Bella Italia Inverness in Highland

Great meal for the four of us. Two children included. Great caring and polite service, so fair play to Magda, a really helpful server. Would visit again.

Bella Italia in Inverness is a fantastic dining spot! The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide range of options, including plenty for vegetarians. The staff are polite, cooperative, and attentive, making you feel right at home. If you're visiting with kids, there's no need to worry – they offer special kids' dishes and even provide entertainment like painting and puzzles to keep little ones entertained. It's a wonderful, family-friendly restaurant where everyone can enjoy a great meal and have a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

We visited Bella Italia on Sunday 16th of February 2025 at 18.00 pm. We were so happy with the food and the servers are nice. They were kind to change the starter that I ordered it wrong as I had no idea it had got cheese on and he changed it for us to a different one. That was nice of him. Our pastas were delicious! We really enjoyed our dinning at Bella Italia, Inverness. Tanya

Liam was really good with us - dealing with our odd dietary requests with good humour (and more importantly got everything right!!)

Magda was such a great waitress. Very cheerful and attentive.

Magda was the person who served us today, she was the kindest waitress we’ve got in this trip to Scotland, she made this experience much more enjoyable

Lovely experience at Bella Italia. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food service was prompt.

Magda was nice and very helpful

Great atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff, nice food, good experience in Inverness

Come at 11.43 and the man said not open untill 12, and he said off you go. Plain rude to the core. Hope your business not bankrupt

Perfect 🤩 both daughter and I Thoroughly enjoyed I had spinach and ricotta cannelloni and my daughter had spaghetti Bolognese. It was presented beautifully untied magnificent.

If I could select every reason for my eating then I would! The waitress that greeted us was so cheerful and friendly, we were difficult customers with our order of a half and half pizza (same toppings, one side with cheese and one without). The chef agreed to work around our problem of a cheese allergy and provided us with our half and half. Myself and my mother were both so impressed with everything right from the start, so much so that I’m currently writing this while still sat at my table. I wanted to say a massive thank you to the ladies that serves us today, you really made a mundane day special! :))

Friendly service, but a little bit to cold inside the restaurant

Such a lovely place and I will definitely return next time I'm in Inverness! The food is absolutely divine and the staff are absolutely incredible and are so good at what they do. I love that allergies are taken seriously here - it's one of the first things they ask before you order. Having worked in hospo I know how dismissive some places can be about them. Keep up the great work team! Bravo!

Great experience all round, food was lovely and Magda was also fantastic!😊

Absolutely beautiful place to go enjoy some dinner, the atmosphere coming into the building very warm & welcoming. Our service was very quick, attentive & fast, Waitress was very attentive to our needs as well as all those else visiting that night. Food was absolutely beautiful, freshly made, hot & quick service. Would definitely recommend & would highly suggest it to friends & family!

Very nice service ! Quickly helped us to our spot. Drinks and food also came fast. Food is delicious. Served by Ola - sweet lady !

I've been coming here a lot recently with friends, and Magda has been a standout server every time, she's so nice and attentive and makes the experience so much better!

Food was very tasty, Liam our waiter was wonderful, would recommend and plan on returning.

A nice place to eat. Good food and great service.

Delicious food, quick friendly service and affordable prices. Was served by Magda who was very welcoming and attentive.

Served by a very nice lady called Magda. Helpful and friendly.

Maybe time of day (about 1400), but the restaurant was all but empty (1 other couple) which,, in a large room did little for atmosphere! However, service was excellent (Magda looked after us) and the food also. We went on a special offer (£5 for a pasta dish) though upgraded to get a preferred choice. As I said the lack of fellow customers may have been down to my "late lunch", but I felt the room would be better partitioned, lessening the "lonely feeling".

Had a lovely meal for husbands bday lovely food , magda was very polite and helpful.

Brilliant food, service from Magda was excellent, will be back again

Went in for the £5 pasta deal in January and certainly was. I disappointed. The food was great and at such good value, service was also very fast and friendly from Wiktoria. Wouldn’t definitely recommend a visit.

