What Raphael Steinhart likes about Bella Italia Cranbourn Street:
Pretty italian restaurant in the city centre of London (at Leicester Square). The pasta was very tasty however it could have been spiced a little bit more. The waiter (Pawel was responsible for our table) was nice and attentive. We recommend choosing this restaurant during a stroll through the city and would come here again. View all feedback. What Ian R doesn't like about Bella Italia Cranbourn Street:
The food was good. The service was adequate but the places was the pits. Scruffy, peeling decor. Cramped, tatty furniture. Grim loos. We have eaten in Bella Italia from Inverness to Cheltenham and a dozen others in between but on the edge of Leicester Square this should be a flagship restaurant; it is appalling. To be fair, upstairs was a tad better but the staff don’t want to go upstairs so they cram as many as poss... View all feedback.

We ordered the Bolognaise pasta and it was incredibly tasty. The portion size was large and filling.

The pasta was not bad but the lasagna part is ridiculous, I don't recommend it. Quite expensive for what you eat.

Bella Italia in Leicester Square presents a mixed bag of experiences, reflecting a restaurant struggling to establish a consistent identity. While some diners laud the flavorful pasta and outstanding pizza, others criticize the lackluster service, with reports of inattentive staff and questionable practices regarding service charges. The atmosphere is hit-or-miss, marred by cleanliness issues, yet certain waitstaff, particularly Roni and Pawel, have been praised for their exceptional customer care, making some visits memorable. Ultimately, expectations for quality Italian cuisine may not be met, inviting caution for potential diners looking for a reliable dining experience.
