Reviews of Bella Italia - Birmingham
C. M.
Wonderful evening out. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. The food was great, we went as a group of 6 and every one really enjoyed their meals so much I didn't get to take photos. Mom's quite fussy, but even she was pleased.
We were so comfortable, we had cocktails and even desserts, everything was beautifully presented. Was offered recyclable containers for any left overs.
Such a warm environment with low music in the background. We will definitely return!
I. S.
Mamma Mia !! A really decent place for a decent Italian food at a decent price. To be honest, some items could be better but overall no complaints. The location and decor makes up for everything. Nice big place with lots of seating available and great customer service.
Must try - Carbonara, and Arancini balls.
H. D.
Had the mini calzones as a starter and for £3.99 a portion of 2 were not worth it. I ate them in 2 bites. Very stingy portioning.
However the ‘Pollo Saltimbocca’ was a very nice dish and recommended.
Friend had a 241 code via email sign up so this made up for the small portion control!
R. A. J.
Friendly service. Accommodated us as a walk in (had been prepared to book the next day). Food sublime, beautifully cooked and presented. More than happy to box up what we couldn't finish, into a recyclable take away container.
Merlot red wine smooth and fruity. Staff efficient, organised and professional. Only saw three members of staff on the floor, they never stopped. Well organised team.
G. M.
Tasty food and nice atmosphere in the restaurant. We went with friends and had a good lunch . Several items not available but plenty of other items to choose from . Food was hot and fresh but our fries were cold and come out 15 min after our mains .
Other than that all was great and would go again .
W. B.
One of the best restaurants in Birmingham, all of the orders were amazing.
C. C.
Staff were amazing and courteous. They looked at our party and seated us appropriately but the only issue was because we were tucked away a bit (pushchair and breastfeeding) it felt like we're were forgotten a lot, hence the 4 stars. We were exhausted and just wanted to eat and leave but we were there for a lot longer and we had to ask for things at times, such as the bill
H. P.
I rated this restaurant a 3 star because although the food was okay the portions were very small compared to just a couple of years ago. The decor was tastefully done but they totally forgot about the toilets. The service was good. Lovely, kind and pleasant staff.
A. W.
Really busy service but waiter was exceptional despite being so busy. Just the right amount of attentiveness and personality. Food was good too. The only negative was the reluctance of some customers to follow mask wearing guidance.
W. R.
Overall satisfactory could do better in the following areas: at least ask the customer once was everything okay i was on my owe and flet like a loner ; food presentation was good , taste was as good as photo taken, staff member were professional and providen plenty of eye contact. Cleanliness of restaurant was good overall 8/10 but i know they van do better keep up the hardwork guys

