Bella Italia Leeds in Leeds

I visited last night with my husband (no booking) & we were seated straight away. The food was great, fast to be cooked and super tasty. Portion sizing was good too. Our server Mel was lovely and very friendly. The restaurant had a warm cosy vibe (especially as we had been out walking in the rain) making it easy to relax and enjoy our food. The pricing is very reasonable too especially for the quality of the food. I would definitely visit again in the future 👌🏻

Popped in for some food for my Grandma's 80th. All the staff were super accomadating and friendly, The food was spot on and arrived quickly, atmosphere was top notch, and all this while the place was rammed without a free table in sight! Genuinely some of the best service I've ever recieved. 🙌

Fantastic food, great veggie and vegan options, and the loveliest staff! Mel was fantastic and we'll definitely come back!

The food here is amazing and the service by Mel is exceptional. The food was to die for and came out quick. Would recommend to anyone with a taste for Italian food and amazing service

Lovely food & drinks and really kind and caring service from Mel! Thank you :)

Lovely visit to Bella Italia tonight before a gig at the arena! Mel was lovely and provided quick and great service! Would definitely recommend & come back when in Leeds :)

Great visit, and lovely food. Server Mel was wonderful!

Mel was mint, Mel was gave the best service, will come again.

Brilliant experience, food was amazing and up to standard. Our server was Mel and she did amazing. Thank you, would recommend.

Our waitress this evening Mel was amazing, she was very attentive and the food was fast and very tasty!! I love this place thank you for having us❤️

Really great service from Mel who assisted with our Blue Light discount as we had not realised the rules around this use. Really good quality food and great, swift service! Thank you!

Was a lovely place all the staff were really nice and the food was amazing! very happy will definitely come again!

Came across this restaurant on a day trip, 5 ladies from the north east, lovely warm welcome from the staff, food and drinks excellent, hot and tasty, value for money 2 course special menu we had.

We were really looked after by Mel during our meal, very quick service and the food was delicious. We will be back. Thankyou to all the staff

Amazing team, friendly service, phenomenal food as always. Our firm favourite as a family. Always clean. Nothing is ever any trouble

Very busy Saturday evening but served very quickly and efficiently by Gaia, who was delightful. The food was very good but the evening was made special by the service. Great!

Mel was the server, very nice food,

The food is delicious, maybe they should spend more time in teaching their waiters to be more polite. To a certain waiter: Good for U, ruining a good restaurant.

Mel served us today and was very friendly and attentive. Brilliant service x

Our server was Mel, she was spot on. Really really lovely, fabulous for advice on the menu, quick etc. Really lovely

Great food excellent standard of service pleasant friendly place to eat

Good food with great calamari, pasta dishes were tasty and not over or under cooked. Thanks guys

Really happy with the service, price and meal. The Maitre D went the extra mile to give us a good offer/service.

Great food and excellent service

The food was average, nothing special and brownie is a bit bland. Richard, one of the server is not welcoming. I booked a table and upon arriving, he wants to put us on a corner seat. However, my husband ask for a bigger seat and we were told we can only have a single table just for two. People arrived after us and they were given bigger tables though they are company of two as well. Very disappointing! Won’t comeback and will not recommend to our friends.

Waitress was incredible. Very bubbly, friendly and informative. First visit to Bella Italia and it won’t be my last. Waitress name was Kayleigh, she deserves a raise.

Excellent server kayleigh very polite, welcoming and helpful

We just came here tonight for a friends birthday, so patient and accommodating, they brought out a cake and lit the candles for us, very helpful letting us split the bill 12 ways😆😆 brilliant service and food!!

Lovely last minute meal here tonight. Quick and fabulous service from Mel who looked after us very well this evening. Anna was also very friendly and helped answer all our questions and made us feel very welcome.

Amazing experience. It was very welcoming and the food was a delight. Excellent dining experience

Great meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to our waitress Mel for making us feel welcome. We will be back next time we visit Leeds

Prompt service, great food and friendly customer service. Only here on a Christmas shopping trip and we come every year only to Bella Italia.

