About Bella Bacio Café

Run by George on Centennial Avenue, Bella Bacio Café delivers dialed-in espresso, hearty plates, and an effortless terrace perch. Morning regulars drop by for silky flat whites pulled without a hint of scorch, pairing them with bacon and egg rolls or eggs Benedict. When midday hits, the kitchen steps up beyond typical counter snacks with Portuguese chicken burgers, aioli-drenched beef burgers, and crispy beer-battered fish and chips. Outside on the sunny deck, dog bowls wait by the tables while the neighborhood gathers over fresh juices and gluten-free triple chocolate brownies.

  • Owner-Led Hospitality: Proprietor George greets neighborhood regulars by name, customizes espresso temperatures, and keeps dog bowls and treats ready.
  • Made-to-Order Lunches: Full midday meals include Portuguese chicken burgers, hearty beef patties, and house beer-battered fish and chips.
  • Dog-Friendly Terrace: Sunny outdoor deck setup makes an easy stopping point on local walks with kids and dogs in tow.