My girlfriend and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary at the same Bella Italia as we visited for our very first date. Amy was our server and she's one of the loveliest people in the industry ! The other gentleman was very attentive too but I didn't catch his name, their attitudes only added to the delicious food. Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic meal!
A. P.
Absolutely fantastic! After early shopping with my friend, decided to pop in for a quick lunch to your Bella Italia in Birmingham. We were greeted by a lovely pregnant She took our details for track and trace, explained safe practices in place and menu , asked us where we would like to sit. We decided to sit outside as the weather was gorgeous! Our wonderful waitress explained new chicetti and unavailable items. We ordered calamari and garlic dough balls, to follow by 2 pastas. My friend chose fresh pasta in creamy mushroom sauce and I ordered my favourite Prawn pasta. Food was delicious, well seasoned and just right portions. Both had mocktails, tropical cooler and mint and strawberry. Very refreshing, not too sweet and presented wonderfully. Over all, top scores ! Service was friendly, prompt and not in your face. Portion sizes just perfect and bill wont break your bank. We will be back!
A. C.
Whole network of "Bella Italia" keeps the same/similar standard therefore I knew I'm in for a treat and I wasn't disappointed. If you love pasta or pizza you will enjoy the place. I would calle it street food but street food which came from Italy: simple and delicious. Decent choice of wines and desserts will make the place something more than just a street food and if you will have a lovely staff to serve you probably you'd enjoy like I had.
M. T. S.
Had an early dinner here on Saturday before a show, it was extremely busy however nothing was too much trouble. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious. You need to book in advance as many people were turned away
S. T.
Went here for a meal before a theatre trip. It can get very busy on the weekends but this doesn't effect the amazing service! I was in a bit of a rush to get to the theatre and never got a chance to tell my server how great he was. These staff don't get enough credit! Great food, great prices, great staff, 10/10!!
D. J.
Just a Pizza and pasta joint? Couldn't be more wrong! I've not eaten here in more than 20 years, preferring the more swanky San Carlo and making the mistake of using Gino's restaurant a few weeks ago. We were only out for a couple of beers and a bite to eat so not a formal night by any measure. Hadn't booked anything but despite being Saturday evening, we were accommodated very quickly. Amy was our waitress and despite having several tables to deal with, she was very attentive and knowledgeable on the the menu. Prawns with chillies and garlic (Gamberi Aglio), for starters was certainly Restaurant quality and a decent portion size too. The wife then had Pollo Cacciatore which was very tasty and I decided to mix things up a bit. I wrongly assumed that things like the Calzone would be pre-prepared and just warmed up. Amy assured me that everything was freshly made and I could make my own Calzone. Not physically go to the kitchen but ask chef to add ingredients, so I did. Absolutely amazing! As good as I have eaten anywhere in the world, including Italy. Price is very reasonable and as I have already touched on, the service we received from Amy was amazing. Would certainly recommend this an evening meal and if your lucky enough to get Amy as your waitress then you will not go far wrong.
S. J.
Chicken was delicious, pasta was missing taste. Nice atmosphere, polite staff.
P. C.
What can I say about Bella Italia it was so busy on Saturday but to their credit the service and food was excellent. We ordered expecting a long wait but was surprised by how quick we were served. The server who looked after us was amazing and the food was brilliant, so good that we will definitely be back. Credit to the staff at Bella Italia you made us very welcome and the food was quality. Five star rating. 😀
C. L.
Myself and my partner enjoyed our visit today we have always liked Bella Italia so thought we would try the one in Birmingham. Very nice environment and not too busy. Professional staff and good service. Starter and mains were really good, I had the lasagne which tasted amazing! Reasonably priced. Only negative I can say is the puddings we didn't enjoy, the brownies were very dry and weren't very nice. Apart from that a nice evening with good food and will come again.
c. a.
Bella was ok but busy. The card system was down and it took ages to get the bill but the manager was courteous and ensured that the kids where fed with a nice discount for all the inconvenience. Overall the kids enjoyed it even if the adults did find it slight stressful
J. M.
Had the most enjoyable meal at Bella Italia on Wednesday Evening.
The food was gorgeous 😍 The service excellent 👏👌👍 Price very responsible.
Definitely recommend Bella Italia for a n Evening meal - 5 out of 5
S. K.
Pleasant friendly staff. Food abit overcooked and not very warm. Great place if you want to be central for German Market.
P. S.
Lovely place. Amy our waitress was too draw very friendly and helpful. Great place to eat and watch the world happily go by..
M. J.
Food was a bit disappointing, starters were very good, but the mains did not live to our expectations. staff members were really nice though.
I would recommend not going on a Saturday night IF you are looking for a QUIET place.
M. D.
Went with my partner had a really enjoyable meal. There was a little bit of a gap between course but they did start to get busy so I guess that was understandable. But would recommend paying a visit.
D. W.
Good, tasty food. Cosy atmosphere with high and traditional seating. Some of the seating is overdue some maintenance. Lots of options to cater for most eaters, with dedicated vegetarian and vegan menus. There was a bit of a wait for the starters and then again with the mains. Impressed with the dessert. Staff were friendly and attentive.
S. &. S.
Really pleasant looking restaurant and the food was nice. Service could definitely be improved. There was a lot of attention on the table next to us but we felt ignored. They arrived after us but their orders were taken before ours. At one point there were 2 servers checking that they had everything they needed (& they did) while we had been waiting a good 10mins or more to order more drinks. We weren't asked if everything was ok or if we needed anything at any point. Our server was always very polite & friendly when we got her attention but it would have been nice if she was a bit more proactive with us as she was with the other table. Needless to say no tip.
C. F.
Went here for the first time with my girlfriend as part of our anniversary and the food was lovely so full of flavour and good price too plus the staff were lovely and friendly too!
R. E.
We were accommodated early for our booking which was good and service was prompt and friendly, surroundings were clean and tidy.
Our courses arrived in good time and were tasty, not sure if this venue is offering a limited menu or not but a seafood risotto which was shown on the on-line menu was not available on the in-store menu.
One minor point was that the garlic dough ball starter was rather meager as far a portion size but otherwise an enjoyable experience.
I would really like the lamb Ragu and pasta dish to return though as that was my favourite!
V. R.
Excellent meal, Staff very helpful you must book !!! Top place
a. g.
You know what you're getting. Mine wasn't the greatest, but I put that down to me making the wrong choice. Wifes was as good as usial though
n.
Food was nice, however it wasn't warmed properly. Some were hot while the rest was cold. One of the sauces were bitter, and wasn't that filling even though we ordered 4 mains for 4 people.
E. Z.
We went for Bottomless brunch and were served by Amy and she was excellent! Super nice and attentive. Quick Prosecco refills and food was great. Great value for money and great all round experience. Kully was also great! So lovely. Would recommend to anyone
G. R.
Great food and very friendly and attentive staff, restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again
S. C.
They were very busy, my food arrived cold, which they soon replaced with a hot meal. No problems and friendly staff. 👌
D. C.
We were a party of 14 who arrived late in the evening during the Christmas Market. The amazing staff agreed to stay on to feed us and looked after us really well and were so friendly. Thank you very much
S. H.
While the food has proven itself time and time again the wait times get longer and longer, I can honestly say I have never had to wait so long for a glass of water. Go for the food bit give yourself plenty of time and patience.
E. C.
Husband and I are here to try out their new menu. As usual we got excellent service and the food was delicious.
I started with the mussels italiano in white wine sauce whilst my husband had his favourite bruschetta. The mussels sauce was AMAZING! I could have had that as just a soup it was so good! It was smooth and savoury and complimented the saltiness of the mussels. It came with a nice slice of crusty bread to soak up the remaining sauce. The bruschetta was firm and crunchy with a large amount of toppings. My husband couldn't get enough of it.
We followed it up with spaghetti marinara and diavola forte pizza. The spaghetti was delish! My only comment would be they need to be careful with calamari. It could easily become over cooked (aka rubbery). Mine was just on the verge of going that way but was still tender. Problem is the heat of the pasta continues to cook the seafood and getting calamari just perfect is hard to do. My husband's pizza was perfect! I snuck a couple bites. The bread was the authentic italian flavour! The recipe was spot on! Word of warning - the sausage is very spicy and it's Cajun spicy not Asian. Totally different kind of heat which best had with a beer not milk.
For a finish we had a cioccolata mousse and a sicilian lemon cheesecake. That mousse is STRONG CHOCOLATE. Amazing and smooth as a mousse should be. The shortbread pearls gave a bit of caramel flavour to it that takes it to another level. The lemon cheesecake is TART. I love tart desserts like those lemon Herbert's so if you don't like a strong lemony tart this isn't for you. It's perfect for me tho. I loved the lemon drizzle around it and the creamy topping.
I've included photos of our meal.
All in all an amazing dinner and an exciting new menu! Thank you Bella Italia and we'll see you soon!
S. D.
Very busy because of german market but seated quickly and service and food lovely.
1 wrong starter but was quickly replace and wrong one gifted to us.
Food was nice and hot
M.
Foods are good, but service is not. When I came in, nobody led me to a seat, so I sit by myself. Also, the waitress didnt notice me, so I had to walk to her and ordered. It was weird :|
K. B.
Food was pretty good. Didn't have to wait to be seated. Waitress was lovely. Just a bit too noisy.
S. G. (.
Very warm personal, nice and cosy atmosphere, food was a bit delayed due to the high number of customers but that wasn't a big issue.
A. B.
Absolutely brilliant experience. Lovely staff, delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go here again
N. X.
Lovely place with friendly and professional staff. The food is lush!
L.
Excellent food and excellent service, in particular the service we received from our server Gheorghe was world class. Service you'd expect from a resaurant 4 times the price.
M. S.
What a really pleasant surprise. The food was excellent and the staff were some of the best. I really recommend this restaurant
D. B.
Even though I was a groupon customer, the waitress was amazing.
And the food, excelent.
I'm going again
M. J.
Fantastic food and the service was great 😁 we will definitely be back
C. R.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the creamy mushroom pasta from this place. Bella Italia serves with relatively good prices, especially if you take advantage of the set menu and the food is great. There are plenty of vegetarian options available and the atmosphere in these restaurants is nice, not too noisy despite how busy it is too. Will definitely be revisiting at some point soon.
B.
Me, my partner and our young child were having a day out shopping in Birmingham, and wondered into this restaurant. We weren't expecting much (not that we don't love Bella Italia because we do) but we were just famished at the time. We were so pleasantly suprised when we were met with the friendliest of staff. The manager, the lovely waitress and bar tender (he makes a hell of a strawberry gin). From the moment we stepped foot into this restaurant we were treated with such respect and given the best possible care. We were astounded by the cleanliness of everything. The food was absoloutly exquisite, the customer service was and banter was priceless. We of course left a lovely tip and thanked them for everything during our visit. We could not praise or recommend them enough! 5 stars from us.
W. M.
Went for a 3 course meal and food was great. Complements to the cook.
I asked for a cola and the waitress brought me a corona and then said I said corona not cola then I thought your from somewhere in eastern Europe and I’m from Birmingham England my English is pretty good. The corona was on the bill too so I had to ask for that to be removed.
1. x.
The service was friendly and fast. It is a cute and warm environment to have a meal out. The food looks and tastes amazing but the pasta was too plain for my taste
A.
Food was amazing, but unfortunately the staff brought me the wrong meal so had to send it back, even though we already waited for 25 minutes. But they did prepare me what I ask for in 10 minutes.
N. H.
Good atmosphere and tasty food. Definitely recommend the lasagne gorgeous
C. C.
A very enjoyable meal. A nice restaurant and would definitely go there again
A. Z.
Service was very good and the food was great. Everything was cooked well and served hot. They were busy so there was a bit of a wait on the mains which was okay given how busy they were. We spent a lot but it was worth what we spent in terms of portion. The slight let down was one portion of sweet potato fries was cold inside but we had ordered other portions of this and the rest did not have this issue so I believe it was simply a one off.
TLDR: Food and service was great. Pricing was consistent. I recommend the cookie dough desert.
T. J.
Honestly I've never had customer service like it, it was unparamouted. Kully our waiter was absolutely amazing. He made us feel right at home! We enjoyed jokes with him and Kully had such a personal touch!
Food was amazing to top it off. No complaints whatsoever!
We will definitely be returning!!!
S. W.
We were a party of 18 people & were well looked after by the friendly staff. The Carbonara was delicious. Great value for money.
V. M.
Lovely food. Good service. In centre of city in easy reach of the railway station and shops. Not far from Symphony Hall and other entertainment venues.
A. M.
5 stars because staff was friendly and helpful, and the carbonara overtook widely my expectations.
A. B.
The food was very tasty, the service was very good.
M. W.
Fantastic visit Yesterday and special credit goes to Tudor who was our waiter, thanks very much
E. S.
Pleasant experience. Nhs discount and great food.
J. H.
The service was first class, but the food left a bit to be desired. The starters were good. For mains, the pizza base was soft rather than crisp, the filling on the oily side.
K. J.
Food was lovely and waiter was very accommodating as we have a little baby with us. Very polite and food came quick
D. P.
We had a great meal, very nice staff
H. K.
Very nice food for a good price. Service was very slow though it was busy
D. H.
Good quality food, had a bit of a wait for the meal but may have been due to the hen night taking place on another table.
C. H.

