The unpretentious cottage-like cafe in George Town’s Pulau Tikus, has been serving our favourite Italian dishes for 26 years.

It’s now time to bid ‘ciao’ to Restorante Bella Italia Pizzeria, a neighbourhood landmark.

Among others, rising costs with everything has been one reason given for its impending closure. This can be easily understood, given the eatery’s reputation for being consistent with the quality of food served over two decades.

No closing date has been given except that it will be “soon.”

Pop in for a last hurrah and be sure to get the ever-smiling and warm Isaac to keep you posted on future developments (if any).

Grazie per i ricordi (thanks for the memories)!
