Baba is and amazing server and treated us very well

We were looking for authentic Italian place where to have good pizza and wine. Valentina greeted us at the door and kindly offered us a table. Service was absolute fab and food and wine was super delicious. Also we had a great laugh with Valentina, she is such a gem! Definitely will be back once visiting London again.

Nice pizza, Baba our host was excellent

Baba provided excellent service. Good food, good atmosphere, lovely evening

Amazing place! the food was excellent, the service was great and they already have Christmas decor up so the ambiance is beautiful (especially if you want to gossip). The biggest thanks to our server Baba✨✨ love you lots. Definitely will be back!!

Perfect place for Italian food. Pizzas are great as well as pasta. Especially the service is great from Ilaria.

The restaurant deserves 5 stars because of the good waiters Baba

Ilaria is really hilarious ❤️ the pasta was great 👍🏻

Good pasta an quickly attention.

Hello, I am writing regarding 27th of August. Leicester sq Bella Italia. Ordered margarita with extra mushrooms & calzone.. margarita was absolutely horrible, the cheese used was not even mozorella, was just normal cheese and it was burned to the point where afted some time we couldn’t even chew on the pizza or even eat as it was hard rock. Calzone has massive mushrooms inside, the pieces were so big, and instead of spinach inside there was somehing else…

The food and drink are delicious. We would love to come back. Thanks to Valentina!

Right near Leicester Square with very good Pizza and Pasta. Valentina provided a very good service.

Yesterday my partner and I went for pre theatre meal.As we were sat we ordered drinks and food and the food arrived very quickly which was good however, the whole experience was so rushed by the server who asked my partner to pay mid mouthful it felt like we were being a nuisance just by eating there which isn’t a great atmosphere to be eating in.We had eaten and paid within 30 minutes due to the server rushing us we understand it was a busy time however forcing us to eat and pay within 30 minutes is abysmal service.The manager was very nice though.

Perfect place for an excellent Pizza or coffee..!!🤩🤩. Ilaria served us wonderful 😁

Great meal and great service from Ilaria, thank you!

The food we got here was lovely. It's near Leicester Square without feeling like an overpriced tourist trap. The service was great. Our waitress Krisztina was fantastic and very friendly.

Great waitress Ilaria 🤗 We ate gluten free pasta and a pizza. Positive experience

Lovely food and great service by ILARIA.

Krisztina was super pleasant and served us happily, loved her vibe! Asked her to bring out a brownie with a candle for my friends birthday and she did so without complaint, bringing it over with a song with her college <3

We did not have a reservation on a busy Saturday evening and the Maitre ‘d fitted us in within 20 minutes. We all had a really nice meal served by a lovely waitress for whom nothing was too much trouble. I think her name was Zuzanne. We all enjoyed our food and one of us was gluten-free and also had a lovely meal. Gluten-free sticky toffee pudding to die for Yum Yum

Very good restaurant. The food was really good and it came really quickly. Staff is also very friendly. Also good for vegetarians like myself.

Terrible customer service, very rude staffs We order some drink and starter and we ask them so get times to get them. Just wast of money and time.👎👎

Very good experience, I came from Colombia and the food of the italian restaurant is the best I taste in London. Regards to Valentina for her attention, she has a good customer service

Very nice place, good food and service, especially waitress Lina was very nice and always smiling.

Sam and Bubba treated us really well, they were friendly and welcoming, served us quickly but didn't rush us. The meals were all delicious and our family of 6 had a great time.

Krisztina was a delight and they had lots of gluten free options. Great food and fun atmosphere sitting outside.

Delicious food, super sweet staff. Eating areas a little crowded but beautiful on a nice day

The bolognese was great, and the service from amoodi and the rest of the staff was excellent

Samuel gave great service with a smile!

Dinner was fantastic. Very good price, location and the treatment of the waiters was excellent. Highly recommended.

Excellent pronpt friendly aervice from Para.

Baba was very helpful and very friendly. Stirling employee. Not enough stars ✨️

Fast and good service by Kristina and delicious diner.

Lovely food and great service from Bama.

We had Bama as our server, he was great, was very good and attentive ! Service was great and food was great.

The salad was a real disaster, it was brown with a huge amount of sauce to hide it. In terms of size, you don't have enough to eat. The cocktail was full of water... Dont stop there !

Very nice service, good food in a popular area

Food was incredible, service was even better. Great place for a lasagna

I spent two weeks in London and we ate there at least 5 times. The food is delicious, abundant and the service is super friendly and efficient. The waiters are lovely, Cristina is super cute and attentive. Also a guy from Italy and the Manager. I will definitely return to that branch on Irving Street on my next trip.

