I was able to set up a surprise High Tea for my mother's 50th birthday here. They were so helpful in the coordination, and everything was delicious!

My sister and I had a DELIGHTFUL lunch at Bella's House of Fine Teas and Gift Shop. The house tea was delicious and went very well with the meal. The ambience added to the warm welcome and service. The UNIQUENESS defines the importance Bella puts in her customers' experiences at the tea house. I WILL RETURN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
NOTE: I did check EXCELLENT for variety, artistry, service, and food in my first review but it did not display EXCELLENT for all.

My daughters and I hosted a tea @ Bella's for my bride-to-be sister two years ago and we are still talking about how wonderful it was! We are out of towners and planned the event via email and phone conversations with Bella. She is a delight! We did not see the tea house until we came into town for the event and we were completely taken back by how lovely everything was for the big day. She and her staff were awesome! Bella's is the perfect venue for a special celebration. (If I didn't live 200 miles away I'd be a regular there, I'm sure!) Thank you, Bella!

Had lunch so many times there over the past number of years. Too many to count. On average I like this place or I would not return. Menu never changes and it should for variety, usually the entree I pick is never available on a average visit there. Need to have bacon on hand for menu selection that offers it.

I had my sister's wedding shower at this Tearoom. I had no idea that I would be a guess at the shower. I felt so special as the host. I selected the perfect venue. Bella and her staff were so accommodating. Everything was just perfect. The food was excellent. We were served a red pepper/sweet potato soup. Oh my God, it was delicious. Next we were served the most delicious scones. Next we were served the tea sandwich course, once again we were amazed at how wonderful these sandwiches tasted. Finally we had the dessert course, we all received four desserts each. We had a wonderful selection of tea. Everyone who attended talked about how much the enjoyed the food and had such a wonderful time. Bill and April the servers made us feel like family. Thank you Bella, you said your goal was to make this an effortless day for me and you and your team delivered. Thank you Bill for loading all the gifts into our cars for us. We are going to come back in the near future for another tea.

We invited Bella to give a presentation on tea and tea etiquette at our women's club meeting. She was very informative on the history and preparation of the 4 different types of tea. Bella and her assistant, Bill, were so courteous and pleasant. The scones they prepared were delicious and authentic. All the ladies had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this presentation to any group and would love to see something like this presented in the school atmosphere to expose children to lessons on etiquette and manners.

This is the best tea room I have been to! Bella is the sweetest, most generous woman. The room is cozy with decorations on the walls, and the tables beautifully set. The food is presented beautifully, and tastes wonderful. There is a large selection of loose leaf teas, and it stays warm with the your pot on a burner! Love it there!

The four of us enjoyed our lunch so much. The peach-apricot tea was great and the wedding soup was the best I have ever had. I just happened to mention that I love chocolate, so Bella made sure our dessert was extra chocolatey. Thank you, Bella! We will be back!

So gentlemen support this place Take your wife, Friends or Significant other

I was visiting Pittsburgh for the Holiday's and was taken to Bella's for lunch. I loved it! I am from NYC and Bella's makes me think of Alice's Tea Cup, but Bella's is more refined. The decor was beautiful with each table having a slightly different feel and style. The house tea was excellent along with the food. The service was gracious too! Come by for a relaxing time.
I look forward to coming back on my next visit to PA.

Our book group met at Bella's for our holiday get-together and the entire experience of high tea was FANTASTIC! Everything from the fresh brewed tea (we sampled Earle Grey Creme, Monk and Strawberry teas) to the apricot scones to the variety of tea sandwiches and desserts couldn't have been better. The staff was so pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to repeat the experience. If you want to go to 'tea,' you have to go to Bella's!
A wonderful lunch is also offered.

This was my first visit, but it won't be the last. I felt like I was living in a dollhouse or in someone's home having a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere was mesmerizing and the service impeccable. The owner Bella is sweet and cheerful, I wanted to take her home with me. She is multi-talented as she hand painted the floral ceiling tiles and you could stay hours and still not see all the beautiful and artful displays. I loved it, a truly unique experience and the best kept secret in Bethel Park!

I'm always looking for a new tearoom to attend. Well, this one rated pretty high in our books. My Mom, friend and her daughter went with me. We loved the soup, scones, sandwiches and dessert. Not only was the food awesome but the hospitality of everyone from Bella to her staff/friends. We will be back!!!!!

I was looking for a place to hold a bridal shower and the minute I walked into the tea shop I knew it was the perfect place. It is beautifully decorated and a walk back to a more relaxed time period. Many times in the months prior to the party I've had lunch there and everything has been excellent! I have enjoyed all the food served. The cream earl grey house tea, soups, fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps ,scones,and desserts are amazing! Having the bridal shower there was stress free. We had some people with food allergies and she made a menu to fit those needs. Bella is an excellent cook, hostess and new found friend. The servers were lovely too. Everyone that attended the shower raved about what a special place it was for such a memorable day. We all plan to visit Bella's tea shop often. She has a heart of gold, wonderful food and it's a lovely place to stop to enjoy the more important things in life.

