Bella Italia in Bristol, City of

We always eat here before the Theatre. Fabulous food and today Charlie was our waitress and was really helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Well done Charlie ⭐️.

Casey was absolutely lovely and very sweet, 10/10 and the food came quick and hot. Her coworkers were all very attentive too, no faults at all

Great food and staff really friendly

Home from a truly excellent meal at Baldwin St. My wife had the sea bass ..I had a superb Chicken milanese with spaghetti..we both had Tiramisu for sweet great food & great service.... ..definitely be going back

charlie was very friendly and quick to help us whenever we needed :) very impressed tonight

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, would recommend

Kris has helped plan our family meal after my father’s funeral! The service and food was fantastic !!

Excellent service & great atmosphere!

Looking for somewhere to eat dinner we spotted the menu outside and being a coeliac I was elated to see so many gf dishes! Despite nearby places being rammed, it was practically empty here. Shown to a table and had a friendly and attentive waiter. I had the chicken ceasar salad. He had spaghetti bolognese and we shared sticky toffee pudding for dessert. GF food was clearly labelled and the dishes were tasty. The ambience was lacking due to the emptiness and despite this. service was still very slow and we waited a long time for food. Also felt a little rushed and were asked to pay in order for them to cash up, which felt a bit hurried, plus it wasn't cheap...but I would still visit again.

Great team, nice atmosphere food was amazing. Looking forward to going again

Already decorated for Christmas? But delicious as always and great service with friendly attentive staff!

Tasty lasagna and friendly staff.

I'm a full time waiter and when I saw Nicola was crushing her job, I mean it. I've seen my fair share of bad service and she absolutely delivered!! Incredibly confident and just locked in from the start, and not afraid to let her personality shine. Food was amazing and even though it was a busy Saturday evening, we didn't wait long before we got our meal. Props to the entire team for all their hard work!

Zakariya was an a great server.

really nice service- shoutout to ziko!

amazing food, amazing service thank you ziko :D

Ziko was very helpful! Really friendly and attentive

great place, managed to fit us in on a busy Saturday night, fully hit the spot and had a lovely server named Ziko who was extremely accommodating, great last minute spot

Overall great experience, very fast service and waiters were lovely!

First Steps in Bella Italia was greeted with the smile, even Chef was smiling behind the preparation counter. Despite that I used one of my vouchers - and mentioned that to waiter straight away before ordering I was served really with no exception same like everyone else although I paid for my meal 65% less than usual price which I think it’s absolute deal breaker when you trying a new restaurant. So this really left a very great first impression. Thanks to Harry and lovely service. Atmosphere was really cosy on such rainy day lunch time - that’s the spot ! When it comes to food I still have to be honest as usual, if to pay a full price for portion in my opinion could be slightly bigger slightly hotter - that would help to avoid for customer to have miss understanding between why my my meal seems slightly chewy ? Simply if the dish would have been hot at the right temperature chewinesses would have been gone so I would say 9.5 ( 4 stars on Google terms ) when it comes to taste just because of not enough heat doesn’t mean preparation ingredients , sauce etc was wrong.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, this place is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you're embraced by a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a slice of Italy. The staff is incredibly friendly, always going out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. The food is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is prepared with care, and the flavors are rich, fresh, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're enjoying a classic pasta or something from their extensive menu, it's clear that everything is made with passion and high-quality ingredients. Perfect for a cozy night out or a special occasion!

Pre theatre meal Friendly welcome by staff , great prompt efficient service with a smile but did not feel rushed. Delicious food a very relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant making a pleasant relaxing dining experience x staff went above and beyond Thank you xx

Food was first class staff very friendly and helpful

Service or rather our waiter for our group of 8 was very poor, plus why does Bella Italia send reward vouchers that you can't use? When using the app you can get £10 off or apparently you cannot!! May be our waiter was having an off day but as a result none of our group of 8 will be returning anytime soon.

Food was lovely and Ziko was great!

Great food and accommodating staff

Great service, always assured when asked for allergies! Really clean. Great food, reasonable price, would go back again.

