    Small but mighty. A nice neighborhood gem I didn’t know existed. High quality Italian if a little on the spendy side. Would definitely go back though.

    Love Godfrey’s—it reminds me of (albeit larger) cafes and shared spaces in Europe. Food is generally good (breakfast is my favorite). I live close by, so I can pop in, but having the option for reservations is tremendously helpful. ,

    We came to Bella Café for brunch. The first thing I noticed was the cute blankets in a basket you could use if you wanted to sit outside on this slightly cool day. Very cute idea. I wonder if the sidewalk cafés in Belgium offer the same? Once inside, we were seated at a table and I noticed the height of the chairs are a bit taller than usual. I appreciated this since I’m tall. The menu was an incredible display of delicious options from waffles to steak fritte to mussels to a variety of omelettes. Between that and the delicious drink menu, it took us a minute. We settled on brunch. A fluffy Gruyère and Gouda omelette with fresh herbs. Divine! I got a fruit parfait with Greek yogurt. The bowl was large and full of fresh berries! Delish. My boyfriend got the cowboy skillet with the short ribs and loved it . Our server was great-attentive and funny. We had a great time. We’ll be back to try dinner!
