Authentic Taste of Naples in the Heart of the City!
Bella Napoli isn't just a restaurant; it's a transportive experience. From the moment you step inside and smell the fragrant aroma of baking dough and San Marzano tomatoes, you know you're in for something special.
We visited on a busy Friday night, and the energy was fantastic—buzzing with happy conversations and the open kitchen where you can see the chefs masterfully crafting each pizza. The service was warm and efficient, making us feel welcomed immediately.
Now, for the main event: the pizza. We ordered the Margherita Extra and the Diavola.
The crust was absolute perfection. Charred and blistered in the exact right spots from the wood-fired oven, with a chewy, airy cornicione (the outer edge) that had an incredible flavor. This is not just bread; it's the soul of the pizza. The tomato sauce on the Margherita was bright, tangy, and sweet—clearly made from high-quality ingredients. The fior di latte mozzarella was fresh and melted beautifully. The Diavola had a fantastic spicy kick from the salami, which was perfectly balanced by the creamy mozzarella and the rich tomato base.
This is, without a doubt, some of the most authentic Neapolitan pizza I've had outside of Italy. You can taste the passion and tradition in every single bite.
We finished with a classic Tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and coffee-rich—the perfect end to a perfect meal.
While the pizza is the undeniable star, the entire experience is top-notch. The wine list features excellent Italian selections that pair wonderfully with the food.
Final verdict: Bella Napoli is a gem. It’s the real deal. Whether you're a pizza purist or just someone looking for a delicious, high-quality meal, you must come here. The care and authenticity they put into their food are evident from the first bite to the last. We will absolutely be regulars from now on!

Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment and let me say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The rustic charm, paired with soft lighting and the hum of Italian melodies, created the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening.
The meal began with an exquisite bruschetta. The freshness of the tomatoes, combined with the crispness of the bread and a delicate hint of garlic, was nothing short of divine. Each bite felt like a little taste of Italy, leaving me excited for the courses ahead.
Then came the main event: the Pizza Exotica. This was not just any pizza; it was a revelation. The wood-fired crust had the perfect balance of crispness and chew, while the combination of ham, pineapple, and mozzarella was simply sensational. The sweet and savory interplay of the ingredients was masterfully executed, making it one of the best pizzas I have ever had. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me longing for more.
For dessert, I indulged in what can only be described as the best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted. Rich, moist, and incredibly decadent, it was the perfect end to a flawless meal. The balance of sweetness was just right, and each bite melted in my mouth, leaving a lasting impression.
Bella Napoli is, without a doubt, a gem in the culinary world. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience. I left completely enchanted and can’t...
Read moreLet's start with the positive, the decor and service was great, polite waiters and comfortable seating & tables, the menu is quite big too so lots to choose from.
Now the negative. The food is by no means authentic Italian, the ingredients are cheap and while it looks good, every dish fell short of expectations. For this price point, I expected better quality.
Now specifically for each dish: The pasta came in a clay pot with a thin bread cover and was undercooked (very al dente). I can only assume they precook it and store it in the freezer to warm it up in the oven. The pizza was quite bland, olives where tasteless (cheap tin olives) and it gave me a sore stomach twice! (Had the left overs the next morning) The vegan pizza had raw vegetables on too which were only mildly cooked in the pizza oven. The passata (tomato base) was not tasty, it’s really not hard to make a good passata. The putanesca was not that great The tiramisu was small and not soaked enough, cream was good. It also had a chocolate through it which is not traditional and took away from the taste of the vanilla
Overall, unless you want a relaxing and private atmosphere, I don’t recommend coming to this restaurant but go to the Italian restaurants across the road at the...
