Okay wow! our little american flippy floppies were blown off by how great this place was. Initially…read morewe walked right by this Italian spot because we were looking to gobble up some of Forsters' famous Oysters and didn't really come up here for ethnic cuisine (no offence) After some heavy footwork we weren't impressed with anywhere else on the river. Bellas was pretty packed so we popped in and grabbed a table for three for some Friday night atmosphere. (1/3 being of Italian decent). We were famished and immediately ordered 1/2 dozen oysters, mussels and the octopus. DELICIOUS! no wonder these oysters are famous - they have a perfect bite of creamy texture and shucked perfectly - no sand. The order octopus was massive and again, great texture not chewy. For a main course we decided to split the margarita pizza and the spaghetti with spicy marinara. Although the pasta isn't freshly made, they do import the real stuff from Italy, which makes a difference. Pasta was el dente and the sauce was liquid satisfaction. The pizza was cooked with a light crust and cheesy topping. We were approached multiple times by the owner to check to see if everything was okay. The only reason i'm not giving 5 starts is the lack of vegetarian options and that they aren't fully license. So BYO!

Over the years ive been to Bellas at least 8 times, they always make great pizzas, but as a eat in…read morerestaurant its always a bit hit and miss, its like a lottery, sometimes its good and other times nit so good Anyway last night there were 3 of us, I had a supreme pizza , it was great, my wife had spagetti marinara, which had one prawn, one piece of calamari, 2 inedible pippies and lots of good pasta, and that was it. We had to ask for pepper and parmisan and had 2 pasta dishes. The weird thing was when we commented to the waitress about the lack of seafood in the marinara dish she told us that it was impossible to be like that and went in denial mode, the owner frank said hed find out what was going on . He slunked away and hid out the back until after we left. He didnt get back to us, the young staff all in all were good. Its great location but dont expect perfection!

Very good pizzas but you can't get them for lunch. Very good well priced lunch menu, but evening meals as indicated by previous review are ordinary at best and if busy service can be very slow. Plan on getting pizza in evening and skip the other main meals until you hear that the quality has improved. Rating is for the facilities, lunch menu and the pizzas.

The Mexican pizza was better than the chicken pizza and it's then crust was thin The pasta came out quick while the pizza took some time. They seemed busy with a few people getting taking away pizza Portion sizes were small though. A large pizza doesn't look large at all and because it's not flooded with topping (the pizza looks pretty flat) I could easily eaten it and another,the pizza trays on the wall look deceptively bigger than what was on my plate If your in a big group order family size pizza
