Bella Italia Brighton in Brighton and Hove

The pasta was dry, the bacon not well done.

The food was lovely, we had starters, main course and pudding. Price was also good. Served by Amber who was very friendly and polite. Well worth a visit

Clean and staff were friendly and service was swift. There are plenty of seats, though the tables are a bit small for comfortable working. It's a great spot for a quick bite, but might not be ideal for a prolonged stay.

Nice place to eat. Very friendly and professional

Wonderful service by Luca and a great bday celebration

lovely time lovely people, a truely bella notte xx

Lovely time celebrating a 21st!

Fabulous service by Amber thank you

Amber was the greatest server of all time!

Brendon was our waiter and was very polite. Keep up the good work Brendan .

Portion sizes are good, tiramisu and carbonara are mediocre, pizza banging, service attentive and the staff feel comfortable enough to show personality which is nice to have. Annika was lovely. Always ask for recommendations and promotions!

Anika was amazing, very attentive

Excellent customer service from Brendon In Brighton food was very good 😊

Great service and atmosphere and lovely food thank you skai...

Was a bit slow, but Queen Skai always knew when we needed help. It’s people like Skai who keep the company going❤️

Great service and friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food was outstanding. Will return. Skai was friendly approachable and made us feel welcome

Annika was very efficient and attentive. Would definitely recommend

Yum food, service was good and fast.

Special cocktail is so good, we have a very sweet chat with SKAI, she’s so nice. It’s a lovely trip although weather’s so crazy. Me and my friend try to explore more and do more adventures. Let find passion in trip

Food is just delicious .. Chef just got it right .. amazing service from Amnika

Lovely food - quick drop in - friendly attentive staff(annika/luke)

Lasagne was delicious tiramisu tasty but bit dry

Het is de slechte's pizza die we ooit hebben gegeten. Veel te duur. Tafels schoongemaakt met vieze doeken. Niet goed. We begrijpen niet hoe het kan dat ze 4 sterren hebben.

Had a lovely visit, food was great, Hubert was very polite and friendly when we arrived and amber was a star and didn't mind grating loads of cheese for me :)

Amber & Hubert provided excellent service, and an enjoyable meal here this evening. Highly recommend as an evening dinner spot, friendly staff, good service & delicious food.

Really nice experience. Came for my birthday. Served by Amber and Hubert, who were really friendly and helpful. 👍😁

El servicio fue terrible! Llegué a las 4. 00 tenía un plato principal y un dulce más una copa de vino y salió a las 6. 00 . La comida estaba bien no muy bien.

waitered by sam very great server, i was celebrating my birthday and was super kind super sweet

Lovely service, swift, professional, welcoming & friendly! Gorgeous, tasty food too!

We had skai serving us she was great.

Our server Skai was so lovely, and so patient with us really made it even more enjoyable x

Brendan was an excellent server! So professional please pay him more.

Great service from Brendan and food was amazing to. Would recommend to anyone.

Our waiter Roland Wes really lovely and we like to commend him on his impeccable service

8 of us came here last night as a walk in and we were seated straight away. Amber was the loveliest waitress ever and went above and beyond to serve us. She is such an asset to the restaurant and should be celebrated for what a wonderful girl she is. Bella Italia are lucky to have her

Great service, friendly and warm. Varied menu, child friendly, central location , average prices.

No me di cuenta de que era una cadena que estaba cerca de mi hotel y me gusta la comida italiana, así que lo probé. Comida no buena, no sabrosa. Lo comí como tenía hambre pero la salsa de tomate era amarga y los canelones insípidos

Staff were really friendly. Zero issues with service or food. Delicious food at a decent price for what you receive. 10/10 would come again. I didn’t get the chap’s name who served us initially. He was very friendly and he gave us recommendations which helped as we weren’t sure what to order. Lovely evening all round.

I had a wonderful time tonight with my friends, our waitress Skai was amazing, so welcoming and lovely! Definitely will be coming back again!

A very enjoyable meal celebrating my parents anniversary. We received a friendly welcome and our server Amber was fantastic. She was very friendly, very attentive and she made sure we were very well looked after.

