FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• Asking Price: $549,990 (Business Only — real estate is leased)
• 2024 Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $261,293
• 3-Year Weighted Average SDE: $240,065
• Q1 2026 Gross Sales: $348,160 (3,472 orders) — ~$1.39M annualized run rate, a meaningful step up over prior years
• Asking price sits at the average value multiplier (2.13× SDE) of an independent valuation — well-supported by the numbers
• FF&E included: estimated replacement value $37,850
LEASE — SECURED FOR A DECADE
• Current rent: $3,067/mo (~$36.8K/yr) with 3% minimum annual escalator
• Lease extends through July 6, 2036 — over 10 years remaining
• Auto-renews in five-year increments thereafter unless 180-day notice
• Landlord covenant prohibits any other restaurant from operating in Woodlake Village Plaza II — a built-in moat
• Outdoor dining permitted by City of Palm Bay
SPACE & EQUIPMENT
• 1,500 SF interior with 44 indoor seats + 47-seat covered patio = 91 total seats
• Fully equipped commercial kitchen, including: Imperial pasta machine, 6-burner stove with oven, Salamander Star broiler, 6-ft hood with extra motor, walk-in cooler, prep refrigerators (True/Edesa), undercounter freezers, Koolaire 1800 ice machine, espresso machine, three-compartment sink, fryer, work tables
• Front of house: 31 dining tables, 41 indoor + 32 outdoor chairs, custom branded serving boards & wine boxes, full chinaware/glassware/silverware, POS, security alarm
• Grease trap and hood maintained on documented service schedule
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
• Currently closed Mondays and Tuesdays — reopening for a full 7-day week immediately captures two additional dinner services
• Lunch service is only offered Saturdays today — expanding to weekday lunch unlocks a daypart with strong office and retail foot traffic
• Catering, delivery, and private-event programs leverage existing kitchen capacity
• The 47-seat covered patio is a year-round Florida asset — perfect for live-music nights, wine programming, or expanded service
CURRENT HOURS
Wed–Thu 4 PM–9 PM • Fri 4 PM–10 PM • Sat 12 PM–10 PM • Sun 12 PM–8 PM • Mon–Tue closed
STAFF & TRANSITION
Small, tenured team (6 full-time, 2 part-time) is in place and willing to stay on under new ownership. Owner is offering a standard 2-week transition covering vendors, recipes, daily operations, scheduling, ordering, and POS. Additional training negotiable.
WHY IT'S FOR SALE
Owner relocation — a clean, personal exit. Operations, staff, and vendor relationships remain in place, making this a true turn-key opportunity.
Documentation available to qualified buyers on signed NDA: 2022–2025 tax returns, monthly P&L, sales reports, lease and amendments, FF&E inventory, payroll summaries, and the independent business valuation.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- Trattoria Bella sits on Palm Bay Road NE, the main east-west commercial corridor of Palm Bay, FL — a high-traffic location in Brevard County's largest city by population. Authentic Italian dining is underserved in the immediate market, and Trattoria Bella has built a defensible reputation with 1,000+ Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars. Landlord-granted exclusivity prohibits any competing restaurant from opening in the same plaza, protecting the location moat.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Multiple clear paths to top-line growth: (1) The restaurant is currently closed Mondays and Tuesdays — reopening for a full 7-day week immediately captures demand on the two highest-margin night slots. (2) Lunch service is only offered Saturdays; expanding to weekday lunch unlocks a daypart with strong office and retail foot traffic. (3) Adding catering, delivery, and private-event programs leverages existing kitchen capacity. (4) The 47-seat covered patio is a year-round Florida asset that can be programmed with live music or wine nights. Q1 2026 is already trending at a ~$1.4M annualized run-rate, materially above 2024 — momentum is in the buyer's favor.
