Bella Cosa in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

"Bella Costa – a piece of Italy in the heart of London. I had dinner there with my family, and each of us was absolutely delighted. Pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend visiting!"

If you haven’t tried Bella Cosa yet I highly recommend it. It is truly a hidden gem and offers an intimate dining experience with a refined and sophisticated atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming and immediately made me feel at home as I started the evening with Prosecco and mouthwatering Nocellara olives. The menu at Bella Cosa features wholesome homemade Italian dishes, made with high quality ingredients straight from The Bel Paese. My culinary journey started with a selection of classic antipasti, with a twist: Tartare di gamberi which was fresh and delicate, with a hint of spice and spring onion to enhance the prawn's flavour; Bruschetta, an all time favourite, made with the most fragrant pesto; Caprese con buttata, so fresh milk was still dripping as I cut it. Last but not least, Arancini tartufo e funghi, a crunchy delight. Now for the mains, and I couldn’t resist trying Cacio e Pepe, which was beautifully presented in a Cacio Pecorino wheel as per true Roman tradition (the moment I taste the first mouthful I felt like being back to Rome); this was followed by Tortelloni funghi e tartufi, a real pasta lover's dream - and I’m not even a pasta lover in general - but these really hit the spot, and the freshly shaved truffles elevated the dish to new heights 😃 Last of the mains were perfectly cooked lamb chops beautifully paired with a fragrant mash potato. All washed down with an amazing Italian white. And of course, no Italian meal is complete without tiramisu for dessert. Bella Cosa's version was fresh and delicious, just like mama used to make! 😜 Overall, Bella Cosa is a good competitor for other Italian restaurants in the wharf, offering true original flavours, generous portions and excellent customer service without breaking the bank. A must visit for a romantic soirée or an evening among friends 😃

So disappointed, went there after Facebook recommendation with people saying it was amazing. Terrible service with waiter unable to communicate even talk or acknowledge you’re there. The service was appalling no customer skills or positivity. When the food arrived, the pizza was excellent, the lasagna was average and a very small portion. The chips never arrived at all. The spaghetti carbonara was a glued mess of childlike creation probably microwaved as it was congealed and could actually been picked up on one fork in its entirety. The server kindly removed it from the bill which was the right thing to do was it was barely eaten. The place had potential but need strong management to knock it into shape big time

What a hidden gem in Canary Wharf. We booked in advance to celebrate the first birthday of my son. Excellent comunication with manager Sunil who took care of everything in details and was more than accomodated in order to make everyone happy. Food was unbelievable, big portions for tasteful fresh quality. All my guests got in love with parmigiana and arancini! Bread, pasta, risotto, chicken and tagliatelle exceeded our expectations. Big thank you also to the team working that day, making sure everything got delivered promptly! Playful with the babies, they gave us also a spare table where we could put decoration and cake. Everything was just perfect Definitely need to come back!

The service was worse. When we asked to explain a simple dish the person didn’t explain the dish. Just mentioned it’s Pasta. When we asked for mocktails available, the person was not able to tell about it. Food was ok, but our special lunch went in drain

The service was poor from start to finish. They brought an incorrect main course for me. I waited a long time for them to change it to the correct one, during which time my wife had finished her main course. When they eventually brought mine it was cold - either not warmed properly or had been sat waiting for ages. No apology from the staff for the poor service. Won’t be going back.

Great food, good service at reasonable prices all served by friendly staff. Having previously only ever ordered food to be delivered, I wanted to go in and not surprisingly the visit was worth my while. We had the lamb cutlets which were delicious. Also, highly recommended was the apple slice and ice cream. Go you will not be disappointed and enjoy the view.

My boyfriend and I were looking for an Italian restaurant around canary warf for lunch . we found on google Bella cosa. the restaurant is located on the ground floor overlooking the canal , the super friendly staff , the maid Admina , an Indian girl-moved to London a year ago was super . great service, great vibe is very nice. She followed us all the time so professional and nice. great spot for a lunch or dinner in pairs or other guests. Food good and great portion .

lovely little place with views of the dock. food was amazing as was the service. Asmita (our server) was attentive without being intrusive. nice to have a little banter and playfulness with staff. very enjoyable evening.

A friend and I visited on the 9th March as we love going out for dinner around canary wharf and Greenwich and we love Italian. A few people I know had been before and highly rated it. We both love Italian food and it did not disappoint. The servings sizes were great value for money, the food was super tasty and wine and cocktails were fab. The waitresses were super attentive, both Meher and Teya. Even gave us some suggestions where we were not sure due to the large selection. The sweet potatoe fries were the best I've had (pics does not do it justice) There was also a brilliant selection of vegan mains and starters. The pesto pasta was lovely! Truffle aranchini balls were incredible. I will definitely visit again when in the area 😀

We went here for dinner. The food was very good and the service. The restaurant gave us a free Tiramasu and Panna Cotta which was a very nice touch. The desserts were amazing. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

My favourite Italian restaurant in London, perfect location with a lovely view of the river. Never disappointed by the food, drinks, service or atmosphere. Even been here alone and throughly enjoyed myself. Sunil is so attentive and always accommodating with bookings & Jimmy’s presence in the restaurant is 10/10 - Bella Cosa go above and beyond!

I am afraid there were many dishes unavailable, service wasn't great, and I think prices are high for what we got. Dishes just weren't that tasty. No atmosphere although we ate early. Sorry but need to write this as other reviews are glowing and do not sum up our experience..

