Whilst staying at a hotel in Shaftesbury Avenue we took a short walk to the restaurant for our evening meal. As a disabled visitor I was treated with respect and fully supported by the staff. All staff were professional and courteous. The whole meal…starter, mains, drinks etc were of a high standard and incredibly tasty. An excellent value for money meal and experience. I’d certainly recommend a visit.

Walked by BELLA ITALIA Shaftesbury Ave around 16.00 hours and walked in to see if we could get a table for 2 at 17.30 We were received by Victoria who said she was full but would somehow find us a table and when we returned a short while later she had! Despite the restaurant being at capacity within 15 minutes of us arriving we were given 5 star treatment and those around us I could see were well looked after. She was the perfect host. The food came without delay although the main course was only luke warm Victoria sorted accordingly. Even when hot the Carbonara was uninspiring being dry and lacking any form of "sauce." Sadly also the Tiramisu was disappointing being outclassed by other Italian restaurants. So my score of 4 out of 5 goes 5 star to Victoria but only 3 star for the food. Well done and thank you Victoria, your service made up for the disappointing food.

I went with my daughter for her birthday before our theatre booking..we are both gluten free.not by choice but for over 20 years. we ordered what we could..this is the first restaurant we have been to when a risotto is not gluten free..we placed our order..my chicken pasta meal came cold & under cooked which I asked to be reheated...still wasn't acceptable & my daughter had to order 3side dishes as the salad she ordered off the gluten free menu was apparently not gluten free..we were also charged £4.79 for a tiny dish of gluten free coleslaw..£8.29 for a so called brushetta which was just a plate of tomatoes & a plain gluten free flatbread..definitely not a brushetta. On top of all that we were charged £8.73 service charge...without being told that would be added to my bill...I tip as I see fit & although the service was good the food was definitely not acceptable for the price...sorry but wouldn't recommend..

On est rentré dans le resto à 19h il y avait encore qq places libres ! La responsable de salle très agacée par le monde nous fait attendre mais semble complètement dépassée par la situation ! Elle nous hurle dessus pour qu on n avance pas sauf que les gens auraient aimé pouvoir se déplacer pour aller aux WC … bref très mal accueilli on décide de quitter rapidement ! Les serveurs semblaient sympa mais celle qui gérait la salle était plus que non pro dommage pour cette enseigne!

Zoltan, nuestro camarero, era muy acogedor y proporcionó un gran servicio para mí y mi familia. Él era muy amable y se fijó en nosotros durante toda la noche, que fue muy apreciado.

Las mesas están tan juntas que hay muchas mesas para el espacio. Camarero acaba de tirar bebidas en la mesa, tuvimos que perseguir a los camareros para conseguir cualquier servicio. Nos dijeron que sería una espera de 40 minutos para la comida, así que cuando llegó en 20 que era bueno, aparte de las patatas fritas estaban mal cocidas y frías. Los postres estaban destinados a ser calientes, pero llegaron fríos. Nadie preguntó cómo estaba la comida, pagamos la comida y las bebidas y nos fuimos después de obtener el cargo por servicio de casi £ 10 eliminado de la factura.

El personal era agradable y el lugar estaba ocupado, pero la pasta era horrible! Pizza estaba bien... sin duda no recomendaría la comida. Era tan soso... que el capuchino era solo café con leche caliente en un microondas

Chouette accueil, sympa, service rapide. Bonnes pizzas, bonnes pates mais pas en grande quantité. Juste un petit regret.. tips imposé sur l’addition.. pas très honnête de s’y prendre de cette façon. C’est une chaîne de pizzeria à Londres.

I went to celebrate my birthday with my friends. The food was good, the youngest waitress was amazing but the manager was rude. I requested to split the bill and pay for all the drinks, she said yes but after to do that by myself. I work in events and this kind of attitude with us, grumpy and nervous also isn't professional at all. They offer me a free of any drinks and a main because is my birthday. The main reason for that is the service, people are avoiding the place. With this attitude hospitality isn't for you.

Had matinee tickets booked at the Apollo Theatre so stopped at Bella Italia for pre-theatre lunch. We had no booking but were promptly shown to a table. I am a coeliac and the menu catered very well for a gluten free diet. The food was excellent as was the service. We would not hesitate to come back here pre or post theatre.

This was a great spot for a dinner before the theatre. The server was amazing as the place was very busy with theatre goers like us. Food was good with special attention paid to gluten free requirements.

Terrible experience We ordered one pasta carbonara and one pizza Pepperoni The carbonara were tasteless and not even well cooked.. it seems there were cooked without salt in the water, the cream was really fat and the bacon not enough cooked. The pizza was fresh frozen ! All this for 50Pounds … The staff of the restaurant should be ashamed of what they serve !

Very convenient for Apollo Theatre. Attentive staff, very helpful. Reasonable priced food especially for being in central London. Quick service too being served and on obtaining the bill. Quite a tight squeeze on the tables for 2, but does create a cosy atmosphere.

Called on on a busy Sunday and was seated straight away. Nice atmosphere and we looked over the menu. The wine list is very small especially for red wine. Ordered the combo. We shared a stater of mozzarella sticks and cheesy dough which were both hot and very tasty. Our mans were pepperoni pizza and spaghetti carbonara. The pizza was warm not hot which cooled very quickly which was a shame as it was tasty. The carbonara was also tasty but the temp was also warm. The bill was reasonable except for the compulsory service charge. I hate this compulsory charge. It should be left to the individual to tip.

Five of us called in while in London nearby for a business lunch. Very different as you have to do down into an underground area. The decor is modern but with an industrial/classic feel. I am not a fan of pizza but we all ordered pizza as recommended by one of our group and I am glad we did as it was very good - as far as pizza goes. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend for somewhere interesting and quirky. The only down side was it was a bit pricey but I suppose we were in London!

Walking I noticed this small pizzeria characterized by a wood oven. The furniture is typical of an Italian trattoria. The staff is friendly, rapid and attentive to the customer just as you expect in Italy. The pizza is exceptional. The dough is well leavened and, therefore, light. The condiments are of excellent quality. Cooking is perfect. Excellent beer and ice cream also fully satisfies the palate. The account is adequate.
