About Us

In the early nineties, Alisa Barry opened a café in Atlanta to share her passion for cooking and eating as an artful ritual. Inspired by her culinary training in California and sabbaticals in the hill towns of Italy, she created a simple menu made with locally sourced ingredients. When her loyal customers kept asking to take home her artful offerings, an artisan food business was born.

Bella Cucina Artful Food is an all-natural, artisan product line available worldwide in lifestyle, gift, and specialty food stores. We believe beauty extends beyond the table and into the home. In addition to our signature small-batch culinary creations, we curate collections for everyday artful living. Our award-winning line of pesto has been featured on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” show in 'O' Magazine, Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, Better Homes & Garden, and Cooking Light.
