Bella Cosa

Unforgettable Italian Delights Await You!

Bella Cosa, situated in the vibrant Canary Wharf, stands as a beacon of authentic Italian cuisine amidst London's culinary offerings. The moment you step inside, the blend of cozy ambiance and subtle 'Bel Paese' aromas transport you straight to Italy. As a veteran restaurant critic, I've dined at many establishments, but Bella Cosa managed to capture my culinary heart from start to finish. The welcome was warm, anchored by the friendly dynamics at the host station, setting just the right tone for an evening filled with delightful surprises. I recommend starting your journey here with their standout shrimp tartare, a delicate dish infused with a hint of spice, laying the perfect foundation for what's in store.

The menu showcases hearty, traditional Italian dishes crafted with precision and high-quality ingredients. My Cacio e Pepe, theatrically served in a pecorino wheel, was a melodious celebration of flavors that echoed with every twirl of pasta. More so, the tiramisu was reminiscent of what fond Italian nonnas would make, ending my meal on a sweet note. Amidst the bustling Wharf, Bella Cosa indeed emerges as a refined gastronomic retreat; not only for its unparalleled dishes but also for its gracious service team, notably including Jimmy, who elevates every dinner into a cherished memory. Whether it's a festive family dinner or a romantic evening, Bella Cosa offers reliability with a touch of sun-kissed Italian charm, all without breaking the bank. It’s a dining experience that embodies la dolce vita, right in the heart of London. — Jasper Griddle
