Pasta Y Pizza

Everything we tasted was phenomenal. You have to try the pistachio cake, it was perfect, never had anything like it.

Ordered the Regina Margherita focaccia and it was delicious! The crust was perfect, crisp and light. I am excited for the new addition downtown.

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.

Just had the parmigiana on focaccia and it was delicious! Perfectly sautéed eggplant slices with mozzarella and confit tomato’s! If you’re in the ft worth area definitely check this place out!

Great lunch time Bologna sandwich. Crispy on the outside and delicious flavors on the inside. Just the right amount also, didnt feel over full.

We were in Fort Worth for a conference and we had to figure out where to get lunch. There were 1400 attendees and most of the places near the conference were packed so we decided to walk further than usual. The original place we wanted to go was at capacity. So my boss found Bella Gente. I am so glad she did. First off it smelled so good coming in. We were able to find seats immediately. I ordered a chicken sandwich. It arrived quickly and was well priced. I should have ordered a 12 inch because I devoured that 6 inch and it was delicious. I loved that the food was healthy and fresh. I wish I had a Bella Gente here in ohio. I can't wait to go back.

Very friendly service and great authentic Italian food.

Delicious food and a variety of authentic italian foods, reasonable prices too! Owners/employees are extremely kind, welcoming, and provide great service

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! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

The owners were very friendly and the pizza was delicious with a crisp crust!

This was one, if not the best pizza places I've ever been to, a must to try when in the fort worth texas area. I spilled crushed red pepper all over my sandwich and ruined it, the staff said don't worry and whipped up a new one right away free of charge!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 🥰❤️😋🇮🇹

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.

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!

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!

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
