Bella Rosa Italian Restaurant in East Riding of Yorkshire

Lovely restaurant, welcoming cosy atmosphere and great food .The staff were very polite too.

The best beef stroganoff I’ve ever tasted

So good, my go to italian restaraunt. Food is lovely and the staff are so nice. Fast service

Customers beware: Dirty, saw a rat in the restaurant whilst we were eating, Avoid at all costs. First time eating here as visitor to the area, staff are rude and awful.

Had a fantastic meal this evening with my family, great service and food, excellent value for money.

Impressed, lovely food, very reasonably priced. They don't add a service charge to the bill either, I just like to tip what staff deserve. Great, fully recommend and deserved a top review.

Good value, great food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely awful experience. Booked a table and as it was under the cold air con unit we asked to move. The couple next to us told us they’d asked to move from there before we arrived. The waitress was grumpy when we asked but eventually said that we could move to a table of 4 but would have to move if a walk-in arrived to sit there. That’s not how you want your evening to start, we decided to leave. It was our first visit and we won’t go back.

Absolutely amazing. Fantastic staff unbelievably tasty food. Not usually an Italian type of person but this will certainly keep me going back. Keep up the good work 👌

We go on a regular basis and they never faulter, food and service is great and at a decent price. The only reason we don't go as often is that it's so busy - book in advance.

A delicious meal, fantastic service, and I can't wait to come back again!

Thank you for saving our evening. We had a lovely meal, with fabulous friendly service. We had a most unpleasant experience at a nearby restaurant and Bella Rosa took us in, made us welcome and fed us fabulous food. We will be back.

Dined here with my Wife & daughter for my Wife’s birthday. Food & drink was delicious. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

Popped in for a nice tea risotto very nice

We booked last minute, but they accommodated us for 7 people. Friendly staff and great food. Would definitely come again.

Absolutely fantastic. From service to food to atmosphere. Really lovely will return, really great time. We had starters mains and desserts. Everything was delicious and we all had a lovely time. Special ice cream for my daughter which was a lovely gesture. Cocktails super also!

Great service, food really good,so reasonably priced, best Italian in the area.

Absolutely amazing! First time there and it will not be the last. Quality ingredients and excellent service. We went as a family of 4 and had starters, mains and desserts.

We went out with a couple of friends last Saturday night, as we have been to Bella Rosa a few times and wanted to show our friends just how wonderful this little restaurant is. We alll had starters, Garlic bread and prawns, then steaks which were to die for. Cooked just perfectly, then desserts were scrummy. With drinks included, amazing value for money and food which was such, I feel high quality over seen by Nick the head chef. As always the service and staff were top notch and look forward to more memorable experiences in the future. Thank you

Good food and service, brilliant staff, very enjoyable experience

We went for a family meal. The quality of the food was great, the portion sizes even better. All the staff were really friendly. A great family meal experience.

My daughter, grandson & l went for lunch it was fab!!!

First visit to Bella Rosa at lunch time today. All I can say is, FANTASTIC.

Birthday meal with friends who had been before. Extremely small and narrow room which meant my clothes smelt of cooking when we left. On booking for 7.00pm we were advised we would have to leave before 9.00pm as they closed then!! On the door closing time was recorded as 9.30 so not impressed to start with. There was a large menu but we agreed on main and pudding only (as time was of the essence and the restaurant was busy). Very limited choice of wines because (according to the waiter) there was limited storage space. Drinks very reasonably priced however. Three main courses were enjoyed very much; Salmon in Lemon Sauce, Duck with red wine and prune jus and a Trio of Chicken/ Prawns and Chorizo. My own choice, a favourite of mine, was Chicken Stroganoff. The chicken was overcooked and stringy and the brandy appeared to be well and truly cooked off as there was no flavour to the sauce. Service was appalling. Meals and cutlery were passed across in front of us in a confusing Speech and attitude of the girl waitresses was sloppy to say the least. An array of desserts were available and we enjoyed Tiramisu and Panne Cotta. Two orders for coffee were missed off and had to be reordered. Altogether, extremely disappointed by this meal and 3 of us wished we had chosen 'Santi' across the street and infinitely superior. Will not be returning.

Reasonably priced Italian; never had a bad meal here. There’s something for everyone on the menu, so great for groups. We usually go on a Sunday afternoon, after our quarterly exam session!

Very nice Italian restaurant, reasonably priced, good choice of authentic Italian food, friendly staff. Quick service, great food, plenty of parking, overall a great place to eat. The staff accommodated my request to change the ingredients slightly, very positive experience. Can definitely recommend and will be sure to come back!

