We went to Bella Maria on a Wednesday evening for dinner. We had driven up from Marco, walked around 5th Avenue and decided Tapas was the best choice for us. We were the only patrons the entire restaurant. It is a bit daunting when the waiter has only you to look after, but we appreciated the service. We started with... more

I love, love, love Bella Mara becuase of the location, the outdoor seating, the tapas, the wine selection and knowledge, the services, the amazing desserts, the salads, the sangria, and the empanadas all with a spanish twist. I visit naples a couple times a year and go back to Bella Maria time after time with my friends and family. I... more

Bella Maria Cafe is probably the only true Tapas Restaurants in naples and if you have had the luxury of going to Spain to experience a typical Tapas dish then this might be the place to go and try the delacious empanadas and the paella. The home made pastrys and the sangria are wonderful. more

I was very disappointed to learn that this restaurant listens to the customer's accent first...then proceeds to add on the tip!!! I had suggested Bella Maria to some German friends...they were shocked that the bill had only a total on it...no break down of tax or tip..they thought our tax rate was 20% or more!!!! The food was just ok... more

Maybe this place had a little bit of a rough start, but in my opinion they have worked out the kinks. The sangria is the best around. The atmosphere is just right. Food is great! If you want to try something different, I highly reccomend the octopus....yummy! more

The food was tasteless and soggy.....The service was non-existent. If you are looking for a restaurant in this part of Naples...look elsewhere. You will be completely disappointed....unless of course you take a glance at your bill...then anger will set in first. more

Best little Gem in downtown Naples. Great authentic Spanish tapas and sherries, attentive service, homemade pastry. My favorite place for a romantic dinner. more

I will start with the good, a sidewalk setting with outdoor tables. The rest goes downhill from there! The staff was rude. The food was bland with small portions. The mozzarella sandwich was white toast with Publix (grocery store)cheese, lettuce and tomato AND it made her violently ill for the next few days. Never again & eat at your own... more

The service at this restaurant is horrible. The food isn't bad but the staff is really unfriendly. Not a very welcoming experience and won't be returning. more
