Bella's Café was a café owned and run by Bella Lasagne.
Description[]
Bella's café contains a large pizza oven, which is the source of at least one fire due to inadequate chimney sweeping (a birds' nest falling into the oven from the chimney and catches fire on the day the oven was installed). Bella's café serves mostly Italian food, along with pastries and desserts. In Series 10 it was mentioned by Bronwyn in the episode Pizza Pandemonium that Bella moved to Newtown, even though her cafe still appears in Pontypandy throughout the series. In Fiery Football, Bella has a new café in the Pontypandy Park.

Trivia[]
- For some reason since Series 6, the logo on Bella's café awning changes from the written words "Bella Café" to a symbol which bears resemblance to a cup of coffee.
- This was probably done for international purposes.
- In the right window there is an advertisement for "Ridoli's", which as indicated by a poster below the main ad in Series 1 - 4 is a brand of ice cream, however in Series 5 there is no "Ice Cream" poster below the sign, and the word "Ridoli's" is removed entirely from Series 6 onwards, leaving only 3 ice cream cones on the sign.
- In Series 1 - 5 the word "Café" on the sign above the door is written in both English (Café) and Welsh (Caffé). In a similar vein, the menu’s heading in the window is written in both English (Menu) and Welsh (Bwydlen).
- There is no smoke alarm in the cafe. Except from the Series 2 episode Safe with Sam.
- Bella's mugs also appeared in the "Joshua Jones" episode "Boomer".
