Che Bello
Che Bello is an intimate Italian speakeasy tucked onto the beautiful downtown Bloomington square, where authentic Italian cooking methods meet craft cocktails in a casual yet sophisticated setting. The full bar boasts an impressive martini list alongside carefully selected domestic and imported wines, craft cocktails like the classic Negroni and refreshing Aperol Spritz, creating a drinking experience that honors Italian aperitivo culture with artisanal precision. Fresh-baked focaccia arrives with every meal, and the kitchen's commitment to authentic preparation—from fried ravioli to chicken parm—establishes Che Bello as a place where food and drink are equally celebrated. Close to the Indiana University campus yet intimate in scale, this Italian speakeasy captures the warm, convivial spirit of an old-world trattoria bar where every evening feels like a secret gathering of kindred spirits.
