    A Perfect Dining Experience – 10/10 Everything about our evening was exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, the ambience was warm, stylish, and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable dinner. The food was nothing short of incredible; beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was a delight, showcasing both quality ingredients and expert preparation. The service was equally impressive. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring we felt well looked after without ever being intrusive. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the presentation of the dishes to the seamless flow of the evening. It’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect, but this restaurant delivered on all fronts. A well-deserved 10/10, we will absolutely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience.

    My husband and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and had a really excellent meal at the Bella Ischia. The food was really excellent. We were a little cold in the restaurant but it didn't spoil our evening at all. Everyone there were really helpful and the meal was extremely delicious.