It was our second time in Bella Cosa, this time to celebrate my birthday. An amazing experience and exceptional food. All the dishes we ordered were delisious and flavorful. We would certainly eat them again. The place feels really cosy and the view is great. Thank you Sunil for making my day so special especially with the supprise you prepared. You couldn’t organise it better. It was all perfect. We would also like to say Big Thank You to Narcisa for looking after us the whole evening. We will definitely visit Bella Cosa again and recommend this restaurant to our friends.

We have just had an experience of a lifetime. We ate at La Bella cosa. We started out with garlic and cheese bread and arrcani balls, they were delicious. Then we both had pasta and it was truly extraordinary, I have never ever hade such good pasta before The staff was super friendly and paid attention to all the guest all the time. Don't miss this restaurant when you go to London. We would love to go back Thank you Narciss for having us and taking such good care of us

Bella Cosa is great... I loved the food and drinks... Staff very quick and perfect and in special to Narciza that was 5 stars. Will come back more often and recommend !!!

I went with friends who mentioned that it was highly recommended on TikTok due to its quality as well as the availability of halal food which is very hard to come by in London. I want to say that the service was impeccable and we were very much looked after as our every need was met and that is very rare to come by, especially by the young blonde waitress who was very sweet. I just wish I had the same glowing review about the food. In short, it was lacklustre to say the least; thankfully, the starter was very tasty as we got prawns with chilli and garlic and almost wiped the plate clean! The mains (well, at least for me) was disappointing. I had the salmon tagliatelle which simply just had no flavour. I thought adding that adding salt and pepper would make a difference but other than core flavours of the salmon, tomato and pasta itself, there was no discernible flavours of seasoning. Maybe I made a mistake in ordering and that the other mains would’ve suited me better? But all in all, I would recommend this experience but maybe stay away from seafood mains.

We had booked a work dinner during a stay in East London exhibiting at Excel. We had high hopes, looking at TripAdvisor's reviews, and the '££££' price tag. Due to Covid, one of our party had to bow out. We advised the restaurant, through the booking app, that we were one down. On arrival, we received a rather cool reception and were asked where the missing person was. We advised that we had pre-notified the change. There was a sigh and we were taken to our table. The restaurant was a quarter full max so not sure why this was such an issue. The food was very affordable, definitely not '££££' as on TripAdvisor (hoping that doesn't put people off) and, for the money, delicious. The service defrosted as our evening progressed and we came away having enjoyed most of the experience. The photo on TripAdvisor is slightly misleading, in that there were no table cloths on the tables which gave the place a cafe feel rather than a restaurant. 4 stars is generous but the hospitality trade is in dire straits at the moment so want to err on the positive side.

Just home after a wonderful Mother's Day lunch at Bella Cosa! The Pasta's were exceptionally delicious as were the freshly prepared pizza's. I accidentally ordered the wrong pizza and the manager insisted on making me a fresh new one at no extra charge. The views were both beautiful and interesting as a Russian yacht was parked outside the restaurant which was confiscated by the British government the next morning (all 38 millions worth) I would just like to say thank you to all the staff that looked after all 5 of us.

Authentic Italian food. The pizza was huge considering the price we paid for it and the burrata with pesto was to die for. Would definitely recommend. Service was excellent by all the staff especially Jimmy who made sure that we had everything we need.

we walked in to ask if we can get a coffe i and my mum the gentle man simply said yes Madam offer us a seat and introduce us to there breakfast memu he confuse us to have a meal and we didnt get disspointed...

Ahhh where do I start, the food was so good, so full of flavour. Good options available too. Great portion size as well. And that cheesecake was absolutely incredible, would’ve ordered another but was so full. Service was great, very attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant...

Thank you so much to Sunil for looking after us. Narcisa was also great. We do hope to return soon and try other dishes.

Meal was alright . The waitress was so rude, desserts are over priced. I was charged £25 for service charger however the waitress didn’t speak to us once, didn’t even ask us if the food was nice!

Last minute booking and it has gone above our expectations. Narcisa, the manager, she went above and beyond to provide exceptional service for us tonight. Food really tasty, good selection of wines, delicious desserts!!! Tiramisu is a must!

I’ve been absolutely blown away by the amazing service I received by Sunil and his team at Bella Cosa for my husbands 30th birthday yesterday. I can hands down say that this was one of the best bespoke services I have received at a restaurant....

The food was delicious but I didn't feel very welcomed and the venue was quite cold, so a mixed experience overall.

visited for my friends birthday, the food was amazing and the staff very friendly. Thanks to Jimmy especially for making my friends birthday special.

We chose this place for a business dinner and the place was spot on. Even though there was no private dining room, the group had the privacy they needed. The food was really good and service outstanding.

After long searches, finally found the best italian restaurant in London with the perfect location. I couldn't want more for my birthday. Narcisa the waitress, brought me a wonderful cheescake with a candel and she sang happy birthday. Very good service and food.

Visited Bella cosa for a meal with my husband. The service, food and ambience was excellent, staff were amazing especially the waiter Richard. Complements to the chef as he delivered excellent quality food, highly would recommend.

The restaurant is well-kept and adheres to the highest standards of cleaning. The staff is also friendly and always available to assist. The real gem of Bella Cosa is the most delicious Italian food. They use fresh good quality ingredients. I highly recommend the pizza....

Food was out quick, garlic bread starter is a must! The staff couldn’t be nicer, organised a free taxi to the restaurant and brought out a free dessert for my partners meal. Very nice views over the water in Canary Wharf, must visit.

Excellent food, good prices and very good service, particularly from the waiter Jimmy. Will definitely be returning!
