About Bella Italia

Taste family pride and tradition in every bite taken at Bella Italia on Hunter Street in Newcastle. This authentic Italian ristorante dishes up a slice of Italy in stylish surrounds of exposed brick, dark wooden table settings, softly glowing bulb lighting and a lively buzz of conversation, as family and friends gather over a memorable meal. Join the lunch crowd for a glass of wine and pasta plates such as spaghetti marinara with mussels, prawns, mixed seafood, Napoletana sauce, pepper and parsley; while evening diners are tantalised by the aromas of gourmet pizzas like pork belly on a pesto base with mozzarella, porchetta, rocket and balsamic glaze. Perhaps start with garlic prawns and housemade bread, before mains of crumbed barramundi, served with mixed leaf salad and a side of fries.

Customer service....caring and professional. A genuine emotional investment by the owner and staff for the customer. Pork belly ....a burst of flavour and texture, well balanced. Empanadas authentic and delicious

We really enjoyed our dinner at Chan Chan, the food Is amazing! Good sized portions, lots of variety and great flavours. We recommend the ceviche and the chocolate bavarois, our favourites. The Peruvian cantina holds a relaxed but cosy ambiance, the interior and patterns on the wall complete this. The staff was very kind as well, great service and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Thanks Chan Chan!
