Generously topped classic pizzas with an unusual creamy base, delicious caramelised onions, and goats cheese offer intense flavours at Bella Italia on George Street. Piping hot portions of pasta, like a praised simple carbonara or a rich and smoky lentil Ragù, and mouth-watering grills are all packed with authentic Italian tastes and made with love. It's a popular spot, especially for families, with a special children's menu and sometimes 'Kids Eat for £1' offers, making it a good choice for a meal out with loved ones. Situated right in the middle of Oxford, it’s a bustling, bistro-type restaurant, often heaving with pre-theatre diners due to its prime location next to the New Theatre.
The atmosphere inside Bella Italia is often described as warm, inviting, and buzzing with a youthful yet cosy energy. Twinkling, welcoming design touches, like candles made from used wine bottles, set the stage for a tasty experience. Beyond the family appeal, it’s a convenient stop for moviegoers or weary shoppers needing a break, and with seating for 100 inside and another 40 outside, it can cater to many. The menu also thoughtfully includes vegan and gluten-free choices. Whether you're after a leisurely lunch, a quick pre-show bite, or a full dinner, the attentive staff aim to make everyone feel welcomed.
