    Took my partner here for her birthday just before hitting the theatre 🎭 and was really surprised to how friendly and helpful the staff were. We were quickly seated 🪑 without a reservation but it was a Monday night so possibly check if your going on a weekend. All the food we ordered came out quickly and tasted really good, from the olives 🫒 and garlic bread topped with cheese to the pasta 🍝 mains all tasted fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning in the near future.

    Lovely place, although note that I came during the day on a regular Monday, an not around the theatre time when I am sure it is quite busy. The food was delicious and the service is great. They cater well for allergies.

    We were pleasantly surprised by how legit Bella Italia was for Italian food. The pizzas were perfect and the pesto with sundried tomatoes was deliciously comforting. For a moment, it took us back to a beloved country, Italia!

    Super expensive and tasteless carbonara with cream and bacon. Meatball and spaghetti was nothing to brag about. If you're Italian or have eaten Italian food don't come here, you'll be disappointed. They served the food in 10minutes, weird

    We had a fabulous dinner at Bella Italia after seeing Lion King- The restaurant is a 1 minute walk from the Lyceum Theatre. We only had to wait a few minutes for a table, and server EZI provided excellent service. We shared a pizza, and it was delicious. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and was the perfect place to eat after seeing Lion King

    The food was good. It came nice and hot and tasted delicious. It was really full though and could do with less tables because of the amount of tables and chairs It felt cramped. Overall good service except when it came time to pay you had to go up instead of the usual come to your table service that you usually get at restaurants. Staff were polite but they needed more staff because at the time there were only 2 members of staff out front hence long waiting times. Other than that it was ok.

    Fabulous atmosphere, very busy but this did not stop the staff from being helpful, amazing and funny

    Very lovely little restaurant very close to most of the Theatres and Covent Garden. Great service from the team. Food is okay but not as it used to be. Some of the favourite dishes are not on the menu and the options available are just okay. This is just me but most people may like the menu options.

    Emre was so nice and friendly! It was a great time, food is good and portions are big. Affordable as well - they have a 2-course set meal for £19.99.

    Food was not bad as a causal chain restaurant; service was ok too. Just a bit crowded here. But that’s expected as it’s just next to the Covent Garden.

    I went last night with my daughter before the Theatre a (Wed) We booked a table for two. Lively atmosphere had to speak loudly to be heard the wooden chairs scrapping on the floor was a bit annoying. We took a table by the window. Lovely drinks. I had a tutti frutti, delicious. Waiter was friendly, I ordered a seafood risotto which I had to wait 20 mins for which I was ok with, my daughter had a veggie pizza, he brought the wrong one to start with (had meat on) oops. Both are very tasty, although the risotto only had one piece of squid, plenty of prawns and mussels so three different seafood. The portion size was good. Didn't have dessert or a coffee.

    A small (cosy) restaurant with top quality food. The service was fantastic. In a prime spot in Covent Garden, with a nicely priced menu for the average passer by. Would highly recommend.

    Fantastic and quick service. Emre was very helpful and recommended the lasagne which was 100% worth it! The brownie and cookie dough for dessert were also amazing mixed together. Definitely back again! Thanks Emre!

    Visited around 7, the place was very busy but we were seated almost immediately. We ordered just a few things, calamari from starters and Bolognese and Gamberoni (spaghetti with prawns and chilli) Amazing taste for both plates!! Bolognese was just melting in the mouth!! The fried calamari was unexpectedly delicious! Finished with a cup of lovely hot cappuccino, just the way I like my coffee! We were served by Michal, who made our first visit in Bella Italia a beautiful and memorable experience! He was kind, polite, fast and very friendly! Definitely will come back for more pasta!🍝

    This place was everything I needed it to be! The service was so kind and friendly. The food was amazing. Restaurant was cozy with the most charming staff! Thank you Emre. The dessert was to die for and I can't wait to come back! Order a dip to start and the cookie to end the meal!

    Food was quite mid, especially for the price. The gamberi pasta better than the tomato one. The starter was mediocre too. Nothing special, save your money. The service was lovely tho. 🥰

    Best service I got in a restaurant in London. Michi was super friendly and attentive. Multiple options for vegan and non-vegan dishes and quite good price-quality.

    Anna war eine super nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt und es ging sehr schnell. Die Musik im Restaurant war leider etwas zu laut. Im Großen und Ganzen waren wir aber sehr zufrieden.

    Lovely Italian restaurant next to Covent Garden. Basic italian food with good quality. Recommend Lasagne. The service was awesome.

    Paulo is very friendly. His service is great, and the food is also very delicious. It's a great experience. I will come again next time.

    A good choice to visit before a theatre show. The prices were reasonable and portion sizing was good. Food quality was very good. Note it has downstairs seating with no lift. Toilets are clean but very small given the size of the location.

    Went there occasionally, cause the place which we wanted to go to was fully booked. Not bad. Not expensive. Minus one star because I asked the waiter to make me spaghetti and don't put spicy stuff, but at the end the dish was super spicy, I ate a little and gave it to my husband. But in general, everything was nice.

    Highly recommend! The food is authentic and delicious. Service here is quite good, and a huge part of it was thanks to our waiter, Paulo.

    Great place with great food and service (we where there at the beginning of December 2023,where it was really busy). My friend Agnes and I were delighted, especially since it's hard to find a restaurant with delicious gluten-free food. This place met our expectations and Anna, who served us is a person created to work with customers, she helped and advised us and enchanted us with her smile and enthusiasm. Thank you very much. We come back for sure. Betty and Aga
