Bella e Buona Italian Restaurant in Blaenau Gwent

Hidden Gem 💎 Booked table for a Monday. From the outside the window details hide much of this very tastefully decorated Italian restaurant including a beautiful Italian landscape painting. Calm music playing in the background made for a relaxing atmosphere and enjoyed the ambience 100%. Service was great. Great choices on the menus. The calzone was very large but extremely tasty with a thin dough which made the dish easy to finish with a fresh side salad in a dressing. Loved the taste of the dough even compared to another leading Italian restaurant I favour. Toilets are spotless. Highly recommend and no doubt wi be back ❤️

amazing food, had such a kind waiter that made sure we had everything we needed, 10/10 would highly recommend.

This is the place if you want to get a sensational meal, if you want to enjoy a good quality italian music and if you want to be very well served. Deserve 7 stars! Always here when me and my granddaughter want an exceptional pizza. ❤️

Our Anniversary over the August bank Holiday and have been wanting to visit this restaurant since it opened. Booking online was easy, with reminders sent near the time of visit. Arrived at 7pm on a Tuesday and surprised how busy it was, so definitely worth booking the table. We were glad it was busy as it's a sign of a good place to eat. The service was excellent, even though it was busy, and we had given our drinks order which arrived quickly. Our food order was taken and we were eating within 15 minutes. The food was delicious. I had a pizza and my hubby had pasta. Dessert was heaven too. I can recommend the lemon cheesecake. We are definitely going again soon to try other dishes. Our only let down was that when you search online for dog friendly restaurants, this one appears. You can take your dog, but you have to sit outside. Guide dogs are allowed. If you can't take dogs inside a restaurant, you shouldn't advertise being dog friendly. Most dog owners would be disappointed if they took their dog and were not allowed inside.

We dined here yesterday and had a good welcome with amazing food. Both main chicken meals were delicious and the service was quick and friendly. The home made cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had. It was scrumptious and a generous portion. The ambiance certainly added to the overall experience. We will visit again.

Very welcoming place, nice music and the atmosphere was splendit. The food 😋 Pollo Con Funghi was , splendid, nice presentation and very delicious. I Recommend all who passes by to try it out once, im sure ill be back again 😁

The venue was welcoming and well presented, the service was good, I had muscles for my starter, but it was very tastless. I had to add extra seasoning. I had seabass for my main meal, but the sauce powered the meal, still nice, but maybe next, i would less sauce.. It's still a very nice place and definitely worth a visit..

Stopped here after going to the big pit, and was so goooood. Really great value and setup

We had a lovely warm welcome when we arrived. The food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend this place.

Food was amazing, staff were very friendly and polite!

It was my uncles 95th birthday and we had a party of 6. The service was excellent the food was excellent and atmosphere good. All in all it was a great evening enjoyed by all. Thankyou.

Warm welcome, clean, polite and pleasant staff. The food was excellent. Definitely going to visit again. Overall good experience.

Food was amazing and so was the staff thank you for a lovely experience 😊

Great little Italian restaurant. We ate there twice during our Holiday. Great food and great service. When it's full it can be a little noisy.

This was my first time at this restaurant with my family! We were welcomed by a very friendly professional staff(which unfortunately I can t remember the name,sorry,baby brain here lol). Food was really nice,especially the Fritto misto. Atmosphere was really nice too,very warm with an amazing deco all around that seemed very clean too. Can t wait to go back! Thank you

Lovely restaurant, I've been there many times for lunches and evening meals and it never disappoints. Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely setting.

Lovely food at a reasonable price and great service.

I have eaten here a few times, the staff are outstanding and very accommodating, very friendly as well. The food has always been sensational, this place is a hidden gem, I'm very glad to have come across it. Would highly recommend this wonderful Italian 😊

Great food! It is ver tasty, professional, and well served. I must say I am very pleased with their service. Recomended.

Lovely meal and service was spot on

Always a lovely ambiance, friendly staff and delicious food!

Incredible food this is a hidden jem forget the location being in brynmawr is not the best location but dosnt matter this place is the real thing they know what they’re doing cant wait to go back!!!

Been here many times now and always forget to leave a review, so here it is. This place is 10/10, the food is fresh, tasty and affordable, the staff are always friendly and helpful. This is definitely my favourite restaurant in Blaenau Gwent, to be honest it's my favourite restaurant, period. Would definitely recommend this place to absolutely anyone

Beautiful and good as the name suggests! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food, friendly staff and a good atmosphere

Very nice food, not cheap but you get what you pay for will definitely be going back.