Hello,
I'm come from Belgium and I've had pleasure to eat in this really nice restaurant. It's original, different compared to the other places where I've eaten. The portions aren't too big, just the good size, and it's really really good. I appreciated the ambiance, relaxed, a little bit of music, and the decoration is wonderful =) Thank you very much!
For testing whether you're looking for something different!

I visited with my sisters because my little sister was here from Philidelphia. Bella is a graacious hostess as is Dotty who was our server for the day. The Earl Grey Creme tea is out of this world and the luncheon was great from soup to dessert. We ordered scones also and they are made by Bella right there and come out of the oven hot . We had such a good time with the antiques , especially the hats. I am sure we will return many times with friends and family. Relax with tea and friends for as long as you like. Thanks, Bella Rita 4/6/2011

My sisters and I visited Bella's on March 18th. I was visiting from out of state so we chose Bella's as the spot for a mini reunion. We had such a wonderful afternoon. Starting with the Earl Grey Cream Tea to the delicious apricot and blueberry scones. The service was warm, friendly and attentive. The food fresh and nicely served. We loved reminiscing among the antique bric-a-brac and clothing. We especially, enjoyed the hats! I would highly recommend 'Bella's' on your next trip to Bethel Park, PA.

On March 12th, a group of my very dear friends and family visited Bella's for my birthday by having high tea. We all had an exceptional time, enjoying the hospitality, food and tea. Bella is an absolutely wonderful hostess - a reflection of a true Southern Lady in a Southern-style tea house. Her tea selection is amazing and each pot of new tea became a favorite. The food items we had, potato soup, apricot scones, tea sammies and desserts, were wonderful. Some of us were even too full to eat all of our desserts!
This is a tea house that is a hidden treasure in the South Hills! Each of the individual rooms have a romantic feel to them and the table settings are beautiful - reminders of a Grandmother's home! My friends and I have all decided that we will be repeat visitors to Bella's House of Fine Teas. Thank you, Bella, for making my birthday memorable.

Spent a very enjoyable time at Bella's this past Saturday. The loose leaf tea selection was very nice, and Bella is a wonderful and very knowledgeable hostess who took the time to recommend various teas and stop by to ensure that everything was going well. The scones were delicious, as were the tea sandwiches, soup and desserts, all in all a very enjoyable time well spent. We had the afternoon tea (which comes with unlimited tea and the mentioned food), and were told that people could stop in for lunch as well. I look forward to returning.

I had the wonderful pleasure of afternoon Tea at Bella's. I was invited by a friend to visit Bella's and I was extremelly surprised by the vast variety of tea's that were offered. The moment you step into Bella's you are greeted by a warm and charming hostess. You are then srounded by beautiful decor with great southern charm. We spent a pleasurable afternoon enjoying the tea and scones (which are the best I have ever had). All of the place setting are unique and beautiful. Even though I live in Mt. Pleasant, I have already made plans to visit again with my daughter and granddaughter. Thank you Bella for the great experience. I plan on being a regular.

I have visited Bella's tearoom several times since it opened in September 2010, and I will visit many more times. As someone whose favorite food group is 'baked goods', I guarantee that Bella's freshly baked scones are the best you have ever tasted. The homemade soups, her chicken salad, the many unique savories, the wonderful sweets - all are exceptional. And then there are the teas. What a variety and selection! There are flavors you've never imagined. This is not a place, it's an experience - an escape to another world and time. Bella is a genuinely beautiful and gracious hostess who will welcome you into her world and you will wish you never had to leave.

I just returned from my second visit to Bella's, and had a wonderful afternoon. Bella was her friendly welcoming self. She made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and in no hurry to leave. The food and her special blend of tea were excellent, as was the beautiful rooms that she has decorated. Will return again, real soon!

My mom and a friend of hers had gone for lunch one day and loved it, so my mom and I went to try afternoon tea and absolutely loved it! The food and tea were delicious and portion sizes were great, very reasonably priced, the atmosphere was very relaxing, and the staff was wonderful. We had a great time! We will absolutely be back!

My daughter-in-law, brought my sister, myself and 6 year old granddaughter to Bella's and we had a wonderful time. My sister Joyce and I have been to several tearooms down South, as that is where we live, and have enjoyed these Southern tearooms very much, however, going to Bella's was a special treat, The food and teas were delicious, and the hospitality shown to us by Bella was the essence of 'Southern Hospitality' in the North. Thank you Bella for a very special time. We will come again...... Pictures to follow.

How delightful!!! Bella's is just the most relaxing experience I had in a long time. The food was excellent and of course the TEA was delightful. Her house tea is worth lingring over with good friends or alone. My first visit was alone and Bella made me feel quite at ease. I would wake up some morning saying, 'I want to go to Bella's'. My girl friends and I went recently and totaly enjoyed our stay. Thankyou Bella for such a delightful place to have in our area. Good luck to you.

I treated a friend of mine to lunch at Bella's House of Fine Teas this past weekend. We had a lovely time. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, served in ample portions for what we thought was a very reasonable price. Bella was so friendly and gracious as she served us. We enjoyed visiting with her. As we sipped our tea, we admired our beautiful surroundings. Soft music was playing, and we were totally relaxed. I am so happy that we now have a tea room in my area. Congratulations, Bella, on an exquisite new place. I'm sure I will be visiting you often.
