Bella Italia Ristorante in Scarborough

We booked a table for a Friday night (advisable as it is a fairly small restaurant) and it was our first visit but had been recommended by friends. The food was excellent, very tasty. There was a specials menu in addition to the usual menu. The house red wine was also superb. Considering it was very busy, the service was also excellent. Our table was ready and waiting and we were served promptly. The cost was very reasonable considering the quality of the meals (and we had a bottle of house red). Definitely a great place to go for a meal if visiting Filey.

Family run restaurant and it shows, excellent as always!

Best italian resteraunt in filey, excellent every time we visit

Forgot to book but called on the offchance.they were pretty full but Manaaged to sqeeze the both of us in.food service was exellent definately come back if up this way again .

Lovely Italian with home cooked food. Tirisami is so good. Highly recommend. 15 of us tonight service very good 🥰 xx

Nice little family restaurant great food and service

The carbonara wasn’t amazing, the pancetta was very undercooked and needed a bit more time on the frying pan. The atmosphere was very good and the service was good, I just wasn’t particularly blown away by the food. Maybe it was an odd day :/

Furst time hee and deficiency will return when in Filey next. We shared a starter of garlic bread with stilton and beef carapace with rocket and parmesan which was on special. Both were delicious. Mains we had fillet steak with sauteed mushroom and onions in a rich tomato and stilton sauce which surrounded the fillet. On top of the fillet was also melted stilton and fresh cherry tomatoes. Absolutely delicious, my husband had. He special pizza with Nduja and broccoli. We couldn't manage a pudding but the cheesecake looked deep and indulgent. Lovely food and great service from all staff. Will look forward to our return

We made an impromptu visit and staff were very accommodating and managed to seat us on what looked to be a very busy Friday night. They were so friendly, food was excellent and also very reasonably priced. We would definitely visit again.

Had a really great meal. Lovely service. Good food. Well worth searching for.

Genuinely delicious tasting food in an authentic Italian run restaurant. Visited here fairly regularly over the years, friendly atmosphere and owners, + staff. It’s the go to place for good food and service. Nice selection on the menu and some specials. Worth a visit, best to book in advance, as it’s usually full! I doubt you’ll find better. 👍.

Found this amazing little place from Italy in Filey. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious . Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Filey

Visited tonight as a family with two young children one who ate most of his bolognaise he loved it and also was wearing some- the other was slightly less messy but made up for it as he was a little louder- we had the most gorgeous food and were made to feel so welcome as always - thankyou so much xxx

Lovely food, great service, spotlessly clean. Great atmosphere.

Lovely food. Hostess objected to us playing cards before the food arrived, essential to regulate our teenage autistic son, and rudely pushed the garlic bread into the centre of the table knocking over the card deck, stating that he is an adult now. Unbelievable lack of respect and empathy.

Absolutely fantastic food, good atmosphere Loads of interaction the staff

Again what a fantastic little restaurant this is the second time we have dined here Booking is advisable Lovely home cooked Italian food with an open kitchen very friendly and attentive you won't be disappointed

Really good food, good prices, Great service. Only downside, arrive early there is no where to wait.

Intimate restaurant with wonderful food relaxed atmosphere

As regular tourists to the area, this was our first time dining here, and I can't fault it. It's absolutely fabulous. Friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. The staff were very welcoming and amazing with my four children. The food was perfect, and the portion size was decent too. I wish we'd have tried it sooner, we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

We visited as a family of 8 whilst holidaying at The Bay. Fabulous food and wine, wonderful friendly staff and Rosella you made us feel like family. Looking forward to our next visit.

Fantastic! One of my new favourite places to eat. The staff were so friendly, great atmosphere, delicious food and such reasonable prices. We cannot thank them enough for this evening, it was lovely. See you again soon!

A brilliant spot. Great authentic and traditional restaurant with very good service and absolutely delicious pizza. Great atmosphere and evening had by us all! Would 100% recommend and return. I just wish it was nearer to us! Lucky Filey!

We visited on a busy Friday night. My grandson has many allergies but the staff could not have been more helpful. He had gluten free pasta with home made bolognaise sauce and he said it was great. Two of us had pizzas which were excellent. Great food and fantastic staff. Thank you

Lovely family run restaurant excellent food good prices and great selection

Food perfect, staff always wonderful.