Food was amazing and arrived quickly despite the restaurant being very busy.
D. L.
We ate here on a quiet Tuesday night so it wasn't too crowded however the atmosphere was lovely. It has loads of choice for my family especially as one of us is gluten free and vegetarian! The waiter, Kully, was really nice and friendly. He is very funny and a lovely person in general. The restaurant is very nice and I love the design. Overall I would recommend to come here greatly!
R. Y.
Waiter was really nice and food came out quickly. Would go again!
I. H.
The food not was good, but the service OK.

Lovely food, as always and a lovely refreshing cocktail too. Staff friendly and polite. Very helpful. Would highly recommend Bella italia. It's a great place to enjoy great food with great company.

A. M.

C. D.
Lovely place with good food. The service was very good.
S. L.
The staff were excellent here, really pleasant and helpful. The interior is a bit drab compared to other Bella Italia's that I've visited. The air conditioning is a bit cold too.
S. H.
Good thin pizzas. Nice atmosphere and right near the station

A great place to eat with friends or on your own.

T. R.
The food was tasty and staff were really great. And the service for kids is great; children's menu, balloons, colouring crayons and paper, lovely drink staws for kids.
p. t. (.
Very good italian food just like mama use to make and very friendly staff
J. M.
Food very slow, when it arrived it was stupidly hot with chillies.
They offered to replace it but my partner was left waiting without food for 30 minutes. So I ended up giving her half mine. Not a great experience
J. G.
Good food. Friendly service.
L. M.
Really friendly staff, every item of food we ordered was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious, very reasonable prices. Hadn't been to a Bella Italia in about 5 years, but we will definitely be back much sooner this time!
J. G.
It's not bad but I was expecting penny la arrabiata it's chilli tomato sauce garlic
L. H.
Very busy but they fitted us in. Good friendly service. Meal was enjoyed by all. Good value.

