Bella Italia - Salford Quays in Salford

Laura was lovely attentive very friendly

Laura offered excellent customer service. Our table was looked after attentively. Food excellent.

Maisie , was absolutely wonderful , super pleasant and friendly and so welcoming Will for sure come back again!!!!

Yiannis was our waiter who looked after us brilliantly, including squeezing us in when we hadn’t booked on a theatre night at the Lowry

The food was very good and we were well looked after by our server Joanna

Called in to Bella Italia for a spot of lunch. Excellent food and service. Waitress, Joanne,very helpful,polite and friendly. Not many dining but still good atmosphere. 👌

It was a cold, rainy day and the restaurant was a warm cosy space to enjoy the hot and delicious food. All the dishes we ordered were really delectable with good portion sizes.

Good as always. Yuannis friendly and helpful.

Food was very bad, we ordered the margarita pizza and it tasted very cheap. Definitely not restaurant quality. The mushroom risotto was just ok. And the Tiramisu was not authentic at all. It was bad and I had better store bought ones. Overall I was very disappointed with the food.

Great food and great service from Yiannis. Thanks

Very reasonably priced good quality food

A fabulous meal. I had the garden salad with chicken & a side of coleslaw which was delicious. We also ordered lasagne and a spicy nduja & sausage pizza which were also really good. Staff were excellent.

Everything was great from start to finish although the restaurant was very busy. Our server Yiannis was really helpful, quick, and super friendly. We would recommend a great value meal and service at this specific restaurant. We are never disappointed here.

Beautiful food and friendly, helpful staff as always!

Salma was the server and she was very polite, helpful and fab at her job. Excellent meal and customer service.

Delicious food and impeccable service from Sukaina and Yiannis.

Five star service from Joanna. Despite the restaurant being full she was so professional, helpful, polite and friendly - thank again Joanna.

Came to salford & ate here twice. Two excellent waiters - Yiannis & sorry, cant remember previous nights waiter. So friendly & accomodating.

Absolutely amazing customer service from Sukaina today. Completely went above and beyond for us to accommodate us with our baby and my gluten allergy. Very kindly went and found us something we could feel the baby which I was absolutely blown away by. A Credit to the team at this restaurant. Thank you

Yiannis was excellent! Great service and wonderful host.

Great food and lovely staff. Plenty of gluten free options too!

Went here for dinner before a concert on my own for the first time. Service was quick and I was served by Joanna who was lovely. Thanks :)

The staff was very good and helpful. Joanna our server was lovely and the food came out quickly even when the place was packed. Good place for lunch before the match.

Salma was really lovely and made sure we were happy with food and drinks the whole time.

I loved the food and the quality of service - Salma was supernice and helpful. Thanks guys

We waited ages for our starters then for our mains. My friends margherita pizza was just dough and tomato with barely any cheese. My calzone had a bone which nearly chocked me. We waited so long we cancelled the desserts and left. Never again.

Great experience all round. Yiannis was an amazing host and the food was incredible. Lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Joanna was a very nice and attentive server. Thanks x

Had a lovely server Joanna, very attentive and helpful! Showed us all the gelato flavours and took her time severing us without rushing even when it was just her on floor. Food was absolutely amazing, loved the new goat cheese pasta!

Friendly attentive staff with good service and food.

The refurbed interior makes this location is much better. The staff were very friendly and I loved the pasta dish I had. I would definitely go again when I go to the football as the central bay food court I tried at the start of the season was overpriced for poor quality.

Gorgeous restaurant food was excellent and ver y good service x Andy the waiter was excellent

Great food, decent value for money, such friendly, professional service, super atmosphere. Good wine too!

Terrible place. Worst Italian food I've ever had

I was very disheartened when I received my sticky toffee pudding it felt like they got a typical sponge added toffee sauce then placed it into a blender then microwaved it wahlaa, the most typical, pizza was ok, chicken fries was average, will never visit again

Georgia our waitress was really friendly and helpful

Fantastic service, great food Yannis is a star & a credit to the restaurant.

Usually visit before going to the Lowry Theatre so visits depend on what shows are on. Book in advance as can be very busy pre-show. We were served by Andy, who served us last time we were there. Good choice of food & drink, all served with a smile and attentiveness. No push on getting us to order, left us alone but was close by and ready when needed. Lovely touch of a Lemoncello offered at the ended Highly recommended.

This is the second visit to the Quays and we've eaten here both times. It's a friendly place with very good attentive staff. We would come back.

