    What a wonderful experience. We were served by David all night who was friendly and attentive to all our needs. We had entree, Pizza, Pasta and dessert.. All was high quality and tasted exquisite. Sure the prices are high but we knew that before we booked. However, it was worth every cent.

    Not the best experience for the premium you pay. very below average experience, hygiene was a concern in outdoor seating area. Will I be going back there again…it’s a NO for now.

    We are from Tasmania, we come to Queensland often and have been to Bella Venezia a few times. The food is delicious, staff are friendly and the atmosphere is good. I have no doubt we will continue to dine at Bella Venezia when we are in the area.

    We had the Chefs 7 Step Tasting Menu the food was amazing, the stand out dish was the Hand Crafted Pumpkin, Ricotta & Macadamia Filled Tortellini, and very close second was Tasmanian Lamb Backstrap. The service was excellent.

    Started off great - service was prompt and extremely helpful. Meals came reasonably fast. Although nice, very small portions for high price. Kids meals were almost bigger than adults. Service went down hill, no offer of another drink, dessert took far longer to come out than the main. Overall a little disappointed with the experience.

    Bella Venezia is a wonderful experience. The ambience outside for lunch and inside for dinner delivers. The staff are friendly, attentive and polite. The food is delicious. We found it without fault.