Our server Bara was amazing so helpful!

proper traditional pizza and gnocchi. The whole family was very happy. The team is great, and the boss at the entrance of the restaurant adds a lot. Plus they are not taking too much advantage of the touristic location

Great food !!! Great service !!! Ended our day at the National Portrait Gallery and walked across the street and had an AMAZING Pizza! Valentina was our server !! All the best ! Brent F NC/USA

Gabriel provided excellent service

Food on the menu advertised outside was not available as the inside seating area (ie sea bass). One of our drinks - a bottle of Sicilian lemonade - the ice cubes tasted so strongly of fluoride that my partner had to fish them out and throw away. There was only one person around until about 12.30 ish - requesting anything ie ketchup - materialised at the end of the meal after three requests and the lady adjacent eventually went inside to find some salt after numerous requests. There were I suffient staff until 12.15-12.30 ish.

Extremely satisfied with service and food!!

Great food amazing waiters sam always polite and kind come now multiple times great place would recommend!!!

Brilliant food and service especially Sam always extremely polite and welcoming couldn’t recommend more ✅

Baba served us and was lovely! The food and drinks were yum :)

Good restaurant but we waited more than 40 minutes before being served even though there weren't many people there. Additionally, we had to ask the waiter about the status of our order. We had not been kept informed. Apart from this problem, the staff were welcoming and the food was good.

Amoodi was an excellent host! I’m in love with Bella Italia, fantastic food and service! Will be back very soon! ❤️

Nice spot with Not fresh Italian food as informed.

I give this 5 stars because on Wednesday 3rd July, at about 6pm we went here to grab some food. They fitted us in and the restaurant became totally full, with only 2 waiters running around doing EVERYTHING themselves with not a second to stand still. We were served by a gentleman called Samuel, and I don't know what his colleague's name was but she was working just as hard. The service was great and the food was delicious, and we had a very pleasant dining experience. Bella Italia, do better with your staffing, this was so unfair on your two waiters!!! Give them a bonus or something because they remained so polite even when customers started being rude or pushy because they had to wait a couple of minutes for the bill. They did a great job!

We stumbled upon this restaurant in the morning, and to our surprise they offered a breakfast menu! Very well priced & great service - Ilaria was enthusiastic and friendly. Would recommend to young families and tourists as a great spot to unwind or prepare for the day, with delicious food & a pleasant street view.

It was really good. There wasn't too long a wait and the waitress, Ilaria, was very cheerful, friendly and available. To do again!

Amazing food as always. Catered for us easily and are allergy as we are Coeliac. The service was extreamly speedy and was always busy but never left waiting. All the staff where lovely and friendly and multiple checked in on us. Our main server. Amoddi was very helpful and really friendly.

Ilaria was very knowledgeable and helped me choose a delicious meal. Thank you!

Lovely restaurant. Nice welcome. Situated in a lively area of Leinster square. First impressions when the menus were handed to us was, they need to reprint them as they are grubby from use. A good selection of dishes, well presented. My companions had meatballs and spaghetti which they were very happy with ,I had the gluten free penne pasta al Pomodoro, my pasta was not evenly cooked, and on one mouthful, was actually still crunchy, then some was overdone, seemed like two batches were mixed together, that's not great really, but on the whole, because of the delicious sauce, a very tasty dish. Service charge included in bill.

Very enjoyable, as the restaurant was not as busy as usual. There was a bit of a delay initially the starters, but you need to allow for food to cook. Food was very good, and I am Italian. Staff very attentive and polite and friendly.

Baba was our server and he was amazing. Really friendly and polite :)

Baba was our server and he was amazing! So welcoming and a great employee :)

Fantastic visit, Food was good and the service was brilliant from the moment we arrived through to leaving.

Ilarid, our server, was amazing and attentive! The food and drinks were delicious and affordable.

Our server, Ilarid, deserves a raise 10/10

Ilaria was very nice and the food was very good

The wine was terrible, they didn’t charge it though, and the spaghetti was poor, the girls attended very well I might say

Competent and kind staff, thank you Ilaria, see you soon

Our waitress Ilarki was very helpful and welcoming

good food, went after the kings bday, not too busy, staff very friendly

Cancelled by table booking for no reason! I only realised a day before the booking. Now what?

Baba was our server. He was fabulous.

