    Booked 2 weeks in advance, when we arrived were told our table wasn’t ready. We stood outside waiting for half an hour. Eventually we were told we could sit at the bar where we waited a further half an hour, without any apologies for the wait. It was 9.00 before we got menues. David our waiter was lovely, and the food was good, however the whole night was soured by the beginning of the night. You pay top dollar for this restaurant. It just wasn’t good enough.

    Thank you for your feedback. Upon reviewing your visit, we noticed your reservation was for 8:00 pm, and you arrived early at 7:45 pm. As your table wasn’t yet ready, we kindly asked you to return at your booking time to relax at the bar, where you waited for a short time before being seated. Once seated, your drinks and food were served in a timely manner, and we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the service from David and the quality of your meal. However, we’re sorry if the timing left you feeling disappointed. At Bella Venezia, we strive to create memorable dining experiences, and your feedback helps us refine every aspect of our service. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    We've been to Bella Venezia a few times now and out doesn't disappoint. Old school Italian fine dining at its best. Top quality food, with superb service, coupled with a great ambience makes Bella Venezia a must for that special occasion. We'll be back.

    Had a delicious dinner and overall great experience here. Our best dinner on Sunshine Coast! Everything was delicious and we had such a hard time choosing what to order due to the choice. Steak was very tender and flavourful. Lamb was perfectly cooked. Our waiter Radek served us and was excellent , friendly, helpful. I can understand why this place has won so many awards. Would love to come again if we are back in Mooloolaba

    We visited for a special occasion. From the moment we arrived we felt happy to be at this venue. We sat at the bar for a pre dinner drink and then, when seated, were presented with a fantastic menu. Everything sounded amazing. Service was fabulous!! We ordered the 7 course tasting menu with matching premium wines and were not disappointed. The only thing we added was a side of vegetables to go with the lamb. The wine pairing did not disappoint. Loved everything we ate and drank - the flavours were delicious. My favs - the tuna carpaccio, the lamb, and dessert. No breakfast for me today- still full (in a nice way). Grazie Bella Venezia per una serata davvero speciale.

    We had the tasting menu as part of an event and returned because of that experience. However, the food we ordered from the menu was underwhelming. I ordered the confit pork belly which was tough and bland. The pizza our group shared was also bland.
    Bella Venezia Restaurant and BarResponded on 4 November 2024
    Thank you for returning to dine with us and for sharing your experience. We're glad the tasting menu initially drew you back, though we're truly sorry that this visit fell short of expectations. We take pride in the quality and flavour of our dishes, and it’s disappointing to hear the confit pork belly and pizza did not meet our usual high standards. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be sure to review it with our culinary team. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide a more exceptional dining experience.
