we did! We each had a focaccia dinner combo, one Carnivora and one “Special” (ham and mushroom!) Each combo includes dessert and a drink. The desserts we chose were NY cheesecake and Ricotta and Pistachio cake. The focaccias were both incredible! Just the marinara sauce was close to a spiritual experience by itself! 😇 The cheesecake was better than the ricotta cake, but both were pretty good. 😃 The owner and staff were very friendly and genuinely interested in what we thought of the food. I wish I could give them 6 stars (or more!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The atmosphere is different, as the concrete architecture from the building pierces the interior, which made it industrial and interesting. I liked it! We will definitely come back when we are in town! We wish Bella Gente all the best in 2026 and many years to come!

Fantastic sandwich spot with high-quality ingredients and great flavor. The focaccia was fresh and perfectly baked—soft inside with a nice crust—and the sandwiches were generous, well balanced, and made to order. Everything tasted fresh, and the combinations on the menu are really well thought out. Service was friendly and quick, and the place was clean with a nice, cozy vibe. Great value for the quality. Definitely coming back.

Just a great little corner restaurant. If it seems a tad pricey, I guarantee you that it’s worth it. The quality of the ingredients, especially the crust, is just S-tier stuff that you’d expect more at a fancy Italian restaurant that’s twice the price. I got the Angus focaccia (flatbread) and it was delicious. My wife got the bologna sandwich, and I heard it and before tasting it I thought “Bologna doesn’t seem like a special meat” but then I had it and realized bologna can be SOO much better than grocery store bologna. My wife was practically having that scene from When Harry Met Sally in every bite. The owner was super friendly, sweet guy. Highly recommend. Will come back again!

Bella Gente creates and serves wonderfully authentic, delicious Italian gourmet focaccia, sandwiches, pasta and more. We ordered 2 different kinds of focaccia and absolutely loved them. Fresh ingredients, wonderful flavors served with a happy smile by the italian couple that runs the restaurant. The nutella cheesecake was also excellent. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Bella Gente.

Fantastic sandwich spot with high-quality ingredients and great flavor. The focaccia was fresh and perfectly baked—soft inside with a nice crust—and the sandwiches were generous, well balanced, and made to order. Everything tasted fresh, and the combinations on the menu are really well thought out. Service was friendly and quick, and the place was clean with a nice, cozy vibe. Great value for the quality. Definitely coming back.

Was in Fort Worth for the weekend and tried this place by chance. We are so lucky we did! We each had a focaccia dinner combo, one Carnivora and one “Special” (ham and mushroom!) Each combo includes dessert and a drink. The desserts we chose were NY cheesecake and Ricotta and Pistachio cake. The focaccias were both incredible! Just the marinara sauce was close to a spiritual experience by itself! 😇 The cheesecake was better than the ricotta cake, but both were pretty good. 😃 The owner and staff were very friendly and genuinely interested in what we thought of the food. I wish I could give them 6 stars (or more!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The atmosphere is different, as the concrete architecture from the building pierces the interior, which made it industrial and interesting. I liked it! We will definitely come back when we are in town! We wish Bella Gente all the best in 2026 and many years to come!

Was really looking forward to dining here during my visit to Fort Worth. The reviews seem great. Walked all the way here to find that they were not open at 11:30 AM on Saturday when online it says they open at 11AM. Very disappointing.

Tasty food, false advertising, horrible customer service I ordered the lunch sandwich combo online, which their website says comes with a dessert. I ordered curbside and waited outside but no one ever came. I went inside to get the food and asked why there was no dessert. The woman behind the counter just kept saying the dinner combo came with a dessert and pointed to the itemized kitchen tag on the bag as “proof” that no dessert was included. Even after showing her their own website and going back and forth several times, she was not able to see the issue and kept insisting I didn’t know what I was talking about Sandwich was tasty

Worst experience ever. I went for lunch and ordered a pepperoni pizza with a Caesar salad. I was the only one in there. They brought me my slice of pizza out and it wasn’t thoroughly cooked I let them know they said they would remake it, mind you it’s been bout ten minutes and still haven’t received my Caesar salad either. I am on a time crunch for lunch as is everyone around downtown.More time goes by and I still don’t have either of my food I ordered. Therefore i requested a refund… 30 whole minutes wasted.
