Excellent Italian experience in Wellington! This is by far the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in all of Wellington!nnTo start, the venue is super open and has a fantastic atmosphere; lots of tables, high shed ceiling, and the Mediterranean feel is real. It’s also a supermarket type thing, and you can buy lots of nice looking groceries.nnThe service was good, though when busy it may take a bit longer for someone to pop over. However, we got great service when getting the fish delivered to our table and prepared for us!nnFor drinks, we got espresso martini, European hot chocolate, and limoncello. All fantastic!nnThe Napoli Pizza was so delicious, crisp & gooey in all the right places. Very savoury and strong salty bite, which is exactly what my partner loves.nnThe whole fish was fantastic; tender, meaty, and the sauce was savoury, garlicky and rich I believe it was the Pesca Mediterenea. The clams and mussels were also delicious, with the potatoes and grilled bread. All went so well together.nnWe got the coffee cake to take away, which looks amazing, but we were so full we couldn’t eat any more!nnWe’ll definitely be back to try more of their food, particularly their cabinet desserts, more pizzas, and try their main dishes.nnI would highly recommend La Bella Italia if you want an all around quality Italian experience in Wellington!
Lovely, super high quality, authentic restaurant. Been coming for years and never disappointed. Whether cafe fare, restaurant, dessert, gifts or groceries. We had the whole fish on our first visit around 20 years ago and unfortunately haven't had it since, but we are looking forward to bringing my husbands grabdmother here to enjoy it once again. We should all be shopping and supporting businesses like this. Awesome staff and regularly see the owner getting amongst it x
La Bella Italia — My Favourite Place for Lunch and Dinner in Wellington nnThere are restaurants you enjoy, restaurants you recommend, and then there are those special places that keep drawing you back time and time again. For me, La Bella Italia in Wellington is one of those rare gems.nnEvery visit reminds me why it remains one of my absolute favourite places to eat. Whether it's a casual lunch, a family gathering, or a relaxed dinner with friends, La Bella Italia consistently delivers authentic Italian flavours, generous portions, and warm hospitality that makes every meal feel special.nnOn this visit, we enjoyed several of their signature dishes, and once again, everything was outstanding.nnThe prosciutto and mozzarella pizza was beautifully prepared with a thin, crispy crust, fresh rocket leaves, creamy mozzarella, and delicate slices of prosciutto. The ingredients were fresh, balanced, and full of flavour, showcasing the simplicity and elegance that great Italian cuisine is known for.nnThe lasagna was pure comfort food. Rich layers of pasta, slow-cooked meat sauce, and perfectly melted cheese created a dish that was hearty, satisfying, and deeply flavourful. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic.nnWhat I love most about La Bella Italia is its consistency. No matter how many times I visit, the food is always delicious, the service is always welcoming, and the atmosphere always feels relaxed and inviting. It is one of those restaurants where you know you will leave happy every single time.nnThe staff deserve special recognition for their friendliness and attentiveness. They create a genuine sense of hospitality that makes diners feel like valued guests rather than just customers.nnIn a city blessed with many excellent dining options, La Bella Italia continues to stand out as one of Wellington's most reliable and enjoyable restaurants. It combines authentic Italian cooking, generous portions, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere better than almost anywhere else.nnIf you're looking for authentic Italian food in Wellington, I cannot recommend La Bella Italia highly enough.nnAlways one of the best places to enjoy lunch or dinner in Wellington. Consistently excellent, wonderfully authentic, and always worth returning to.nnRating: 5/5 nn— Mink nnMy go-to Italian restaurant in Wellington, and one that never disappoints.
Quite a unique place as this is also a market, lots of imprinted goods. Servers are friendly and service is generally quick. The chicken named literally IL Pollo was delicious! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, they have great selection of pizzas too.
100/10!nnVisited with my grandparents while I was visiting the area and it's a place I come to every time I am in town!nnFood is exceptional with big portion sizes too and the staff are so lovely and attentive! The owners are friendly and approachable too and where lovely to chat toonnA must visit if your in the area and I would even recommend travelling to the area!