Great spot if you're heading to Bristol Hippodrome. The staff are really nice and friendly. My family and I loved our meals – they were hot, tasty, and reasonably priced for a city centre restaurant. Kris, our host and waiter, took great care of us and suggested extras for our meals, like Garlic Crust on the pizza, which I totally agree with – it made a big difference and I ate every last bit of my pizza! Well done, we'll definitely come back! I highly recommend it!

Really great food, great service. Nothing was too much trouble. My daughter is super fussy and she ate everything and wanted more! Really would recommend a visit. The team were really upbeat, looking forward to coming back.

Ziko looked after us and was very friendly.

We managed to get booked in last minute on Saturday evening (28th). The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our server Ziko was knowledgeable about the menu options and made sure to add the vegan request for my partner. The food was delicious and was a perfect dinner as part of our date night!

our server zakariya was really good, the service was fast and the pizza was lovely!

Very good service thank you ziko

Excellent service, great food and very pleasant atmosphere.

Friendly enough but app isn't set up so no £10 off bill as advertised on the table, also can't use that if ordering off the "set menu". If ordering off the "set menu" watch out for the additional surcharges on some of the "set menu" meals and the "optional gratuity" automatically added to group booking of 8+, putting you in the awkward position of asking for it to be taken off if you can't/don't want too.

Excellent food ,great atmosphere

Excellent experience, food was great. Our server Zeko ? Was excellent, professional and attentive. Many thanks. Will remember to book in advance before a theatre show in future though.

Attentive friendly service. Meeting all our needs vegan and allergy as well as disability. Well done. Also good value.

Zico was the best waiter! Lovely food lovely atmosphere

Me and my friends had dinner here tonight, the staff were all very friendly and polite, but Ziko, our server in particularly was incredibly polite and able to remember our long order. 10/10 would recommend

Zeko gave us incredible service 👌🏻 food was insane! Definitely come again

Good food, great with allergies. Amazing service from Ziko!

Had a great meal & our waiter (Ziko?) Was very helpful!

Lovely food, friendly service from Zico, nice evening.

Great service by Zakaraya - a credit to Bella Italia!

As always lovely food, piping hot and plentiful. If I could score the service more than 5 * I would - Ziko is a star, keep hold of him! We will be back!

waiter was a legend. great guy. great food. great service.

Delicious food, Kris was a great host and was very welcoming. Massive thank you to Charlie for her kindness about replacing our drink after accidentally spilling it! She’s a star. Thank you all

Very good eating experience. Helpful and friendly waitress.

Lovely restaurant with amazing food and friendly staff, thank you very much :) Kris was very friendly and helpful!

Our server Harry was lovely and very prompt with the dishes. He had lots of information about the menu and gave us some helpful suggestions about the food.

Lovely staff Charlie and Kris made our stay amazing. would recommend to anyone for a fabulous meal!

Great staff and service. Good food and fast service

Chris and Kharles were great hosts. 'hic.

Really pleasant atmosphere, very welcoming. Food and service was great.

Kris and Charlie were great hosts! The food was lovely. Definitely recommend!

We were seated instantly with a warm welcome. We ordered food but there was an issue with the app. A member of staff was extremely helpful explaining the issue and was apologetic. The food arrived quickly and was delicious and the drinks arrived quickly too. The staff cleared the table and asked us for any more drinks or food and gave us a fond farewell as we left. Overall a brilliant experience for a random visit!

Food and service were both good, but charging £3.99 for what turned out to be a postage stamp sized piece of garlic bread (see picture) is absolutely outrageous! You really need to have a word with yourselves!

Very tasty. The service is fast and they are very kind

Great food, superb ambience. I was served by a lovely lady called Amber, who was super friendly and happy and attentive. She always had a smile on her face and always ensured that I had everything that I needed. People like Amber are an asset to the brand.

The man that was serving was very nice friendly and helpful loved it

We had an amazing experience at Bella Italia Bristol Baldwin Street. The food was amazingly delicious and we absolutely loved the service provided by Carys and Amber. They were so friendly and polite. The suggestions for food provided were very accurate. We would definitely want to visit again.

Floors could do with a wipe, starters were small and overpriced. Flies everywhere. Last time I’m going to any of these. Was disappointed last time. I’m done

Rip off uber delivery wheres the meat??? £10.99 for some pasta??

