This place was so cute and my husband enjoyed his regular pasta dish. Unfortunately, my gluten free pasta was underdone and inedible. The waitress said nothing could be done about it because the pasta comes that way from their supplier. I ended up ordering a flatbread and it was amazing, and the waitress was kind enough to not charge for the pasta. So if you come here, get a pizza or flatbread!

They had lots of gf options! The gf pasta needed to be cooked longer. I find sometimes people don’t know that gf pasta has to cook longer so they cook it for the normal amount of time and it’s way too al-dente. The gf garlic bread was very good tho!

Offered GF bread, pasta, pizza and desserts! Amazing experience having dinner here and had lots of choices. Stumbled across this when another Italian restaurant was full and so glad we did.

Serving staff seemed very knowledgeable. You can check out the menu online to see what is safe to eat. They indicated that gf pizza would be cooked in the same oven as standard pizza so I opted for pasta instead which was delicious. Food wasn’t labelled for the table which I have experienced in other branches of Bella Italia but I felt safe. Service and meal excellent.

GF marked clearly in the menu, and waiter knowledgeable and able to manage enquiries - food was great, I had the GF a pasta and the gf garlic bread. The desserts were based on GF oats (which I am not convinced are safe for me) so I left that out, but there are lots of options if that’s not a problem

Ate here on our first night. Very knowledgeable about GF and can pretty much make any dish GF. My daughter had spaghetti bolognese and the other one had buffalo pomodoro. They even got to try some flatbread GF! Great and friendly wait staff.. can even sit outside.
