We arrived at 5:30 and the view was stunning over the water. Food was incredible. Service a bit rushed even though we had plenty of time with a 2 hour allocation. We haven’t been to this restaurant for some time but will definitely go back soon.

We had another amazing experience at Bella Venezia, especially so as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We had the 7 course degustation dinner which was wonderful. We particular would like to mention the wonderful attention and service provided by Tonino, which made our experience even me to remember.