Good Food with excellent service.

Magda gave excellent customer service and the food was delicious.

Service staff were welcoming, professional and served with a smile and a chat.

We were at Bella Italia on hogmanay as a family of four. Magda served us, the service and food was very good. Will return again soon :-)

The food was amazing as always and Magda had lovely and attentive service!

Fantastic place, pizza was beautiful, salad was soo tasty, and chicken fries were unreal. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend you visit!

A beautiful meal and the best service , Magda is soo friendly and welcominng and one of the reasons we keep returning.

Very delicious food, super nice, polite and attentive, especially Magda ! :-) we would definitely come back again. Thanks für the good food and service ! :-) PS definitely try the bruschetta- so good !

Definitely worth coming here. Reasonably priced. Got to try spicy sausage pasta. It was delicious. Side of fries was good quantity and the right amount of crispy. Our server Magda was great.

Good food,reasonable prices very friendly and helpful staff.

Delicious food tonight with fantastic service from our waitress Magda! Very friendly welcome to Bella Italia, Inverness who gave gold star customer service to us. Thank you Magda!

It was quiet but was early lunchtime . Staff lovely. Served by Magda very friendly and pleasant

Was perfect! And the food is so good, I was impressed, and Magda is so charming and nice! Thank you so much and happy new year!

Fabulous meal, despite being busy Magda looked after us so well.

Tried their christmas vegetable pasta, didn't like button sprouts in it (surprisingly they take 2 pounds extra for that). Didn't like their garlic dough balls either. Lemon cheese cake was a bit too lemony. Chocolate orange fondant was good, but sadly their quantity is lesser in set menu. Overall, it was okay but a bit below my expectations.

Magda was an exceptional server today. Nothing was too much trouble

Magda is amazing, quick and lively.. We Enjoyed our feast..

I had the Christmas vegetable pasta. It was delicious. Magda is friendly and very quick at providing service :) Enjoyed my food and the time spent here. Thank you

Pasta was delicious and Madga was so attentive and kind. Excellent choice for an Italian meal.

It was a lovely experience. Magda made it even more warm and memorable for us. Cheers!

Our server tonight (23rd dec) was Magda. 10/10 service. Fromnstrt to finish very happy cheerful quick and helpful service very pleased!!!

Wonderful experience, served by Magda, she was very nice and professional, really care about customers. Fabulous service, marvellous food, five stars restaurant, highly recommended

Great food, great service by Magda. Good for family

We were served by Liam today after a little confusion around menus and offers Liam went above and beyond to ensure our visit was fantastic. As a coeliac it’s refreshing to find a restaurant so clued up on allergens along with superb cocktails. Liam couldn’t do enough for us going the extra mile enhancing our experience. Liam is an asset to the Inverness Bella Italia

The service was first class Magda is amazing she is a really good host, absolutely so welcoming we will be back again. Food very well presented and tasty, I cleared the plate. Ministroni soup excellent lasagna amazing.

We have been here three times in three days! Beautiful food, both the pizza and the pasta, and wonderful service (thank you for being a star Magda!), we will definitely be back again:)

We were a big party of originally 20 people, and the business got in contact to arrange pre-ordering, which made our night go alot smoothly with timing for food coming out to our table. We had a couple people cancell from the booking and our server Gabriel was more then happy to help accommodate that. Extremely polite staff and very enjoyable experience with great organisation and communication from the staff, definitely recommend.

Very good service, pay Gabriel more money

Lovely night out and great food , big shout out to Gabriel for being on the ball with our orders

Table service was great, would recommend to friends

MAGDA's service Is perfect, we love it!!!

Lovely food, nice chill atmosphere, plus our server Magda was a wee star, thanks!

Our waitress Magda was amazing. Great food, atmosphere and very good GF options.

