Bella Italia Inverness in Highland

Good food, atmosphere was great and waitress was wonderful.

Gabi my waiter was superb and very helpful.

soooo nice thank you so much to Magda!!! She was so kind and funny !!! You must to go there

The wait staff was so friendly and the food was delicious! Definitely coming back here to visit!

Very good food and Magda, our waitress, took very good care of us!!

Thank you for this delicious dish and particularly to Magda who did the service very well (very kind)

magda is very nice and welcoming and the food was very nice!

Pretty bad service. The starters are fair in both quantity and quality. When you are forced to tip, it stops being a tip. The bad faces of the waiters, the bad words and the bad manners. I will not come back. I don't recommend it either.

Delicious pastas, modern atmosphere and excellent service.

We had a good time Eating Dinner in Bella Italia, our waiter Gabriel was very perceptive and friendly even if there were things like our poor attemts to comunitacte in english.

The meal is good But the restaurant is not friendly, the waiters weren’t smiling, And be careful, on internet it’s said that it’s closed at 21pm but in reality you can’t came if you arrived at 8pm We’Ve seen customers that can’t enter to the restaurant It’s too bad

Bland food, not great service, wont be back

It was a successful, spontaneous evening. Service 👍 Top Friendly service all around. Food plentiful, tasty and prices absolutely ok.

If I had to pick a hearty meal to have while staying in the area, I would choose Bella italia. Food was tasty, served fresh and hot, and well priced. Would definitely recommend the calamari.

Five of us just left and what a lovely waiter so friendly. The food was very nice and service quick. I love Bella! Will be back soon😍

Popped in for lunch with my daughter, the staff were warm, welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent (loved the new loaded fries as a sharing side). Best yet when the bill arrived it was less than expected!

Gabriel was a fantastic server! Timely service and good food.

Nice food and excellent service. A very pleasant experience.

A lovely Restaurant in the middle of Inverness... The food is very good and tasted delicious.. The service was good... But sometimes one could think that they are unfriendly... I recommend to book in advance if you can.. We would go back anytime..

Food was amazing, service was great

Very busy, staff are kind and polite. Toilets and toilet doors very unclean.

The worst canzone which I tried in my Life Spicy Chicken and strange meat like sausages or meatballs inside + too many dough

While stopping at an Italian restaurant on our tour of Scotland wasn't on the bucket list, Bella Italia in Inverness ended up being a great choice for gluten free Italian. It's a little pricey to be sure, and the USD/GBP exchange rate certainly does not help, but you will not be disappointed. Great pizza, great pasta, and just great all around. We ate here twice and both times left completely satisfied, if not a little lighter in the wallet :)

okay, but nothing special. all orders were delivered slightly wrong. starters came after the main course.

Everything felt sticky, tables, menus, shoes on the floor. We were given knives for the pizza one which was barely holding itself together with the plastic handle sides coming off from the knife itself. Two pizzas which were both really bland and soggy, lasagna pizza I'll accept I should have seen as a joke pizza but the pasta that's put onto it just congeals into eating something like air puffs for packaging. BBQ pizza bland to the point of no real smell coming from the pizza let alone taste.

Waiter without tact, pizza small and with few vegetables. It's not charcoal, but electricity. Too bad for the name they have.

Great place for a family night out , we were 10 people , the service was quick and polite with lovely hot food all around. Perfect for our gluten free guest who said “ this is the best GF menu I’ve ever seen “ ( the kids eat for £1 was a great feature considering the generous portion size ) I noticed that they also eat for free on a Thursday. We will definitely be back to taste the new menu.

Thank you, Gabriel for taking care of us during our time in Inverness! You were fantastic!

Great spot for dinner if you're out in Inverness. Good food, decent price, fast service, and a generally clean environment.

visited for lunch on Saturday food and service was really good and lovely relaxed atmosphere

Ordered carbonara, received boiled pasta with bacon pieces without any sauce or flavour, pizza was greesey and cold, the only thing that was good was tramisu and that was all to it never again verry dissapointed 🤬🤬

Good service, okay food but cold restaurant. The female toilets also needed a really good clean! Would probably not visit here again.