Excellent service, great fresh food. Highly recommend!

We just had the worst meal ever here we have eaten here before which was a famtastic meal, however tonight’s meal was an insult to Italian food. I had creamy garlic mushrooms to start herbs were dry herbs and I mean very dry, toasted bread which had barely been toasted. Then I had lasagne which was basically like a bowl of soup with about a 2 inch square of pasta drowning in cheese. My husband’s chicken was very over cooked. Extremely dissapointed we now Ned to decide do we try them Again or not waste our money. Just goes to show how your experience can be so different depending on who is cooking.

Absolutely stunning food, service was spot on, team were friendly and efficient, best Italian we have visited, woukd 100% recommend

I recently dined at Bella e Buona and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with chic, modern decor that adds a touch of elegance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring our needs were met without being intrusive. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. I ordered the Tagliatelle Con Pollo, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was impeccable. Overall, Bella e Buona exceeded my expectations. The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a top choice for dining out. I will definitely be returning and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Make no mistake, if you like continental/Italian themed cuisine then this is the place to go....simple, authentic bangers on a plate....do it!!!!!!!

Lovely food, friendly staff, smart decor.

Love restaurant nice staff tasty food

Excellent food and friendly attentive staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Lovely atmosphere, staff were helpful and customer service was on point. The food was very good.

Booked in very last minute on a Sunday late afternoon. Food was lovely. Portion sizes are big. The Greek salad was lovely and plentiful. Brought half it home with me and made lunch for work the following day. Service was excellent. Very tentative staff. Can't wait to go back

The food was amazing. The staff were very polite and friendly.

The service and atmosphere is lovely here, the staff are so friendly and food is amazing. Will definitely be returning again

A real hidden gem. Superb food, lovely service. Don’t think about going just do it. Highly recommended!!

Amazing food and service for my mother’s 65th birthday meal. Will definitely be back again!

Absolutely Bella. Will definitely visit again. Thank you

Nice food, friendly staff, clean and tidy.

Excellent food which was piping hot.

The food, the staff and the atmosphere is always amazing in Bella. We’ve been a few times and never ever had a bad meal. It’s always fabulous and piping hot, In Fact I had to give mine a minute or two to let it cool so that I could eat it this evening! Panna cotta and tiramisu for dessert- always a winner. We absolutely love it here and will 110% return. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely fresh italian food and very pleasant staff. Brilliant to see such a lovely little restaurant in our local area and I hope you continue to be successful here.

Beautiful birthday celebration, very sweet and attentive staff, yummy delicious food and overall a great atmosphere! Loved every bit of it and will be back soon ♡ grazie mille!

Food was awful. I was served the most pathetic calzone in the history of Italian food. It way basically a bag of air. The pepperoni had all fell in to a clump at the bottom. You had to cut half the calzone to find it. It pretty much has no sauce and no flavor.Friendly server replaced it. I requested an ordinary pepperoni pizza instead. Pizza was 'edible'. Literally on par with a frozen £1 pizza from Iceland. The garlic bread was also horrid. Hard as a cracker and dry. Chips weren't cooked well. Not fluffy inside and a bit chewy. Not worth a quid defintely not 5 quid. Mozzarella balls were bland and so was the sauce they arrived with. The food here is pretty much on par with a bad wetherspoons. 👎. No.wonder it's mostly empty. Avoid. Belle e bad.

Lovely, unexpectedly good Italian restaurant. Great service, brilliant food, and a nice atmosphere. Good value, and fitted us in on a busy Saturday.

Lovely meal. We didn’t have to wait long even though they were very busy. Tasty food and buzzing atmosphere.

Always lovely food and service. Little local gem ❤️

Lovely.meal. Group of 24 of us for an evening meal. Great service. Nothing was too much trouble. 100% reconnend.

The salmon risotto had very little salmon the chicken with mushrooms very bland would not go again

Was so pleased to find a great restaurant in the area. They managed to fit us in as a walk in table. The decor is great, it has a really upmarket feel to it and the staff were really friendly. The food was fantastic and service was prompt and friendly. The kids ordered pizzas, which were larger than I expected, but were so good, my normally fussy eaters demolished the lot. I had tagliatelle with chicken and mushrooms and it was delicious. Reasonably priced for the quality of the experience. Was a rainy Tuesday night and the place was filling up by the time we left at 1830, am not surprised. Will be making regular family trips back.

