About Bella Italia - Coventry
Bella Italia is a restaurant in Coventry's Belgrade Plaza, on Unit 1 4, with a terrace that looks across to the Belgrade Theatre, which suits a meal before a show. The menu covers pizzas, including a vegan pizza and calzone, alongside pasta dishes such as pulled duck pasta and spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Grills are also on the menu. In the afternoon, a lunch offer pairs a main with a drink. The team provides table service and checks in with diners during the meal. Coffee is served too, for anyone stopping by outside a full meal.

Customer Review Summary
Pasta is what reviewers praise most, with the spicy sausage pasta singled out for its spice and tenderness, and the pulled duck pasta with plum sauce called really nice. Spinach and ricotta cannelloni and spaghetti carbonara are described as stonking by one couple. Others mention a vegan pizza one diner enjoyed, a calzone called perfect, and pizzas with a satisfying crispy crust. Portions are described as large or generous. Coffee earns separate praise from one regular, who calls it rich and Italian and likes the terrace overlooking the theatre. Several describe a cozy, pleasant atmosphere quiet enough to hold a conversation. The caveats are small but specific: one reviewer found lots of oil at the bottom of a main, another calls the prices a little pricey, and one wishes for more salad choices. One suggests asking for the lunch offer. Servers are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and a solo diner notes that staff still checked in regularly.

“Andrew is the best server ever, we’ve been coming here as a family for years. Always greeted with the biggest smile, friendly chat and always goes above and beyond to make our visit perfect. As a family we love Bella’s and especially when Andrew is on shift.”

“I had the lunch offer. The £10 menu for a main and a drink. The atmosphere is very cozy , make sure you ask for the offer if you go there for it. It’s from 12-5pm I think ( not super sure. Verify on website pls ) The portions are large , food was nice but lots of oil at the bottom.”

“The waiter was lovely and helpful. I had the vegan pizza and it was the first I had enjoyed. There were orders for pasta and Calzone and both were perfect. Would recommend. A little pricey, but you tend to get what you pay for.”

Highlights
“Pop in for a pre-show bite or a family evening out at our Coventry Italian restaurant. Were right opposite the Belgrade Theatre in the Belgrade Plaza, serving crisp traditional pizzas, piping hot bowls of pasta and succulent grills. Our welcoming staff serve everything with a side order of fun, so stop by for a tasty treat or crack open a bottle of bubbly at our outdoor seating area - whatever you have in mind, weve got something for everyone! Pop by after a film at the Odeon Skydome, or a trip to West Orchards, were open every day.”
