Our story

A little corner of Italy, poured into every detail

Bella Italia began as a family supper club inspired by the markets of Emilia-Romagna and the coastal tables of Liguria. Today, the restaurant pairs old-world technique with a calm, modern dining room made for long conversations.

"The handmade pasta was exceptional, but the feeling of the room is what made us stay for dessert."

Marina L.

"Quietly luxurious and genuinely warm."

James R.

"The truffle tagliatelle is worth planning a week around."

Sofia M.

"A beautiful room, precise service, and food with a soul."

About

Led by Chef Matteo Bellini

Chef Matteo trained in Bologna before opening Bella Italia with the belief that fine dining can still feel personal. The kitchen mills flour in house, rolls pasta each afternoon, and chooses produce from nearby farms.
