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.

Our group of three had an enjoyable Christmas Eve brunch. It’s a great vibe with the high ceilings, but never seems to get uncomfortably loud. Food and cocktails were tasty, and thanks for bringing back the hush puppies!

We have been coming here for since the year it opened, and are disappointed that the quality of the food and service has slipped slightly but steadily over time. The wait staff and bar service are all very polite, but not as accomplished and knowledgeable as we’ve had. The pizzas have become too wet, and the crusts now a wee soggy, even with no extra toppings. They seem underbaked; the crust no longer has any crunch with minimal or no brown on the bottom. This is still our favorite pizza in the area, but now only barely so. We hold out hope that things will improve for Tutta Bella, and all of us, in 2025.

Fantastic service from the team (management)! Food is always good and reliable. As GF person, I don’t eat anything else other than Salad. However, my family enjoys their pizza. Yes, I know they have GF pasta and GF pizza crust, but I don’t feel like paying extra for it.
