    We've been to Bella Venezia a few times now and out doesn't disappoint. Old school Italian fine dining at its best. Top quality food, with superb service, coupled with a great ambience makes Bella Venezia a must for that special occasion. We'll be back.

    Had a delicious dinner and overall great experience here. Our best dinner on Sunshine Coast! Everything was delicious and we had such a hard time choosing what to order due to the choice. Steak was very tender and flavourful. Lamb was perfectly cooked. Our waiter Radek served us and was excellent , friendly, helpful. I can understand why this place has won so many awards. Would love to come again if we are back in Mooloolaba

    We visited for a special occasion. From the moment we arrived we felt happy to be at this venue. We sat at the bar for a pre dinner drink and then, when seated, were presented with a fantastic menu. Everything sounded amazing. Service was fabulous!! We ordered the 7 course tasting menu with matching premium wines and were not disappointed. The only thing we added was a side of vegetables to go with the lamb. The wine pairing did not disappoint. Loved everything we ate and drank - the flavours were delicious. My favs - the tuna carpaccio, the lamb, and dessert. No breakfast for me today- still full (in a nice way). Grazie Bella Venezia per una serata davvero speciale.

    We had the tasting menu as part of an event and returned because of that experience. However, the food we ordered from the menu was underwhelming. I ordered the confit pork belly which was tough and bland. The pizza our group shared was also bland.

    Thank you for returning to dine with us and for sharing your experience. We're glad the tasting menu initially drew you back, though we're truly sorry that this visit fell short of expectations. We take pride in the quality and flavour of our dishes, and it’s disappointing to hear the confit pork belly and pizza did not meet our usual high standards. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be sure to review it with our culinary team. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide a more exceptional dining experience.
