La Bellezza is Big Mamma’s Italian trattoria at Paradise, Two Chamberlain Square in central Birmingham. The large dining room is styled as a romantic Perugian courtyard, with trailing greenery, vintage bottles, Italian marble and Murano glass creating a theatrical backdrop for an informal, generous meal.
Italian produce is central to the cooking, including Puglian burrata, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto di Parma sourced from specialist producers. Antipasti and house made focaccia give tables a natural way to begin with several plates to share.
Fresh pasta is made for dishes ranging from classic carbonara to richer ragù and truffle based sauces. Neapolitan pizzas come from the open kitchen with soft, blistered crusts and a choice of traditional or more playful toppings, allowing a group to mix pasta and pizza across the table.
Tiramisu, a tall lemon meringue pie and oversized profiterole bring the same sense of occasion to dessert. Italian wine, spritzes and large format cocktails complement the food, while the spacious room and terrace accommodate dates, family meals and celebrations without losing the lively trattoria atmosphere.
Address: Paradise, Two Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3AX, England