J. L.
Usual good food and service that you expect from a Bella Italia
k. g.
Great place to eat. Lovely friendly staff and extensive gluten free menu. I have recommenced the restaurant to friends and family and look forward to visiting again.
M. P.
We came in after lockdown. Bella italia is our favourite, food has never let us down, service- best part of it genuine, welcoming and fun! We know everyone there, always nice to be acknowledged upon arrival. What a great bunch of people work there! Great Covid practice in place, sanitisers, social distance, disposable menus and team members sanitising each table and chairs after customers. Great as always !
C.
We were served and ate within 30 minutes if being there and I believe most food have the option of being meatless if you ask. The food was really good and well priced, just under £15 per person with a drink. They are one of the few places I know that do a vanilla hot chocolate well. Sweet and you can taste the vanilla. Very please overall.
s. e.
Good food but service was poor. Had a long wait to be seated in a half full restaurant, then a long wait to take our order. The food was lovely though a little too hot. Nice atmosphere and comfortable. More staff would make a big improvement in service and in turn more profits.
J. R.
Great service. Very tasty meal.
P. F.
Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend
K. A.
We went in before going round the German Market, always busy in here because the food is very good, and the lady that served us was friendly and helpful. We had dough balls before our main which was grilled Chicken tasted delicious. We have been lots of times and recommend this restaurant.
H. L.
Great staff members, couldn’t really fault much only the wait time however that’s due to the busy periods. Had a great birthday surprise
Z. R.
Firstly, I LOVE BELLA ITALIA, I've visited many, but i rate this one 3 stars because it just wasnt as good as the others I've visited. My local is Dudley, but we went here for a team night out, only 7 people, and it was booked in advance. We arrived on time, but were kept waiting at the front desk for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Which was just awkward.
When we were seen to an seated, it took a while for our server to take our drink and even longer to receive them. We did enjoy them though.
When it came to food, it took a long time for the food to come out, and then 1 persons food didn't arrive. It was only a pizza. We asked and they started to make it for her, but then everyone had started eating without her.
Most of the people enjoyed their food, however I had the vegan meatballs and pasta, the meatballs were overdone and the pasta undercooked, so I was quite disappointed. It wasn't particularly busy, but staffing may of been an issue, as when we asked for some refills, she said "I just want to go home!" ... so they may if just been having a bad day. I may return with my hubby or something, but not for another event.
S. W.
The food was good and the waiter James was attentive and helpful. The food order came fairly quickly. The calamari starter was tasty, but would have been better with slightly less batter. The carbonara was delicious, but next time, I'll ask for no leek. I couldn't fault the service and they accept the Gourmet Society card which gives 25% discount. I will go back.
A. I.
On Monday I took advantage of £10 offer. Ordered pizza with prawns no chillis and glass of Prosecco. Food was delicious. Service from Nadia was excellent. Very good value for money.
m. L.
Great atmosphere great food
N. S.
We visited last night and We had a wonderful evening! The Mozzarella Carroza was lovely and the smells and flavours of the food there were so Mediterranean it reminded Me of being on holiday. The wine was lovely and the Passion Fruit Martini 😍 the service was friendly and fast considering they had a full restaurant and a group of people celebrating a birthday, they took it all in their stride and was very friendly. We are definitely going to return, We had an amazing time. Thanks Bella Italia New Street team.
S. M.
Me and my boyfriend went for valentines dinner on the Saturday and it wasn’t too busy. However, we had to sit ourselves down and wasn’t shown to any specific table. Then waiting about 15 minutes just to be asked about what drinks we wanted. Another 15 minutes later and we finally got them. We really did enjoy the food but the service is absolutely appalling. It took 30 minutes to just get the bill at the end that we asked for multiple times. They forgot the chips but other then that, the food was really good and nice for the value of money.
J. H.
One of my favourites always a lovely atmosphere and busy
T. M.
Our meal tasted lovely, I had sea bass fillet in a tasty mushroom sauce with small roast potatoes. We have come to expect good food from this Bella Italia and their service is always at a good standard. Something I really liked about the service was that we wanted to space our three course meal out somewhat and our waiter was charming and happy for us to take our time even though they were very busy. Most impressed.
S. O.
My latest visit was quite unpleasant. I have a nut allergy and they had recently changed the menu slightly so the staff and the system were still working from the old menu, be careful if you have any severe allergies.
Also if you aren't "dressed to impress", the staff are rather abrupt. My sister and I weren't even offered the dessert menu, they gave us the bill immediately after we finished our mains.
L. W.
Just had breakfast in Bella Italia and was pleased with the meal. Had standard breakfast with fried potatoes as an extra. I also had a delicious orange juice that had a nice tartness. I dislike juice that is too sweet. The best part of the meal was the service. The young man that served me was called Jay and I would give him top marks.he knows how to make you feel welcome.
R. H.
We ate during lunchtime, which is a really busy time, but we managed to get a seat within a minute of entering the establishment. The waitress seemed harassed during this time, but we had put it down to the busy period. As the crowds died down, she seemed much more settled. We ordered our food and waited a little while due to the time of day. Once the food came out it was absolutely fantastic and we ate it in record time. Our sharing pudding was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and managed to get a 40% discount for the next time we go! Thank you very much.

We visited bella today for lunch, the food was very tasty.and atmosphere were great . definitely I will recommend.
D. K.
Really enjoyed my visit to Bella Italian this afternoon. Received warm welcome. Food didn’t take long to arrive and was well presented/cooked. Excellent deals on the menu with vouchers. Staff here work hard big mention to Cully valued member of Staff.
E. S.
We have been coming to this particular branch for at least 10 years. Team and management just amazing, friendly and always looking after us. Food has been always good and they have always plenty of offers to make it more attractive. Highly recommend!

Visited months ago but the service could not be faulted. My grandad took a turn for the worse when we were waiting for our food and the staff could not have been better.
Managed to get the chef's to cook our food ASAP and we took it home in to go boxes.
Food was fairly bland and quite average to be honest. But food was on point.
J. S.
Friendly helpful staff. Good quality and tasty food. Will definitely call again
D. B.
Waited a while to be seated despite having a reservation. Got seated and orders taken. Starters weren't too long after which was a good sign and then after that the food arrived. The staff seemed mixed.. Some seemed to be in a mood or huffing at other members but the girl who served us seemed to be nice enough. Guess with these places it depends on time and day when you go.
G. m.
Lovely good food .staff where fantastic
But was not cheap tho x
k. m.
We explained to our waiter that our train was delayed and we didn’t have a lot of time before we had to be at the theatre. Our waiter put us at our ease and told us that he will make sure we would be fed and watered and have plenty of time to get to the theatre. He explained to us which menu items would be quick to cook and even chose my wife’s dish. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy he managed to get our food to us in 8 minutes!! The food was delicious and the service was second to non. We made it to the show was enough time for a G&T :-) thank u for the great food and service we will see you again soon