Been to this lovely authentic restaurant many times, never disappointed

Stumbled across this little gem of a Italian restaurant and all I can say is if you are in filey try it absolutely amazing 👏 🤩

We visited here in August 2023 as a family of four adults. We have eaten here quite a few times and really enjoy the friendly atmosphere and cosy feeling of the place. We all had starters and a main course and dessert, however, one of our party is a Vegetarian and they did find the menu options very limited in choice for them. For instance their only choices on offer for the main course were a linguini pasta in a tomato sauce or a choice of two pizzas which we find in these days is quite a poor option. Whilst the food is tasty we do feel that an adult ought to have more choice than either a pasta dish or pizza for their main course. We therefore hope that in the future their chef could offer some other tasty dishes for vegetarians.

Traditional Italian restaurant. The food is delicious and you get a good sized portion. Friendly staff and owner. Great atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

What a lovely place, hidden away. I've visited Filey many times and missed this hidden gem. Lovely place, nice atmosphere and great food! Now I've found it, I'll be back . I’ve returned again, lovely food, lovely host and chocolate and orange cake with ice cream to finish the evening meal off 👏👏 Till next time 😋

Called for takeaway pizza... delicious

Very good Italian food, great hostess, she taught us some Italian, we had home made lasagne, salmone aromatico, risotto and carobanara, all cooked to perfection and very tasty. Would visit again if in the area.

As always everything was second to none, thank you.

Loved it, great food lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Myself and my husband had a lovely evening, we both had Lasagna, best we’ve had, a side order of Garlic pizza bread with cheese was really delicious. Friendly staff and Rosella made us feel very special, will definitely be back in May.

Excellent food and service ‘a proper Italian’! Everything was very fresh and the staff were lovely. Highly recommended

Fantastic family run restaurant. Pizza's to die for and a great atmosphere.

We never miss out on dinner here. The food is lovely as are the owners Rosella and Salvatore. Tucked away, you might just miss it but seek it out and enjoy!!

We chose pasta dishes. Very disappointing , there was nothing authentic , cheep frozen chicken and mushrooms made the meal extremely bland and tasteless. Lasagne was piping hot on the outside Luke warm in the middle. Pizzas looked nice though.

Firstly thank you for accommodating us on just turning up without a reservation and secondly the food was amazing, truly one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever been too , and thirdly the staff and chefs are very polite , a truly amazing restaurant with amazing service, thank you .

A very popular traditional Italian restaurant. Based on our experience (we visited twice in our 6 night stay in Filey) you need to book. Good wine list, interesting dishes and excellent service.

We had two pizzas to takeaway. Even though the restaurant was super busy they managed to squeeze us in which we really appreciated. They were that good we went back again 2 days later. Grazie mille!

What a little gem here in little old Filey. The food is always superb. The owners, Rosella and Salvatore and all their staff are superb. Nothing is too much trouble. I can highly recommend this restaurant!

Perfect meal saff very friendly 😋

Visited whilst down on holiday with friends, everything from the service to quality of the food was brilliant. Definitely worth a visit if your on the east coast of Yorkshire

No wonder this place is so popular. Great food, can highly recommend the filet steak. We went out of season but it was really busy. Booking certainly advised.

Lovely attentive staff, great food at average prices

Amazing, an hidden gem. Lovely food with good service 👏 chocolate and orange cake yum yum. Lovely atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was excellent too. Would recommend.

Fabulous authentic Italian food, from an Italian family run restaurant. I had Bruschetta, a porcini mushroom risotto and Tiramisu - yum!

Fabulous food. Four of us all chose different starters and mains and we were all delighted with our choices. We will definitely return.

Fabulous food, real Italian flavours. Great service and a pleasant atmosphere. Two couples, eight different dishes ( starters and mains). Every single dish was superb, we all agreed we would be back in the near future.

Excellent Italian cuisine, good menu choice, very friendly people, will always try to find you a table, great atmosphere.

Fantastic efficient service, Great food and wine menu, and wonderful response when we mis-ordered our steak. My first Filey dining out experience. Definitely coming back.

We have visited this Italian restaurant previously when having a holiday in Filey and thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately this year our meal was disappointingly ruined by an entertaining band turning up when we had finished our main course. The band was very rude and pressured restaurant guests for tips shoving their hat in the faces of customers who were enjoying meals! I found this very rude behaviour and disappointing that it was allowed by the restaurant, our previous visit did not encounter this experience and our meal was left ruined. I feel it is such a shame as the food and staff are lovely , however the rudeness of the band and atmosphere they caused has put us off returning. Please be aware if you are attending a meal that a band may turn up through the door and beg for tips.

