Bella Italia The Strand in City of London, Westminster

Amazing gluten free pizza and great waiter Gabriel :)

Very excellent fast service from Gabriel, very nice restaurant, and the food was top tier!

Had great experience..... thanks Gabriel

Gabriel was awesome, quick service, very cute location!

Everything was fantastic would definitely recommend to people. Service was speedy and our server Pablo was so lovely! Perfect meal for date night <3

Verry good gluten free pizza . Gabiel was amazing

The restaurant is great, I recommend the lasagna and Mr. Gabriel was great 👍

Went there with my daughter and partner before the theatre, great location and near all the popular theatres

Gabriel the waiter was very friendly and helpful

V good, lovely staff especially Gabriel ferdi

Decent food, subpar service, very small meatballs spaghetti portion, unjustifiably high prices for very average fare. Beware of tips being added to the bill automatically. I had to ask them to remove it. Never again !!!

Pablo helpt is with good service. Very Nice place!

Best Italian food... Elvin , Pablo provided the best service. They recommended some amazing pasta dishes which were outstanding. The music played in the restaurant was so nostalgic.

After a lovely trip to London. We stopped here to have dinner. Lovely food, atmosphere and outstanding service by Joanna. I would highly recommend anyone passing by.

Very disappointed after taking my family out to lunch on the 30/08/2024 and we were accommodated in the upstairs seating area. It all started so well with a pleasant welcome by a lady who brought our menus to the table, they asked for any allergies etc the ambience was ok and the decor seemed to match an Italian feel, the food order was then taken by a gentleman again very pleasant on taking down what we wanted, we waited a couple of minutes for drinks and then we waited for the food. We saw the waiter set down 4 pizzas and a couple more dishes on a side table which sat for 5 minutes or more as he went to tend to the cleaning of another table and a check to be paid by another customer before he decided it was time to deliver these to our table and another customer also waiting for their order, this I felt was quite poor as these could have been brought up before tending to his other duties instead of leaving our £20 per head food to go cold. The attentiveness of the waiting went south from delivery of the food, there was no further table visit, no ask for another drink to add to the tab, no check in as to whether the food was adequate, the food we ate was cold and mediocre at best, we went to pay the bill after finishing to a lack lustre interaction with the gentleman who asked at the till why we didn't want dessert. We paid £90 for 4 of us, no starters just 4 mains and 4 drinks which I thought was a little more than what we should've paid looking at the prices in the menu, usually I wouldn't pick the receipt up on leaving but this time I did and was horrified to see that an optional £10 gratuity was claimed/charged for without us even knowing let alone us being asked, this is plain stealing and poor practice, if the service continued throughout and there was more attentiveness from the staff I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, just be wary of any visit you may make yo this establishment as you could be paying more than you thought for a visit in this place. Shame on you Mr gentleman waiter, you could perhaps put a little more effort into your service to reap your rewards instead of helping yourself to people's bank accounts!!

Visited after a trip to the theatre and had amazing and efficient service from our lovely server Joanna! Food came out quickly and was very very good would definitely go again.

Fantastic food and drinks, excellent service from Gabriel!

Food was delicious, Arton checked with us for an allergies, although there was none, and was apologetic after a little wait on a hectic Saturday evening

Amazing food, the lasagne was brilliant and spicy sausage pasta was just the right amount of spice. Our server Gabriel was lovely, kept checking in to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. Will visit again next time we’re in london

Excellent food! Brilliant service, Big Thanks To Arton! Would highley recommend the Pea and Courgette Rissotto!

Arton is a lovely & attentive waiter who makes your dining experience so comfortable. The food & cocktails were lovely, will definitely return! Thank you Arton!!

Great trip and our waiter Gabriel was lovely.

Managed to get a table on a busy Saturday. Very accommodating, our waiter Gabriel was really lovely.

great atmosphere, nice Pizza and our waiter Gabriel was also great as well

Went here originally because it was the closest italian restaurant near me but was pleasantly surprised by our waiter, Gabriel. Not only was his service incredibly fast but also super sweet. I will definitively visit again in the future👍👍👍

This restaurant has a very nice Atmospher and the food was also pretty good not even that expensive. Also the service (Gabriel) was very nice :)

I usually dont go to restaurants but I enjoyed coming here, Gabriel made the experimente really enjoyable.