Pablo was brilliant and very friendly food was amazing. Darren loves lemoncello

I had an amazing dinner here and our host Baba was a really wonderful guy definitely worth going. The food and desserts were mind boggling

Loved the cosy feel to the inside. We were served promptly by the very friendly staff. All food came out extremely quickly. We were not in a hurry, but we had ordered, eaten and paid for a three course meal in just over 1 hour. I would highly recommend Bella Italia to anyone who wants tasty, fresh food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Many thanks to Christian for the good attention.

We had a lovely time with such quick and friendly service from our waiter Pabba - the food was amazing as always !

I really enjoyed the meal. The person who served us was Kris2tina and she was very attentive and helpful. She even arranged that I could have extra chopped chilli.

The food and service was amazing. Baba was our server and he was extremely attentive. He made our experience memorable and enjoyable from the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left.

Fabulous meal with excellent, friendly service. The limoncello spritzer was superb

We had a wonderful family meal on an early summer evening so we were lucky enough to sit outside. Kristina was a wonderful server, attentive without being overbearing. Nothing was too much trouble. Would come back in a heartbeat.

I loved my server Baba. He was the kindest person to me. I wanted a special meal without tomatoes and he promised me to bring me one. Once he did he even put a flag on it ,,made with love” and there was a whole group of us and I was the only one who got it so I felt very special. Very cool sweet and kind.

It was a delicious black first meal with a friendly and handsome clerk!

Delicious food. Great service. Prices in the center are unfortunately very high.

Amazing service from Baba! Always asking if our food was ok and did a top job! Thank you for making our evening that bit more special. :)

Wonderful restaurant our server krisztina was very accomodating and all staff were great

The food was lovely. The service was magnificent. Our server baba was fantastic, he was funny and he spoke away to us and we felt very welcome. I highly recommend even for us being over from Ireland on our holiday we weren't disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Baba was our server and he was absolutely fantastic he was so polite and made us laugh and for me cause I said I loved cheese he made sure I had as much as I wanted. If I could rate him a 10 star I would, I would definitely come back for both service and food! The amount of food we got for an inexpensive price was amazing 🤩

Great food, great service, and definitely a great meal! Thanks to BABA❤️ I was pretty upset earlier today, and a little bit afraid to talk to anyone, but BABA was really friendly and nice. Highly recommend to have a meal here👍 When I found this restaurant, I was really hungry because the restaurant I wanted to go to earlier refused to accept guests dining alone. So in addition to being hungry, I also felt a little scared. I was afraid of being rejected again and afraid that others would think it was awkward to eat alone. It’s strange and I’m afraid that I can’t express what I need clearly. But the waiter BABA was very kind. After serving the meal, he would occasionally pass by me and ask me how my meal was and if I liked it. I like this kind of stress-free distance. (Before I left, I promised him that I would write a five-star review, so here I am! Hahahaha) Back to the food, I ordered Pomodoro Mozzarella, Prosecco, Galanti sparkling wine, and brownie. Pomodoro Mozzarella: If you like red sauce pasta and you happen to like cheese, then you must try this! It has a rich tomato sauce aroma and moderate acidity. It goes perfectly with pepper and freshly ground cheese powder. Mozzarella cheese cubes are also my favorite. In short, this dish is really delicious! The pairing with sparkling wine was purely an accident. I originally wanted to order red wine, but when I was ordering, I suddenly decided on this sparkling wine. It is very refreshing, slightly sour, and goes well with the noodles! As for the brownie, as a chocolate believer, I am even more satisfied. If you happen to also like brownies with vanilla ice cream, then it tastes absolutely right👍 The brownies are hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the cake is very moist. But it’s not too wet, and there’s a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and chocolate sauce on top to make it a great treat! (Yes, but the brownie is indeed on the sweet side, but I think it’s within the acceptable range, and the vanilla ice cream is a bit refreshing, which neutralizes the rich sweetness of the brownie. I like it very much. (When BABA asked me how the dessert was, what did I do? I don’t have time to speak, so I can only give likes with an “I love you so much” expression)

10/10- big up Amo, he was super helpful!

Great service with a smile!! Especially Amo :)

We ate very delicious and above all Christian's attention was excellent, we will return without a doubt!

A lovely evening. Our waiter at Irving Street, Baba, provided a fantastic service - we’d happily return for that alone!

Big thanks to Baba, made the visit for us! Great food and great staff!

The location of the place is nice. The taste is high/medium. Especially Tiramisu is very delicious. But there are better Italians in Istanbul...

The experience with Christian as a waiter was simply amazing. Their professionalism, kindness and attention to detail made our evening unforgettable. Not only did Christian provide exceptional service, he also added a special touch to our dining experience. Definitely an exceptional waiter who exceeded all of our expectations!

The food was very good. Christian's attention was great. I recommend it 100%