Authentic home cooked Italian food at reasonable prices, we make a point of calling when in Filey. Best to book. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing restaurant with authentic Italian food made by Italians and hosted by Italians. Will go again, in fact we try to come every time we are in Filey. Love it here.

Six of us came on a Saturday. It was busy but we didn't have too long to wait for food or drinks though the servers weren't very friendly. Bruschetta and garlic bread to start which was average. I had the linguine with prawns and zucchini which is my favourite dish. It was pleasant but not as good as the one I'd had at another Italian in Filey. I ordered a side salad which was just some pale lettuce and wasn't eaten. My husband had salmon and was very happy with it, it came with a dish of veg and was plentiful.

As usual the food and service were first class, the only issue was the table adjacent to us who were rude to the waiting staff without cause. The steaks are without doubt the best in Filey and the Lasagne is definitely home made. We always eat here when in Filey and have never been disappointed. It’s unfortunate that on this accession we had to witness other customers being abrupt and rude to the staff.

The food was very nice! Unfortunately the service was incredibly slow & the staff were rude! Our food was 45 mins late and the excuse - "cant you see that we are busy? " was said with No apology or explanation! We had basic menu dishes - nothing special - and neither the surly waitress nor the lady owner made any effort to be polite! Shame - nice restaurant - ruined by rude customer service!

You couldn't wish for a better service and culinary wizardry

The salmon was delicious but make sure you like olives and capers as well!

Great place. Its busyness suggests how good it is.

This restaurant is just superb from start to finish. The quality of the food is great and a superb menu including Gluten Free options. The pizza bases are just right and a fantastic choice of toppings. Prices are reasonable and service good.

Proper Italian restaurant, always good food & atmosphere. Always full so make sure you book beforehand 🤭

Didn't book as it was Tuesday night. Table for 4. Seated straight away. Seemed like a family restaurant. Knowledgeable about wine and food. Lovely friendly atmosphere, nice to see families with very well behaved children eating there. Food was cooked beautifully. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great food and atmosphere, very pleasant staff in this busy little restaurant, food was of a delicious standard and did not take long to be served. Had a large round table for 9 at window which was perfect. Overall excellent, pizza was fab 🙋‍♂️

Really nice food and excellent service

Really enjoyed the authentic tasty food we all had specials and very large portions .great beer choice and lovely desserts. We even had entertainment from a italian mariachi style band . We had a great night would definitely go again book early to get a table

We stayed at a nearby Haven and decided to come here for dinner. The food was great, real authentic Italian food. Even the ice cream was amazing! They also were really good with our young child, who was the only child there and a little bit restless! Would definitely go again.

Nice food ,friendly staff good value

Wow! Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and superb food.

Simple really everything tasted bloody lovely 👌

Visited Tuesday 6th June. Very busy but the staff still had time to greet us. The food was freshly cooked and really delicious. The desserts were to die for. All in all a very pleasant experience. We will definitely book again.

We was on hoilday this. Week and we came here for meal is was amazing food. People who work there. Was very friendly too I highly recommend this place if down there. For holiday. We be going back many thanks too u guys amazing place xx❤

What a find. Wish we had found it on day one of our trip. The food was delicious fresh well cooked and very reasonably priced. The place was spotlessly clean and the staff were so friendly and professional it made our evening perfect. I would definitely recommend the meat balls. Absolutely fantastic food. We will be back.

Absolutely loved this place, food incredible, staff so friendly and funny and very reasonably priced🙂

Wow what such a aggressive hostile host, this lady really needs some manners, once she realised we were not going to order a very overpriced and poor quality product of wine, the atmosphere for service at our table chilled,food was very average and way overpriced,...

Lovely place great for, all just that you would expect from an Italian restaurant

Great food and great friendly service. A must dining experience if staying in Filey but booking advised especially during main holiday periods.

Lovely Italian restaurant with gluten free options. Friendly staff.

Great little restaurant and the food is outstanding.

Unbelievable little find. Stopped off at Filey, had a little walk around and popped into this authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommended the meatballs, the tomatoes based sause is to die for. Staff ate wonderful, to top it all a quartet came in playing music!!!! Great night. I recommend the merit.

Great place, lovely food and a warm welcome - the food was well priced and delicious, homemade pasta & a good range of special dishes. We would recommend to anyone staying in Filey!

Really good Italian food as it should be!!

Went here while on holiday and we weren't disappointed. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent and the service was brilliant. Advance booking is recommended as this restaurant is very popular. We will definitely go back in the near future.