Lovely. Gabriel was a really nice waiter :)

This is my second time here and I would repeat again! The food is delicious, there are many veggie options and the waiters are really nice too - Gabriel was very attentive this time, thank you!

Gabriel was a very good waiter, and so was the food🙌

The food is delicious with 10/10 customer service very friendly and welcoming with a relaxed and great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this restaurant

the service in this restaurant is amazing the food came out fast and was so good. the atmosphere is very relaxed and chilled making it a great environment to go out and eat. i would recommend this place to anybody looking for a nice restaurant to go out

Family Visit after a trip to the theatre on bank holiday. Not very busy considering its location. Food was hit & miss. We chose the new cheesy dough balls to start which were bizarre - the balls were anaemic & covered in weird melted cheese slice. Really not worth £11.99!! The pizzas were well received by my kids, however my carbonara was super bland. Sauce was thin & flavourless :(. Thankfully they refunded this item as I only took a couple of mouthfuls.i was offered an alternative but I was too disappointed to bother! The deserts & coffee were an improvement - the lemon cheesecake & the cookie dough were excellent. Such a shame - I think Bella Italia need to do a spot check of the food here tbh.

We had very good experience! Friendly team and delicious food! Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Reasonable prices,

Nice restaurant and fast service.

As always, everything is very nice. Gabriele is very friendly!

Another great visit at Bella Italia, thanks Gabriele! See you on Our next Trip to london soon!

Always good food super friendly and made it an amazing night for my partners birthday

Very much appreciated the gluten free options, but nothing flash

We just love this place we come from Australia and came here on our two last visits to London and tell all our friends if they want authentic amazing Italian food while visiting this is the place to come , with great atmosphere to come to Bella Italia .We like to eat in as the friendly service with a smile is terrific, Gabriele served us this visit and was wonderful

We arrived about an hour and a half before close and were served fairly quickly as they weren't busy. I ordered lasagna and my husband had the Marco Polo. We were not impressed by the quality of the meal unfortunately. I ordered water and they only offered bottled water (why doesn't anyone offer tap?). I ordered a raspberry crush soda, also served in a bottle; I hoped for a custom mixed drink. The whole meal was quite expensive for the quality unfortunately, and service slowed down as the place drew nearer to close (we left a half hour before close) as the servers were busy breaking things down. I used the restroom before we left. None of the toilets actually flushed so they were all quite dirty. Not a great experience unfortunately.

the food Is good and the people are great

Amazing atmosphere for my birthday, Amazing friendly staff. The food was lovely and the music was lively too!!

very forthcoming and nice waiter, thank you Arton!

I had a pleasant experience, Very nice waitress.

Great service, lovely waitress, we were finished extremely quickly. Defo reccomed

21/08/24 Terrible service, given wrong food, extra items on bill not ordered. Drinks ordered were forgotten about. Abandoned by our server who must have finished shift, nobody else attended to us.

The service is super friendly and quick. The taste of the food is excellent, so we visited this restaurant twice within three days. At the top it looks like a small Italian restaurant. However, there are many more spaces available in the basement.

The food is good , the service is fast, and the staff - particularly Joanna - are very attentive. Will definitely visit again!

The cannelloni was amazing - visit this location when you are in London!!!

The tortalini was delicious and the service was wonderful.

Staff are very polite and fun, good atmosphere and great food.

Had a good lunch there Arton service was excellent

Very tasty food and fast service. Also a nice place...

I had the most delicious pasta! Excellent service as well!

Beautiful service and so sweet <3 I have been coming for years and it never disappoints. Stunning food and will be coming back <3

Classic Italian restaurant with many gluten-free products. Friendly treatment. It's not cheap.

Poor service, very basic food and an error in the bill to boot.

Art on was very friendly and gave us great customers

Arton was a great server. Food was also very delicious.

