This place was packed with locals, which is always a good sign. The food was great, at very reasonable rates. There's a lovely ambiance about the restaurant - some lovely common rooms, used for the guests staying there. The staff were also very friendly. I will definitely be back again, next time in Tralee More

Didn't eat there, called in for a table, they were full and the hostess looked at us like we were pieces of dirt. Won't be going back, that woman needs to learn how to meet and greet people - she does not work at the Ritz! Customer service is the key to a good business and word of mouth is... More

I eat here every time I go to Tralee. I'm actually really surprised it isn't number 1 on the list. It's fantastic food and the menu is huge and very vegetarian friendly. The bruschetta is a personal favourite. Also love the garlic mushrooms and the minestrone. I can never choose what to get for main course, so many great choices.... More

Was here lately on a Friday night, place was packed and we were sitting at the bar for a good 25minutes waiting for table that had been booked.. Staff running around like headless chickens, table management was a bit on the low side, one man kept reassuring us that this and that wouldnnt be long, but it was long.. But... More

The ambience in Bella Bia is second to nine in Tralee. Food is delicious and the price isn't too bad either for what you get. I can't fault the place. More