Great food great service really impressed Yiannis was really helpful and friendly. Hope he serves us next time!

Excellent combination of duck and sea bass served with extra dishes for sharing - friendly service

Amazing service Yiannis was lovely

Lovely staff .. great good.. fab service thank you

Enjoyable meal, great atmosphere. Thank you.

Fantastic food, Yiannis service was outstanding. Would highly recommend

We were served by Yiannis, who was very friendly and attentive. The food was good and arrived on time.

Great experience for my hen do. Yiannis looked after us and made our evening.

Lovely food and friendly staff Cocktails were nice too! Yiannis was very friendly and generous

Dylan was very pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent and Dylan made our meal special by being super helpful and friendly.

Our server Yiannis was lovely, nothing was too much trouble, Food was delicious and the cocktails really got the spot. Highly recommend the mushroom alnforno

Yiannis, our waiter was brilliant. So kind and attentive. Service was wonderful and efficient! Thankyou Yiannis!!!

A very nice restaurant with great food and choice. The whole experience was massively improved by our lovely server Dylan. He was so attentive and couldn't do enough for us, a great asset to this venue. Can't wait to return.

Food was great! Dylan our server is the most lovely social person thank you for a great experience

Great meal at Bella Italia and Dylan was a great server! Always checking we were happy and enjoying out meal! Thank you!

We went Sunday lunchtime and it was busy which is great to see as too many places are shutting down. Even though hre was rushed off his feet our server Dylan was amazing. So attentive. Very friendly. He was fabulous

We were seated quickly in a nice booth seat, so we felt we could relax as a family. We were served quickly. The kids portion sizes were just right and we enjoyed our food. Dylan was really friendly and helped my daughter choose her gelato selection after her meal.

3 of us had a lovely meal, 2 from the set menu, very good value and choice. Service by Yiannis was great!

The food was really good and Dylan was a fab waiter…very pleasant and helpful ☺️

Lovely meal before going to the Lowry. Special thankyou to Yiannis for being so friendly!

Great Vibes and Service, but Food Falls Short I recently visited Bella Italia, drawn in by its lively atmosphere. The ambiance did not disappoint—it's a charming spot. The service was excellent from start to finish, thanks to our waiter Dylan. The staff were friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring we had a great experience. Our server was knowledgeable and quick to accommodate any requests we had. Overall, Bella Italia is a good place if you're looking for a spot with a nice atmosphere and excellent service. However, if food is your main priority, you might find it a bit underwhelming.

Served quickly by very friendly staff. Good food and reasonable prices.

excellent service, food was quick to be served and friendly staff

Very nice and good friendly service

Had a meal here last week, our server Demi was lovely and helpful. Made the experience very positive. Would definitely return.

Very friendly service from Joanna and good food.

Such a lovely place to go for a meal all staff are friendly and willing to help you the food was amazing will be going back in the future 👍

Rubbish place - they kept us waiting for over an hour- I was so hungry ! I decided enough was enough and paid for our drinks and crappy starter then left —AVOID !!

Food was great, service was quick and efficient

Arrived for an early lunch on a Sunday, there was only one other table in the restaurant being served. There seemed to be a lot of confusion by the server who kept coming and going to ask about our order. There was a very long wait between starters and main and we watched as some people who arrived long after us ate 3 courses, paid and left. Once we'd finally eaten, it was again difficult trying to pay so we could leave. In the end we had to join a queue of others, who also couldn't seem to get the bill, stood at a till to pay. The food itself was nice once we got it but overall a bit of a disaster.

We were the 3rd table seated for lunch on a Saturday around 12 o clock. Our order was taken swiftly, although our menus were encrusted with food. Drinks turned up reasonably quickly too. The starters arrived well, although we got concerned during the starters when our waiter asked us to confirm one of our mains. The mains then took 45 minutes to arrive. In this time my pregnant wife and 4 year old child watched as 8 tables ate through 3 courses, paid and left. Our waiter offered us a free round of drinks as an apology, 3 minutes after the round we ordered arrived. (That we paid for). Our company during this time was the table next to us, who were first in the restaurant and were similarly waiting over an hour. When we finally got through our mains, an hour and a half after sitting down, we waited 10 minutes to pay while our waiter served ice cream to walk ins and spoke to friends outside. I ended up having to wait at the waiting station for another waitress who eventually took my money. The food was average and overpriced, the service was horrendous, the restaurant was dirty. I would avoid this one.

