We recently hosted our Health Science Internship Banquet at Bella On the Vine and it was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. The venue itself was elegant and welcoming, but what truly made the evening unforgettable was the incredible staff. Every member of their team was attentive, kind, professional, and genuinely cared about making our students and families feel celebrated. Our banquet honored high school interns from our Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, and Patient Care Technician programs, and Bella On the Vine helped create an atmosphere that made every student feel special and valued. Parents, students, and guests continuously commented on how organized, warm, and memorable the evening was. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us as educators to truly enjoy the moment and focus on celebrating our students' accomplishments. We are so grateful for their hospitality, patience, and excellence in service. If you are looking for a venue that not only provides a beautiful space but also treats your guests with genuine care and professionalism, I highly recommend Bella On the Vine. They helped make this milestone event one our students and families will never forget. SAMANTHA WAS AMAZING AND THE SWEETEST! She took care do all our needs and we've above abs beyond! read more

Bella on the Vine - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Converse, Texas

Attended a high school banquet here recently and was incredibly disappointed by the lack of value. Between ticket prices ($25/person) and student fundraising, the venue was well-compensated, but the execution felt cheap. Food options were restricted compared to what was advertised (no Alfredo option as promised, no salad, no appetizers), and the meal was served on disposable plastic dinnerware. Parents even had to supply the desserts. The venue's "photo booth" was just an iPad setup that produced completely blurry, low-quality digital images. To top it off, the seating was uncomfortable metal chairs, and the microphone battery died halfway through the presentation. The facility is clean, but it feels like they cut every possible corner and took advantage of a school group. As a parent who will be looking for wedding and reception venues in the next few years, I will definitely be looking elsewhere. Update 5/17/26: After talking with the team captains and discovering how much this event cost our team, I stand with my original statement and strongly feel these student athletes were ripped off. The venue made thousands for a short event and for the cost, should have offered a more abundant menu. To add a bit more context, they offered tap water (not even lemon) and super sweet tea for drinks, a measured spoonful of pasta, two meatballs, a measured spoonful of green beans and a piece of garlic bread to each guest. Seconds were made available once everyone went through the line and exhausted within 5 minutes of announcing their availability. The student athletes in attendance were hungry. This is a big miss. They are should receive money back, the food provided couldn't have cost more than $350. read more

DO NOT SIGN THAT CONTRACT. At first, I was very excited because Samantha was going to be our coordinator and we had been planning for six months. A week before the event, she notifies me that she will not be in attendance that day and instead was replaced by a woman named Marissa. Because of all of the miscommunication, there was an instance where my family was kicked out from the outdoor patio, I was made to handle all of my vendors, my daughter was crying because I was late to getting ready, because I had to coordinate. And constantly reminding staff of all of the things that I had already communicated with Samantha. Well, I emailed the venue to let them know of the chaos that ensued. They blatantly said that they take no accountability for what had happened and that they did everything right. Yet, when everything was going wrong, a team member had lied and texted Samantha (who was not there) that everything was fine. I'm sure if I were to ask them to post the video footage they would not. In the footage, you would clearly see me running around, my daughter crying, my family being kicked out etc... This was the experience I received after spending 17k. Not to mention food and cake that was wasted because they ignored our request for it to be packaged for the guests. I had reserved the whole venue, and Samantha was very aware that we had designated half of the outdoor patio for that and made it very clear when I booked. Lying will only get you so far. read more

I was looking for a place to host a retirement celebration and was glad to find Papa Dantes has their own venue. We booked the Tavern for Friday, January 21st and the party was perfect! We worked with John for booking and with Sam for the details and it was a perfect event. The weather was good enough for some bocce and cornhole, the food was delicious, and the technical side was good for the zoom call for virtual participation. We also had so much fun with the virtual photo booth! It was a perfect party and celebration and I didn't worry about any of the details on the day and could just enjoy myself. Venue has the information on the baker,Brittany Cotton, because the cakes were also amazing! read more

The event center is breathtaking but the best thing is the Tavern.  The Tavern has AMAZING food, a relaxing and open atmosphere, great bar and extremely friendly staff!!  They just opened so they have a limited menu but what they've chosen to start with is some of the best food I've ever had in a bar/tavern!!!  This is a wonderful neighborhood place where you can  grab a drink and dinner after work or on the weekend, where you can bring your family, where you can watch the game, where you can play a game of bocce ball...it is THE neighborhood spot to have fun and enjoy yourself!! read more

Make sure you get in writing the agreement before booking. Not cool but guess if they do business like one should be aware of them

Great food and service. The pizza is good and so is the meatball sub. Love trivia on Thursdays!

Never had a bad meal here and they have great service, free chocolates, and bocce ball. Try the trivia on Thursdays!

Great place to eat and an even better place to come and hangout with my family and play trivia on Thursday night

We have been coming to Papa Dante's since the early 80s...when they opened the Event Center we just had to try it...disappointed? We were not...what a nice place...we're not bocce players but if you are what a fun place...both indoor and outdoor courts...we were there on Apr 2nd and they are in the process of getting their outside 'backyard' finished...very nice fire pit beside a very nice stage for entertainment...although at the moment their menu is limited what they do have was very good...we were in a party of four and two of us had the burger...it comes with fries or chips...the chips were so good and crispy and tender...the fries equally delicious...I had the fries but the chips were so good...the other two in the party had pizza...12" of beautifulness...one had a fully loaded pizza minus pineapple and jalapeños...one had pepperoni and jalapeños...both really liked the pizzas...thin crust and perfectly baked...3 in the party had a margarita in the rocks...good enough for each to order another...I had iced tea...very good...will we go back? Absolutely...the server Liz is an absolute joy to be around...attentive...smiles...she's the whole package...kudos to the chef...keep up the good work...thanks for a great evening with friends read more

Best fries in town. They have a Unique take on chips and queso, but it works well. The outdoor patio is a great place to hang with friends

What a great place to have a brew/burger and play some weekly Trivia! My family and I come weekly. The outdoor space is beautiful (you have to check out their live music schedule). Keep this venue in mind for your next corporate event/party/wedding/etc. read more
