Great food, and great staff. Ivo was very friendly and helpful!

I I was very polite and attentive. Good food

We received excellent service from Ivo - thank you

We waited 20 minutes before even being served. Then waited another 20 minutes before even getting our drinks let alone our food which took another 15 after that. After speaking to the manager he said I was aggressive and then tried to kick me out. Worst dining experience I’ve ever had.

Ivo absolutely class he’s a mint guy and the food was amazing but service was class gen

Ivo is the best server in the place this man knows his Parmesan and he’s running the place like clockwork 10/5 stars

We went for dinner last night as a family of 4 after we had been to the cinema. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was very cosy. Our waiter Ivo, gave us 5 star service. He was brilliant with our 2 boys. We will be back again.

Isa was excellent and very friendly. Quick service, lovely food and thank you for accommodating gluten free. The pizza was yummy!

Great service from Ivo, thank you 😊

Brilliant experience, great service from our waitress Rihanna could not recommend enough!

Fantastic service from Isa especially with a large table. Thank you

Very nice and quick service. Waitress were very friendly, specially Isa, Thank you for being so friendly. Food were amazing ans tasty as well! Thanks! Its a bit loud with everyone downstairs, the music probably was too much for the background.

Ivo was amazing, very friendly and very good with allergies

I was out for a meal with friends and We had a lovely waiter called Ivo. He was very attentive especially about allergies.

Ivo was fantastic! He helped us figure out who was paying for what and was really helpful and accommodating with our groups allergies

Had a lovely evening, good food, good service, lovely atmosphere.

Great food and atmosphere, our server Ivo made the whole experience so welcoming, he was very attentive and funny. Thank you!

Superb food, my waiter Ivo was very attentive and I throughly enjoyed my time at the restaurant.. will definitely return!!

Ivo provided lovely service for me and my friends, we had a great time

Quality food and good service. Not overly crowded and pleasant atmosphere.

Bro either they’re racist or they were too tired to serve me and my girlfriend well/ give us a good service, I don’t know but I didn’t enjoy my time there. The female waitress especially was rude and crass but it is what it is. Food was okay tho.

Food was very good Ivo was very friendly

Lovely time, good food and our waitress Isa was especially nice and really took care of us!

We served by Isa, who was lovely. The food and service was great.

Seasonal salad advertised as full of roasted vegetables, seeds and an olive oil and balsamic dressing. Worst salad I have EVER had. A few baby gem leaves, 3 tiny pieces of tomato, 6 pieces of re roasted pumpkin, 1 small slither of pepper and red onion. NO dressing. My son had Bolognese pasta. If there was a teaspoon of Bolognese on his pasta I'd be surprised. My daughters lentil Ragu tasted like lentil soup in soggy spaghetti. I feel robbed of my £100 of pounds. Please go elsewhere!!!

Had a lovely day out with my family and our server Leah was very helpful and friendly - would recommend!

Ciao wow What an amazing place to come the service was Incredible and so was the food and drink will Return soon

I wanted to take a moment to recognise Sebastian ( Gunwarf Quays) for his exceptional service during our recent visit. His attention to detail was remarkable; he anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Sebastian's friendly demeanor and knowledgeable recommendations enhanced our dining experience significantly. He truly went above and beyond, making us feel valued and well cared for.

I would have given you a five star. Why you fell short is because your chef let foods go out that was cold that should have been hot!!! There are no excuses!!! Even if we are on the second floor.

Fabulous service from Andrea. We have been here for 6 years every year for the great south. Food was amazing x

Ivo made us feel really welcomed and the food was great

Was a busy Friday, we had pre booked. They automatically add service charge to the bill. They had ran out of a certain dish by 7pm on a Friday night which surprised me. Server was helpful enough but not to warrant a specific service charge. Id rather leave a tip direct to the person if they go above and beyond. Which on this occasion they did not. The guy at the till/welcome desk was just doing his job, nothing more, nothing less but not very engaging. We literally had two drinks and two meals and the service charge was automatically about £5. Each to there own but watch out if you're in a bigger group ordering more and you don't feel the service warrants whatever they're automatically charging.

We came to Bella Italia for a date night and was greeted at the door in the nicest tone voice we heard from our server all night, we were then walked to a tiny little table next to the stairs in a pretty much empty restaurant and our server just drop the menus on the table and walked off before she could walk off to far we asked if we could sit in the booth instead and got a response of just “yeah”. hoping to eat off of the set menu we were a little disappointed that the garlic doughballs and the cookie dough dessert wasn’t available but we understood as we both work in hospitality, we were asked by our server if we were ready to order to which we told her we had been trying to order on the app, which we failed at. Then after trying some more we started looking around to catch someone’s eye. it took until 8:00 to get our order taken ( we were seated at 7:30) because our server just disappeared, although, what seems to be the manager took our order and was beyond helpful, food came quickly and was really nice, over all server was a bit dry and cold and not up the the standard that should be in a restaurant.

