Loyal patrons, the freshest of foods and an owner with a hunger for knowledge are the key elements to Cafe Bella. Located in the University District, this quaint diner offers an alternative to the average modern restaurant.
Owner Vince Withers purchased the 15-year-old cafe in June 2007. Withers is an Ohio State graduate with a degree in engineering who left his job of seven years with the U.S. Department of Defense after protestors of his projects left him unenthusiastic, he said.
Though his new job requires long hours in the restaurant, he does not seem to mind; rather, Withers embraces the challenge of keeping his patrons satisfied. Cafe Bella is especially distinct because it has no set menu.