What a treat! I took my daughter for lunch to your Birmingham BellA italia on 23 rd September. We were welcomed by lovely lady, who explained all new procedures in regards of Covid , also showed us sanitising stations and explained about disposable menus. She made us feel welcomed but most importantly safe, she was wearing mask and sanitising her hands though our meal. We saw her sanitising tables and chairs , also doors and chip and pin devices. We opted for your set menu 3 course meal for £15.99, and what a great choice ! Food was delicious ! Certainly great value for money. Lady’s name, who served us I believe Was Nadia . Very polite, professional and attentive! Hope to come back very soon.
M. W.
Great food as always. I had oven baked chicken with pasta, bacon, peppers and cheese sauce. Got a table even though we hadn't booked during the Xmas market. Service was good even though the order was taken first from the couple who arrived after us.
J. C.
Love it here, one of my favourite places to eat when I'm in Birmingham. Staff are very friendly, amazing atmosphere and does not disappoint. Meals are a good portion and very tasty.
Would highly recommend.
J. H.
Eaten here before. Quite often. At the start a positive experience. Then no waitress and our 3 tables were ignored, the manageress didn't even pick up the issue when I told her we'd asked 2 other staff where our main course was. Then they weren't aware of our wait to a) get the sweet menu and b) order them. We paid didn't get an apology! Needless to say they didn't get an tip.
E. O.
Wonderful food and drinks! I really enjoyed this restaurant! The server was very nice. The negatives: they forgot our order so we waited a long time. I guess the waiter switched sections and forgot to give the new waitress our order. They also never brought a dessert menu and because it was a little chaotic, it was difficult to ask our server questions.
j. k.
Friendly staff and tasty food. Had a good time in there🙂
T. S.
1st time visit and would definitely return
S. D.
Lovely place. Went here with some special friends. Beautiful food. Waitress was lovely... friendly and very helpful. However kitchen was due to have a deep clean that evening (13th January) and we were rushed through our meal. Seems it was the kitchen staff not the waitress. Disappointing.
N. D.
We haven't been to this restaurant for many years and were pleasantly surprised. The food and wine were excellent. My son particularly liked the dough balls to start. Service was also very good once we were seated
Would happily recommend.
L. M.
Great food and service and great value for money
J. W.
I popped into Bella Italia with my son today for lunch. Food was great. Our waiter was so lovely, attentive and helpful. The place has a lovely atmosphere and the lunch time menu is very reasonably priced. I saw people with vouchers but we'd gone in spontaneously so didn't have one. Will look out next time. Thanks for a lovely lunch. Jane and Matthew. XX
S. B.
Really lovely atmosphere and beautiful food. Never disappointed.
T. G.
We had lunch here. The food was delicious and we both enjoyed our meal. They serve innovative mocktails which are a change from the usual soft drinks that restaurants serve. The service was friendly and reasonably prompt. I look forward to my next visit to Bella Italia
d. H.
Great service...Great food ...Great decor and surroundings
J. W.
Service was good & attentive, though the food a bit disappointing the king prawn starter was fine but main course of chicken in mushroom sauce & little roast potatoes seemed as though prepared hours before & just warmed up, not hot & freshly cooked. Side salad just thrown into a dish & limp unexciting. House wine was fine. It was my first visit for several years, and both menu choice and food did not seem anything like as good as I remember. Maybe I was just unlucky this last visit.
C. K.
Was about a year ago when i visited this restaurant. But i had some amazing service and the food was really nice. I had pasta and my friend had a Pizza, both of which were really nice and well worth the money. There was a bit of a wait but it was well worth it and it was a very busy Saturday.
The staff were really good and very helpful coming round once you have the meal and offering cheese and sauces and then checking in with us once more later. Good service.
x. x. x. A.
Food was nice enough was a bonus I could use my Taste card so got 2 for 1
N. C.
Really great food. The service was fast as anywhere, despite it being incredibly busy with the theatre rush.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Have no real complaints. Seen a lot of comments about the cleanliness and personally had no issue with this? The atmosphere seems cosy too
G. P.
There is no other place we go when in Birmingham. They seated us immediately. Food excellent. Provided drawing pens and paper for the children. Place is clean. 1 problem. Because is so busy you struggle to get the waiter attention for anything. Overall: I would recommend
A. X.
Mediocre at best. Lack of seasoning, no pine nuts in my risotto even tho the menu said pine nuts. Lots of thyme stalks in my food which hadn't been removed. Can make much better food myself at home.
E. P.
Took my 5 year old daughter and my 6 year old son who has autism. The waiter was fantastically friendly and so was the waitress even when my son accidentally knocked a glass over. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. I had the spiralised veggies with bolognese and it was delicious. My kids also both ate new things which is a miracle! Great restaurant and a lovely atmosphere, we went at about 3pm during the week. Can't fault a thing
S. S.
I rarely visit chain restaurants but I was truly impressed with the cooked breakfast which really was first rate. Accompanied by a lovely hot chocolate (I.e. real chocolate not just sugary rubbish) it made for a perfect start to my holiday. Excellent service from Yuri the manager. I would definitely recommend it.
P. R.
We are a group of ladies who meet once a month to catch up and sometimes there is an awful lot to catch up on. We chose Bella Italia as we never felt rushed the service good and the food usual very good although have had return food which was cold.
However on our lastest meeting 15/7/2017 no sooner had we sat down we were asked if we required drinks which we ordered no sooner they arrived she wanted to take our order to which we were not ready and asked if we could have some time.
After taking order the starters arrived and as soon as that was cleared the main meal arrived seemed as if we were been rushed.
As soon as that was cleared she kept asking us if we would like dessert or coffee to which asked if we asked if we could have time as we had still a couple of bottles of wine to drink.
She came back a few times to the same reply and then she came across and said that she wanted us to be aware that the table we were on had been reserved for 4pm.
We ordered dessert and later coffee, as soon as the coffee was on the table she brought us the bill which did not ask for and she kept hovering which was not very pleasant been rushed to drink coffee finish wine and pay the bill!!!! And may I remind Bella Italia our bill was not a pittance.
The restaurant was not full buy any means the tables next to ours which were the same were empty and set out and NO reservations on them so why!!!
In all, not a very nice experience.
We are however going to give Bella Italia another go next month but if we have the same reaction again that will be our final visit which is a great shame.
I do wonder if Bella Italia will reply with their comments.
C. E.
My food was very tasty, especially the strawberry pannacotta. The service was a bit slow but that's what you get for going on a Sunday afternoon on a bank holiday weekend I guess. That being said we were still very well looked after
R. C.
Very busy but great staff
D. H.
Nice place and the food was amazing
R. S.
Although booked a table and made order for food quickly, still had a wait over 1 hour,l to have food then some of the order was incorrect but was soon sorted out. Food was lovely as usual. Toilets very small. Drink prices were more expensive than expected. Staff too busy to talk other than taking order and money.
A. B.
Great place for light lunch while in Birmingham centre for shopping
5.
No reservation just walked in on a Sunday lunchtime on Father's Day. Taken to table immediately. Dough balls to start, Marco Polo duck with pasta and a sweet. All served in timely fashion and very friendly and attentive service. Will return!!
M. M.
Went in for lunch for shared vegan pizza, toppings for the pizza expensive, no prices on the vegan menu, olives ordered but not brought to table, had to ask, no pepper offered for our pizza. Overpriced pizza considering it was vegan, £5.00 for a small red house wine. Toilets dirty. Disappointed Bella Italia used to be my my favourite Italian restaurant. Think they need to do lunchtime offers, if there were any we wasn't told about them. Don't think I'll be going again 🙁
D. B.
We have just had a meal for 4 using Tesco vouchers, 2 steaks and 2 Grande child meals. Service was really quick, everything was superb, definately will be coming back. Big thanks to the lady waitress, Justinna, who served us.
J. K.
So, it’s lunchtime on a working day in Birmingham. We’re only a short stop from a number of restaurants but we need to eat and run, and fast food is what we need, but not THAT type of fastfood.
The Bella Italia was clean, well serviced by staff and we were immediately seated. It is a tiny. It cramped but not enough to be disturbed by others’ conversations.
We ordered within 4 mins and had our drink and food within 13 minutes. That was quick! Normally I’d worry, but the food and plate were piping hot (and we were warned about the heat). I had the Lasagne and it wasn’t a deep dish but it was wide and more than enough for even a famished adult male.
After finishing the meal we were able to clear the bill and leave with 15 minutes to spare before the hour was up.
The food was really good, the service was exactly what we needed, and we still didn’t have to suffer the “fastfood” mentality.
Thanks
Jason