Our server Joanna was great! The food was insanely good, would 100% return

After heading straight there before the lunchtime rush we were disappointed to hear there were no walk-in tables available but well aware we should've booked we tried elsewhere with no joy. On our way back around we popped in on the off chance that there had been a cancellation and staff happily squeezed us in. So grateful to the brilliant staff who were clearly juggling kitchen issues and still doing a fantastic job! We were well attended to by smiley happy staff, dancing as they worked! Thanks again for helping us out of our lunchtime pickle.

Food was nice. Service was good as well. Dylan is very friendly .

Great friendly service by Yiannis who looked after us well. Lovely food great value for money

Everything was explained beautifully to us and food was grand and our server yiannis was incredible very friendly.. pay rise please

The food was phenomenal, one of the best Bella Italia’s. Yiannis was the best service ever! Would definitely come back again and again.

Yiannis is the absolute best, excellent service & manners 💯

Yiannis is amazing!!! We came here on Saturday and he served us so we came back on Thursday and to our delight he was here! Thank you Yiannis!

I booked Table for 5 Table no 3 515pm on 28th Yannis served our party and he went out of his way to help even taking a group photo We where a group of long time friends

My husband and I were served by Joanna who was a lovely person. Excellent service from her and very polite. Enjoyed our food.

We were served by Dylan who was very friendly and polite throughout our visit and attended to our needs. A very professional young man which made our visit at your restaurant very memorable.

Staff were friendly, restaurant was clean, food was good.

Food was delicious with lovely attentive service from Yiannis. Really enjoyed our visit would come again :)

Yiannis was attentive and made the whole dinning experience a dream. One of our favourite places

We were on a day visit to Salford Quays and called into the Bella Italia for lunch. The waitress on duty (Joanna) was quick, smart, polite and professional. The food was served quickly after ordering and was superbly presented and tasty. Will definitely use Bella Italia again.

We went to Bella Italia for a Celebratory meal as our Son had Graduated University. The food is delicious and plenty of it, Great Service as well from Yiannis who was very polite and very attentive to your order. Another plus was the very tasty Italian Brandy to finish the meal.

Great service (thanks, Yiannis). Lovely food.

Nice food, friendly staff - thank you

Yiannis was great, fantastic service. Lovely food, very accommodating. Heartily recommend 🍕

Yiannis was a lovely waiter. He was super friendly and created a comfortable experience and the lasagne was delicious.

Yannis was an exceptional server! The food was delicious!

Joanna was a lovely and prompt server, the food was quick and tasty, and the atmosphere was pleasant!

We visited for lunch on a Friday, was empty when we got there so got service straight away. I have a peanut allergy and this was taken very seriously, menu through the phone could be filtered to remove anything with certain allergens. Food arrived quickly and the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had. Mains didn't look like large portions but then realised the bowl was quite deep so was a good portion. Only let down was we didn't order any garlic bread ;-)

Marie ‘Mary’ was absolutely amazing at the Trafford centre she went above and beyond for me regarding my allergies. She deserves a special mention for how good she was. 10/10 service.

Had a lovely time! Food was amazing, and the service from Yiannis was exceptional. He really made the meal special!

We had a lovely meal last night. Much improved since last time we went. I had a Calzone and it didn't look particularly appetising but tasted great. The "side salad" was practically nonexistent, I'd rather have had nothing else on the plate. The staff were lovely, especially the man who seated us and the manager who sorted out our allergies. A lovely evening.

Special thanks to employee (Alyssa). For the service and kind reception 👍🤝 The place is amazing and the food is delicious 😋 I recommend the fettuccine, excellent 10/10 with extra cheese Pasta is okay 8/10 The pizza is a legendary vegetable that came back from hunger. I ate it before I photographed it, 10/10 In terms of juices, take it Strawberry Lemonade 10000000/10 Awesome sweet and sour mix Dessert: Excellent lemon cheesecake 9/10 Hot cookies with ice cream 10/10 And a final point, what also distinguishes the place is that it is close to the river. How many steps do you take while you are there?

Great craic from the lasses serving. Food fantastic. Decent pricing.

The waiter was so rude that we could not even ask a question about the menu. He treated us in the wost way...I thought it was a social experiment, as it was too much from him. This guy doesn't have costume service skills. We left and luckily there was a market outside and we end having hotdogs and burrito 🌯 🙃 😅