Staff were so friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. Definitely recommend here.

Good food and very good service, the girl was nice and attentive without being overbearing. The pasta was very tasty, a pity that the portion is a little small for its price. I think I'll be back and try the pizza.

Rude manager, not attentive to customers. Asked to moved tables to one in the window which was a 2 and wouldn’t accommodate this request. Won’t be coming back.

We had an enjoyable meal and an exceptional dining experience while visiting family in Bristol. Our waitress, Amber, enhanced our experience with her friendliness, attentiveness, and overall delightful service. I hope her hard work and outstanding customer service skills are recognised. Thank you, Amber; we look forward to visiting again.

Staff were very friendly, especially Amor who was the perfect waitress. Definitely a pizza I will remember. Thank you.

Amazing food and service. We’ll definitely come back in the future

We came in around 630 and it was packed, Kris was at the front and was so friendly. He let us know when a good time would be and when we came back he recognized us and greeted us warmly. The food and drink were amazing and everyone was so sweet to our 3 year old. Kris and a lady with black hair were just such a great team. We didn't feel rushed and were well taken care of. Kris provided some local knowledge for us like he was chatting up with an old friend, we loved it!

Excellent meal,served by very friendly staff. Had a voucher which made it good value. Will be using Bella Italia again. Three stars for atmosphere, unfortunately noisy children dropping things on floor,etc., Not resteraunts fault.

Bella Italia is a nice spot to grab something Italian. The food is good, could have more taste but is satisfying enough. The staff were really polite and nice and the aesthetics of the restaurant are really clean and nice.

Excellent service from the team great food. Special thanks to the chef Amor 😊

Me and my wife visited this place before going to a show we were greeted with a friendly welcome And they took are orders quickly I opted for the spicy sausage pasta which was nice if not abit expensive my wife had a pizza which wasn't that special cheese was rubbery and not very warm we wouldn't usually vist this place we only had a free main voucher overall I would recommend this place just abit pricey will definitely be visiting again

Out standing service and value of money, great food,will use again. Children's menu will worth the money... all in for £9

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic that I wish I had a bigger portion or have two of it!

My Bella experience in York many years ago put me off ever coming back but I actually enjoyed this one. The student (studying English Lit) who served me made me feel very welcome. The food is always mediocre but the garlic prawn start and the red wine were top notch.

We booked to share a meal with family yo celebrate our daughter's graduation. The service from the staff was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. Our waitress, Amber, was superb. She coukd not have been more professional and helpful and made the evening very relaxed and even more enjoyable. Thank you, Amber and the team.

Amber was our host and was very friendly and helpful

Lovely service and fantastic meal! Amber served us and was an absolute delight

Delicious food and will be back . Service was very good and attentive by friendly staff especially Amber who served our table 😊

I was greeted and seated and served, all with a smile. The waiting staff are lovely, friendly and extremely polite and professional. Highly recommend Bella Italia!

£15 pizza and there are barely any toppings on it. Pretty much one quarter of a slice of ham between half a pizza. Pathetic.

Lovely meal. Our waitress Amber was great, very attentive and friendly. She made us feel very welcome.

Amber was absolutely amazing, so attentive and friendly!

Fantastic food and wonderful staff. Our waitress Amber was brilliant and all the staff were friendly, cheerful and amazing!

It was our first time at this restaurant. We were greeted by Chris, who looked after us, service was excellent great food

Lovely food great service always a joy to eat there

The staff were very welcoming and the food was served quickly and to a high standard one of us had dietary restrictions they were really helpful and explained everything .

One of the waitresses Amber was clearly training the other Amor, but both were very friendly happy as a quick service!!! thank you both! lovely meal before the theatre :)

Food was amazing, amber our waitress was amazing, very friendly and helpful, a lovely setting in bristol, i will be returning!!

Fantastic food and service kris was very attentive and made feel really welcome can’t wait to come back again

Great pre theatre lunch! Friendly team and great food

You can rely on the food at Bella Italia, including gluten-free and milk-free options. Lovely meal in nice surroundings. Staff great, though over-worked.

Lovely food, great cocktails & our server (amber) was very friendly!
