Super warm welcome and truly DELICIOUS food!! We will definitely be back. It truly is a hidden gem not to be missed in Stirling.

We were lured in by the sign saying all their food was home cooked and it was certainly delicious. The sausage and mushroom lasagna was especially fantastic. I know where my first choice for lunch will be on the occasion I am in Stirling.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Every time we come to Stirling we make a point of coming here. Definitely worth a visit. Recommend the mushroom and cheese ravioli

Lovely food, and the focaccia was amazing. The meatballs were delicious, the lasagna and roast vegetables all highly recommended!

We wanted a light lunch and stumbled across Bella Zena by chance while wandering around Stirling and so, so glad we did. Lovely, fresh home made soup, piping hot and great tea/coffee. Nothing was too much trouble. The only thing we regret was that we didn’t sample the deserts. They looked wonderful. Really well worth finding the arcade so you can sample the food.

Chanced upon this little gem with authentic homemade Italian food. Spent the day in Stirling and were looking for somewhere dog friendly to have lunch. We had focaccia paninis with different fillings, including Parma ham, chopped tomato, buffalo mozzarella and homemade pesto. They were all so tasty and filling that we barely had room for a wee cake to finish. Fresh coffee was also delicious and set us up well for the afternoon.

Fantastic little Italian cafe. Perfect for lunch or coffee and cake! Very friendly place with excellent homemade food. Visited on our trip to Stirling and would highly recommend it. Food and service were superb. Focaccia breads were delicious.

Tucked away in the Arcade this provided a welcome escape from the rain. Delicious soup and home made pasta and a great coffee. Owners really friendly, even got to meet nona who was visiting from Italy. A real family business.

Lovely friendly owners, beautifully prepared food, bring your own bottle, what’s not to like? Oh one thing, no home made lasagna that day, will have to return?

A lovely little find in the Arcade in Stirling. I had a beautiful home made foccacia sandwich with ham, cheese and tomato - I can still taste it in my mouth a day later! The little 'jammie dodger' biscuit was delicious too - I could have eaten 6! All topped off with a surprise visit of Georgia 🙃. Keep up the good work x

Yesterday was out first visit to Cafe Bella Zena, and we throughly enjoyed our lunch, coffee was excellent and our toasted focaccia was delicious, focaccia bread homemade in cafe so much better than elsewhere, would strongly recommend Bella Zena as we won’t be strangers from now on

Perfect start to our tour of Scotland. Small, friendly, immaculately clean restaurant/cafe, situated in the Stirling Arcade and family run. Excellent tasty Italian food, quality not quantity. Will return on our way back home. Worth finding.

First time visiting this small cafe..... was VERY impressed... excellent coffee and tiramisu. Will certainly return again for a 'proper' meal. Ambience was beautiful... maybe the music could be a bit more apt..but that is probably just me! Friendly staff... although Georgia did not say a lot!

I have visited on a few occasions with family members. The staff are very friendly. The coffee is nice as is the food. They also have some gluten free options. The cafe is in a lovely setting. We will be back!! Thanks.

Great staff..::unfortunately wouldn’t return., this is a small cafe in the Stirling Arcade, the food was tasty, but absolutely tiny portions, for this reason I wouldn’t return, the prices were high for what you got on the plate, my friend’s and I couldn’t not believe the sizes of the main courses, I would say they are tapas sizes - but not tapas prices……

6 of us arrived on speck for lunch, attracted by the ‘all food homemade’ sign and we were not disappointed. Though the owner was working by himself at the time he quickly arranged our table and made us very welcome. He apologised that we may have a wait as he was on his own but we didn’t have to wait too long before our delicious food arrived. We ordered several different dishes and each one was truly excellent. We also had the pleasure of being served our dessert by the lovely ‘Georgia’ the best serving robot this side of China. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will certainly by back

Came across this little café on a recent trip. Food was delicious, all home cooked, served up by attentive and friendly owners. Beautiful surroundings added to the ambience. Although unlicensed, they have a BYOB policy with no corkage charges which, in today's financial climate, makes for a very reasonably priced meal out. I can highly recommend this place, spotlessly clean also!

We booked the cafe for our work team at lunch, during our 'away days' in Scotland, and we were greeted by the loveliest owners, who took care of us from the moment we stepped through the door. We were served delicious, fresh, homemade pastas and...

Lovely small cafe in the old arcade. The owners are so friendly and made a fuss of my little one. We had the focaccia with salami, cheese and mushroom ravioli and some homemade cakes. Simple, delicious and authentic. Rustic decor and great prices.

Found in the town's beautiful Arcade, this is a friendly, very welcoming wee gem. Great freshly prepared and cooked Italian food, sometimes with a twist of other cuisines thrown in for something a little different. I had an enormous portion of delicious broccoli soup today,...

Came here with my partner and the Outlaws. Pizza was great, nicely cooked and the sugo was amazing, so flavourful and delicious. The pizza was a bit thinner and crispier than I personally consider Neapolitan, but that’s really splitting hairs because it was very tasty. I opted for pepperoni. The chips were astonishingly good. I don’t need a pizza AND chips, but I would order the chips again without hesitation. Service was personal and professional and the restaurant ambience and environment was a pleasure to sit in.

Had pizzas and coffees here a while ago. Really nice place, very secluded from the main road and has great views of the Wallace monument and Stirlings hills and scenery. The setup with the sheltered picnic tables, and the container indoor seating area was really neat. A pretty modern and creative idea. We had our dog with us so sat outside. The menu looked really nice with 3 types of pizzas on display. We ordered all 3 and really enjoyed them. They were excellent quality, well presented and just fit the bill exactly. The coffee was excellent quality too, looked very instagramable with the cool coffee art. Will definitely have to come back.

Pizza really wasnt the best, cheap ingredients and poor flavour. The sauce tasted like manufactured rather than homemade.
