Went here for a relative’s 40th birthday. Lovely space on the first floor for big parties. The pizzas and pasta are delicious here and very well priced! Authentic Italian food. Service is superb, we had someone who wasn’t happy with their order, didn’t realise it would be so plain and the staff immediately bought out a difference pizza on the house - never seen service like it! Very good restaurant and plenty of tasty sounding dishes on the menu! Highly recommend, nice little Italian in the middle of Shrewsbury! I had the garlic chilli spaghetti which was delicious with a nice strong kick!

Cheesy garlic bread was on super fresh dough, definitely home made, bruschetta was really fresh and we suspected the bread was home made too. Lasange so fresh and light, beautiful layers of pasta, the tomato sauce was perfect. Clean plate club. The Penne Gorgonzola E Noci was Creamy, nutty aftertaste, very light and still fillings with a deep flavour with the tang of gorgon zola, pasta cooked perfect Al dents For Wine, we chose a bottle of the Chianti. Which was soft, fruity and beautifully complimented the savoury meals especially the lasagne. For dessert I had a single scoop of the Gelato, Salted caramel, which was decedant and rich with enough salt to balance it perfectly. My husband's Cheesake was light but rich with crisp base that had delicious nutty aftertaste and the lemon wasn't overpowering at all. Staff were kind and attentive, we were never left between courses or waiting for attention. They even realised it was his birthday, due to a loud video call where his mother bleted happy birthday at the top of her lungs, and put a sparkler in his dessert! A must visit for authentic Italian food in Shrewsbury!

Absolutely incredible meal and experience, staff are lovely, support this family run business, instead of the Italian down the road!

An Italian restaurant serving delicious yet affordable food. The restaurant was recommended by a volunteer from the St Mary's Church and I am so glad I decided to eat here. I ordered the calamari, Penne Gorgonzola E Noci, and tiramisu. The food arrived within 15 minutes, which was appreciated. The pasta was absolutely delicious - flavourful, rich, and creamy. The calamari was crispy yet tender and paired well with the pasta. The tiramisu had pretty sweet cream with not a lot of coffee, but it was still very delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive towards the needs of their patrons. The restaurant had pretty nice vibes too.

My train from Shrewsbury was delayed, so had some time to kill. Bella Napoli was just a few mins up the hill. Service was friendly & efficient. The pizza i had was really nice. Great little place.