I recently had an amazing experience at Bella Italia, thanks to Kayleigh! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. She was attentive, friendly, and had such a warm, positive energy that really made the dining experience special. Kayleigh recommended some delicious dishes and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality, and she truly made our visit memorable. Thank you, Kayleigh! We’ll definitely be back soon!

Kayleigh was a lovely host! Excellent customer service!

We had a fantastic meal for a large party. All food was delicious, our waiter was patient and attentive and food came out within a reasonable time and was devoured by everyone!

Treated to a fantastic meal and served with bucket loads of northern charm & humour by Kayleigh - keep doing what you're doing

Pedí el tortellini de carne y vino tinto y me gustó mucho. El servicio fue muy rápido y nuestro camarero era muy amable!

Fab service from Anna and Richard. Food was so fast too

Went in for a date night, staff were friendly and polite. Took allergens seriously, and explained how to find more info. Ordering was swift and was quick to arrive even though busy. Food was amazing, absolutely amazing. Only thing that could have been better was payment, took a tad too long. Waiter to had to take my phone to there terminals to process my Tastecard - should be brought to table etc. Otherwise, cannot fault it.

I would just like to put this review to express how good of an experience this has been. The service was impeccable. While it was a weekday so wasn't as particularly busy, it meant the FoH and our waiter, Craig, was so eager to make our meal as good as it was after we mentioned it was my partners birthday. As a managers courtesy, they even offered my partner some prosseco. There was no reservation, and to have this service and good food at the end of the day really made mine and our partners evening. Would highly recommend. (Especially the dough balls!)

Mel served us today. We had a really enjoyable meal and was great and really quick service. All staff were lovely and food was delish! Would deffo recommend.

Myself and my family had a great time! Food was great, drinks were great, service was great and all round we had a great time.

Lovely food. Lovely service. 5 minutes walk from the station. Spot on.

Cena en | Cena | £ 30 – 40 Fui a Bella Italia para una cena con mis hijos para disfrutar del sabor italiano, pero no había nada que te hiciera sentir como Italia. Típico ambiente inglés. Como entrada pedí bruscheta. Mamá mía, no era una bruscheta, solo pan con tomates picados. ¡Escándalo! De todos modos, pedí Lasaña, pero no fue Lasaña. Era solo crema de tomate, souce y beshamel, mezclados entre sí, solo 2 piezas de pastel de lasaña. Muy mala calidad de la comida. Yo, mejor compro una Lasanga en Lidl y la cocino en casa y es muyyyy deliciosa y auténtica comida italiana, en absoluto como Bella Italia Lasaña. Nunca volveré allí y no recomiendo como buen restaurador en el centro de Leeds y le diré a todos los que conozco que no malgasten el dinero en este lugar. El personal no era tan amable, me estaba empujando a ordenar inmediatamente sin tener que mirar el menú primero. Antes de cocinar los platos italianos, asegúrese de que el chef conoce el primo italiano y la cultura, asegúrese de que el chef ha probado antes que el primo italiano fabuloso. ¡Gracias! Alimentos: 1 / 5 | Servicio: 2 / 5 | Atmósfera: 1 / 5

My wife and I both ordered the two-course set menu. The set menu was reasonably priced and definitely worth trying. All the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. The meatballs were flavorful, especially with the tomato sauce. The pizza crust was light and crispy, and even finishing a whole pizza on your own didn’t feel too heavy. The pasta paired perfectly with the cheese. We will definitely come back again.