Absolutely brilliant place and one of the best Italians in this area for a very reasonable price. Starter + main + dessert + cocktail for just over £35. Service was super nice and helpful and I will be definitely going back.

Ok but a small place need to get bigger bar and more room food was good

Lovely place to eat amazing food

Excellent meal - staff very friendly and efficient really enjoyed my visit

Visited with friends on Thursday evening. I had been twice before with family. We had preordered our food due to being a larger booking. From walking in I felt relaxed, the service was excellent, not rushed but efficient. And the food as always was delicious. I love this place and can’t wait to go again. Definitely recommend

The food was excellent however we felt very rushed as no sooner had we put our cutlery down our plates were taken away when I still had a mouthful of food. This happened with both dinner courses. There was only a few minutes between finishing our starters to the main course being served. The restaurant lacked ambience for us and was cold it seemed like a back door was open.

Wow how have we never been here before…. 100% will be returning and think this is our new favourite place to eat in Hull! Thankyou so much for the gorgeous food and friendly service 🤍

Last night was very hectic for the staff given the date (Feb 14th) that said we had a very nice meal, staff were polite and helpful, as well as replacing a table candle when it went out. Recommended.

Went Last night for valentines.. food was absolutely fantastic. My wife had muscles for starters and risotto for main she said was the best risotto she ever tasted. I had the bolognase beautiful. Staff very welcoming and service for food and drink very quick. Made the evening very special would definitely recommend and we will be back very soon. Thanks for making our night amazing

We've been a few times now and it has been a pleasant experience on each occasion. Food is wonderful, service is just how you'd want it and great value for money. We'll be popping back soon

Called and placed order at 19:07 Order: Bella trio and chips £11.95 Ribs and chips £10.95 Garlic bread mozzarella + Nduja £6 & calamari £5.75. Was told this full order would be ready by 19:15. Even called back to double check they got that right. Arrived at 19:20. Service from staff was professional, quick and friendly. The food itself: the garlic bread and calamari w/ sauce was spot on. No complaints. The mains however turned out to be what I expected with how quick it was prepared. Ribs: The food wasn’t cooked fresh. The sauce it was in was watery as if it had been cooked, left in a fridge and then maybe boiled whilst inside the plastic bag it was stored in. The flavour wasn’t completely gone but it wasn’t enjoyable. The bones themselves fell apart as I was eating which made it worst because it was all mixing in together making it difficult to eat. For the price of £10.95 the portion size was generous but i feel that’s to make up for lack of quality. The chicken trio: didn’t taste fresh and lacked flavour. Again this type of dish doesn’t usually take less than ten minutes to prepare fresh. Chips: really good chips. Cooked just right. Portion size is half of the box it comes in but I can take that on the chin. The restaurant itself was full (Saturday night) so not sure if it was just all a rushed mess because they had more orders then could handle but based off this experience I won’t be eating here any time soon especially when there is other well established Italians in the area. This is purely and honest review of my experience on this occasion.

Sea bass excellent linguine with sea food excellent thought the waiter was a bit abrupt but

12 of us met for my 60 th birthday. From the welcome to the end we all had a positive experience. The food was excellent and we all really enjoyed. We had a few drinks to celebrate and it was good to catch up with friends. Service was great and they were busy. Thanks for making my milestone birthday special.

Just had a lovely meal at this restaurant. The food was hot, tasty and filling. Unfortunately that is we're the positives end. When we arrived and said we had a booking, the waiter pointed towards the window and said "you're over there"...not a good start. A young girl took our drinks order then the waiter that had pointed to our table came over to us and stood there with his pad and pen and looked at us. He did not ask if we were ready to order so my husband gave our order for the starters, still no response from him. So we gave him our mains to which he said to me " potatoes, chips or rice" I asked for potatoes. We were then expecting a thank you but alas nothing forthcoming. When our food came it was just put on the table with not a single word spoken. Even when our plates were taken away, we weren't asked if everything was ok. The waiter then started to walk across with a desert menu but turned round before my husband had a chance to read it. We decided that we'd had enough so I asked him for the bill to which he said "bill" so I said yes. This experience, eventhough the food was lovely, has left a sour taste in our mouths.

Gorgeous gem of a restaurant. Food is delicious, with both vegan and gluten free options. Looking forward to a return visit.

Always great food with great service, just lacks a bit of atmosphere.

Called up 20/1/24 to order takeaway looked on website and on their specific takeaway menu … called up to place order at 7.50pm and was told they just had a party of 36 arrive and takeaway was dependant on how busy they are so the manager (a male) told me to call back at 9pm and he would be able to take the order … I waited till 9.05pm and called back the manager answered and went back on what he had said and refused my order and then said nobody at the restaurant had told this to me ? Very dissapointing treating people like this and wasting peoples time ! I told him I would leave a review and he casually said go on then go ahead ! Why not use some common sense and put a note on takeaway menu saying please call to confirm takeaway is available ?

