I have already given my reviews on all other platforms as a “big thanks “ that how good they are be it food quality or service. This time I would really like to congratulate the cooks and the staff for doing the great job. The chief “Kevin”who helped me half of the time with my food order with little change with my order. He is happy to be flexible according to what you like and your food is always served with a big smile by the servers which make it more delicious. Great job every time 🙏👍🏻
First time here. The service was fantastic. The environment is very nice. The pasta is especially great. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

Originally I was going to have Italian food for dinner with my friend at another Italian restaurant but it was full and it didn't take reservation, so my friend had picked this restaurant and I said sure to give it a try. I called to reserve a table for two. Indeed there was no need to reserve at this restaurant because it was not busy at all. When my friend and I arrived at this restaurant, there were only a few customers. The restaurant was big but quite empty. It was kind of sad when a restaurant was not busy at all on Sunday night.
My friend and I ordered the linguine vongole (clams) and linguine carbonara. Waiting for the food was quite long. The server was quite friendly giving us some water. We didn't want any other drinks. That was totally fine. After a long wait, finally the food had arrived along with a small basket of garlic bread. I thought that I would feel happier if the server gave us the garlic bread earlier when we were waiting for the food.
The presentation of the dish or the food was quite nice. The texture of the linguine was about right. There were many clams. Only the sauce was quite salty. The linguine carbonara was ok. I had better linguine carbonara at Brown Social House.
The price was average. It was not too expensive. The service was great. The ambiance was ok. But probably I would not want to go back for Italian food as there are many good ones out there.

I don't give out a 5 very often because very few places meet my criteria for a 5. You have to be exceptional on cleanliness, presentation, taste, and service. This place meets those criteria easily. Price plays a factor in my reviews, too.
Came here on Nov 19, 2015 and enjoyed it so much I came back again on Nov 20. On the 19th I started with calamari and had the linguine pescatore for my main. The calamari was crispy and the spicy dipping sauce is a nice break from garlicky stuff you usually get. The main was wonderful; full of seafood that was fresh and cooked perfectly. Was lightly sauced which is fine by me (doesn't mask the flavour of the seafood).
On Nov 20, I started with the seafood chowder (since seafood was a winner the day before) and had the lamb shank for my main. The chowder was another winner, had huge chunks of fish and plenty of seafood that you could see. It wasn't full of scraps that you sometimes get at restaurants. The lamb was amazing, fell right off the bone and was presented beautifully.
Both meals were around $30 each including tax and tip. Rarely can you find food as delicious as this for that price. Service was spot on. It isn't fast food, people. Good food takes time to make and for it to come out hot like it should. Lots of free street parking a block away (if you're not lucky enough to get anything right on Kingsway). Don't let the exterior fool you; it's worth finding.
This place is great! Hard to find decent Italian food at a fair price in Mount Pleasant, and Italia Bella fits that bill. Consistently good food and prices are very reasonable. Recommend!
Great value and taste, you won't be disappointed! As long as you don't mind its hotel-like decor but it's spacious and free parking in front.
Liked the seafood penne with tomato sauce.
Nice Little Surprise. In the age of hipster pretention and all manner of over hyped crap, It's rfreshing to find a little spot like this. Hidden away understated but the food is really, really well done. This is the kind of home-cooked fare in a neighbourhood setting that you have fantasies about. Give it a try, you won' be disappointed.
Best delivery Italian in East Van!. Italia Bella hands down makes the best homestyle Italian food in East Vancouver. As a displaced American, this reminds me of the Italian food in NY and San Francisco - and makes me really happy.
Keep up the good work you guys!

Hey guys! On a gorgeous Wednesday, Team Tastic was feeling adventurous. We landed at the intersection of Kingsway and Main, did a quick “Nearby” search on Urbanspoon and landed at Italia Bella Bar and Grill . Serving a variety of Western, Italian, and British food, was this worth the spontaneity or should you plan your outings more carefully on Kingsway? Read on to find out. Food: I got a good taste of the Calamari , Turkey Dinner with Gravy , and the Eggs Benny . The Calamari came out first and boy did it look good. Sometimes calamari can come out dripping with oil at Greek restaurants but here it was light on the frying and big on the flavour. The chili sauce was an interesting spin on the usual tzatziki sauce but I’m okay with spice. Calamari Afterwards came the Eggs Benny. Decorated with scalloped potatoes and smoked ham, this was a pretty average benny. The hollandaise sauce did its job of smothering down the runny egg but compared to say The Flying Pig , it might be best to leave the bennies for an actual brunch spot. Eggs Benny The Turkey Dinner was a winner here . Deemed a holiday entree, the turkey was smothered in steaming gravy that wasn’t too salty. There was plenty of gravy to go around for the mashed potato and the meat was quite tender. You never know how branching out of a traditional cuisine will go but the Turkey Dinner was a great idea gone well. Now we don’t have to go all the way to Harrison Mills for a Turkey Dinner ! Turkey Dinner Features: This is a medium sized restaurant that can hold about 60 guests. When we entered the bar area was closed but you can still order a drink from the menu. The washrooms were pretty good here; there was no liquid on the floor of the menu’s washroom which is a good sign. Inside Italia Bella Bar and Grill Service: Service was very kind here. The staff thought Team Tastic wanted its dishes one after another when we actually wanted our entrees at the same time but once we clarified they apologized and got right
Came here for breakfast while waiting for my windshield to be fixed. Fast, polite service, with decent coffee and an affordable price. The hashbrowns were a bit underdone, but other than that it was great.
Great food. We were staying at the Best Western and ordered room service 3 nights in a row. It was quite prompt, We ordered a different chicken entree for the 1st 2 nights. The chicken was cooked perfectly as were the veggies which was a combination of 3-4 different vegetables. Took a chance and ordered the salmon the 3rd night thinking it would be over cooked. Not so! Perfect and great sauce. I would highly recommend the food. My only negative thing to say was the Caesar Salad paled (was still tasty) compared to there regular salad (comparing value for your dollar) which was fresh and plentiful.
Italia Bella Grill - FANTASTIC!!!. My husband and I keep coming here all the time. As a matter of fact, when we are in Vancouver this is the ONLY place that we eat. We've had breakfast (great breakfast special at $5.95 includes eggs, choice of ham, bacon or sausages, pancakes or hash browns (which are to die for) and toast. We have tried almost everything on the menu and my absolute favourite is the Lamb Shank. It is superb!!
Kam's staff are excellent and very courteous. They know the menu well and if there is something that you cannot eat, the chef Kam will do what ever he can to fix something to your liking.
As we are from Prince George, it's too bad that we have to wait so long to come here but it's certainly worth it. I guarantee that you will like anything you choose from the menu. Bon appetite !!

