Bella Bia 5.0 star review: went for a meal for my birthday and i have to say that i loved everything about the night. a brilliant atmosphere, great hosting, the food was amazing and the staff did everything in their power to make sure we were comfortable. fully recommend to anyone to try :) only downside was that the waiting was quite awhile as the restaurant was packed but everything else was brilliant. definitely my favorite restaurant in Tralee

Bella Bia 4.0 star review: Very good value early bird and lovely food. However, service is poor and slow and tables are very crammed. But still a lovely evening. Will be back.

Bella Bia 4.0 star review: Went as part of a group of five.Two of us had the early bird menu which is extremely good value and offers a nice variety of choices.Two had pizzas and one had the sirloin steak.Both enjoyed the pizzas,which are the perfect size, and the steak was tasty,but had just a little bit too much fat.Only complaint from anyone was that the cannelloni was a bit bland but otherwise the rest of the feedback was positive.I very much enjoyed my penne toscana and bruschetta.Even though it was very busy,the service was fast,friendly and efficient.We will be back.

Bella Bia 1.0 star review: This restaurant was recommended by a friend who was a fan but I won't be recommending it to anyone.

Restaurant was crammed and noisy, our table was in a poky alcove with barely room for the two of us. Service was absolutely atrocious, they knew we were under pressure for time but still it took 75 minutes to bring two main courses (my companion had had a mushroom started which had been cleared at least 30 mins earlier). Barely had time to taste the main course but my duck breast was bland, and dry to one end.

Had to ask for the bill three times. Safe to say we didn't leave a tip, and won't be returning!

Bella Bia 5.0 star review: Availed of the early bird menu whilst staying at a nearby hotel. I had the bruschetta to start which was very fresh and very tasty. I then had the lasagne of which the portion was big and very tasty. Staff friendly, good atmosphere, would comeback if visiting the area again :)

Bella Bia 2.0 star review: I was very disappointed with this restaurant after reading such great reviews. We had booked a table but when we arrived we were told there was no table available so we were placed in the cold smoking area at a tiny table which they expected us to eat at. This would not have been possible due to the size of the table which was nearly right in a doorway. We were eventually given a table after about 30mins. The food was cold and portions were very small. I did not consider it very good value for money. I also found the staff very rude. I do not even plan on visiting this restaurant again nor would I recommend it. Overall experience was very disappointing.

Bella Bia 4.0 star review: Recommend the 'Stuffed Mushrooms' and the 'Fillet Steak'.
Nice setting with a courtyard in the centre for two smoking tables.
Freindly service. Good food and good value.

Bella Bia 4.0 star review: This was my first time at the restaurant and I was very impressed. The staff were very welcoming and accomadating to my 14 month old daughter. We went for the early bird (which is great value) and the food was fabulous. We were waiting a little time for our main courses but when they came they were worth it as my husband had the Lasagne and it was made from scratch which accounts for the delay. This restaurant is ideal for any occassion.

Bella Bia 3.0 star review: I struggle to comprehend why people (not just on this website) rate this palce so highly. The restaurant itslef is well laid out and has a good atmosphere. That is about where it ends. There were three people at my table - we all tried something different and none of the dishes managed to get far above average. The bruschetta my companions had was tastless - very little basil, garlic and tomatoes had very little taste. The mozarrella cubes came with a very poor red pesto sauce - more like a paste. This is not difficult food. I had chicken wrapped in parma ham in marsala sauce and it was appalling. It was dripping in what i could best describe as 'tex mex bbq rib sauce' and all flavours were devoured by it. the pasta dishes ordered by my companions were average but nothing more. we avoided dessert.

The main waitress was also quite short and rude. We walked in a few nights previous and tried to get a table but were abruptly and rudely told no. nothing offered about taking our number and coming back later or saying sorry maybe another time. Massively over rated.

Bella Bia 5.0 star review: I adore Bella Bia, the service is impeccible and the food is incredible the Fettuccine Alla Carbonara is heavenly and the garlic bread that accompanies it is very tasty. Prices are very reasonable and i would definitely eat here again