I want to Bella Italia for a dinner with my children to enjoy the Italian taste, but there was not nothing to make you feel like Italy. Tipical English athmosfere. As starter I ordered bruscheta. Mamma mia, it was not a bruscheta, only bread with chooped tomatoes. Scandal! Anyway, I ordered Lasagna, but it was not Lasagna. It was just cream of tomatoes souce and beshamel, mixed up together, just 2 pieces of Lasagna pastrey. So, very bad food quality. I, better buy a Lasanga at Lidl and bake it home and it is veryyyy delicious and authentic italian food, not at all like Bella Italia Lasagna. I will never go back there and I don't recomand as a good restorant in the centre of Leedd and I will tell to everybody I know to not waste the money on this place. The staff was not that friendly, he was pushing me to order immediately without having a look at the menu first. Before to cook the italian dishes, please be sure that the chef knoes the italian cousine and coulture, be sure that the chef have tasted befire the italian fabulous cousine. Thank you!

First ever visit and so lovely it was too .service was top notch as was the food and staff .definitely will dine here again in the very near future. Highly recommended 😊👍.

Our server Mel was amazing to us and made our dinning experience feel very personal and comfortable

Fantastic staff and food. Server Mel.

I came with my music class before the going to the opera and it was all very efficient and great service! We had plenty of time and really enjoyed the evening.

Food was delicious and great service. They made our anniversary special with a round of complimentary drinks and Kayleigh was really friendly and personable. She should have a payrise as she is an asset to the restaurant.

Absolutely lovely food great service and our waitress Mel was absolutely lovely very friendly and was so helpful would definitely recommend to come if you in Leeds

Food was amazing ! would definitely recommend coming here , really friendly staff and Mel was very welcoming.

Mel was absolutely amazing. Had so much banter with her. We were a family who don't get to see each other much, so she made the day amazing. 5 out of 5. Would definitely recommend.

Excelente servicio de una joven llamada Gaia no podíamos culparla en absoluto. La comida era deliciosa como siempre y muy buena relación calidad-precio.

Oh my goodness! The three course set menu was absolutely delicious. We had dough balls, Chicken Milanese and tiramisu. We are overly impressed with the quality of the food, wine and staff! Bella Italia Leeds is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal!

We unexpectedly dropped in without a booking and were greeted by Kaley, the manager, and one of the servers working the evening. While ordering and eating, everyone was beyond accommodating, incredibly polite, and well informed about their food, and the overall dining experience was lovely. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

I work as lead chaperone looking after children performing for an opera production taking place at Leeds Grand Theatre. As a treat for the kids during the long rehearsal days we took them to Bella Italia for food! Everything was fab, the staff was super friendly, allergies and intolerances were dealt with perfectly, the food came out promptly, and the kids absolutely loved it. Many thanks to those who looked after us while we were there!

Lovely food. Good service. Used blue card discount. Will go again

Mel and Gaia were amazing service was amazing

Really cute restaurant, lovely staff - Mel + Gaia

Lovely service from Mel & Gaia, thank you so much xxx

I think I had the greatest experience here today I was with my fellow colleagues celebrating and received kind service from mel and Gaia and they offered shots for free which was a kind gesture I would recommend this restaurant to everyone

Food was great and our server Kayleigh was very helpful and recommended us items from the menu that turned out to be great choices. Along with making sure everything was safe with my gf’s food allergy. Great staff 👍🏼👍🏼

Friendly attentive staff, good food and service. Early, midweek pre-theatre dinner so lacked atmosphere as restaurant was quiet.

Great menu, lovely staff, great atmosphere!

We were served by Mel, she’s super Charismatic and lovely, Great food and drinks! Definitely recommend <3 Thanks Mel for the fantastic service :)))

This is my favourite branch of Bella. The food is as good as you would expect (rigatoni followed by affogato today). What raises this Bella above others for me is the particularly excellent staff. My server this evening (Kayleigh) was absolutely terrific and she is most definitely an asset to this branch.

We had a large group and Richard was our server, was very accomodating and amazing. thansk for the great night!

Very nice food. Great efficient service for 14 of us. Richard single handedly served us with a full restaurant like a pro!