Have ordered take out via uber eats twice for myself and colleagues and must say 11/10. Food is delicious, portions are huge, order notes are followed and packaging is well done. Every time I order pasta it’s been enough for two decent meals. The garlic cheese bread is fantastic! New go to pasta place for me and my coworkers! Photos are of take out dish in my own dishes.
I made a request to eat at home, and everything arrived very good! Very hot and tasty, the pesto comes with very tasty pinoli ... This garlic bread in the photo is simply wonderful haha I wanted more. The size of the plate is quite large.We also ordered the apple pie which is very good, next time I'll order tiramissu. I highly recommend this place ... If you order online you can have a little piece of Italy at home ❤️
Awesome italian resurant. Meatballs were most with nice Oregano. Bigger pork chop i expect. Nice pepper sauce with grilled/slight charred pork chop. Nice meaty bolognase sauce with the side of spaghetti served with it. Also enjoyed banana ice cream dessert that was perfect. Not too suite Carmel sauce. Would defiantly go back to try other options when back in town.
We came because of great reviews. And it did not disappoint. Food was so wonderful. All our orders were vegetarian dishes and they did not disappoint. All three of our orders were so good I wanted to go back for dinner. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended!!!
This is a decent restaurant by a hotel on Kingsway. Lots of tourists come here. The prices are middle of the road and the food is acceptable. This is probably the place to go to in the neighborhood for Italian food without going to Commercial Drive.
This is another Trip Advisor hidden gem. We were headed to the Biltmore for dinner so I was looking for somewhere nearby and this fit the bill (easy walking distance).
When we arrived on Friday night at 6:15 I felt a bit silly having a reservation but the restaurant quickly filled up. In hindsight I'm glad I called that afternoon to reserve.
The place is unassuming but the service and the food were both very good. I had a yummy chicken penne and my dining partner had chicken that was a very big portion. The chef sent out complimentary bruschetta to start and it was also very good.
Dinner was fairly priced, very tasty, nicely presented, and filling. What more do you want? I would definitely eat here again and recommend it.
I came in and it was quite empty.
Probably, at the most seven customers.
You enter thru the bar and on the left hand side an intimate quiet table for dining. I was immediately attented yet
It took awhile for her to come back for my order. Later on, I found out she's
also tending to some drinks. She's by herself. I ordered the Caprese salad,
decent. Tomatoes, capers, olives,
boconcinni on bed of shredded lettuce drizzled in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. For my entree, had the pomodoro
based Von Gole spaghettini. Al dente,
lots of fresh clams and served with two
slices of toasted focaccia. The only
minor faux pas, the chef sprinkled parmessan on my pasta. All in all,
still very enjoyable and happy solo dining.

We enjoyed our dinner here tonight. My husband is celiac but they were able to accommodate us. We had the fresh mussels and clams as an appetizer with their hoyse white wine. For mains, we had their seafood risotto, jumbo Alaskan scallop with gluten free Penne. Our waiter was kind enough to bring us some artichokes, olives and mushrooms as we finished the last of our wine (the house Italian). For dessert, we had their Banana Dora (lovely)!
Overall a very nice place. Pleasant server, prompt service, great Italian an music in an upscale casual environment. The reason it’s only 4 stars was flavour. The appetizer was fantastic but both our mains were bland (the risotto being the better of the two as the penne was a little too al dente for us and really needed some flavour.
The house wines are okay but unremarkable. (We tried both red and white).
That said, the dessert was lovely. Highly recommended and they treated us (in true Italian style) to a shot of Amaretto.
Reasonable prices and great if you’re early for a show at The Biltmore!