I took the kids to eat today which is Thursday and on the menu it stated kids eat for free on Thursdays and online as well when I asked the waitress she stated that was wrong even though I showed her what it said on the menu I feel it’s false advertisement and that is why I gave it only two stars I hope they fix there menu and website that states kids eat free all day Thursday

Good food, nice service. Will be back.

Cualquier parecido con la gastronomía italiana es pura casualidad. Pizzas de mala calidad. Masas que parecen congeladas e ingredientes pésimos y con precios caros.

Gabriel did an awesome job of making us feel at home. The food was great and at a good rate! Would recommend 10/10

Horrible. The schedule of the restaurant is until 9pm. But today we entered to ask a table for two at 7.30pm, and the waitress said it's closed, because they decided to close early. I'm coeliac and it's so hard to find some gluten free places. I only ask to be seriously with your schedule.

really good definitely going back

Friendly staff and decent food. Recommended!

We loved our meal but the entire evening was a delight due to Magda’s great service and charming personality.

Second time we've eaten here recently. Very nice evening, food was good and service was excellent - Magda was great!

Our waiter, Gabriel, was very attentive.

It feels and appears an authentic Italian restaurant. I was even recommended this place. However that's not the case I think first things first the service was amazing and really quick I ended up ordering a cola an Spaghetti and meatballs an Italian classic. Over the meatballs were decent nice flavour but texture a little rubbery and chewy and the pasta was kind of dry and rubbery as well texture not ideal. It wasn't bad but definitely not proper authentic Italian which does say alot for a place that's name means beautiful Italy.

Good service and the food arrived quickly. Ordered pizza, it was perfectly OK.

Just a casual Italian restaurant, big menu and good pizza :)

Nothing extraordinary, but good food! Pizza and pasta were sufficient, not huge portions.

Bella Italia thank you for given us somewhat of a momentary lull in the flavour free food that Scotland offers. This is a chain and there are 90 of them or so across the UK. It may be one of the few restaurant you’ll find in the UK who actually know what salt is! It’s not a wood fired margherita that my discriminatory palette is accustomed to so I’d recommend the pasta over the pizza options

Her var fuld booket til aften, da det var Valentinsdag. Så vi tog frokost her og det var en god oplevelse. Vi valgte alle pastaret og der var ingen klager. Vi fik parmesan og frisk kværnet peber på efter servering. Tak for mad og god betjening.

Love this Bella Italia. Magda our server is amazing. We have met her a couple of times now and she is so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Obviously at the moment prices for eating out are ridiculously high. But considering they're no more expensive than other restaurants around, the service and food are excellent. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful place. Staff are incredible but I'm afraid the pizza is not the best, I can't comment on other dishes though, maybe it was just an unlucky night

Superb service and excellent food.

A lovely ambience and fast service. We hadn't pre-booked but they were able to fit us in us a family of six (including some small people!) and seat us straight away, despite being a busy Saturday lunchtime. The portion sizes were reasonable and particularly generous for the children's menu. A lovely treat for us all

Quick service,staff cleaning was excellent. Cleaned every table,menu,even salt shaker,tables and chairs.

Delicious food, very friendly and welcoming staff, and absolutely a fair price! I recommend the set menus. The place to go for pasta in Inverness.

Disgusting. Food not hot and congealed, plates chipped. Ladies toilet disgusting enough to stop our wives from entering. If this is what we are offering tourists, Scotland is a sorry place.

Durante nuestra estancia en Escocia fuimos varias veces a esta cadena tanto en Edimburgo como en Inverness. La comida está riquísima y la atención del personal es muy amable.

delicious and reasonable price! Cheese ball and gelato are great!

They took us last minute without a booking due to a no-show and couldn’t have been more helpful, staff were great and food and drinks were lovely……will definitely visit again when in the area

Nice place, staff are on point with the service, food was nice.