Food was very mediocre for the price but the service was great. Was served by Sky and Matilda who were so lovely and friendly. Wish the food was as good as the service. Thank you to them both !! :)

Great service from Amber! Thank you

The qr code didn't work , kept saying no service at the moment Finally ordered , starters came quickly but then waited 40 minutes for the main After we had ordered a dessert with the meal as it was a set meal.... We waited another 30 minutes before someone came up to double check if we wanted dessert and what we had ordered. I then went to check the qr code again so I could pay for the bill but it was the wrong order linked to the table so we couldn't pay without disturbing someone... Not terrible but not the best The starters were lovely (dough balls and meatballs) , carbonara with chicken for main and for dessert we had gelato and tiramisu.... The tiramisu tasted quite chocolatey and didn't have much alcohol taste if that's what your looking for :)

Been here multiple time as its consistently good. Staff quick and efficient, food quality always good

Amazing food, great service. Would 100% come here again!!

I visited with daughter on a cold damp October day. We ordered starters and asked for a gap beteween that and the mains. The waiter clealy forgot, as he brought the mains whilst we still ahad some starter in front of us. WIthout fuss, he apologised and took them away. Returning when we asked. So, good service and enjoyable food and wine.

MM YUMMY PIZZA PASTA MMMMMMM (annika was so nice 10/10 service)

Delicious food, clean, friendly atmosphere. Brilliant staff.

Food was delish and service from Matilda and Hubert was efficient and friendly !

A tiny salad at +£15, a really poor quality tiramisu… The quality/price ratio is clearly not good!

Got the buy one get one free main course deal on sign up. Pretty happy with that.

Food was okay, nothing special. The building could do with a refresh as it's quite tatty. Service wasn't good as the waitron avoided eye contact with us so we found it very difficult to get service when we needed it. For this reason we probably won't go back.

Good choice of Italian food. Pizza was very tasty, Garlic flatbread was a dream, very crunshy. Lovley waitress.

Amazing atmosphere. Authentic Italiana! The food is quite good. The service was excellent. Anita is one of the most charming waitresses who’s ever served me. Recommend wholeheartedly.

Annika really good service. Very friendly. Great atmosphere. Food always good

Annika was very attentive. Great service.

Annika was a lovely helpful waitress. She halped me to order gluten free without a fuss

Our waitress Annika was fabulous. Very friendly

Really great food, Annika was a nice hostess

We had a real Good time,,, Even with Zöliaki we were informt and fellt verry wellkom Anika is so nice and so helpfull thanks a lot 👌

Decided to come along as heard there were good gluten free options and there was. Food was amazing. Our server Annika was very friendly and attentive. Will be back

Great meal as always, Annika was lovely, great service and checked we had everything we needed!!!

Amazing food, incredible Pizza. Perfect service thanks to Brendan, very attentiveand friendly and good at catching pizza. Will definitely be back !

Second visit to Bella Brighton & just as brilliant as 1st visit. Greeted & seated by Oscar who was polite & friendly. Took order & food & wine came in perfect amount of expected waiting time even though restaurant was extremely busy. Roland served food & both he & Oscar asked if everything was ok during meal. Highly recommend this restaurant especially now darker evenings. Ambience & decor is cosy & relaxing & food is excellent thanx to Peter & Mia tonight in kitchen. Toilets immaculate & lovely evening out with g8 value for money.

Came here with my partner, who is more of a fan of Italian food than me, ended up getting some above average calamari and garlic flatbreads, and BBQ ribs, which were actually good despite the large difference to the pasta and pizza they also serve - would be useful for bringing any picky kids (or adults, like me!) overall very nice atmosphere and decoration, so would recommend if you're in the area.

Good food, atmosphere and staff, but nothing special. Simple place but good food.

Cosy atmosphere with lovely decor. Perfect retreat for some great grub from the cold. Our server Annika was wonderful

Annika did absolutely amazing service with a smile made sure we got a check back which as someone who works in hospitality I do greatly appreciate would highly recommend coming here for a nice meal and a great time!!!

