    We are a family from Melbourne staying in Caloundra where dinner choices are poor and no great places to book in this area of Caloundra. Kids wanted pizza so did the search and found this place. Food looks great and was delicious. Pizzas are Woodfire and ingredients fresh. Service was great too and very friendly. Highly recommend venturing out of area and going here.

    We had another amazing experience at Bella Venezia, especially so as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We had the 7 course degustation dinner which was wonderful. We particular would like to mention the wonderful attention and service provided by Tonino, which made our experience even me to remember.

    Wow what a restaurant! Food was devine, room was a little loud at lunch time, it was tough to have conversations without yelling but I think it was just bad timing with a large group booking. Very good service. This is one of our favs now.