Delicious dinner, very well priced and waitress Leah was extremely kind and helpful! Would recommend!

Anett made me feel at home, comfortable and made Bella a very special moment for me. 10/10 all staff are wonderful ❤️

Leah is amazing!!! made the whole experience more enjoyable!!!

Thanks Isa ! Very warm welcome and great service !

isa was very friendly and we had a lovely experience

Good service but disappointed with very small portion of food and expensive drinks

Anett was super sweet and made us feel really welcome with my two year old granddaughter. Food was delicious too.

My server today was Anett and she was fantastic. I wanted to sit outside but the area was closed, however, Annette made it possible. The food was lovely but most importantly the service was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Anett for making my visit today an amazing one.

The waitress we had was called Anett who was very friendly and attentive. We hadn’t mentioned it was my mums 80th birthday but as we were paying it came up in conversation suddenly she disappeared and came back singing happy birthday with a candle in a brownie and ice cream and 4 mini lemoncello each. Such a simple kind gesture made my mums day and a memorable trip to your restaurant.

Fun place for shopping and dining.

Went to Bella Italia for my sister’s 19th Birthday. Leah was attentive, friendly and a great asset to your company. Thankyou for making our night special!

leah was amazing she did a lovely job she was very understanding she was super helpful. :)

I appreciate that not everyone will share the same opinion when going to a Bella Italia, as evidenced on our own visit - but it really is a case of making the experience work for you and communicating with the staff! Our meals, drinks, and table were constantly checked and surveyed, despite it being a busy evening for them. Our dietary needs were also catered for when it would have been easy to miss, which was very appreciated. All in all, great food, great service, and a classically great evening at this italian institution!

Amazing food!!! Came out really quickly. Service was brilliant as usual! Our waitress Leah was so friendly and helpful, having a gluten intolerance myself, she was very advisory of what to go for :)

I can for my birthday an was served by Leah, she was absolutely amazing great service all night x

The service was excellent and Leah was so friendly and polite. The food was excellent and was hot and plentiful. Definitely recommend the premises for both service and great food.

Fabulous food, fabulous service! Food tasty and piping hot! Highly recommend.

We had a lovely evening, the food was great and Leah our waitress didn’t spare the Parmesan!

We brought a group of 36 in from the US while on a university trip & we had an amazing experience! Andrea & Ivo made our experience one for the books! Highly recommend for EVERY aspect!

The food was Fantastic and the service from Ivo was great he made it worth it to come here even after we tried multiple restaurants

Andera made our day with dessert and was so sweet!! such a great place!

Good food and good service from Leah!

We dined in on Saturday. To start of we had no one come up to us to take our order neither did anyone let us know that we could order on our phones. Ordered starters- my cheesy garlic dough balls were cold. Ordered a Gamberoni - prawns had absolutely no flavour, the pasta was awful had barley any flavour to it couldn’t even finish it. Pepperoni pizza wasn’t great either especially for a “Italian” restaurant. No one checked up on us to see how the food was. Very disappointed as we’ve been to Bella Italia in other locations which haven’t disappointed.

Amazing! Food was delicious! Service was so friendly and welcoming, leah our waitress was brilliant.

Booked a table, was seated and waited, and waited and after 20 minutes of no interaction we walked out. Service was dire. But it's OK, because there are some lovely restaurants in Gunwharf that are happy to serve customers properly.

From start to finish very disappointing food horrible service even more horrible than food Disgusting 🤮

Andera was very polite, smiley and made us feel welcomed and comfortable

Excellent food and excellent service from our waitress Leah. A great evening to round off a great day.

Walked out 15 minutes after being seated and saw the couple who were seated at the same time followed. Ignored over and over by the 3 staff members there today 11th over and over. No drinks were even ordered. They were more interested in cleaning tables, discussing whatever with each other etc etc...should not be in the service business if that's how you serve. We spent our £100 elsewhere and had a great meal with great service from a much younger person who actually knows her job

Amazing restaurant! Food is top notch and so tasty (especially Calamari, meatballs and Marco Polo) lovely atmosphere all staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Found this lovely atmosphere restaurant after a long day city seeing. All we wanted to eat asap & we didn't have to wait too long, Team members are quick & efficient. Want to give special shout out to Anett, who has fantastic humor sense and hospitality skills. She made us feel special, will remember Bella Italia because of her. Great service!

Our server Isa was very attentive and friendly, and our food was served quickly and tasted great.

Our waitress Leah was fantastic! Really attentive with our children, provided a brilliant, efficient service. Really impressive service.

SPICY EXPLODING FLAVOURS.. VERY COOL VENUE GREAT MENU GOOD SELECTION OF MEALS AND DRINKS GOOD STARTER'S LEADING UP TO THE MAIN COURSE