Beautiful dinner , piping hot very tasty . Good value

Fantastic food and great service

Everything was perfect, professional service with great staff…a little gem hidden in the Welsh valleys. I’ll be booking again, would definitely recommend. Thank you

I absolutely loved the pizza 🍕, the tiramisu was as good also, the atmosphere and the staff were amazing. I would definitely be back and recommend it Friendly & amazing service and i gotta say big up to the chef's 👨‍🍳

This is my first visit here, staff were polite and friendly. Service was very quick, drinks arrived straight away, then the starter arrived about 3 minutes after it was ordered, and when I had completed my starter my main meal arrived in about 6 minutes. After I ordered my dessert that arrived very promptly also. So well done on promptness. Food was presented well. With what should be hot being hot. Toilets were clean and well presented. With easy access for disabled ones. Although seeing that the area on the site is limited I did notice the ladies toilet door looked narrow. The restaurant has plenty of free parking, and inside the restaurant has a nice clean feel, it did not feel cramped. With music being played in the background I saw others had no issues cheating during their meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it’s lovely to have here in Ebbw Vale.

What a great find. Went there as nowhere else was open on a Sunday evening but will definitely be going back. Great lunch deals too. Has a real family run Italian feel to the place.

Food 10/10 Value 10/10 Service 10/10 A little bit quick between course's but what a cracking little place brill

Lovely food and service couldn't ask for more

Great food , prices are similar to other restaurants for meals , great atmosphere and friendly staff

Amazing food, arrived quickly and the staff are lovely. Complements to the chef. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat my meal was delicious and so nicely presented, friendly staff Brilliant service our meal came out in no time at all ,will definitely be back there for my birthday in Mrach .

We had a very nice meal there on Sunday last. Lots of selection with starters, main and desserts. Also, a large selection of fish to choose from for fish lovers Very polite, personable staff.

A beautiful restaurant with first class food and service. Had a beautiful lunch there today with friends. Highly recommended

Beautiful decor, fantastic service and most importantly beautiful food. An experience that will be repeated!!

Had a wonderful meal/evening. It was my retirement meal with 14 guests and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was excellent with very friendly staff and, though we were the last to leave, they didn't rush us at all and made sure everyone was happy. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Good atmosphere but bad quality food.

Second time coming here. Was lovely food first time around and was even better tonight on new year's eve will definitely be back.

Beautifully decorated with friendly and professional service. The food never disappoints. However on our last visit just before Christmas, we found the background music was too loud.

Bonne cuisine belle décoration tres bon service

Five stars all round, fantastic

Just come back from a meal with my partner, I ordered the T bone steak which was told only came medium which is fine that's how I like it, but sad to say it was under cooked and as tough as old boots, and unable to eat it, told the waitress and she apologised, but not her fault, was disappointed when receiving bill nothing was taken of , sadly will not be going there again for a very long time, disappointed as it's only a short walk away, but how can they charge you for poor food 😞

Wonderful food and lovely friendly staff

I visited last Friday for a work do, lovely atmosphere. I tried something that I hadn't had before, it was absolutely beautiful, I would definitely have it again

Stunning food fantastic service . Will definitely be returning soon 😚

Fabulous scallops , lunch menu very affordable , excellent value for money . Fabulous decor .

We used the Bella e Buona Italian restaurant for the first time this evening and enjoyed a truly delightful meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was very relaxing and comfortable and the food was delicious. The food was great value for money and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends and family. We were so impressed, we have booked our Christmas dinner there.

Amazing I would highly recommend. Would definitely be going back more than once

Very friendly staff and the most delicious food ,very impressed.

Service was welcoming and helpful throughout. Already discussing our next visit. So much choice we want to try all at once and meals very filling and flavorful

Large new building, pleasant inside, plenty of room.

Would definitely recommend this nice Italian restaurant. The staff were very friendly and service was attentive. We visited with our 2 year old son and they were happy to provide a highchair and plastic plate/cutlery. My veggie pizza was well cooked with fresh crisp veg on it. My partner's prawns and pasta were also perfectly cooked and delicious. They have a kids menu and ours demolished a pizza. The decor is modern and well maintained. We booked online and there is free parking outside the restaurant, so very convenient!