As chains go, this is a gem. Currently it has a part of the German Christmas market outside, which either adds Christmas sparkle or chaos depending how you look at it. Our food was great, the drinks Ok, I ordered the gin and tonic, seemed to be more ice than anything else, but our service great. The NHS blue card discount of 25% off the total bill was a big incentive to pop in.
M. M.
Nice staff & atmosphere. Good portions and fresh food. Could have been tastier for that price. The chicken with mushroom sauce tasted worse than the one I make at home. Chicken grilled and bitter where burnt.
J. H.
This is a lovely place to eat, I felt very comfortable with the traditional trattoria/ bistro interior and the staff are very friendly and efficient. There is a varied and interesting menu, I had the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection and accompanied by green beans and a lovely herb potato mash; I shall definitely be eating there again.
A. M.
Only ordered a breakfast for my son and some drinks, but food was good and the staff were friendly and welcoming. In comparison to other Bella Italian venues I have had the misfortune to visit, this particular venue was fine and got a 5 star as there is nothing I could say in a negative way.
I. C.
Always found a very warm welcome here, with a great team and wonderful food. Really looking forward to coming back again as soon as we can.
M. B.
Most times it seems that almost all seats are taken, but they also serve good Italian food at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately they do not take reservations, so especially if you are a group of people, it can take time to get a free table, and sometimes you sit very close. But as said the food is good and affordable, so it is worth to wait a while to get served.
O. F.
Made the food much better when the sever clearly loves doing what he does thanks kully :)
N. b.
Waiter was very friendly nice to sit outside portions size little small . As I went into ask were the toilet was a lady behind the bar area asked are you a customer. Bit of a cheek after i spent £ 45 there .
L. B.
Fantastic place to eat, the waitress we had that served us was amazing and nothing was to much for her to do even if it was just my child being a pain, she brought crayons and a colour sheet for him to do while he waited for his food and even spoke tk him through his meal to make sure it was ok and even put his brownie in a box for him before he even asked because she knew he was full from his meal because of how he was. The whole place was lovely, would happily return.
M. C.
Top quality lasagne and pizza. Fully recommend!
A. D.
Bella Italia offers a wide range of dishes, for all. They offer both vegetarian and vegan dishes and also a wide range of meat dishes. Hands down one of the cheapest Italian restaurants around. The staff are lovely and always willing to help with anything. The decor is beautiful and it just ends up being a really nice meal.
I ordered the margarita pizza and it was really nice, although it is rather difficult to cut it as you only get a knife and fork 😂 no bother. 10/10
S. W.
Food was nice. Fairly long wait and had to have food remade as it was missing half of what it said on the menu. This was fixed quickly though and in the end was really nice. Nice staff as well.
J. E.
Brilliant staff, great food, nice environment. Ended up staying for hours spending our whole evening there. No idea why people have been giving even slightly negative reviews. Best restaurant experience we've had in a while.
j. F.
Lovely breakfast excellent service
r. s.
Nice Italian Restaurant which lighter bites and full range of Italian food. Tiramisu is excellent good portions. Food price not too bad but found wine by the glass a bit on the expensive side.
C. P.
Have enjoyed good service and food here on previous occasions. However, yesterday the service was very slow.. and when the good eventually arrived it was quite insipid!! Had to request additional cream sauce to moisten the dry pasta dish. Awful...
S. L.
Great service and tasty food. I recommended the Cod on Pollenta mash. A lovely yummy light lunch. They also did a gorgeous dairy and gluten free pud. Fantastic for us Allergy sufferers 😀
S. C.
Great food and great service 👍
s. y.
my husband and I visited this restaurant tonight. food are truly amazing especially the gamberoni spaghetti. the prawns are fresh and juicy. I am not a fan of spicy food but I managed to finish the whole plate of it as it tastes so good :) my husband ordered another plate after we finished the whole meal for his lunch tomorrow haha :D
the service was excellent. there was a beautiful young lady Justyna who was extremely patience and friendly. she kept up her smile all the time when she serves us even though it was so busy when we were there. we experienced some other server showing terrible attitude when the restaurant gets busy, but in this Bella Italia, we literally did not received any unwelcoming or upsetting attitude at all :D Everyone who works there were like Justyna, having a big beautiful smile on the face. This is an amazing dining experience - causal but indeed very warm! Thank you so much Bella Italia crew especially Justyna, you guys completes our wonderful night! :)
S. B.
Very nice staff, friendly Service, Tasty Food. Lots of space.
Y. F.
Food is normally nice but problem is with the seating. Tables are cramped together & to make matters worse as evening progresses they seat everyone in one section of the restaurant. You can forget about having a private conversation with the next table at elbow rubbing distance.
M. S.
Not such a nice experience here. It was very loud and the food was okay, but not the best. The vegan cookie dough was really nice, though :) But they ran out of ice cream.
S. D.
Lovely food, always hot and staff are friendly. I did feel a little akward when i was asked whether i wanted to pay a service charge but i felt that it should be my descision whether i wanted to add a tip. Overall lovely resturant.
B.
The service from our waitress was wonderful (small lady with long dark hair). But the food was average for the price we pay, nothing special, could make at home half the price cheaper. Dissapointing. On the other hand, dessert was good.
K. M.
Large chain Italian themed restaurant with friendly staff, the restaurant was clean and tidy, even though it was a very busy Saturday night service. The only issue holding it back from 4 stars was a slightly long wait to order, hopefully on my next visit I will be able to add the extra star.
B. N.
As always. This place has become very special to us. We com here alot, the staff a very friendly and intentive. Have a very useful allergy book which is very helpful. Food is excellent and the service is second to none even when super busy x
E. J.
The food and service was 5 stars
p.
The staff were so amazing! They were freindly and kind! Use an unlimited card to get 25% off the bill. Only reson why 4 stars is because the food took 40 mins to cook and be served!
J. H.
They have all sorts of discount vouchers available for everyone to claim on the website, so I'd recommend taking a glance there before your visit. Otherwise, very nice place if you are into Italian food. But, please, don't go only for pizza every time - they have such a nice choice of pastas and risotto and all sorts of other delicious things. When all of my friends ordered something non-pizza, I realised how much I've lost.
g. d.
Waitress was excellent. Busy serving other tables as it was quite full but nothing was too much trouble. Food was amazing. Highly recommend
E. H.
We visit this restaurant regularly as it is one of the few places in Birmingham that offers an extensive gluten-free menu including pasta, garlic bread and desserts. You do need to specify when you order that you require the GF version as they offer both. The restaurant always has a lively atmosphere and the staff are attentive and helpful.
A. R.
Bella Italy was very very good food and staff
A. W.
Nice food, friendly staff, service was a bit slow but expected on a busy night. Plenty of offers around that can make the price even better.
C. S.
Very busy. A bit disappointing. Booked for 5.30pm and did not get starter until 6.30 pm. Had to remind them about our drinks! Food was okay for Bella Italia. Obviously kitchen could not cope....won't go back at that time again !!
C. T.
Good food and drink and great service
S.
I had the £5 breakfast and asked that my eggs were not runny but the chef overcooked them so they were a bit burnt round the eggs. Also lots of oil on the plate and bread was cold so could not melt the butter. You get what you pay for. Wont be going back!
T. S.
Food was ok. Wine was not chilled, felt overcrowded
J. W.
Nice food & good service.
S. B.
Very disappointed we couldn't use our tesco vouchers because the German market was on!!! Lesson learned, always read the small print. The Manager spoke very rudely to his staff too!!
G. M.
Food was lovely and the staff very nice. Looked a bit tatty inside byt cannot complain about the food.
A. P.
Was nice, used a Groupon voucher. Service was a little slow for how quiet they were though and the waiter that served us sat down at the empty table next to us while taking our order. We noticed he did this with all tables which was different
M. C.
Visited Bella Italia in Birmingham on 2nd May with work colleagues, 7 of us in total. Food was excellent, service was excellent and the price was even better as we had signed for offers. Would definitely recommend.
A. P.
Not usually one for chains but Bella caters for gluten free and gives me the peace of mind that wont make me ill. The menu is e extensive and they are always doing deals and vouchers too!
V. R.
Nice Italian restaurant with great atmosphere. There are a lot of offers that you can enjoy like 40% off the all mains so be sure to check the promotions on their website before you go. I would definitely recommend the calzone and mudroom risotto.
J. P.
Really enjoyed our visit. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was lovely and was hot. Was seated in a booth which l liked as l prefer the soft seating when eating and socialing.
D. C.
Grilled chicken n chips was ok but overpriced at nearly £14. Pizza looked good. Drinks expensive. Restaurant look clean n fairly tidy.Staff were very friendly and accomodating.
T.
Staff are very polite, sevice is extra slow waited over 30mins to bring out food.
Once they establish the speed of the service, in here, it will be very good.
Food was nice overall service was poor. Won't be eaten there again.
E. M.
Delicious food (Gluten Free pizza). Friendly staff. Brilliant atmosphere. Exceeded expectations.
A. C.
As always nice food and staff

