Bella Italia Southampton Hanover in Southampton

As always Bella provided great customer service as well as delicious food . Prices affordable. Set menu great choices Defo keep coming back

Love the Lasagnia, friendly staff. food came out a bit slow but staff was very friendly. will def come back. nice starters

Take like a cheap microwave meal wouldn’t recommend . Meatball were like rubber and pasta carbonara had no flavour and bacon that felt like it could break a tooth . Staff are nice but wen u go for food you want the food to be nice not just the staff

Came here for my daughters birthday and had a wonderful evening. The food was great I'd highly recommend the calzone and cookie dough for dessert. We all enjoyed it and will definitely return. Only small thing was the service at the beginning was a little slow and it wasn't busy but the staff were friendly.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommended for pasta lovers. Server Karen was very helpful at helping us choose vegatarian dishes.

the food is very tasty and Mrs. Izabela was very nice to us and served us as per the book

The food is big and delicious. Staff is amazing, especially our server Isabella. Very nice atmosphere and great prices.

The food is delicious. Staff îs amazing, especially our server Isabella. The atmosphere is very nice and the prices are great.

Food very tasty just a shame it was cold when arrived

There is absolutely nothing Italian starting from the menu which is truly embarrassing. Pizza with indescribable dough and a musty smell in the room. The sign would have to be removed.

Very small and poor pizza for the price.

The restaurant was about 50% full, but there were only 3 staff. Took about an hour for our food to arrive. The food was ok, the restaurant was very noisy, like kids party noisy.

Delicious food and friendly waitress. Nothing was too much trouble.

Me and my family came in to have a final meal before my younger sister starts uni, the staff handled everything we asked well despite my mum having very complicated dietary requirements, we did have a small issue with the garlic oil at one point but it was easily fixed and despite my dad making our waitress uncomfortable or singing and talking too loud, she handled it so well , I saw the name on the receipt was Alice, thank you so much for a great time and I apologise for all the trouble she was amazing!

The staff are friendly and the shop is well set up. The meal were generous and delicious. I ordered prawns as a starter. Sea bass and pasta as staples. That's about 40￡ in total. But for a solo meal, it costs around ￡20(if you don't order two main courses like I did）. Everything is good!

Lots of gluten free choices, good discounts and our server Karen was lovely!!

Good food, quick service, and our waitress Karen was very happy and helpful. Service with a smile

Our server Karen was great! Very accommodating and helpful!

Good food and great service from our server Karen

We were celebrating a reunion. The atmosphere, the friendly staff and the lovely food made our day. Thank you!

Fresh food and very good, and the staff is very kind and gentle

Amazing gluten-free options! Mozzarella garlic bread was fantastic. Many gluten free pasta dish options (penne pasta only) and multiple gluten free dessert options.

Great cocktails and very friendly staff. Had the spaghetti meatballs and calamari, the food came out quickly and was hot and delicious

food quality and delivery time was amazing. food portion sizes are tiny given the high prices so pretty disappointed overall

Izabela service was outstanding

Good food, welcoming and helpful staff. Izabella, very lovely quick serving and nice atmosphere.

Miss this atmosphere fill like at home ... Friendly and good food🫶

very good place to eat food was lovely and Karen was a lovely waitress very helpful and nice!

Karen’s service and attitude was amazing! Made our experience totally worth it!

Karen looked after us really well, lovely celebratory meal- thank you!

Karen our waitress was very nice 🫶🏻

We were welcomed as soon as we came in! Food and drinks came fast! Our server was amazing! And meatballs were outstanding

Karens service and vibe was amazing

Fabulous coffee and a fabulous waitress Always smiling and makes me want to return

It was my friends birthday and the food was lovely but the service was even better from the 2 ladies i belive Didi and Nati was there names, it was fairly busy for the 2 of them but still they were so nice and attentive one of the best service I had, will definitely go back

Karen was so lovely and attentive tonight. She delivered our food quickly and ensured everything was okay. Thank you for your customer service, and credits to the chefs the food was amazing. The restaurant was clean and everything was laid out pristine. Thank you we will be back :)

Amazing hospitality by staff. Delicious Italian cuisine. Would definitely recommend just for the service offered.

I came to the Bella Italia restaurant with my friend for lunch and the food and service was good, I had the spinach and ricotta Cannelloni very tasty. Would go again

The carbonara is literally an abomination on a plate for a super high price. Advice: buy ingredients up to £10 and make your own carbonara at home, don't pay super inflated premium prices for frozen microwave bland food. Bella Italia is a joke.

What a great venue this is located just off the main precinct and when we are in the area we always head to this restaurant. We dined here a couple of times this week and we had two wonderful enjoyable experiences, food, atmosphere and of course great service just have to keep coming back to experience it all. Our recent server Dede was as always very attentive from our arrival and throughout the evening, thanks again Dede for making our eating out experience very enjoyable. Tried a recent option to the menu the Marc Polo and this was a real tasty delicious dish with good portions can highly recommend. We just love the Italian way of dining with the great food and the relaxed atmosphere when the staff make your visit so welcoming, congratulations team Bella Italia and until the next time, arriverderci 😎.

