    Napoli style lasagna with meatballs and feta cheese. It is quite different than original lasagna, do not expect to have usual lasagna. But, it was tasty. I expected to have a garlic bread and some chips as side but it was not a big deal because salad was quite tasty. Atmosphere is cosy, people are friendly. Especially we liked the tiramisu, it was so delicious and well prepared. Service was also top notch. Prices are normal.

    Real, authentic, delicious. Italian food done right. You can taste the tradition and the flair for good food. Perfect pizza crusts. The burger is absolutely to die for. Friendly, accommodating, efficient staff. Top marks for cleanliness, welcome, ingredients, and sheer taste. Cork needed an authentic Italian restaurant and this place sets a new bar for an exceedingly great Italian experience.

    This place is amazing! Like somebody bit off a little slice of Italy and spit it out in to the middle of cork city. Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff are extremely friendly. They know what they're doing and they are extremely knowledgeable about all the food and wine served in the restaurant, you can really tell making people happy is their main priority. I had the Beef burger whilst my husband Dino had the pizza Carne. Food is to die for, some Italian classics and some twists.

    We had cocktails, beef steak, salmon Fillets, Pizza and everything was really delicious! Being first time to an Italian restaurant and my experience was really good. Loved the ambience and the creativity on setting up the cocktail glasses as well as the main course. Must try in Cork!

    Fantastic new Italian restaurant serving pizza like you would get in Naples! They have wonderful Italian wines, Moretti Beer, and a very eclectic staff. It felt like a slice on Italy in Cork!

    Seems to be authentic Italian food, most staff were Italians as well. Pizza was delicious and they have an authentic pizza oven. The crab and prosecco linguine was unfortunately too salty, so we could not taste the different ingredients, but we're sure it would have been good if not so salty. They also have prawn, steaks, fish carbonara, bolognese and so on. Extremely attentive and friendly staff.

    Nice Italian restaurant where I enjoyed tasty bruschette di gamberini with Pinot Grigio and a huge pizza Vesuvius. πŸ˜‹ My Italian friend from Napoli would strongly recommend the sfogliatelle for dessert.

    The place looks great and staff are super friendly and patient with you. The food is too good, 5 stars are not enough. Everything on the menu tastes great. Tiramisu here is the best I ever had. It is made in house.

    The restaurant is not too bad, the music was not very loud and we preferred to eat outside, the pizza was a bit surprising, each quarter corresponded to a different type of pizza, interesting creation. The service was perhaps to be improved. The waiter came outside only occasionally to see us while we were running out of water. A bit of a shame. The homemade tiramisu was very good. Good address for pizzas.

    What a beautiful authentic Italian restaurant. We had a very tasty bruschetta for our starters and my sister had a beautiful napoletana pizza and I had pasta bolognese. The food came so quickly, the staff were very attentive and the vibe in the restaurant was so lovely and cosy.

    Wanted to try this place for a while, as it's one of the few, if not only places that makes Carbonara the correct way! Food was delicious, staff were very friendly, attentive and efficient. Even though we sat outside in Oct weather, the heaters kept us very warm and they provide blankets also. Food was super hot, so stayed warm for ages. Will definitely be back again! My go-to Italian from now on!

    So nice I visited twice while in Cork! Pizza and pasta both delicious, tiramisu lovely, staff kind. ☺️ Customers speaking Italian both times I've been in, so you know it's authentic!

    This place is an absolute gem! So romantic, so Italian and the food is just delicious! I came in for coffee and dessert but I can’t wait to come back to Cork to book in for a romantic meal. Love this place!

    Defo not my kind of pizza. Unfortunately, even if good, I don't like it as too burned. Too much soot in in it. I ate half of it. But I see it is my thing so good for the people who don't mind the soot. I mind it. However staff is nice. Not the cheapest price but it's average for ireland

    This is my second time in Bella Napoli, We decided to order the mushroom and steak risotto and the Carne pizza. The pizza is authentic Italian pizza that you would find in Italy. The dough was perfect, as well as the mozzarella and they give a generous amounts of salami and prosciutto on the pizza. However the steak and mushroom risotto was under whelming. The steak had no flavor and I felt that they used a cheap cut of steak for this dish even though it cost 19.90. There was too much onion in the dish and a very small amount of steak pieces. I was very disappointed with my choice. The service is fast and the staff are extremely polite.
