    Booked here for a lunch today for my mother’s birthday. She ordered bolognese. I ordered the chicken cacciatore. It arrived and we began to eat. First my mother noticed big chunks of carrot in her bolognese and was not impressed along with the fact that the pasta was over cooked and was slimy. Mine seemed to be alright. I then ordered tiramisu for dessert. Well, all I can say is look at the photo…needless to say we asked to pay the bill. Having said that, the waitress was absolutely lovely. Fifteen minutes after we left, my stomach started to cramp and I had to dash to a nearby w.c!!! Sadly,I will not recommend at all.

    Interior design is beautiful, I went with my family and all ordered different food. Food was average nothing special (starter and side wasn’t great). Mock tails i do not recommend, was loyally over priced sparking juice. I would maybe still go again because of the atmosphere.

    It's a nice place with tasty food. However the portions are small. We ordered 3 course set menu. Bruschetta Pomodoro was nice but it was extremely solid (more than it should have been) which made it hard to eat. I really enjoyed Pollo Cacciatore, it was very delicious especially onion and mushroom were cooked very well. I wasn't really a fan of Ragu D'antra, I found it overly cooked and didn't really really liked the combination of duck and pecorino cheese with pasta. For an Italian place their tiramisu is really horrible, but their wine selection is good. Overall I was satisfied but didn't made a big impact as I hoped.

    We had a lovely evening with great tasting food from the set menu. The waiter we had paid attention to when we needed our next course and dirty items removing. Our waiter was also attentive to the cutlery we needed for each course. Was a lovely evening. Only negative would be the tables were a little to close together which meant people were brushing you as they walked passed. An extra 20cm space between tables would have been better :)

    Bella Italia offers a delightful culinary journey through the heart of Italian flavors. From the moment you step in, the ambiance resonates with a cozy, authentic Italian charm. The menu boasts a diverse selection, catering to various tastes with classic pasta dishes, wood-fired pizzas, and delectable desserts. I started with their flavorful bruschetta with a refreshing blend of ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil, perfectly balanced. For the main course, the pepperoni stole the show with its rich texture and the unearthly taste of spices. Every bite felt like a symphony of flavors. One of main things in restaurants is the staff. I had Valerija for my table and she was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful providing recommendations that elevated the dining experience. The warm and inviting atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. While the prices reflect the quality of the dishes, it's a worthwhile investment for an authentic Italian dining experience. Bella Italia undoubtedly stands out as a haven for those seeking genuine Italian cuisine and a welcoming ambiance

    Went here for dinner and I must say, this place has excellent service. My server Andre was wonderful. The food and drinks came out very quickly. The drinks were tasty and big so need for a second cocktail wasn’t necessarry. I opted to have the set 3-course menu, for my starter I chose the Mushroom dish, my main was the pomodoro pasta and the tiramisu for dessert. The mushroom dish was tasty but lacked flavor. The sauce that it came with was watery which made it slightly unpleasant. The pomodoro pasta was very bland and also watery which also made it unpleasant. Dessert was delicious, not too appealing to the eye but it was delicious. My companion who dined with me also had similar views, savory dishes lacking flavor but a delicious dessert.

    We came here because of "Taste Card" (they have 2 for 1 deals) thinking it would be a cheap dinner for 2, but ended up paying more than we thought (£40). Food was alright all in all, the starters were great, the mains were alright, we had the duck pasta (super sweet) and the mac and cheese (bit plain), and the deserts were not for us, the ice-cream dough balls were frozen solid and the semifredo was more ice-creamy than mousse. Atmosphere and service was good. Recommend! Ps: plan to arrive early as parking is tricky to find!

    I then had the vegan cookie dough with sorbet instead of ice-cream which was huge and even though I thought I'd never finish it, it was so good I polished it off in no time. I can't wait to visit again and explore the rest of the menu.

    Great staff. Special 18th birthday meal for my daughter. Staff members friendly. I have certain allergies. Very well catered for.

  • 5/5 Anton S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice menu and tasty food. The most important that the kitchen here works in the late hours. I was served after 22:00. It is difficult to find a place nearby that would work at this time.

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic service although the restaurant was very busy. It clearly needed more waiting staff but managers filled the gap well. We will definitely be back.

    Excellent food, been there a few times, tried different dished and i never been dissapointed. Keep up the good work guys!

  • 1/5 Zoe A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely appalling. Ordered a Bolognese on my birthday and the portion of mince was so small I ended up cooking something else. Rang up to complain and the manager Andrew had the cheek to ask if I had looked under the spaghetti for more filling. He said there was no way to prove it was a small portion. Rang the restaurant manager Maggie who was not apologetic and started making excuses and defending the staff member. She said that the customer is not always right. I understand that mistakes happen and staff are busy but their attitude was appalling.

    The food was really nice, and service was good, could have been more upbeat but that's just our opinion. The atmosphere, and music was really good and there was a good selection of non and alcoholic drinks.

  • 5/5 Munich M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely meal here, the food was very nice. There is a good selection of food and drink available on the menu at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and service was good. It's in a good location for going out for the evening. Tables aren't too cramped together, and there's a nice cozy atmosphere in the evening.

    Tasty Italian Restaurant in the Coventry City Center. I think they are the best Italian Restaurant in this town. I ordered Carbonara, Lasagna, and Margerita Pizza and everything was great! I love their service, always smile and quick. Good place for a bit fine dining in Coventry. High recommendee!

    Ordered from Deliveroo, no option to leave a review. The meatball pasta was so bland it may as well have had no sauce on it.. garlic dough balls and dip was great and fries were good, but there was a LOT of salt in the fries. I would recommend just getting a microwave meal, they have more flavour than the pasta I was served

    Very warm atmosphere, food looks and tasted amazing, it has more of a trattoria vibe then an restaurant.
