Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the meatballs and the pizza and lasagna as standouts, with one reviewer calling the tomato based sauce "to die for" and another praising the lasagna as rich in flavor with fresh ingredients. Several mention the gelato and ice cream at the end of the meal, and staff are described across multiple visits as friendly and welcoming, with one server especially thanked by name for making a table feel at home. A birthday and Father's Day visit were both called special occasions made better by the food and staff. But the pattern is not uniform: one longtime customer's repeat visits grew steadily disappointing, citing a basic overpriced side salad and staff audibly complaining about rising costs, while another described a stir fry tagliatelle reduced to boiled vegetables in tomato sauce and a tasteless sirloin steak, though that reviewer still called the service excellent. A few also found dishes like the meatballs merely basic.

“From an italian who knows their food my wife and I can honestly say we absolutely loved eating here. Everything was just like we are used to, quality so good you could taste the love it was made with. They're welcomed us like family. Can't wait to return when we visit filey again... Franco and Lisa.”

“We have always enjoyed the food here before but this was a huge disappointment. Stir fry tagliatelle was boiled carrot, cauliflower and peas with tomato sauce, stired into pasta. Awful really. Sirloin steak with mushrooms was tasteless. However the service was , as always, excellent.”
- Michelle Bell
“Been 7 times now. Each time it has felt a little more disappointing... The first time, we were blown away by the food - though never once had a check back.... The second time, the food wasn't quite up to the first. The third time was Christmas 2025; it was quite poor, and the waitress was more interested in touting for tips... 🙄 Not sure if there were medical problems at that point, but we were empathetic. The last few few visits have been disappointing. Staff complaining loudly about expenses increasing, for example. Embarrassing and awkward! Side salad, the most expensive and basic ever! For a number of veggie side dishes (we don't eat meat), and a hefty bill, we most certainly won't be back sadly.”

“This is an absolute class restaurant. The chef and front of house can't be faulted. Amended the menu to match true Italian cuisine when we enquired as we don't like cream in our carbonara etc. real gelato, service with a smile. The food …”

““My experience at Bella Italia was absolutely amazing! The pizza was delicious and perfectly baked, and the lasagna was rich in flavor with fresh ingredients. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very cozy. Without a doubt, I rate it 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine! 🤍 …”
