When you consider the appealing presentation and delightful flavors of the dishes, desserts and drinks offered in the chain’s restaurants, you will reconsider your stand since you are getting excellent value for your money.

History

Bella Italia’s roots are in two smaller restaurant chains, Pizzaland and Pastificio, which were then owned by Grand Metropolitan. In February 1991, Michael Guthrie purchased the two chains via his company, BrightReasons, and rebranded them to become Bella Pasta. In February 1993, he purchased Prima Pasta and Pizza Piazza restaurants, which brought BrightReasons’ total number of locations to 165.  In December 2002, Bella Pasta became Bella Italia with the first restaurant in Leeds – and the brand continues to grow with over 80 locations across the United Kingdom. The brand itself belongs to the Tragus Group, which also owns and operates the Strada and Café Rouge chains.

What They’re Famous For

Bella Italia restaurants are known for their lively atmosphere as well as for their authentic Italian pizza and pasta dishes, even for their children’s menu that comes with coloring kits for each order. The food and drinks are world-class in quality with the must-eats being the warm garlic bread, melt-in-your-mouth tender mouse gnocchi, freshly-made pasta dishes, and flavorful vegetable dishes, among others. You may ask for the lunch/dinner menus since these have combos that provide great value (i.e., delish food with delightful Bella Italia prices).

Why Eat Here

When you carefully consider the menu, you will observe that the stars of the show are the pizzas and pastas with the grill and specialty dishes taking second place. You can also choose from a respectable Italian wine list, many of which are from smaller producers, as well as the standard sodas and beers. Your orders are usually delivered to your table within 15-30 minutes depending on their complexity but you can get settled, sip your wine, and start on your appetizers while waiting for the main course. You may also enjoy the unlimited hot drinks that come with your breakfast order as well as the lunch and dinner deals.  You and your group will appreciate the clean facilities including the non-smoking interiors (i.e., al fresco smoking may be allowed in several locations), restrooms, baby changing areas, and disabled toilets, all of which were designed with the customers’ convenience in mind.
