    Another exceptional experience at Bella Cafe - Chevy Chase. I took two newbies and they loved it. One had the grilled salmon salad, and the other had the vegie burger. I had the chicken salad. We finished every bite! We were greeted by Kathy whom is like family and took us to our special table in the corner. I will go back again, and again, and again!

    Everything - I mean everything was spectacular! From our starters - the Brussels sprouts and Ahi tuna apps - fresh and delicious! Salads were straight out of garden - and that pitaschio dressing - oh my! Our entrees were beautifully presented and exceptional in quality. Our table had quite variety of choices: lobster ravioli special, pork chop, brined and fried chicken and the filet - were all outstanding! I already know what I will order on our next visit!. Our out town guests (from a much larger metro) were so impressed by our local choice. Our craft cocktails were also spot on. New patio renovation was beautiful too. Distilled is an excellent choice - you will not be disappointed.
