"It's worth noting that all Bella Italia's can offer gluten-free pasta and pizza."

"We went on the reccomendation of a vegan friend and had the spaghetti pomodoro. It was delicious, full of sun-dried tomatoes and very tasty. Staff were extremely helpful and even appologised that they couldn't offer a vegan dessert. Have been back several times, always for the same meal. "
