A deceivingly large restaurant, with some additional seating on an upper mezzanine area & a large downstairs area. Food & drink were decent & ideal for our pre show lunch situated just over the road.

Quick service, the food was served quickly and both the quality and quantity of the food were good. The staff is very kind and friendly. The ambience is also nice. Overall 5/5 stars.

The food was amazing, tried a new pasta recipe with pancetta and chicken and it was really good! The staff and Gabriel was very nice! Thumbs up ??

We went in on the off chance and they found us a table even though it was really busy. The 2 waitresses were run off their feet but were friendly, polite and fast. Really good experience.

The pasta was really good! The environment was lovely, and the waiter Gabriel was very kind and made good recommendations! :) it was also a reasonable price

Looking for a cozy place, we walked in for a snack but looking at the menu felt we had to try the pasta and pizza! And glad we did! Joanna helped us throughout with recommendations and made sure we enjoyed each dish and drinks we had.Loved the garlic flatbread she recommended! The carbonara and calzone were amazing and I was so full but couldn?t say no to the cookie dough dessert!Definitely will be back!

The food was excellent, but the service was poor. We'd booked a table at a certain time but had to wait outside for fifteen minutes before we could sit down.The service was appalling, although I didn't blame the staff. They were seriously understaffed. Two waiters in a large restaurant on Strand at 7pm in the run up to Christmas? They're having a laugh. It was chaotic.To pay, you were required to scan the QR code on a card on your table. It then asks for your table number, and you are expected to pay via digital means on your smartphone. I refused to do this for two reasons:1. It required me to enter my name and email address; and2. It had included the now ubiquitous 12.5% 'service charge' ('so we don't have to pay our staff a decent wage'), which was baked into the total and couldn't be removed.

Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I have had. Gabriel our waiter was a 10/10 with kind and friendly service. The food was delicious and will definitely visit again.

Incredibly slow to bring out food. Wasn't even particularly busy when we got there. Once it did get busy the staff couldn't cope with food and drink orders - too busy making drinks rather than serving the food. As a result, when we finally got our food it was luke warm at best. Even then we only got our food once we asked when we were likely to get it!

Had a wonderful evening! Got the lasagne and partner got the Christmas pasta, which were both delicious. The best part however was the service, especially from Gabriel, who was funny and helpful. He was literally running around providing top customer service to everyone! Thanks for the night Gabriel!

As someone who can?t eat gluten, it can be very difficult to find stuff i can eat that also tastes good. Bella Italia has plenty of GF options and they?re all so yummy. Tonight my friend and i went for dinner and we had Gabriel as our server - he was so funny and hospitable! i highly recommend asking for him specifically if you come to this location:)

Excellent service by Gabriel at Bella Italia! The Christmas pizza was quite good and the lasagna was a great comfort meal. Cozy vibes and lovely at Christmas time - a great location as well.

Awful meal, ordered ?strawberry? cheesecake which had a very fake strawberry flavour, and weird consistency. Also hot chocolate seemed to be a regular supermarket one. Carbonara had a horrible taste as well, instead of bella italia we had a not ?bella? experience:(

We came here as part of a dinner & theatre experience with Virgin. We waited in the cramped porch with about 10 other people and took a long time for someone to take us to our table. They gave us a very limited group menu, and the menu itself was paper and covered in stains. The waitress never saw to us, it was heaving and clearly understaffed. And our cutlery was greasy and badly cleaned. We decided to leave.The fact we had an offer of a free meal and still left says it all