Tasty food, big portions, nice atmosphere. Recommended.

What a gem. Thank you to Chris and the team for a wonderful family meal. Full of flavour, beautifully presented and expertly attended to. Lasagne is amazing , pizza garlic bread was gorgeous, pasta dishes all very much enjoyed and our little boy asks to come back every week! Would recommend dining here to anyone :)

The food is very good. Reasonable prices.

We were a large booking of 11 and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service we received was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely return.

We love this restaurant. The prices are reasonable unlike a lot of restaurants today & the food is very good. We would definitely recommend this place :-)

Been here a couple of times now and the food is always delicious, recommend ordering the duck as it was incredible. Also ordered one of the Christmas cocktails which was a gingerbread espresso martini and it was even better than expected.

I ordered a sirloin steak cooked rare, which ended up being served as well done. Asked for a replacement and was given a medium rare which I didn’t complain about. However, the cut of steak was low quality and extremely difficult to cut and chew for a sirloin. Overall a poor experience although service wasn’t terrible.

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Bella Rosa yet but we seem to forget to do this for our favourite local places. We first started to visit when they were forced to trade as takeaway only with the covid shutdowns but quickly realised the food was excellent. We've been visiting from as soon as the restrictions were removed and have been regulars since. Food, wine and cocktails are always top notch and very reasonably priced. Staff friendly, professional and courteous. Completely consistent in my experience. Best to book if you can but they'll accommodate short notice requests whenever possible. Highly recommended :)

Back in April I wrote a review of this restaurant saying I wouldn't go again and why. To the owners credit he solved the main issue - a waitress who didn't understand the meaning of the word hospitality. As she was no longer working there I returned with my business colleagues and had a very pleasant lunch. Will I go again? Yes.

Owner very disrespectful and very rude Will not be taking the family again

Well!!! Not good, the saying is !! If you can’t do a great Pizza then give up !’ So I’d give up, it was tasteless, soggy and just plain horrible ! and that was just the good points ! Service terrible , a waiter with just no personality at all, don’t waste Petrol driving here !! Cold atmosphere but thank god they sold beer! The only good thing about the evening was, I gave the pizza the mother in law to take home :) I won’t be coming back ! If you want a pizza like this just go to Tesco !! and they are much much better !

Great food at a great price, well worth a visit!

We go regularly to Bella Rosa and are never disappointed. It was my 60th Birthday and we chose our favourite place. The food is really tasty and all very reasonable.. i .would highly recommend it. It does get busy, so i would suggest booking early to not be disappointed.

Celebrated my daughters 18th here. Food and service amazing. Do nice cocktails too. Will be going back 👌😋

Food is lovely and the staff are very attentive

Great food, great service, great price!!!!

Lovely restaurant with a very good choice if food . Attentive service and reasonably priced.

Superb food, great selection, knowledgeable staff. I'm definitely going there again. Finally, I managed a return visit. All as before, very busy midweek. Would recommend booking a table in advance.

Lovely friendly restaurant, delicious food, plenty of choice. I had sea bass which was cooked perfectly! And surprisingly good price too! Really good value for really good food! Definitely will go again. And I definitely recommend Bella Rosa!

Superb food and reasonably priced. 5 of us enjoyed garlic breads, main courses and alcoholic drinks for just under £100, including the amazing Limoncello Fizz cocktails! Great service and friendly staff. Lovely local restaurant

Delicious food. Service extremely good - helpful and efficient staff. Tragically, I was too full to finish my tiramisu but I can confirm it’s divine. Lovely restaurant.

Huge menu but surprisingly little choice for vegetarians. Verdura pizza was huge and had lovely toppings. Too big to finish. Side salad was nicely presented. We were a group of 6 and were asked to pre-order when we reserved a table.

Had a family lunch here on Saturday. Food was good. Service was good, although they got my order mixed up at first, what I had was really nice. The only negative is they don't seem to want you to pay separately even though we were three separate parties. But they were quite busy so understandable I suppose.

Birthday lunch which was delicious. We were a party of 19 and the food was superb, very reasonably priced aswell. Chris and his staff were lovely and attentive. Definitely recommend this one!! :-)

Had a fantastic evening celebrating wifes birthday. Good food, friendly efficient service.

Great food! Great service! Not too expensive. Highly recommend.

Pleasant atmosphere. Not too noisy. Excellent food and service.

Nice food, bit pricey. Staff could be better, but were ok.

