Finding a restaurant in London is not difficult. Finding a good one requires (almost every time) that you move off the main street(s) and into be smaller "back"-streets. When in the Aldwych-area you may be tempted to just try restaurants along e.g. The Strand, but make the effort and move a up a block. Bella Italia is located close to... More

From day one of the booking we found the staff to be most helpful and welcoming. Staff even decorated the table area with balloons and banners and when the birthday cake was brought out a number of staff also came... More

The food was cold so had to send back and ask them to reheat in the microwave as it was getting late. The restaurant is cramped. Would not recommend.

This was my family's last night in London so we opted for fun, simple Italian fare as a farewell. Oh dear. We ordered 2 Quattro Stagioni pizzas, a seafood tagliatelle and a lasagna. The other meals were ok but the pizzas were horrid. There was barely anything on top of them, the dough was unedible, they tasted like frozen pizzas... More
