Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Freshly cooked pasta and pizzas are the top draws at Sicilia Bella. The ingredients shine through in every dish, capturing the essence of authentic Italian fare. Customers frequently mention the Burrata salad with peaches and walnuts, highlighting it as a must-try.
The cozy atmosphere paired with excellent service creates a relaxing dining experience. Many enjoy a casual night out here, often accompanied by a good wine from their well-curated list. Additionally, the desserts, particularly the Cannolo Siciliano and gelato options, win hearts every time.
Most Disliked
Several reviews indicate that the restaurant can get crowded, especially during peak dining hours, which may lead to longer wait times. Some patrons express frustration over noise levels when large groups arrive, impacting the intimate dining experience. There have also been isolated incidents with unruly customers making the atmosphere less inviting, though these occurrences appear to be random and not reflective of the usual vibe at Sicily Bella. Overall, these minor inconveniences do not overshadow the restaurant's charm and high-quality food.

Great food and service. The restaurant is in a residential area on parade of shops. It’s a bit strange but don’t let that put you off. Once inside you receive a warm welcome and amazingly tasty food. Highly recommend and will be back 😋😋😋

In a very unassuming location is the best Italian restaurant we've ever been to. We've been all along the Amalfi coast, to Rome and nothing compares to this amazing restaurant within walking distance to our house. Everything is freshly cooked, including the pasta and the flavours are amazeballs. Staff are all excellent and the chef is a gem. Can't recommend enough and we will definitely be back 😍😍😍

Small local restaurant with excellent food and wine at reasonable prices. Three courses and two bottles of wine at £92. Very good baked mushroom starter, and king prawn tagliatelle. Lovely ice cream. Friendly and wonderfully unhurried service. A restaurant well worth going back to. Recommended.

Great food ( especially the Burrata salad with peaches and walnuts), good wine and fantastic service , unfortunately there was a large group of youngsters who decided to cause a scene and from what we could understand refused to pay their bill and left using threatening language and behaviour ! This will not deter us from revisiting as the this is a local family friendly restaurant!

Wow I am taken back having read the recent review against Sicilia Bella. I was there today with my wife but also been going to this restaurant since they have opened with my family and friends. This restaurant is run by a hardworking Italian family who have a passion on serving great traditional Italian cuisine. They also value their customers whether you eat in or decide to have a take away Thanks
