Cuisine: Family, Italian
Price Point: Mains from $20 - $35+
With 20 years of cooking scrummy Italian favourites behind them, Bella Italia is a family-friendly spot welcoming you in with open arms.
It's a cheery spot with plenty of atmosphere and plenty of group tables should you want to get the gang together. Grab a drink at their informal bar and settle down next to their signature orange walls for some much-needed home comforts.
Begin with some of NZ's finest seafood, like their shrimp cocktail or a bowl of steamed mussels from beautiful Coromandel. Their selection of mains is extensive! In the pasta team is fettuccine al fungi, spaghetti with prawn cutlets, penne al salmone and a risotto of the day. Every classic pizza you can think of is there, as well as a seafood pizza that's topped with a fisherman selection of the freshest fruits of the sea.
And that's not all! There are fabulous cuts of meat, like the eye fillet, chicken breast smothered in a sweet marsala crema sauce and schnitzel with meaty gravy or a red wine sauce. If you're avoiding a food coma, there are plenty of sumptuous salads bursting with flavour and fresh ingredients.

Tani Gillett - dined at Bella Italia on 10 August 2019
We were greeted warmly and sincerely, made comfortable at a lovely window seat and promptly given water and menus. The food was hot, delicious and filled us up. We had the steak (best for a long time) and salmon pasta followed by desert pizza (highly recommend) and chocolate cake. It was a very enjoyable experience!

Had a really nice meal at Bella Italia, small hiccup with the entree but was sorted immediately and the great service more than made up for it. Will definitely be back and with the kids next time. Thank you

Good, tasty food and prompt friendly service. The place could do with better décor to provide a more Italian atmosphere.