Out for a quick meal 🥘 had a wonderful experience! Thanks Joanna

lovely experience friendly staff

Our waitress Joanna was so friendly and welcoming…. Credit to your restaurant

Joanna is so lovely and friendly - the staff are amazing here. Really great vibe 😀

Amazing service. Thank you Joanna!

Great service from our waiter! Food was lovely and out very quickly. 30% student discount sunday-thursday is a great scheme also!

Waited forever for our food, Over an hour just for the starters! Then waited about another 30 minutes for 3 simple pizzas one of which was burnt. None of them tasted freshly made at all. It took so long we didn’t even have time to order dessert as they started to close and it felt like we were being rushed even though we spent most of our time waiting for our food rather than eating it. Was not worth the 85 pound that we spent! Borough market food was way better and better value

We love to have lunch in bella italia stand , fernando been lovely, offer his help when to decide pasta or pizza , we go for pasta ganbore.

Poor service and very low quality food. Helping the English stereotype. Tourist trap. Find something else.

Lovely service from Gabriel. Nice atmosphere and good vegan options

Gabriel was the best waiter in the world! Food was amazing and I loved every moment inside this establishment.

Quick service and great atmosphere!served by Gabriel!

Great service and friendly staff. Gabriel was great

The service was fast polite and welcoming, lovely place too eat before a show , Pablo our server made us feel very welcomed and very good checking allergies

We met friends and didn't choose the restaurant but we do usually like Italian food. The service was good and the setting nice. However, the meal was mediocre and very poor value for money. I had lasagne and a salad. The lasagne could have been tipped up slightly and easily scooped up with a spoon as it was just a sloppy mix of thin meat sauce and a layer of pasta topped with cheese. It was not tasty or filling. The dish arrived spitting hot which I was warned about, but my arm accidently brushed the corner and I got a burn leaving a red mark. It really shouldn't be served in a dish so hot. The salad was utterly boring. A few tiny slices of onions, some tiny halved tomatoes - maybe 3 at the most and loads of lettuce. No dressing either, so it was bland and tasteless. Honestly, when you are paying such high prices nowadays the quality should be much better. OK there is making a profit and then there is fleecing the customer. We didn't complain so as not to embarrass our friends who chose the restaurant. Unfortunately, we won't be heading to Bella Italia again. Such a shame.

Great food and atmosphere and very welcoming :)

Spaghetti with meatballs was good and the service was very friendly, Gabriel especially, being very helpful. Overall a great place to eat if you're nearby!

Gabriel was fantastic! Brilliant experience!

Franchement désolant...le service est nul...les serveurs ne se sentent pas concernés lorsqu'on leur demande notamment un couteau qui coupe pour une pizza dure et immangeable...ils vous amènent le couteau dans le plateau de la plonge....ensuite s'occupent des poubelles juste à côté des clients qui mangent....et en plus on doit payer pour ce service inclus dans l'addition...

Quick and friendly service from Gabriel.

Visited multiple times, convient location. Quick and efficient service. Our waiter Gabriel was very good!

Great service, Gabriel made space for us even at a busy time of day 5/5:)

Such lovely food, and great service from arton!!

We were served by Arton who was extremely helpful. Food was nice would definitely come here again.

Arton was lovely, all our food came quickly and the service was amazing 😁

very nice food!! Arton was amazing and very helpful!

We booked here simply because it's between the theatre we had been to and the tube station, we had a short window for our train back up North. You usually know what youre going to get here and that was exactly the case this time. Nice air con too (it was a hot 28 degrees+ outside!). We ordered pizzas, Bolognese, salad and chips and all the food was nice. If I had a gripe it was that they could have added a few more mushrooms (that I paid for) to the 5 pieces I got on my margarita with added mushrooms. Anyway, we couldn't quibble as we had limited time. Drinks were nice (Can recommend the Tutti Frutti cocktail and the house Rose) and the service was lovely from one waiter, a bit frosty for another but luckily we mostly had the friendly one. All in all, it did what we needed it to do and was super cool at the same time. Yes we would probably use this restaurant again for its convenience and standard food.

Great service from Gabriel And great food

Gabriel was fantastic! Really kind and great service. Will defo come back again

Gabriel did a great job, really good service, would recommend the place to everyone:)
