    Fabulous ambience, delicious food, beautiful cocktails and superb service. Delighted that they catered so well for gluten free people - separate ovens and fryers, my gluten free pizza was fantastic.

    We ordered the gnocchi and eye fillet for mains followed by the chocolate tart and crème brûlée, all were outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable and professional service. Definitely recommend Bella Venezia!

    Our location was beautiful, with the fairy lights and ambience in the outdoor dining setting. Though, we learned later, that despite this being a fine dining option, this zone was a pet friendly area. When a couple brought their Whippet dog through the tables, we were shocked, but accepted it as a quiet dog. But when they brought the dog up onto their laps for numerous cuddles, our own dining experience was impacted. The service was very friendly, perhaps too cheesy?? Our experience though here also included late service, neglected service and incorrect service. The meal was very tasty, but if you expect more on your plate for the price, you'll be mistaken. Our waiter suggested we order the greens with our meals, which we were grateful for. But for $17 for a bowl of greens that was forgotten, we actually were glad it made it to the table with our protein only plate. Dessert was yum! You don't go to a fine dining restaurant expecting things to be cheap, but the advertised 10% Sunday surcharge on top of our $300+ bill for two people with only 5 overpriced drinks shared left our lovely celebratory night with a sour taste. :(

    We had another amazing experience at Bella Venezia, especially so as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We had the 7 course degustation dinner which was wonderful. We particular would like to mention the wonderful attention and service provided by Tonino, which made our experience even me to remember.