Great staff, we had a group who arrived at different times. Staff were so accommodating it was very impressive. Thanks for a lovely time 😊

Lovely surroundings, friendly welcoming staff and a lovely pizza! I was delighted that they did a gluten free and dairy free version too! Excellent! Thank you.

Dede was so helpful and the food was so good and the drinks

Dede was an excellent waitress that really tied the whole experience together

Dede gave us great lunch service

emilie was an amazing server! great drinks and food and overall experience. made my boyfriends birthday memorable. thanku bella!

Fantastic service, the food was slightly bland

Amazing. lovely atmosphere and Dede was super attentive and helpful and was very kind throughout. Definitely coming back soon, hugjly recommended

A wonderful experience start to finish. Came with a best friend for a catch up drink and meal. I was on a paleo-style diet and *nothing* was too much trouble. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, great background music. Special thanks to Ciprian for his 5*+ service!

Always a lovely experience, Natalia is always prompt and punctual with her service and the food arrives in a timely manner. She remembered my coeliac requirements as soon as i came through the door and always accommodates. Great range of gluten free food available aswell

Food was wonderful. Still hot when it arrived and delivered right on time. Will definitely order again.

If you want to eat an English pizza but which claims to be Italian, you are in the right place.

Natalia is always on hand to support with any questions, is polite and her customer service is 10/10 when we visit the restaurant.

Absolute amazing 100% wood recommend to any one thank you to all the staff hope you all enjoy your tip ❤️

Emily was very accomadating and polite

Been here a few times for a quick early afternoon lunch and drink, service and food is always great. Thanks, Emilie!

AMAZING food, great service from Emily. Highly recommended. We are fat and full!!!

Emily the waitress was amazing and very helpful.

Emily was a happy and very good waitress!

Emily was amazing as a host! Accommodating and understanding of food sensitivities. 😋

Came here for lunch today and would definitely recommend. Friendly and attentive servers, food came quickly as well.

Visited few times before Never disappointed with food and service here With hot weather outside, inside restaurant was refreshing cool with air con on Friendly staff as always .

Went to bella italia for a quick bite to eat while enjoying some shoping with friends, really nice hot weather got inside the restaurant and was greeted by really nice lady and it was so nice and fresh. Really nice food quick service. Will definitely coming back

Set meal was excellent value for money and the food was excellent as well as the customer service.

Took nearly 2 hours to get our dinner, delivery's got preference over the customers in the restaurant, won't be going back there any time soon

This is the most disappointing review I have written to date. For my first impression, absolutely terrible. Arrived at 7.40 and was seated almost immediately. Was met with a server who was polite. Seated at a corner window seat. Place was quite lively (about 35-40% full) so was quite busy for a Tuesday evening however added some atmosphere to the restaurant. Menu was nicely laid out, not confusing to navigate and the interior had that classic causal Italian feel however the double doors was awkward from where I was sitting because I could see everyone come in and out so felt somewhat exposed but where I sat was still intimate and connected enough to the restaurant. My order: Calzone (£15.99) and Billionaire Doughnuts (£7.49). Ordering was simple as I looked up online menu before. Ordering was quick took around 7 mins since being seated. Originally wanted the Tiramisu however wanted it without the alcohol (coffee liqueur) so those who won’t want alcoholic content in their desserts/food beware as Bella Italia has it pre-made so it cannot be taken out. Very disappointing- either make it to order or have another option for non alcoholic Tiramisu to be more inclusive of dietary needs. Did not receive my food until 20.30 (30 mins till supposed closing) so was waiting for my food for 40 mins essentially. Dessert didn’t come until 20.51 (9 mins till supposed closing) despite stating I wanted everything to come together. Very poor service, felt neglected and brushed to the side and the only time I was “checked on” was if my finished plate could be taken. All the other tables (groups) were attended to and look after well but I was not, definitely felt isolating and not the initial welcome feeling I had. Calzone: first impressions were nice, classic Italian smell and look. Simple, stylish and fresh. Initial bite was fresh and had well made pizza dough. The nduju sausage spread was nicely spicy and the basil kept it fresh. Good portion size so well worth the price. Billionaire doughnuts: smelled great that instant hit of chocolate and caramel was nice. HOWEVER: very small portion, could finish each doughnut with one bite (7 of them, quite small). Doughnuts also had a salty aftertaste so the caramel and chocolate drizzle helps to remove this from the mouth. New item on the menu- nice addition but not worth the price. Restaurant was still open past 9pm and people were still getting their mains! Food delivery drivers looked worried and distressed as the kitchen were slow and taking so long. Need to be open way longer (10-10.30pm) as this is what competitors are doing and 9pm seems so early to close doors, even though this didn’t happen today. The service was abysmal. Was waiting so long for my food, was not checked on when others were and had to pay the bill online because none of the servers were paying attention to me to bring it. Shouldn’t be only 2 servers on the floor and the kitchen was so slow in making the dishes. People who came after me were getting their food way before me and came in larger groups, which is quite ridiculous and low-key insulting. Was going to walk out and then at the last moment stayed because I wanted to treat myself. It was a domino effect: slow kitchen leads to overworked staff leading to unsatisfied and hungry customers. Ruined a nice treated for myself. Very disappointed with Bella Italia, food was actually somewhat tasty however the service was so shocking and really left a terrible first impression. Whilst I cannot judge from one visit, if I were to return the service needs to be 5/5- sharper, quicker, more attentive. Will I return? First impressions matter and Bella Italia Southampton did NOT impress. One more chance and if it’s not up to par, will not be returning definitely. If you want to have long wait times for food and feel neglected and have others after you receive their food before you then Bella Italia is for you. But for me, despite a nice causal Italian eatery, there’s other Italian restaurants that would do much better. Bella Italia Southampton: 1.78/5 stars

