Bella Italia Islington

We were invited to attend a sales event where they show their menus for events. the focus was also on pizza making as an interesting activity for guests. when I was booked twice, I managed to get there for the desserts that it was worth. bella italia has never been especially cool or even known for good eating, but I will say I was thrilled at desserts. that's rare for me. the place is close to where I live and I come to the fishing center to shop, so I can go through the route home or even before a cinema trip to see what the pasta has to offer. the dessert tasting dishes were, cheesecake, salted caramel, pannacotta with celestial and other bits. a nice, if not short intro to the place.

So delicious, friendly staff had a really good experience. highly recommended. I had a pasta lunch so affordable! best italian I had in london

On the first day in london. server was super friendly. eating was quite good with large portions. the place looks beautiful and relaxed.

Visited for dinner on a Tuesday night and had the vegan bean burger and the vegan lentil spirals. We enjoyed both the dishes and I would order them again. I would say that the bun on the burger was a bit stale and was cold. It may have been nicer if it was toasted. A nice spot for food if you are going to the cinema near by.

Had a wonderful night here. There were nine of us, and it was busy, so service was a little slow. But the food was amazing, and the staff were even better! Slight criticism is that I could see my food on the counter for a few minutes before it was brought over, and therefore it wasn't hot, but they took it back and brought out a new one within minutes! Our server Alessandra was absolutely amazing, and even put candles in a brownie for my friend whose birthday it was (without being asked). Had a lovely meal, despite there being some differences in meals even though they'd ordered the same thing (i.e. some had cranberry sauce with their Tacchino Paupiette and others didn't). I ordered the gluten free Tagliatelle Capra, and the tagliatelle was substituted with a gluten free penne, which was fine, and delicious. I'd recommend going there, with both big and small groups. I suggest you call to make a reservation though, as they do get busy, especially around this time of year.
