We recently visited Bella Italia Gunwharf, and it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome and given the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was a beautiful sunny day, we chose to sit outside, enjoying the fresh air and the lovely waterfront views. The outdoor seating had a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere—perfect for soaking up the sunshine while watching the world go by. Now, onto the food—everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. I had the Cheeseburger, and it was one of the juiciest, most flavorful burgers I’ve had in a while! The beef patty was thick and cooked perfectly, staying tender and succulent. The melted cheese on top added a creamy richness, and the soft, lightly toasted bun brought it all together. Served with crispy golden fries, it was a hearty and satisfying meal. The Carbonara was another highlight. The pasta was perfectly cooked, coated in a creamy, silky sauce with just the right balance of richness. The pancetta added a delicious smoky flavor, and the Parmesan on top gave it a lovely finishing touch. What made it even better was that our server kindly offered to grate extra cheese on top, which made the dish even more indulgent and delicious! The Chicken Milanese was equally impressive. The crispy, golden breaded chicken was tender and juicy on the inside, but what truly made the dish outstanding was the buttery garlic sauce—rich, fragrant, and bursting with flavor. It paired beautifully with the crispy coating of the chicken and made every bite absolutely irresistible. The side salad added a fresh contrast, making the dish feel perfectly balanced. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed. They were happy to accommodate any requests, and their attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. With delicious food, excellent service, and the perfect outdoor setting, our meal at Bella Italia Gunwharf was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty Italian food in a great location!

I've been here before, and called in for early lunch. Service was excellent, with a helpful recommendation, and my pizza and tiramisu were very good. There is outdoor seating overlooking the water and the Spinnaker Tower. I fractured my ankle recently so I now have more disability awareness - seating is ground level as well as upstairs and there is a disabled toilet on the ground floor.

I came here with family this evening and we had a lovely meal. Attila looked after us so well - he talked through the menu and offered lovely recommendations. Attila was so attentive even though he was clearly busy. One order wasn't quite as stated on the menu; Attila sorted it immediately with no fuss. Lovely food, wonderful service! Thanks for looking after us so well, Attila! You're fabulous.