Great all round service never had a problem here quick service and hot food delivered to the table excellent place
I. R.
Good food for good price. Took about 1h30 since we ordered until we received our food. I'm not sure if we were unluky or if the restaurant is always this slow to serve the food. Not a very good experience.
S. B.
Lovey staff, delicious food
K. W.
The food is good and the service is nice. Only thing is that if you late for your appointment even for less than 5 minutes, as in my case, the booking would be cancelled and have to come by in an hour or so.
K. J.
Went on valentine's night, pre-booked. Services was fantastic, our waiter was friendly and the food was great until my chicken came burnt. Other than that a great experience
S. E.
Food excellent as usual. Only downside was that staff did not return discount card and when asked about admitted thrown away. However did give discount vouchers for use June and July
J. B.
Very good service and food. The place had a welcoming ambience and was clean. There was a good food choice available on the menu and portion size was generous. All in all, good value for money.
I. M. G.
Good for what it offers but I have been to cleaner and better venues and had better service. Practical for food needs. Staff are there but they don't appear to enjoy the job.
S.
it's a meh. slow service though
C. J.
Good food, lovely atmosphere but it took around 20-30 minutes to get the bill after saying no the the dessert menu.
T. F.
Very good, if not a tad expensive for what was served although service was good our order for 4 people came out in dribs and drabs and sides arrived when we finished mains.
S. w.
amazing! food was excellent and all served promptly.
A. B.
Bright and busy restaurant right in the centre of Birmingham. Very good location for pre- concert meal close to the Town Hall. Usually a short wait time for a table but the staff do their best to seat everyone as soon as possible. Staff efficient and not over-friendly with a good selection of dishes and portion sizes to choose from. Can recommend the Marco Polo pasta dish with duck, mushrooms and spring onions with a sweet glaze sauce. The Sicilian cocktail of Prosecco, Limoncello and Mint arrived with no mint just a sad snippet of Rosemary - a little disappointing but nonetheless it was OK. The Limoncello gelato was very good. Allow plenty of time if you are attending any concerts in the city centre. NOTE that Bella Italia are not accepting any promotional codes or vouchers while the German Christmas Market is operating in the centre. Several tables around us were disappointed when they came to pay and their discounts were refused.
M. P.
Meerkat meals gave 2 for 1 on meals AND free prosecco. Delicious food. Service was friendly, but slightly understaffed, causing big waits.
T. J.
Good food. A little rushed though it was busy post work time. Great if you can get a discount, though worth paying full price for.
M. S.
Anonymous reviewers with extreme statements along the lines of "the worst meal I ever had' have to be suspected of having an ulterior motive and/or simply being vindictive. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal last night - good, friendly service, efficient delivery, nice food and a fabulous, buzzing early evening atmosphere in a prime location! Good stuff and a great price with their 25% discount voucher. Any restaurant that offers a serious gluten free range of meals would automatically get my vote but Bella Italia deserves it. Never had a bad meal in any of their restaurants. Thanks.
M. O.
Got a table even though the restaurant was very busy (Saturday afternoon) and was taken care of very well. Enjoyed our food very well and will for certain return in the future.
D. C.

