  “First time coming into Café Villabella and I really enjoyed it. The staff were lovely, really friendly and accommodating, and made my latte just how I like it. The place was very clean, had a great atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was smiling, polite, and had a little joke with you, which made it feel really welcoming. Really nice experience and I’ll definitely be back.”

  “I attended a brunch arranged for a group of South African ladies and it was my first time. The venue itself looks AMAZING inside and I was shocked to see it's 3 stories high! It's well decorated and looked clean and gave a true Spanish villa vibe - I loved it! The service was beyond amazing! You can understand the staff looking after grown ups, but the staff here looked after our kids table just as attentively as ours! I saw a gentleman bring a cushion for one of my daughters then as we were leaving my youngest showed me a bucket of pebbles he'd brought her too. Every time he'd bring someone a drink or food, he'd check the rest of us were OK or if we needed anything. He was just LOVELY as well! Friendly and caring and generally nice. And considering how busy it was - the food came out relatively fast. The food...YUM!!! I ordered 2 jacket potatoes - tuna and sweetcorn and a chilli con carne with cheese, a ham and cheese toastie with a side of coleslaw and a chicken and ham baguette with lettuce. The food all came well presented - jackets came in a beautiful bowl and the portions were not stingy - baguette came on a wire rack with crisps - and the toastie on a side plate with a ramekin of coleslaw. The milkshakes looked amazing too and my latte was delicious! I didn't get any photos as I was meeting the ladies for the first time and didn't want to be distracted but I'll be going back so will get some photos then.”

  “Me and my partner went on a day out in derby and near the end of it we decided to pop in for an unwind as it started to get a bit drizzly outside. We were welcomed into a warm and inviting atmosphere with gorgeous decor. It felt so cosy here! We weren't peckish but they had plenty of food options- so instead we had two deluxe white hot chocolates and they were by far the best we have ever had! They were so so very rich and creamy! Left us feeling very warmed up and contented. Brilliant place to stop by for a breather! We also have sent something over to your instagram that we think you might be interested in as a token of our appreciation for our visit! 🙌🏻”

  “My go to cafe for price, music, decor, friendly staff and atmosphere. The cafe is central to Derby Centre. The front window does not give this cafe a good impression but when inside you will not be disappointed. The food is great, wonderful atmosphere, music and decor, prices are brilliant and staff are outstanding. Please give this cafe a try and you will see what I mean. Brilliant keep up the good work guys. Just been awarded the winner of the best cafe by the Food and Drinks standards.”

  “Lunch at Derby's Best Cafe Villabella located on Babington Lane in the city centre. When we heard our favourite Grand Cafe Caruso that we had visited for years had closed,we were gutted. This is where they have re-located to. We did visit in their early days of opening, but they hadn't sorted out the full menu then. As we were in Derby, it was the ideal chance to try them out again,now they have settled in. Have you ever dined on the Italian Riviera? If not,this is as close as you'll get to it in Derby. Once you step inside, the decor transports you to the Amalfi Coast in Italy.It's very light and spacious. We headed upstairs to find a table on the upstairs terrace/balcony for the views (of the downstairs). It was great to see the menu again,with some old favourites and new additions. There's so much to choose from and spoilt for choice. We eventually chose a firm favourite, the Prawn & tuna salad £9.95. Which comes on a giant plate and served with coleslaw and a fresh baguette. Italian Toasty £5.95 Ham & Cheese with fried egg on top served with a side salad of tomato,basil,olives in olive oil & onion dressing. To drink,a couple of Morettis. All we needed now was the sunshine 🌞 We couldn't come here and not have one of their famous oven baked jacket potatoes. Back downstairs to order a cheese & beans delight £4.55 with a couple of their lovely Italian coffees. The friendly staff bring your order to the table when it's ready. The potato was huge and served in a bowl, which prevents the spillage of the copious amount of beans. The quality and portions are very good value. It was so good to back in Italy,oh sorry Derby”

  “I cannot believe such a nice coffee exists in Derby, the decor and the place inside was just stunning, surprised by it, it's very crowded Saturday but still nice! Their coffee and specially latte was something else, superb 👌 it smells great and tastes wonderful! Real Italian coffee! The only thing I wish they would open Sundays, as well I really wish if they can add croissants or brioches to their menu for people who like to enjoy such a thing with a coffee”

  “This fabulous place is a must see in Derby. The place radiates of Mediterranean infuence and decor it has three floors and it's handy located near town centre just up the road from Derbion shopping centre. Clean, welcoming, spacious with beautiful decor is well complimented with affordable food and drinks menu that will not leave you gutted, instead you will wish to come back again and again. This place can be used for large parties, catered by friendly and helpful staff, it has two bars (ground and second floor). This place is a must see and try next time when you are in Derby city centre. Highly recommended.”
