An understated storefront hides a coveted skyline view—just one of the many ways you could underestimate this longtime cafe on Mount Baker’s main drag. The menu, the sign—even the name—are a bit of a throwback, but current owners Guy Devillier and David Hoefer took over in 2018 and keep things attuned to today. Carbonara packs more nuance than you might expect, the slightly crackly pizza’s better than it has to be, and the bar pours lambrusco and negroni. No wonder tables are loaded with a diversity of diners.

We had a slightly rowdy group of 8 adults celebrating a birthday. Our table was ready for us when we got there, our server was amazing, food was good and came out quickly and the beverages did not disappoint. Our birthday boy received a complementary dessert and our server joined in to sing him happy birthday. We would 100% recommend this spot to anyone looking for a casual dining location.

First time going to Tutta Bella. We were at the Wallingford location. The parking lot is small, so be prepared to park on the street. We had a reservation for 5 people and arrived 10 minutes early. They had our table set and ready for us. When first walking in we first noticed amazing smells. The staff were courteous and sat us immediately. The decor and ambiance is urban casual. Noise level is moderate. We had drinks and appetizers which we all liked. The menu is limited to some salads, pizza and pasta dishes. My wife and I each had a pasta dish which was very good. My son and daughter each had pizza which had a good crust and the flavors were quite good. We will go there again when in the area. Wish they would open up a location where we live in Bellingham.