Very lovely place, lots of Gluten Free options and great service. Magda was so lovely! She's a wee star 🌟 🤩

The food was beautiful our server Magda was amazing being super quick and efficient with our food and Bill also offering to refill the water when need 5/5 😁😁

Magda was especially helpful and attentive. She made me feel very welcome and provided top service.

Very tasty meals and drinks. Very good service, thoroughly recommend.

Went for a meal with a group of friends on Saturday 7th December. Service was excellent especially Gabriel who made us feel very welcome and offered great service. The food was fantastic and everything arrived at the same time. Would highly recommend!👍🏼 also, thanks for the Bella Italia shirts😂 made for a good laugh when we went for a few drinks after the meal😂👍🏼

I like the speed of service .. and the food is also great!we tried the 3 course ! Plus the very friendly staff his name is gabriel. We need more of him in the industry.

Great place, great food and reasonably priced.

Had a light lunch time meal very good - will return

With a group, out from Skye to go to the pantomime. From when we entered the restaurant, we were treated with care, so thank you so much 💖

Great food and service at this chain restaurant the staff were excellent and very friendly

Food good service great! Magda excellent!

Just in for an ice cream and a coffee with my wee boy. Place was warm, service was lovely, Magoail was our server who greeted us and couldn't do enough for us in the short time we were in, making a fuss over my son. Great experience

Great place! Magda is sweet and helpful

Lovely experience, all the staff and management were great and friendly. Mozzarella sticks hit different

Brilliant customer service right from when you walk in the door, met with a warm smile. Fabulous food and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or a family meal. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small slice of Italy.

Wow what a beautiful experience I had can’t wait to come back ❤️

Magda was cheerful all night, that’s what you love to see. Definitely coming back here next time 😊

Lovely meal with my daughter and 2 grandchildren. We were served by Magda, she was great, made the evening more special .

Staff are great. Really nice started - mozzarella sticks were the fav. Carbonara wasn’t that nice and pulled beef pizza was far too oily

Was served by Magda she very friendly, polite and professional wich added to a already good atmosphere, food was good also.

Great food, but on the expensive side for what we had. Service first class. Liam is doing a great job of managing the place. Thanks, Liam!

Great Ambience for a local eatery - prompt service and great food. Had BBQ Ribs and home style Tiramisu.

Delicious pizza and pasta, good service

Atmosphere was nice and food was good!

Ordered a delivery through deliveroo, they only delivered main course for one order. Tried to contact both deliveroo and Bella italia repeatedly for about an hour with no luck. Deliveroo randomly sent a message saying they would refund 80p, which they have not done, meal for everyone ruined as constantly on the phone thinking it could be resolved. Finally got through to Bella italia the next day and they said it was nothing to do with them, which is fine if that’s their attitude but no point ordering from them again if so.

I very much enjoyed the spicy sausage pasta and Magda's kind service, would recommend the place any time!

I have tried to eat Italian food in 4 cities in Scotland, this is the only place that had me saying PERFETTO! Gabriel made us feel like Michelin star guests! Vegan and vegetarian options, very conscious of diet restrictions, and exactly the tastes we were craving. If you stop in Inverness, this is a must for dinner. You'll come for the delicious food and wine, but you'll be enamored with a legendary pepper shaker that has to be seen to be believed. Treat yourself and come eat here 💖

Excellent service and very accommodating to needing to eat quickly to get to the airport. Food was lovely

An excellent meal in a warm atmosphere with a dedicated waitress! At the top

Well located, great service and usual food for those who don't want to risk the menu

Closing time was ten O'clock. We went at 8:30 at they were reluctant to take us. One of the bartenders was quite rude to my friend who has alergies and was trying to order. We felt a bit unwelcomed. Any kebab which serves pizza it's better than this

It was not my 1st trip to Bella Italia, so disappointed that items on the menu were not available, the same as the last time I visited, so not a one-off! I managed to get my third choice main.

Great service by Gabriel happy cheery & very attentive. Food was lovely.

Lovely meal at Bella Italia Inverness. We just made it before it got so busy. Lovely pleasant waiter. Food just what we needed after driving all day.