Had to wait a long time to get served after initially being seated. Food was nice, and kids menu was very good value.
h. k.
It was alright. The price is unreasonably high...
M. P.
Food took a little while but when it arrived it was hot, well presented and very tasty. I was dining on my own and the service was very God without being too intrusive.
G. T.
Very good food, all the staff were fantastic all safety protocols were advised on entry.
D. J. H.
A fantastic place to eat Italian foof
S. I.
Food was good; staff friendly gave great service.
P. G.
Very nice meal. Service could have been better, but I guess they were a bit busy with the German Market outside bringing lots of customers in!
C. A.
Food was alright but slow service. We wait about 15 minutes to pay the bill. At the end I ask somebody else to take the payment because I couldn't find our waiter.

Great restaurant. Lovely food and great service. Would recommend booking table in advance. Very busy weekend.
E. F.
I loved it ,the staff were very friendly and the food was good even though it was very busy they managed to keep everything under control.Also we only had a short wait for the food Finally if you are going with children it is very family friendly.

Nice Italian restaurant, food is ok and not to pricey. No reservation needed on a Saturday night which makes it even better. Friendly staff as well
K. M.
I have nothing but great things to say about my evening at this newly updated and refurbished Bella Italia. Great food, great servers, great management, great location, great selection of dishes shared, etc etc etc! I was able to enjoy numerous dishes with a wonderful group of friends, and I am happy to be able to let all of my family and yelp friends know that the new Bella is very tasty and I highly recommend it.
The "new" Bella Italia chains are now working from a large chunk of 100 million pounds, so their updated menu, style, and imports directly from Italy are wonderful addition, and really have to be on point in order to sustain this "all day Italian" lifestyle customer base. The restaurants are now open for breakfast as well as lunch! (I wonder what Italians eat for breakfast!?)
I was able to sample everything from the pizzas, ravioli, shared platters, and vegetable spirals bolognese, to different flavoured gelatos imported directly from Italy, and a delicious glass of prosecco. Overall my enjoyment of the evening and everything it had to offer was excellent. I am hoping to be able to visit another Bella Italia to explore their breakfast and lunch options.
T. W.
Lovely restaurant lovely food went to visit the christmas market and called in for lunch had a couple of cheeky prosecco's and our main meals have posted the pictures lovely waitress but I know it was busy so waited about 45 minutes for the food to arrive but was worth it.
S. L.
Lovely place and food but very busy so a long wait for food. Good service though. Toilets needed a good clean though as floor was a little flooded
M. W.
Been here many times before, this time round it was a little disappointing, soup warm, lasagne dry and some edges burnt while not perfect and believe it or not it was minus 1 outside and we were being annoyed by a fly around our table we didn't complaine we just wanted to get home into the warm after a long day
D. S.
Great food, but not enough staff for the amount of people in the restaurant. The staff that were in worked really hard, but this meant time between courses was over long.
A. W.
Always love Bella italia. Food great and tasty good deals for lunch up to 5.00pm with good choice. Fast delivery and staff very friendly. Ambience very relaxing.
A. M.
Food very good , the waiter who served us absolutely fantastic, the only negative was the waiting time @35 minutes (one the other side was busy too)for 2 pizza and one pasta carbonara
C. J.
Lovely food and great friendly staff
C. W.
Nice pizza, good central location, friendly staff. Convenient for a lunch break meal when you're working near the centre. Can get pretty busy though.
S. M.
Our waiter was very helpful and apologised for delays that were due to the restaurant being busy so unavoidable. Very professional service and excellent food.
A. H.
Food was fantastic. Too busy and service was very slow.

Very nice welcome after been badly let down at Jamie Olivers restaurant. Food was excellent and well priced. Very friendly staff who knew the menu well and was genuinely enthusiastic about their food.

Food was lovely and service was initially good. Took a long time to get the attention of staff to ask for the bill though.

Good food and very friendly service from Kully. I very much enjoyed my evening at this restaurant not too expensive, nice people and lovely food. I would rate this as one of the best restaurants in Birmingham city centre.

Food was nice. Friendly staff. They are not accepting any voucher codes due to the German market being on in the town centre.

Understaffed and average quality food. Not worth the prices paid when there are similar restaurants with higher standards available in the area for the same price.

Good food and nice place to have lunch and dinner with your partner or your friends. However some of the staff are not what I was expecting.

Had a really nice, and reasonably priced, what I can only describe as a garlic bread pizza here. Really very good. Service was particularly good.

Great food with even better service. The portions are big (I had the lasagne) and their virgin cocktails are tasty

Great food but slightly cold when it arrived. Unfortunately not enough staff but very nice service

Not the best Bella Italia I've visited but still a good one if you're around Birmingham. Food arrived promptly and was hot and the staff were helpful too
B. T.
Staff and service was excellent. Main meal and desert was a bizmol, though. Still a good and nice spot.

Find was nice. Service a bit slow, we had to wait nearly 20 minutes to get the beer we ordered
D. U.
Lovely food, lovely staff. Quick service, good price

Went in for lunch for shared vegan pizza, toppings for the pizza expensive, no prices on the vegan menu, olives ordered but not brought to table, had to ask, no pepper offered for our pizza. Overpriced pizza considering it was vegan, £5.00 …

Only ordered a breakfast for my son and some drinks, but food was good and the staff were friendly and welcoming. In comparison to other Bella Italian venues I have had the misfortune to visit, this particular venue was fine and got a 5 star as there is nothing I could say in a negative way.

Fantastic meal. Good prices. Lovely staff. Will use again.
