Bella Italia Hanover Street is an Italian restaurant at 9–11 Hanover Street in central Edinburgh. Its two-storey city-centre setting is convenient for Princes Street, the National Gallery and Edinburgh Castle, making it suitable for lunch during a day out or a relaxed dinner afterwards.

Pasta is a central part of the menu, including familiar combinations such as carbonara and slow-cooked bolognese. Hand-stretched pizzas provide another core choice, joined by burgers, salads and Italian-inspired main dishes for diners looking beyond pasta and pizza.

Vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten options are identified across the range, while a dedicated children’s menu offers different portion sizes for younger diners. Starters can be shared at the table, and gelato, brownies and other desserts round out a family meal or group occasion.

Wine, beer, cocktails and alcohol free drinks accompany the food, and the restaurant welcomes both reservations and walk-ins. Guests with allergies should consult the latest information and speak to staff because recipes and shared kitchen preparation may change.

Address: 9–11 Hanover Street, Edinburgh EH2 2DL, Scotland
