Our space is ideal for large groups, but also for families and couples. Were all about the pizza! Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato. Plus cocktails, imported and locally brewed beers, and some carefully selected wines from independent wineries.

We had another amazing experience at Bella Venezia, especially so as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We had the 7 course degustation dinner which was wonderful. We particular would like to mention the wonderful attention and service provided by Tonino, which made our experience even me to remember.

I had a chicken and lamb yiro which was delicious. Ample filling and very appetising. The petite dessert was extra special as I love chocolate torte and baklava so could have both without having to make a decision. The only disappointment was the coffee. It wasn’t served very hot and maybe it was the coffee blend but it didn’t taste quite right. Service was excellent especially as the restaurant was busy with Christmas parties. Staff were also great. 9/10 overall.
