Bella Italia The Strand in City of London, Westminster

Nice place! Gabriel was lovely!

I liked that one of the clerks, Gabriel, was friendly.

Fernando is very nice. His service is AMAZING & FAST!!!

Recommended. Great service from Pablo!

Nice quiet place to eat in very busy London. PABLO served us and was so friendly and kind. We got £10 off for downloading the app too. All good.

Nice restaurant, Pablo was a helpful and friendly waiter

Hate to leave a bad review - but we waited over an hour to receive our food with no communication from the waitress or managers at any point. When we flagged her down we were told it would be 2 mins and was another 25. When we did receive our food we still had no apology or acknowledgment of our wait and nothing removed from the bill, in addition both dishes were undercooked like they had been rushed out at the last minute. I appreciate it was busy when our order was taken, but most of the venue emptied out during the time we were there and multiple tables arrived, were served, and left while we were waiting. For reference, we had made a booking and told the waitress we were in a rush. Hoping the kitchen issues were a one off, but the lack of communication & expectation management was really poor and so easily avoidable. Last thing - being able to pay the bill on the QR code is a nice touch for speed of service, but it’s not possible to remove the service charge on the platform, which is supposed to be discretionary.

Delicious food and friendly servers

Please remove the word Italian cuisine from your restaurant. Tasteless tomato and mozzarella pasta with cubed mozzarella. Roast potatoes? New potatoes cut in two and boiled. Not to mention the mess that the two waiters made for a payment with the POS not picking up a signal. Really a bad experience.

The waiter Gabriel is very friendly and his service is excellent!

Granted, it was busy - 30 mins for 5 Mozzarella sticks - far too long. Main meal of spicy sausage pasta was nice but it really was a measly portion. My sons margherita pizza was like rock, I actually bent the fork trying to cut through it. Service was fine but slow. I won’t bother with Bella Italias again. Rubbish value.

Really great food , amazing service thanks too Larton , overall would recommend this to anyone who love italian dishes!!

Food was amazing and great service too. Thanks Pablo!

Very lovely place, came with a couple friends. Our waiter, Gabriel was very accommodating and I enjoyed my time here.

Lovely place, very nice atmosphere. Love Italian food. Our waiter, Gabriel was very catering for.

Pablo's been brilliant with our 2 visits! So accommodating and very efficient.

Been coming here for years. Pablo has always made this feel like a home from home! Highly recommend!

Had a lovely meal while in London. Great service by Gabriele very helpful and professional.

The food is very good. We ordered almost everything on the menu as we were extremely hungry. I highly recommend the chicken Milanese and the mushroom risotto.

"Sujoy made my visit to Bella Italia on The Strand truly memorable! From the moment we walked in, he was warm, welcoming, and attentive to all the details that made our meal special. The food was delicious, with authentic Italian flavors and generous portions. Sujoy's friendly service and attention to detail added a personal touch to our dining experience. If you're visiting Bella Italia, I highly recommend asking for Sujoy - he'll make sure you have an exceptional time. Thank you, Sujoy, for making our meal unforgettable!"

Amazing food!!!! Pablo was our server and he was very friendly and gave amazing recommendations. Food and drinks came out fast! 10/10

Gabriel was amazing he was so nice and helpful.

Bella Italia was a fantastic dinner spot! My wife and I got right in and had our best meal while in Central London, and the service from our waiter, Pablo, was top notch!! We split the Mushroom Al-Forno, which Pablo recommended, and we would come back just for that dish. The sauce was wonderful and mushrooms were cooked perfectly! For our main dishes, my wife enjoyed the Spaghetti and Meatballs and I had the Gamberoni. Both were full of flavor and a perfect dinner size. To finish off our meal, we split a Tiramisu. I sound like a broken record, but this was full of flavor and so balanced. Just enough coffee and chocolate flavors, not too sweet and the flavors complemented each other perfectly. One of the best pieces of tiramisu I've ever had!! I wish we discovered Bella Italia earlier in our trip because we'd absolutely go back for another amazing meal!!!

The food was super tasty, the service was fast and very friendly. Well helped by Pablo. Definitely worth repeating

Great service from Pablo tonight, we had some pasta dishes that were delicious for a good price! (Thanks 3!) Lovely spot by Charing Cross too

Really cute setting, ideal for a pre/post theatre dinner. Our server, Fernando, was very attentive and helpful! He gave suggestions on what dishes he would recommend, was friendly and also very patient with our indecisiveness! 😆

We had a lovely dinner here, Gabriel was great !

Professional staff, tasty and quick service. We were 170 all together but they served us as we were 17. Thank you all for the excellent service.

Great option for Italian comfort food. Very casual. Service was efficient but unobtrusive. Seemed reasonably priced.

Lovely good, chilled atmosphere, perfect pre-show! Service by fernando was great!

It was great service and food was good too! Thanks Arton

Was pleasantly surprised. A huge groups of kids came in and they strategically seated us in a different section. Had the prawn starter and the beef ribs, was happy with both. Arton was a kind server. Would recommend for a relaxed dinner. Gave us limoncello shots at the end as a treat.