I had a pizza margarita... But made a social request to add a topping non included on the menu. They happily did that along with some requests like ordering garlic butter on the side. Very friendly staff as well.

Lovely food. Friendly atmosphere.

Fine pizza and always good service

Food is atrocious and pathetic. Pizza was alright but the pasta (especially Carbonara) lacked authenticity and does not taste like pasta at all !!! Would never come back again unless it's for the desserts which were decent.

15 pounds for a terrible carbonara pasta This is not a real carbonara and please change the price

Deliveroo - Quick Pizza -It was way underbaked, not appetising to look at, lukewarm and inedible.

Got a home delivery bolognese it was pretty much oily pasta,with no Bolognese…. Can’t see how to post photos???

On entry we were immediately greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table. The waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on menu items. Food was if excellent quality and quickly served. I would highly recommend

Ich war überwältigt von der professionellen freundlichen Art des Service-Personals. Das ist kaum zu toppen! Die bestellte Pizza war schnell da und hat sehr gut geschmeckt!

0 stars for food. Probably the worst food I have ever had. It's hard to mess up chicken wings, but they find a way. Calamari is soggy and terrible. It's a frozen product for sure. Way overpriced. I would be embarrassed to work there. Avoid this place...you will be glad you did. Awful

Very nice staff. Magda very helpful. Thank you very much

Great value for money. Good food and service.

Am I too demanding? I would just like to get what I pay for. As a reminder, 2 adults and 2 children. 2 kids menu Garlic bread, pizza, ice cream and apple juice. Garlic bread, pasta bolognaise, ice cream and orange juice. Spicy sausage + red wine Chicken Milanese + red wine So, let's go. looking back to the photos, all looks good and well cooked. At first, as usual order taken and served quickly with drinks and kids starters. First bad point, the garlic bread was plastic. A bite and it doesn't cut. You have to scrub it. Second, the wait. Did we ordered so special that our meals need to be prepared and cooked for so long. It would have taken us more than one hour wait if we didn't ask. Just when we left a note was at the door saying that due to shortage in staff the wait would be longer than expected. Third and the worst, a hair in the Milanese. I was exhausted, it cut appetites. I said to myself it wasn't worst to waist any more time in there to ask for another hour. Are the sieved light another way to mask the food freshness? I think so. I thought my previous experiences within Bella Italia was isolated. Unfortunately I strongly feel that there's no proper chef. And all can be for chopping frozen pizza, boiling pasta and reheat sauce. To whom it may concerns. Dom

Superb. Great decor, lovely atmosphere. Attentive friendly staff and beautiful food at reasonable prices. Thankyou.

3 course eet menu very good food.

Delivery Order: The food arrived on time and it was hot The proportions though for how much it costs were ridiculous. The pizza was 10 inches at best and was about 15 pounds the pasta portion was about the same and very small. Portion of chips was tiny. It was nice but was not good value for money at all.

Me and my friends came here for one the girls birthday dinners, we were a group of seven. The waitress serving us was lovely however the service was slow. It took 30 minutes for our starters to come out and we had only ordered a portion of chips and a few flat breads. A family of four and two couples who came in after us were getting served their food beforehand. It then took another 30 minutes for our mains to come, one of the orders was wrong, my friend ordered a lasagne pizza however received lasagne pasta. Kindly the gave her lasagne pizza, no charge. I understand that you are understaffed but serving families that come in after is annoying.

The menu was extensive and we opted for pizza which was delicious. The staff were lovely, as were the cocktails.

The waitress that served me was great and the Malbec was ok. They had run out of loads of stuff so I just ordered a pizza (with mushrooms sorry run out!) I preferred the Aldi pizza I had to this one it was tasteless without doubt the worst Bella I’ve ever eaten in I won’t be going into anymore.

Perfect - excellent customer service and the best GF pizza I have ever had.

