La Bellezza Lille in Lille

"What a place! Lille is fortunately filled with wonderful hidden gems like this one! From the outside it doesn't seem like not much more than a regular bar/restaurant, but you would make a big mistake if you don't go inside. The atmosphere inside is one of a very few of experience in a restaurant. It feels so grande, it makes you travel, you just can't stop looking around. The food was really good but it didn't have the variety that I would personally like, but that didn't matter one bit to me! Very clean especially the bathrooms. The staff where unbelievably helpful and nice, and engaged in conversation, something very rare these days. Of course don't even think about parking, find something far away and take it by foot. I cannot wait to go back there again very soon!!!"

"Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they served. Every dish was bursting with authentic Italian flavour — the pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and full-bodied, and the desserts were heavenly (the tiramisu is a must-try!)"

"The food was scrumptious, the waiter sorry I didn't get his name, was great, guiding us through the menu, and helping us as we are English, he was very helpful.We didn't think we had room for pudding but we had a bit of time, then had a meringue floating on vanilla custard, it was yummy!!!!All round fantastic meal, so much so, we are coming back to Lille for our wedding anniversary in October and this restaurant is an absolute must for that date too!! Xx"

"This Italian restaurant is a 5/5 go without hesitation! Retro vintage style and very elegant, cozy atmosphere. You are transported in Italy, the friendliest/ most knowledgeable staff speaks Italian and I could relive my holidays in Italy. The price is a great value, fresh and high quality ingredient. The wide range of drinks, alcool/alcool free cocktails and wine will guarantee you find something you’ll like. Try the tiramisu !!!"

"It was so amazing to have dinner there today. Tried my luck as I haven’t booked a table, Marco checked and could squeeze me in. First time in Lille and I’ve heard from a friend this place is good, don’t remember the name of the gently Italian girl that helped me with her suggestion as I was between 2 dishes. I simply loved how it is inside, staff is very friendly and polite. Food was amazing, I definitely need to come back to Lille to try more things on this menu!!!"

"Amazing food and service, totally worth the short 10-minute wait. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as there was a very long queue when we arrived. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and attentive, and everything felt well organized. If you visit, you have to try the truffle pasta, it was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The tiramisu was also outstanding and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would happily repeat and strongly recommend to others."

"Lovely decoration. They have 4 areas to eat. The best are: in the front where are the bottles or in the back next to the kitchen, where you can see how the prepare the things or in the middle to see the beautiful decoration. Avoid the first Floor (next to the Toilette) or the side salon in the back as the roof is too low and it is too warm. Be sure to ask a table in the nice areas in advance. Lovely Service. People is really kind. Everybody speaks Italian, even the French People. Lovely food and desserts are amazing: pizza’s are amazing. Napolitan style. They hab a huge oven. The pasta is fresh and tasty. Desserts: They have the Classics but with a lovely twist. Coktails are also good. Mandatory reserve in advance. It Is worth to try it."

"Lovely Italian place situated in a gorgeous building. Loved the beautiful presentation from floor to ceiling of all the colorful liquor bottles at the bar near the entrance. The interior of the restaurant is definitely worth a visit in itself. The toilets are equally as stylish, but be warned, some of the locks don't work that well. The food was truly outstanding and the service was very friendly and efficient. We felt very welcome. The drink menu offers lots of different options to choose from. Happy with the fact that there are also lots of mocktails to choose from. I loved the risotto di mare and found the presentation with the big skewer of grilled octopus quite amusing. A great place for Italian food lovers."
