Bella Italia in Portsmouth

Great restaurant nicely decorated with good atmosphere. Very well looked after by Sabina. The food came quickly and was very tasty.

We were group of 8 and unlike some other restaurant the lady who was greeting us didn’t made any fuss and quickly add together few small tables. Isa was amazing lady, taking our orders, dealing with each of us and making sure everyone is satisfied. Overall great experience…

Great food and great service. Sabina was lovely a lovely waitress and very 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!

Great place to go with children. Isa, our server, was lovely.

Got a bit loud later it got. But expected.

We were a very large impromptu table of 18 and Sabina did an amazing job of serving us and keeping us all happy.

Wonderful menu. Used Tesco vouchers to pay for the food (not the drinks) from the a la carte menu. Food was really good. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Service was fast.

Superb food and service. Bit too noisy on a Saturday night but that's my problem lol

Our first visit to Bella Italia in Gunwharf Quay as a family of 4. As soon as we were welcomed by our server Daniel we felt at ease, very friendly and helpful. All three courses of our food were delicious, we had no complaints. We will definitely be going back.

Daniel was a very nice and polite man, friendly and kind, looked after us through out our meal.

Food was lovely definitely gonna go back and order the same again. The servers were kind and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed even ler us do a wine test to see if we liked it before buying. Recommend booking in advance was fairly busy but one to for sure try out.

A well deserved place to visit. Obviously busy due to great food & service. A huge thanks to Isa, Daniel & Oliver (his first day) for such wonderful team work and serving us with smiles & such politeness.

Oh men Ivo is the best service giver in this restaurant

Staff were very attentive and the food came quickly

Really nice food and a great location, our server, Ivo, couldn’t do enough for us and was really attentive.

Ivo was amazing and great! Amazing service and great food!

I attended when the restaurant was very busy and the manager was little upset he may of had to turn me away when I said I know you closing the terrace but would it be ok if I had my meal out there then I won't be blocking space in the restaurant and can still enjoy a delicious meal? He was very happy to do that for me and staff kept coming out to check on me if I needed anything. When they brought my dessert out I sent a message back in to thank the chef for such a delicious meal and to thank all the staff for their kindness shown to me in making me still feel welcome at their restaurant. This was in fact my second visit and the food was just so delicious both times. There is a very nice menu selection and as I couldnt choose what I wanted I went for 3 sides as well as the set menu and had some sparkling water. I enjoyed dinner with a view of Portsmouth harbor. Which actually made me enjoy my meal even more because it was a lovely atmosphere. They went above and beyond to cater for me as a disabled customer and I really appreciated it. A lot of places have turned me away but he didnt. So when I want a hot meal at gunwharf these lovely and kind people will be my first choice.

Food is absolutely amazing. Staff is incredible. Prices are very fair. You pay for what you get. Best food I have had in a long time My server was Ivo. Best staff member there by far. A good laugh and gave lots of cheese aswell 😋 Great worker! Perfect serve

Sabrina gave excellent customer service

Leah served us and it was a lovely night

We recently visited Bella Italia Gunwharf, and it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and given the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was a beautiful sunny day, we chose to sit outside, enjoying the fresh air and the lovely waterfront views. The outdoor seating had a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere—perfect for soaking up the sunshine while watching the world go by. Now, onto the food—everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. I had the Cheeseburger, and it was one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I’ve had in a while! The beef patty was thick and cooked perfectly, staying tender and succulent. The melted cheese on top added a creamy richness, and the soft, lightly toasted bun brought it all together. Served with crispy golden fries, it was a hearty and satisfying meal. The Carbonara was another highlight. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in a creamy, silky sauce with just the right balance of richness. The pancetta added a delicious smoky flavor, and the Parmesan on top gave it a lovely finishing touch. What made it even better was that our server kindly offered to grate extra cheese on top, which made the dish even more indulgent and delicious! The Chicken Milanese was equally impressive. The crispy, golden breaded chicken was tender and juicy on the inside, but what truly made the dish outstanding was the buttery garlic sauce—rich, fragrant, and bursting with flavor. It paired beautifully with the crispy coating of the chicken and made every bite absolutely irresistible. The side salad added a fresh contrast, making the dish feel perfectly balanced. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed. They were happy to accommodate any requests, and their attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. With delicious food, excellent service, and the perfect outdoor setting, our meal at Bella Italia Gunwharf was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty Italian food in a great location!

Really lovely lunch and a very friendly waiter

Came to Bella Itallia for an early evening meal, excellent choice of Gluten Free and delicious too! Service was from Ivo, very professional and cheerful, thank you Ivo! Will definitely return. Great service x

I would've thought this place wouldn't be bad as it was pretty crowded, but I was wrong. Staff were very nice and friendly but the food was really eh, tasted like frozen pizzas I get from Tesco. I got a meat fest pizza for £16, it was small to medium and super tasteless, even tho their speciality is pizzas. My brother got a pasta for £14, like usual it wasn't matching the price in the taste. My mum got seabass, it was £17 with a whole lot of dry potato's and a small fish.It's disappointingg as it shows theirselfs as an italian restaurant while serving frozen food.

Thank you for the service of Ivo and Isa for a great service and welcoming :)

Ivo was our waiter. The food was amazing and the service was great. Would highly recommend. Thankyou Ivo!

Amazing experience and Ivo is a fantastic waiter with great charisma

Ivo was an amazing server who gave us the best experience possible

LOVE IVO !! best staff ever THANK YOU 🫶

Ivo was amazing! So friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!