Had a delightful breakfast whith Chris O'Neil. Who played George Harrison in the film BACKBEAT along side Stephen Dorff and Ian Hart

Very nice food and service I love this place thank

Service too slow and not very friendly. We have been sitting outside and ordered 3 course menu. Bruscetta,carbonarra and tiramisu. Each course of the menu was very plain and has not had any flavours. Tomatoes on bruscetta with ni flavour,cut into chunkes, Carbonarra made with powder cream (no egg yolks)- we got fork and knife instead or fork and spoon so was really hard to eat spagetty, no parmegano,olive oil or black pepper offered when served. Tiramisu very old and dry coated with another layer of cocoa powder to hide the dryness.

Excellent food. Great service. Thank you 👍 we will be back......

It was my first eating out here. It was nice and very kind. Thank you.

First visit & def will return. Met Emil when making inquiries about menu etc in the afternoon who was so helpful I returned wth my husband for dinner same eve. Served & greeted wth smiles by Eleanor. She was lovely. Restaurant was busy but got served immediately. So good I asked for chefs names(Joe/Peter) as to mention them in this review. Overall excellent experience...g8 food/wine/service & immaculate toilets & surroundings. Highly recommend.

Great meal! Eleanor was great, highly recommend any of the pizzas!!

Very very nice. Reasonably priced and all seems fresh and cooked well. They did a good meal deal - the pomodoro mozzarella pasta was banging, really good sauce and quality cheese, garlic ciabatta was good too and chips were perfect for me. One very small thing - not a fan of the blue cheese dip at all, it‘s quite thin and has a lot of something like vinegar that’s really strong and tastes odd, not nice. Everything else great!

Friendly waiting staff and good value for money, especially with children

Annika was absolutely lovely. Thank you for a super meal.

Good place to eat friendly staff good service 👍 can't fault it

Pasta plate not big enough for me

This is the first time I choose to visit this restaurant and the last time. The service is bad for Arabs. There are racist people in this place. I do not recommend it.

Server was sam, great service, great food, great time.

Luca was great! Nothing was too much trouble

We popped in on the spur of the moment around midday, or just before. The woman said they were ‘not quite ready’ but we were able to go in to get a table. I opted for one by the window but was very clearly told, not politely asked, TOLD that we would have to sit at a table for 2. We were not allowed to sit at the table for 4 by the window. I was surprised and this clearly showed as she said it was Bank Holiday and they were expecting to be busy. I can appreciate that but we were the only ones there and had popped in for a quick lunch. It’s worth noting that another chap was told the same and yet by the time we left, there were still PLENTY of tables available. So much for the crowd rushing in at midday. Also the carbonara was dreadful. Thin liquid which was more like soup was found at the bottom of the bowl. The young waitress did ask if we happy with the food part way through and we just said ‘yes’ because we didn’t want any issues and just couldn’t wait to leave. We won’t be going there again.

I was sat outside in the sun exactly where I asked and my food was brought to me in under 15 minutes, tasting excellent. Very impressed!

It was a really hot day so we opted to eat outside, we were put on two wobbly tables on an incline. We had to keep holding our drinks in case they slid off the tables.

Great service with staff engaging in conversations which was funny!!

Arrived late, they were still happy and I had a lovely Pollo Fungi. Well needed after takeaway week

Lovely servers, hubert was an amazing server and so was angus! Will come again

the manager really let down the place. our whole table was disgusted by how she treated her staff. they all seemed over worked and scared by her. Would not go again

Great service and very good food, I recommend this place ✌🏾

Amazing spot! The atmosphere, service, and location are excellent. I enjoyed the dessert; however, the tiramisu was a bit different from the classic version. Lovely place, though.

Annika offered great customer service, had a lovely meal :)

Having heard good things from friends who had eaten at the Brighton Bella Italia I decided to give it a try. However when I arrived I was left standing by the door for five minutes, even though the restaurant was practically empty when I was eventually greeted by a member of staff I asked them if I could eat outside given that tonight was warm I was shown to my seat and given a menu. However, after almost 15 minutes of waiting nobody had come to ask if I was ready to order or if I wanted to order a drink so I left. The quality of service was poor given how many staff were working and how quiet the restaurant wasI shan't be coming back sorry.

We asked for six persons and received a table for four. The others were crammed in between. Food was nice.

Great food, super service and a great vibe

Extra child-friendly Our kids loved it!