I went with my elderly mother, and ordered pizza for myself and risotto for my mother. The waitress came back to say there was no risotto. I then helped my mother to choose again, and she selected a lentil bolognese. Someone came back to say they didn't have any. I had to help my mother make a third selection. I can safely say that my pizza was revolting. It came with a serated knife. I discovered why it was thought I would need a serrated knife. I had to saw furiously to get through the base. In the end, I had to chew pieces off. See photo showing the base. Having waited so long for the food, I couldn't be bothered taking issue with the state of it. We left as soon as we could. Never again.

Lovely food great vibes Busy place staff friendly Sp best pre book a table to save been disappointed

Real Italian restaurant. The waitress was so kind. We told her we are Jewish and doesn't mix meat and dairy so ahe carefully thought what can we order and told us which dishes they can modify for us. The food was just great. So tasty.

Was lucky enough to get a table on a sat early evening without booking, pre book advisable! Lovely restaurant in the heart of Inverness. Service was quick and friendly, advising of any change to the menu, also asking If anyone had allergies they had to be aware of. The restaurant filled up really quickly, some people having to be turned away, which is a good sign to how good this place is! Food is delicious, the pizza was super tasty with the most amazing base. 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 beers and water £50+ Will definitely be back!

We didn’t plan on stopping here, but everything else was either closed or just about to close. We were seated quickly before a rush of people came in. We got the Nach-iolis (deep fried raviolis), carbonara, and the chicken Milanese. We ended up sharing everything because it was so good! They were clearly understaffed just like everywhere else right now but we got our food more quickly than we thought we would. There were 4 people serving food (we believe one was the manager, one was the hostess, and one was a bartender) but they were all very nice! I definitely recommend this place but just keep in mind that the servers are constantly moving and may not spend much time at your table or check on you as often.

Pâtes bonne mais Pizza un peu sèche

A nice place to eat italian food

We stopped in here for dinner since we had our fill of fish and chips while on our tour. We ordered the Bruschetta as a starter and the Lasagna and Gnocchi Bites for our main, along with a very nice bottle of red wine. Very good and I would recommend this restaurant.

Great meal and very good value for money. Good options for vegans also 😊

Sehr lecker gegessen, guter Service und bedenkenlos zu empfehlen!

Lloc tranquil tradicional. Cal vigilar el compte ja que t'inclouen un 10% de propina , que és opcional, però amb lletra petita.

The food was a bit mediocre, and I was very disappointed with my Caesar salad 🥗 and both cocktails 🍸 that I had, ie a mojito and martini...

Large portions, food is ok. Service is mediocre.

Have been twice. Sadly same feedback. Good clean required especially of paintwork leading to bathrooms. Bathrooms require attention also. Food good, service friendly bit slow. Due to lack of staff. Shortage of what was advertised on menu

Service was good, but the food was just okay. I wouldn't put it on my list of places in Inverness to eat.

Great food in a lovely restaurant!

Lovely restaurant, great food. Loved the new nachos and cheesecake. Service was friendly without being over the top.

Had vegan and glutenfree lentil ragu, not meant to be spicy at all, since I suffer from IBS. It was SO spicy, even my partner, who is used to spicy food, found it very spicy. I asked for a replacement (plain fries) and they took...

Crockery was dirty, had to ask for replacement. Service very bad, staff unfriendly. My food was way too spicy, completely over seasoned, I asked for replacement and the staff started arguing with me in front of all the other guests. Very poor customer service. I was treated so disrespectfully and was charged for both dishes. Only after a lenghty discussion, and the waitress raising her voice, I was eventually able to only pay for the food I had eaten. Not coming here again!

Het was prima, er liep alleen een serveerster rond Magda genaamd. Die liep als een dolle door de zaak, een beetje crazy

My husband and I had dinner here recently. We did have a reservation (thank goodness) as sit was very busy. I ordered the pizza and my husband had the spaghetti & meatballs. They were both good, but nothing special. Our server was adorable and so...
