Bella Italia

I saw on the Glten Free Message Board that the Bella Italia chain www.bellaitalia.co.uk offer gluten free pasta and pizza. They are a chain restaurant and have a large number of branches including several in central London. I rang and checked first and booked. We went to the restaurant near Leicester Square as we'd been to the British Museum (very poor for gluten free snacks). We ordered a gf spaghetti bolognaise for Niall. Fortunately the pasta was quill shaped which is easier for an 8 year old to deal with in public. He ws really pleased to get pasta in a restaurant that was no fuss. The rest of the family enjoyed their meal and it was reasonably priced too. So overall, a success!

    I only recently found out that the Bella Italia restaurants offer Gluten free pizza and pasta. I've always wanted to to try their food out but was unsure if I should even bother. Other chain restaurants should take not and follow their lead.

    Thank you for this - we GF freaks might just be able to eat when in a big City, without loads of pre-negotiation and fuss. I understand that Starbucks are now offering gluten-free sandwiches made with Genius bread now, so we might be able to snack too.

    Thanks, this is helpful as i have coeliac relatives who visit and was struggling to find nice places to dine out! If you're ever around North London I found a great place to buy "free" foods (dairy free, gluten free, egg free and so on) at

    It's also a cafe.
