    We had the Chefs 7 Step Tasting Menu the food was amazing, the stand out dish was the Hand Crafted Pumpkin, Ricotta & Macadamia Filled Tortellini, and very close second was Tasmanian Lamb Backstrap. The service was excellent.

    Started off great - service was prompt and extremely helpful. Meals came reasonably fast. Although nice, very small portions for high price. Kids meals were almost bigger than adults. Service went down hill, no offer of another drink, dessert took far longer to come out than the main. Overall a little disappointed with the experience.

    Bella Venezia is a wonderful experience. The ambience outside for lunch and inside for dinner delivers. The staff are friendly, attentive and polite. The food is delicious. We found it without fault.

Who made us both laugh in abundance . He’s a terrific waiter . We had such a great time. That we returned the following night for dinner. We were waited on by Jason. He too was just brilliant . An absolute gentleman . We will be returning there on our next holiday . Thank you all for making our holiday complete .

    Our evening was elevated by the excellent food and quality service we know we will receive here and they did not disappoint. Our server Tonino was helpful and attentive and the Duck Ravioli was to die for. Really appreciated the kind well wishes on the table setting and on the deserts for our anniversary. Very thoughtful. It was another amazing experience from the team at Bella. Can’t wait to come back.

    We had a wonderful evening at Bella Venezia. Brendan was an excellent host and made sure we were never waiting or wanting for anything. The Chefs tasting menu was excellent but could have done with a bit more of their superb house made bread. The wine list is top notch and would have satisfied wine buffs of the highest calibre (and budget). Overall a really great evening and right up there with the best. Highly recommend.

    Crispy barramundi was just awesome Food was great Service was not the best - staff too busy. We finished and were told the waiter will bring us the stm device for payment - we watched that waiter for 15 minutes - he forgot about us so we had to pay at counter Could have saved us the wait time
