Customer Review Summary
Pasta draws the most praise, from a goats cheese pasta that one diner says melted in the mouth to a pollo funghi the kitchen swapped onto rigatoni without a fuss. Reviewers also describe generous portions and fresh ingredients. Close behind is the service, where servers are repeatedly called friendly and quick, and one chatted with guests in Spanish. Spritzes, gluten free options including desserts, and tables outside in the sun also earn mentions. The complaints are sharper. One reviewer describes slow service in a quiet room, a cremated pizza, missing items taken off the bill and a tip that staff tried to add, with no apology offered. Another found the pizza small and the duck and mushroom pasta sweet in an artificial way, and thought two mains pricey. Still, one server cleaned a guest's water bottle and helped charge phones.

“Enjoyed a wonderful meal outside in the sunshine for a special occasion at Bella Italia Irving Street a few weeks ago and had a fab experience in this wonderful central London location - great atmosphere, food and service at an amazing price! Took advantage of Bella Italia’s £5 pasta dish promotional which made it a really affordable and enjoyable trip out. We were well looked after throughout by Baba, who was super friendly and helped make this occasion a really lovely memory for our family. Would definitely recommend!”

“Best Italian restaurant in London! Food was amazing, service was fantastic, and the restaurant was busy but did not feel crowded. We had multiple pasta dishes, desserts, and wine. Numerous gluten free options, even desserts! I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Amo and Solange were a treat and served us kindly. Thank you for your service. Amo cleaned a water bottle for us too and helped us charge our phones which is perfect when in central London. Thanks for the help!”

“Service was appallingly slow, to say how quiet the restaurant was. Food arrived, missing part of the order, and my pizza was absolutely cremated, inedible. I had to ask for it to be taken off the bill, along with the items we didn't receive, then waited ages to pay. When it came to paying, the staff member had the cheek to try and put the 12.5% tip on without me noticing. Of course I knew this might happen, and pointed it out before paying. I stated that I wouldn't be leaving any tip as I hadn't actually been able to eat my dinner, and my half of one of our party's food had been missing. No apology was received, and we were honestly made to feel like an inconvenience. Definitely wouldn't return.”
