Bella Italia Irving Street

We enjoy our meal at the end of our trip to the theater on arrival unfortunately had no record of our booking, but we were ok.

A good choice of restaurant for those who go to or around Leicester Square. Food with a good standard and good price-performance price food compared to similar chains of restaurants in the region for main courses, although very disappointed with the small portions with the starters four chicken wings for almost £7, comfortable sitting with good service given by attentive staff.

A birthday dinner in front of the theatre for a family of 5. We got an email confirmation, but when we arrived, we were told that they had no booking. After a conversation they succeeded, 5 in a table of 4. The food was fine, as it lies right next to Leicester Square. I would go back, but would check the booking.

The ambience was excellent and we were very surprised at the fact it felt more like a snug local Italian than a chain restaurant in the heart of the West End. Staff were friendly and welcoming and food very decent, certainly significantly better than the Strand branch. After we had paid the manager approached and politely asked for a favour could we move to an adjacent table while we finished our drinks, so that they could put some tables together for a larger group due to arrive? We were happy to oblige and to my pleasant surprise, two complimentary limoncello shots duly arrived. Not expected but appreciated. Would definitely eat here again if we are in the area