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. Friendly staff. Great location if exploring the city.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch using my club card vouchers, so reasonable, fresh food and attentive service from Emilie. Thank you

always a dining pleasure, the house red & the bbq full rack of ribs were very complimentary. Nice one Bella's!!

The worst carbonara i had in Southampton and at a crazy price. Nothing good to say about bruschetta too Wont go there any time soon

Great friendly place! One of the best pizzas in the town!

Um. Personally, I found the meals on the small side, but it was still nice. The reason for the positive review, that it was down to a great member of staff called Karen. Honestly, it made our evening great for the 20 of us. Thank you.

Deedee ( I hope I’m spelling it right 😂) was amazzingggg !! Best waitress I’ve encountered!! Recommend 1000%

Had a lovely waitress called deedee was very welcoming. Amazing food and well priced definitely will be coming back

A large restaurant with the Bella Italia menu offering many options. Service was OK (18.00 on a Friday, Bank Holiday weekend, less than 20% full when we left just befoe 19.00).

Great food and friendly service. Would definitely go back again

Great food as always, always love coming here!

Amazing food and service, always a nice experience here!

Service was very slow and when complained about the service they told us there were busy. In our section of the restaurant there were only two other tables. Everything took ages. Our drinks came out after our starters, even though it was ordered first. Two of our dishes were cold. After looking for our waitress and already waiting an hour to get our food we just ate them. They then came to us after we had eaten asking if it was all ok. Our reply was no and after telling them we got no apology and no one wanted to sort the problem. Very poor service and food. Wouldn’t go again

Had a wonderful evening, it was my daugthers first time visiting and the staff were lovely with her and the food was great

Had a take away last night. It was search the meat in the spag bol!

Always love coming here after a shopping trip. The food is good, service is friendly and generally good value.

Excellent service from all of the staff. Regularly use this restaurant before the football match. Can be very busy but staff are really good and well managed

Food was decent, was slightly on the more expensive end for the portion sizes.

Today, I had a very good experience at Bella Italia -Southampton. Very tasty food and great atmosphere. It was a pure pleasure to visit the place. Thank you

Bella Italia in Southampton offers decent service and a variety of Italian dishes. Their vegetarian pizza, while above mediocre, lacks that wow factor. However, the cozy ambiance and friendly staff compensate for any shortcomings. It's a decent spot for a casual Italian meal, but don't expect the pizza to blow you away.

Had a fabulous birthday meal with family. Thanks for great food. Great waitress Karen 👍

Had lovely evening celebrating my sisters birthday!! Brillant staff Karen waitress and and Barb manager( all on the ball) food was fantastic from the chefs done as I asked was perfect!! Would come again :)

Had a very nice lunch, friendly, happy Staff. Great Menu., plenty of choice. Drinks & food served in good time. Meals hot, tasty & plentiful. Music not too loud.

There was a lady, a waitress. She had 3 tiny stars as a tattoo. She presented an offer of cheese to go on my Calzone, a possibility I hadn't even considered. It caught me off guard but, I was assured cheese was the way to go. I let it happen, cheese was added and it was incredible. Whoever you are, thank you.

Delicious food, very nice service, I recommend it!!!!

Great place for a quick family lunch!Speedy, friendly service and delicious food! what else u need for Saturday lunch! Will come back again!

Came yesterday for lunch before football. They do the best pizzas for sure, have been served by very friendly , short women with great humor. Highly recommend this place.

Went there yesterday with family for lunch. Had a great service and nice food. Staff was so friendly with my 3 years old, we felt so welcome. Will come back again for sure.
