![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We were walking and wandering in Soho on a Sunday night undecided where to eat when we passed by Bella Italia and instantly were drawn within its doors. Lucky for us we didn't need any reservation and took seat next to the window. The atmosphere on the table was quite romantic with a candle lit and the ambience very rustic Italian(y).
I ordered a glass of Merlot which I enjoyed very much. As starters we ordered calamari - they were very good and we gulped it within minutes. We waited for our main dish- I, the salmon main platter whereas my sister customized her own pizza. The music is typical of your italian restaurant. The waiter was quite polite and engaging. Our food came within 25min of our order and I must say my salmon was succulent. I really licked the whole plate :) My sister really enjoyed her pizza and devoured it as well. We ordered some dessert- Tiramisu for her (she loved it) and vanilla cheesecake for me (a mistake ordering an american dessert in an italian place!).
Overall I loved my dinner and the ambience and the buzz i got from the wine. It was an enjoyable evening and we hope to repeat it when we are back to town.
Very much recommended

It was 9:45 in the night on Saturday and we were still in SOHO in London. Looked at this place. We were lucky that we got a table without a reservation.
Ordered a merlot. Queen margarita Roma and Pollo picante. The ambience is nice n cozy. Some parts of the restaurant is a bit congested. The pizza had a great n fine crust and loved the fact that it was not rubbery as I have eaten in some places. The cheese on the pizza was so fresh that it melted in the mouth.
The best part was the desserts. We ordered the shot glass dessert and a mean joe god father. The shot glass ones came in 5 different small sized desserts. Overall, an amazing experience.
I went to this place years back and had their Cannelloni Ricotta which I had been craving since then. So since I am back in the UK I was so excited to have them again. Unfortunately they have altered the recipe a bit by adding less sauce but they were delicious nevertheless. I also tried their pizza for the first time and honestly did not expect much but it was so good! I had their pizza with 4 different types of vegetables and if you can make artichokes taste good to me, then you've won. The dough was also the perfect amount of chewiness as, in my opinion, what makes a pizza is a dough.
Overall, I wasn't too keen on going to Bella Italia because most chain Italian restaurants lack on quality but it truly was a delicious experience! I do hope to go back to try their dessert selection because it looked so inviting.
