LA TAVERNA REVIEWS

Great choices at the buffet option for lunch. Pasta salad is delicious. Pizza has a crisp thin base and plenty toppings. Good selection to choose from and great to be able to try a little of everything. Dog friendly as long as you sit near the bar. Lovely friendly staff. Would definitely revisit.

Lovely place to eat. We didn't book but were quickly seated and ordered drinks. We had the buffet deal,excellent choice of pizza's, pasta and salads. Really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere.

Amazing place friendly staff .. food ING amazing spaghetti carbonara and good idea „open food” you pay £22 I take what u want and dessert oh cheesecake definitely come back there.

BELLA ITALIA INVERNESS REVIEWS

I enjoyed the Nice Pasta Gamberoni; however, it could benefit from more Italian spices to enhance the flavor. The dish was good but lacked the robust, authentic taste I was hoping for. On the bright side, the service was fantastic. Magda was brilliant—attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience much more enjoyable.

A great meal. Loved the buzz and energy of staff. Served by Ola, who was professional, friendly and attentive to our every request!!!. Vegetarian options: Wife loved her vegetarian pizza.

Magda our server was delightful to deal with and always had a smile on her face. The food was delicious ! Authentic Italian food. We had Cannelloni stuffed with ricotta and spinach and a spicy sausage penne.
