"We came to Bella Italia for dinner that did not disappoint. Both of our starters and main dishes were delicious and flavourful. The atmosphere on a Monday evening was warm, not too crowded. Our server Magda was excellent and we got our food and drinks on time. I recommend this place."

"Food is good- my favourite is the pasta! Service is usually average, but this time Garry was very helpful /professional & very good at his service: 5-stars to GARRY. Toilets are outdated, high risk of infections due to old clumsy taps & doors have handles inside, so risk of cross-contamination."

"Lovely Italian dining in the heart of Inverness Bella Italia in Inverness is a fantastic spot for a relaxed, quality meal. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and overall it made for a really enjoyable dining experience. A special mention to our server, Gabriel, whose passion for his job truly stood out — he went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and his friendly, attentive service made a real difference. We had the mushrooms and meatballs to start — both were full of flavour and beautifully seasoned. The mains were just as impressive — cooked to perfection and absolutely faultless. Having visited several Bella Italia locations across England and Scotland, I’ve consistently found their food and service to be of a high standard, and this Inverness branch certainly lived up to that. Highly recommend if you're in the area!"