Great choice of gluten free food & great service 👍😃

Cheerful friendly staff attentive and helpful x

Amazing experience. We got served by Ruben, who was absolutely brilliant. The food was super yummy and Ruben gave me all the cheese of my dreams for my pasta. Absolutely worth visiting. Thank you Ruben!!

Tai... amazing young man with a bright future ahead. Attentive and kind, excellent waiter and customer service, zero glitches. Bella Italia, we hope you recognise the talent you have. Top notch!

mi pareja y yo reservamos una mesa en este establecimiento para nuestro aniversario/ cumpleaños , mi pareja tiene alérgenos y trató de explicar esto al camarero me dieron un menú así que era mi pareja los dos tratamos de explicar cuáles son sus alérgenos. Luego el camarero apresuró su decisión después de decirle lo que podía y no podía comer no le dio a elegir lo que podía comer. abruptamente volvió a la mesa más de una vez para seguir diciéndole que no podía tener su primera opción, luego la segunda opción, NO nos ofrecieron una alternativa a lo que podía tener. esto hizo que mi pareja muy molesto hasta el punto de que la hizo llorar lo que arruinó la ocasión.

Every visit, without a doubt we have quick, friendly service. We're always welcomed with a warm smile. We get our food quick, and hot (and to excellent standards). The place is always ever so cosy, with top notch cleanliness. The payment process is quick and the pricing is amazing for what we order. It was our anniversary, and when we were seated into a booth the man seating us said 'a little birdy told me you should look at that card'. It was a congratulations note with a complimentary prosecco or desert. It absolutely made our evening!

Excellent food and service. Gaia was excellent and really made us feel welcome

First time in Leeds Bella Italia, absolutely fab service from Georgina, she was so lovely, bubbly and welcoming, made me feel right at home!! Thank you Gee x

Great service by Dia and Georgia

Our server Gee made sure our time in here was incredible. Will definitely be coming back!!!

Good choice of food for all the family.

Mel served us today , very attentive Food was delicious

Excellent service by all staff especially mel will definitely return

Ruben was fantastic, friendly and helpful, a lovely guy.

Brilliant service and delicious food!

We had a super time here, kayleigh was our waitress who was most attentive , she was of a very happy nature always smiling and nothing was too much trouble, when I was unsure about what lager to have. She explained the strengths . We will be back. X

Service was good, nice warm and friendly with a smile.

Really really good experience. Food was superb, our waitress Geia? was fantastic. Friendly and efficient, she brought dishes for eight people and placed the correct one in front of each diner without having to ask who had ordered what. She is an asset to any hospitality venue.

I ate at Bella Italia, Leeds Briggate with a friend on Saturday to celebrate my Birthday and from the moment I walked in this was a terrible experience. While the food was of the expected standard I was certainly unimpressed by the service, which is a shame as previously the service at this location has been solid. I just wish I had noted the name of the chap who served us so I could provide this to local Management as I doubt I'll be going back here anytime soon.

Rich and everyone a part of the team on Thursday evening for my graduation dinner were amazing!

18th June 2024 had an amazing meal with great service from our server Richard.

Prices almost doubled over the last years. Outside is like a scene from the film Zulu. A large group of loud and menacing men on electric scooters. An unpleasant area.

Gaia was the perfect waitress. So helpful, lovely, friendly, and chatty. Couldnt have asked for any more- she was fantastic!

Great food and great service by Gaia.

Loved it! Particular praise for Kayleigh who made us most welcome.

Food was awesome, looked after by Kayleigh who seated us immediately and made sure we were well looked after all throughout our visit

Kayleigh was our server and she was fantastic. We had our little girl with us and nothing was too much for her even getting extra olives for our 2 year old🤣. Very friendly. Definitely will be back!!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, Mel was amazing and had such great service. Highly recommend!

Elena and Jack were amazing. Very accommodating for us and looked after our large group. Would reccomend thank you :)

I am gluten free and they accommodated me very well. The atmosphere was great and Mel (the waitress) was fantastic. Would recommend
