Arrived in York for our annual visit and went to bella italia for lunch. We come each year and the food never disappoints. Very friendly and attentive staff and the service was fast too. Lovely meal. We had a voucher and gift cards so our meal was very reasonable by the time the discounts came off.
Lovely friendly staff and gorgeous food. Couldnt ask for more. Would highly recommend
On a busy Saturday morning in the centre of York we came upon Bella Italia.
We had no idea they are a "chain" - decor is pleasant, greeting very friendly and welcoming.
We just wanted coffee - no problem.
Window table excellent coffee- hot and flavoursome.
We opted for two more coffees and indulged in cheesecake and tiramisu- both fresh and delicious.
Dean Martin crooned in the background, busy but not hectic- a perfect place to stop and recharge.
Very good coffee when you can't face another pot of tea!!
Viva Bella Italia!
This is a lovely branch of the restaurant chain, in very central location in York. While the service was faultless, some of the food could be improved; we loved the cheese pizza and fried gnocchi, but the mozzarella dough balls were soggy and the pesto pasta was lacking in flavour.
My partner is celiac, so finding safe places to eat can be difficult. Bella Italia York gave us no doubt on the quality and taste of the food, as well as safety when it comes to cross contamination. Everything was identified as GF, and my partner had no reaction after the meal. Our server, Isia, was amazing. Always looking after us, making sure we weren't missing anything, always available. She went above and beyond when I asked for a mock tail version of one of their cocktails and see what could be arranged.
This is by far the best Bella Italia we have been to. The food was what we expected and we enjoyed whatever ordered. What made it was the service and atmosphere. All the colleagues working there were friendly and helpful. I loved how our waitress interacted with my daughter (9yrs) and made her feel as important as everyone else.
Thank you for a lovely evening 😊
This was a lovely restaurant to dine in at, having a stylish setting from the lights and ceiling leaves! The frames on the wall add to this and menus are readily provided at the tables, where me and my friends were served by warm, friendly staff. I enjoyed Spaghetti and Meatballs in garlic sauce, accompanied by a sweet glass of Coca-Cola! The service was due time for a restaurant, leather seating is top notch and cleanliness had been maintained!
We pre booked for 18:30 but had finished with our day early so we were seated earlier which was great. The lady who greeted us was very understanding and super friendly. We were then looked after for the rest of the evening by a gentleman there, think his name is Jake as that's on my receipt. He was so helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble, it was busy and you could see how rushed off his feet he was but he was friendly and smiling and laughing with everybody who he served, he brought made it such a positive atmosphere and just wanted him to know we were very grateful. Please pass on our thanks to Jake and his team as they were all brilliant.
In addition to that, the food was to die for lovely meal and would deffinatly come again.
We were in York for the marathon last weekend and had a lovely meal experience here. The food was great, fairly priced and delicious - and staff really friendly. Jake served us and was super friendly and really helpful.
We came here specially because we got the cookie dough they have as a recommendation to eat. And that was true it was really nice. Although I don't know how you can eat it after a full meal.
My recent visit to Bella Italia in York was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that this restaurant holds itself to high standards.
The food here was simply delicious, and it was delivered to our table promptly. I must also commend the exceptional service provided by the lady with the glasses. Her warm and friendly demeanor added to our dining pleasure, making us feel truly welcome.
Went here whilst on holiday for my other half's birthday meal. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The food was phenomenal, served hot but the type of hot where you can still eat it. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and even gave us recommendations on what to go for when he realised we were struggling on deciding what to go for.

The food and drinking were fantastic, but the service was not that good. It seems they were short on people when I came, so the ladies were in a hurry and it was hard to get their attention to order.
I had the carbonara and the brownie. I forgot the name of the drink, but it was good!
