Bella Bru Cafe

This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant, and I really love the food and the service. They have outdoor seating if you want to dine outside, as well as cozy indoor searing. The ambiance gives upscale Black Bear Diner vibes. The customer service is kind and attentive. We were seated promptly, our orders were taken, and our food was hot and freshly prepared. I had my 3 young adults with me, and two ordered the blackened salmon sandwich. One ordered the crab cake sandwich, and I ordered the salmon blt sandwich. DELICIOUS!!!! I have had both the salmon sandwich and the salad before. The crab cake sandwich looked so good, I wished I had given it a try. And the young lady who had it LOVED IT!! The two who had the salads enjoyed them as well. I will say that after my first time coming here, I did a copy cat of the salad at home, so the girls knew what to expect. I brought them here so they could have it straight out of the kitchen where I had gotten the recipe idea. I will be back. There is a crab cake sandwich with my name on it!

This was the second time coming here. I appreciated the bar tender coming to seat us when he noticed no one was at the front. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed a bit too busy. Everything took a while with him. The food was pretty good. We had the salmon BLT and chicken and beet salad. The chicken portion was big, but it was super dry. The best were the shrimp tacos. Very flavorful, indeed. This trip we were a little less impressed than the first time.

While in town visiting, a friend recommended this place. It was definitely packed on a Sunday early afternoon. While we were told it would be a 45 minute wait, we maybe waited 20 minutes for our party of 3 to be seated. All 3 of us ordered something different and they were all great! While it was super crowded we still felt our server was attentive. The only snare for me was watching how dirty plates were cleared by staff into buckets and no washing of hands or even wiping them afterwards before handling fresh drinks and food plates. I understand it is a fast paced environment but maybe a squirt of sanitizer can be used and kept handy???

We stay right here in Natomas for years and we just now tried this place and it was a pleasantly pleasing experience and definitely worth coming back again and again it was a 15 to 20 minute wait but it seemed shorter than that. We opted to eat outside on this beautiful Saturday and that’s where they seated us. Had orange juice and daughter had cranberry juice . I ordered a spinach omelette with a side of chicken sausage and daughter had their huevos rancheros. The food was Amazing and our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable on what the favs were! What a way to start off our weekend! Thank you Bella Bru!

I'm visiting from out of town and I've already been here twice! The food was fantastic and the service was excellent! I had the spinach mushroom omelet and everything was so fresh. I highly recommend the sourdough toast.... the best I've ever had! Oh, and the mango iced tea...delicious! I really enjoyed sitting out on their patio, too.