Amazing food, Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Now it's easily our favourite restaurant in Hull Thank you

Visited as a party of 10 for a birthday celebration. We pre ordered our food as requested. The food was very good and the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, the service was lacking a little. The staff were polite but not very attentive, and made no effort to offer anything extra or strike up any sort of conversation. We were ready and willing to spend at least another £100 on desserts, drinks and coffees but nobody came over, despite having 3 staff members, and only 3 tables in the restaurant. We went to the bakery next door instead and had desserts and coffees at home. In conclusion, we wouldn't rush back.

Good food. Little expensive but not outlandish. All the staff were very nice.

Beautiful place steak was delicious

Ottimo ristorante italiano. Uno dei pochi che può dire di fare cucina italiana in Inghilterra. Bravi tutti e complimenti allo staff.

Great food and service, will definitely be back...

Fantastic meal and service however left with sour taste having been told to leave as next customers waiting in the rain! Good evening ruined!!!!

Been here a few times and it used to be decent... now you get barely 1/3 of a tin of soup and bread without butter. Chicken was overcooked, too. Waitress had no idea of the drinks on the menu when asked and another one lacked basic customers service skills. Can't even get the basics right! UPDATE: Not surprised with the sarcastic unprofessional response to this review from the owner. Clearly unable to take constructive criticism and take into account even getting just the basics right in future! Zero customer service. Re-scored the rating because of this. Will NOT be returning. 👎🏻

First time here, thoroughly enjoyed the full experience. Food excellent, and very reasonable. And two very handsome men to great us. What more could you ask for.😄💯%

An evening out with Mum and friends. Wonderful meal (mains and sweets) with plenty to choose from. Pleasant atmosphere and helpful, friendly staff. Very nice evening.

Had my mam's 70th birthday here on the 9th June. The food was excellent, and so was the service, They even came and sang happy birthday to her, when they brought the cake out. Would go here again

Had a Risotto with King prawns and chicken - it was hot & tasty. Highly recommended.

Thanks for a great night celebrating my husbands 70th birthday last night, great food, lovely staff fabulous atmosphere, also plenty of gluten free choices, keep up the good works.

Good, friendly service. Food excellent. Atmosphere built as more people arrived. Super place!!

Pizza was great and the staff were very nice

Second visit to this lovely restaurant and highly impressed with the food yet again and the service was spot on. Would highly recommend a visit.

Brilliant pizza, friendly staff at a reasonable price - will be back!

The food and service at Bella Rosa are always first class .Always a warm welcome and the prices are very good .This is always the first restaurant mentioned when friends are going out for an Italian meal.

all in all an excellent experience.

This restaurant is such amazing value for money. Food is tasty and fresh. Waiter (possibly the owner) is always so friendly and helpful. Lots of vegetarian choices for me (although would love a veggie lasagne). Venue has nice decor and is very clean. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service at a reasonable cost.

Very cosy atmosphere with tables to suit couples as well as seating for parties of four or more Very clean!! Polite attentive staff that don't hover around but are there when needed. Great food with something for everyone at very good prices

Brilliant all the staff. Are so nice. Food fab ,

Great food and really friendly service, plus everything on the menu is very good value. Benissimo!

Myself and my partner booked last minute one Thursday night, a cheeky little child free night! We booked for 8pm, on arrival we were given a lovely seat in the window. I had Arancini and Seabass and my partner had the Anti Misti (meats and breads) and Fillet steak. All of our food was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and the manager came to see us many times to make sure everything was ok. The price for our meal was really reasonable for what we had. £22 for a lovely fillet steak including all sides is great value. I ordered a large glass of house red (early morning stopped us ordering a bottle) for £3.95 which you just don’t find anymore, it’s normally around £8/£9. We will be back as a couple and with our children. Great value and service and delicious food! Thank you and see you again soon.

Labai jauki aplinka,ir malonus personalas... nuostabus itališkas maistas 😍😘💯💯💯

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. My second time visiting the restaurant and the experience was again a fabulous time

Would I go again? Probably not. The greeting / welcome was very average, the menu offered a good variety of dishes, the food was very good, the restaurant itself was OK in its decor and the service - from the gentleman who delivered most of the service - was efficient. So why not go again? Because some of the service was delivered by probably the most miserable waitress in Hull and just the thought of going back and her perhaps being responsible for delivering all or the majority of the service is too off-putting. She'd spoil lunch. I don't get it. Hospitality definition: the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers Why do restaurants (who are in the 'hospitality' industry) employ people who are clearly not suited to it? It costs them business. And it will cost this restaurant business too. It already has. A shame.

Lovely place to eat, never been disappointed.
