Bella

Kangaroo Island


In a new location on Kingscote's main strip, long-running Bella is a cheery Italian cafe/pizza bar, now occupying a former drapery (1907). The pizza menu runs all day (delivery within the Kingscote area), with cafe accompaniments for breakfast and dinner. Good coffee, good lasagne, and an even better 'House Special' pizza (tomato, onion, bacon, prawns, feta and mozzarella).
