Described on a review as a hidden gem and absolutely true, it wasn't on the same main track as lots of other bars and restaurants. Having stayed in the Marsh Wall area many times I have always looked for different places to eat. I haven't come across Bella Costa until January and what a great. Don't waste a Saturday night in this place it' has no atmosphere and we asked house red wine with our meal and were charged 40 per bottle.

Food was okay. The beef bolognese was not worth the hype as it had a unpleasant stench and the beef lasagne didn’t taste like it was made by a professional chef as I have had better. Maybe you might want to go here if you looking for halal authentic Italian as there isn’t many you can find in London. Ambience was just okay too.The river view is overrated too as it’s pitch dark where you don’t get to see anything.I have had better food in London with better ambience with cheaper rates.Also the 12.5% service charge to the already overpriced menu is disappointing for the food we had.

Visited a few months back, not the first time and won't be the last - fantastic place for an occasion with the river side view. Food was excellent as before.
A call out to Narcisa and her team for the attentive service - an exceptional call out to them as they dealt with my son's allergy specific needs fantastically.
They revised the child's food and ensured he was comfortable with the food he was served and he was provided with a feast which he really enjoyed!
Amazing home made desserts and large variety of Italian wines!!

Mixed feelings about this place. Went on a Sunday and it wasn't very full still the service was a bit slow, specially between starters and mains.
Talking about starters, what a rip off. 2 arancini balls for £10? Are we serious? Anyways, if at least they were amazing...
The mains were correct, size a bit better in comparison with the starters. The seafood pasta was just fine, the swordfish linguini was very average (I didn't taste any swordfish to be honest)
I would however give the tiramissu 10/10!
In total a couple of starters, two mains, no drinks and one shared desserts for £65...

The location of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful and honestly I’d recommend visiting to take in the gorgeous sights of London at sunset/nighttime. It’s perfect for date night or a casual meal with your friends!
We ordered:
Tagliatelle bologna £13.50: This is a classic pasta dish made with Italian slow cooked beef ragu. This dish was very rich in taste and the sauce tasted marvellous. The pasta itself tasted very fresh and when topped with fresh Parmesan, the flavour of the dish elevated completely.
Beef Lasagne £13.50: This is the best lasagne we had ever tasted. This was ever so

Good and Authentic
Great atmosphere, lovely view of the riverside.
Food was good. Lasagne and Calamari were decent standard. The four cheese pizza was stronger than I am used to but still tasted good none the less.
A little pricey even as I got the lunch offer (meal + drink for 10.50).
I wouldn't mind going again, the setting is very romantic and ideal for a date but also works for large groups. Would recommend.

I’ve been absolutely blown away by the amazing service I received by Sunil and his team at Bella Cosa for my husbands 30th birthday yesterday. I can hands down say that this was one of the best bespoke services I have received at a restaurant to date. From the organisation to the coordination on the day, Sunil went above and beyond to ensure that the day ran smoothly. He was on hand to answer all of my questions, sent videos and pictures of the venue when I was unable to visit and gave us the flexibility to really make the event our own with the decor, balloons, music etc. The venue is beautiful

Had a lovely time at Bella Cosa with my friends. The food was lovely and was presented beautifully- very instagramable. And the service was amazing- Our waitress Narcisa was so attentive and kind to us, she is an asset to the restaurant. It's great to have the reassurance that if anything doesn't go as you expected the waitress and management are more than willing to go above and beyond to fix and compensate any issues you may have! overall I would highly recommend!

Starters were pleasant, not out of this world but nice.
Much to my surprise the mains were a bit of a shocker.
Beef lasagne was crispy and stale around all the edges, basically felt a week old.
The lamb chops were tough as nails, whilst I asked for Medium to well cooked they were done Well.
The pizza was the worst part - I've never felt this was for pizza cos I love the stuff! The chicken on the pizza tasted burnt bit didn't look it. I can appreciate something 'smoked' but this was smoked over a few years it seems.
I don't like writing reviews that aren't nice but honesty goes a long way and

What a delightful place & the food is delicious; we had the Italian burger; Scallops, Seabass; pizza, pasta; squid and prawns and we can say without a shadow of a doubt that the food is amazing. Scallops perfectly cooked; tender and lovely. Throughly recommend this restaurant. Oh and the Tiramisu is to die for 💗
