Awesome meal, professional and personable service. My pick of Queenstown restaurants. The food was authentic, contemporary, fresh and just spot on.

An intimate dining environment, although maybe a bit tight for the numbers dining on the Friday night our foursome went there. The cold night was quickly warmed up by the warm and boisterous environment with everyone obviously enjoying themselves. The menu, which appears to change nightly had all the special pasta, pizza and mains one might have expected from a... More

Very well pleased with my margarita pizza with Parma ham on it. Crispy crust and cooked to perfection. I now need to go back and try their pastas as they must be just as good.

Ate dinner here twice because we loved the food and the friendly atmosphere. Thought we were in Tuscany!

Fantastic, fresh and original. You must not pass up the beef carpaccio. The menu always changes so it's a diffrent experience everytime. The team behind this restaurant have others in town however they are not in the same league. Please team don't let Bella suffer the same fate of Wai and the once brilliant Post Office Cafe.

Service was good, pizzas tasted nice. Our 7 year old was given free ice cream. Happy to recommend. Right opposite the Sofitel Hotel where we stayed.

Excellent little spot for a tasty selection of Italian dining. Very busy so book ahead as very popular with locals and in an excellent central location. Pasta was good, Carpaccio was excellent and the lamb was perfect with a good panacotta to finish. All round enjoyable. Recommended.

We walked in off the street and were lucky enough to get a table for 2 in a very crowded restaurant. The staff were fabulous and our food was fabulous and the price was very reasonable. Our only criticism was not with the staff but with parents who let their very young children run around and play with a ball... More
