    Service wasn’t as good as previously . 3 meals came then had to wait for the other 3 for what seemed quite awhile. Our drink order was forgotten.

    My wife and I had the 3 x course lunch special, with the Bruchetta bread prior. I had the John Duval red and my wife the French champagne x3 ( possibly 1 x too many but they were seriously good ) You may pay twice what you would pay at other places on the esplanade, but it is that much better and worth every extra cent. The quality of the experience is remembered long after, the price is forgotten. Our server was from the Czech Republic and he did a great job, we will be back again soon

    Was very disappointed with the scarce amount of seafood served with the Spaghetti, Moreton Bay Bug Tail, Chilli, Cherry Tomatoes, Lobster/Mooloolaba Prawn & Cognac Bisque. Not good value for money $58. The freshly made spaghetti was delicious but not enough seafood. Would not recommend this meal. Also the wine list was grossly overpriced.

    My partner and I visited Bella Venezia while on holiday for our anniversary and enjoyed our time there. Our waiter, Brendan was very knowledgeable about all the dishes, the different flavours in them and what location they’re from. We really appreciated his service as this is what made the experience even better. My partner and I got the 7 course meal and walked out with a nice full belly. If you have a special occasion or are looking to just indulge, this is the place. Thank you Bella Venezia!

    Fabulous ambience, delicious food, beautiful cocktails and superb service. Delighted that they catered so well for gluten free people - separate ovens and fryers, my gluten free pizza was fantastic.
