Bella Ciao in Wuppertal

Very good, original Italian cuisine 👍👍👍 Simply delicious😋😋😋

We spontaneously came across this cute restaurant while passing through today and were surprised that it was open in the afternoon👌🏽 Parking may be tricky at other times, but you don't pay a parking fee on the main street! The restaurant is lovingly and authentically furnished and the tables are attractively set, and there are even different oils and spices available for each guest. Our “short snack” became the finest pizza, calzone, espresso and latte macchiato! In addition to the good selection of dishes, the restaurant also features typical Italian products. The staff was also friendly and the atmosphere was family :) We look forward to visiting the outdoor area at the back of the Wupper in the summer.

We discovered Bella Ciao today and can only recommend it to everyone. The quality is top class and the taste is great. That's rare. The atmosphere is cozy and the team is very accommodating, friendly and committed. My little problem with balsamic vinegar was solved promptly and in a very friendly manner. YOU ARE TOP CLASS! Keep it up. Greetings from the 4 Berliners.

Simply a top trattoria, the staff is very friendly, the price is really very good for me, even too cheap, a pizza salami for 10 euros and it's 33 cm tall, really worth recommending, the quality is amazing and keep it up, finally a real trattoria I'll be back with pleasure

After driving past this small restaurant several times, this was the first time we were there. A free parking space on Friedrich-Engels-Allee is often problematic, so we like to park in the public parking lot right next to the Jaques Weindepot; Bella Ciao is less than a 2-minute walk away. The restaurant was already busy on Saturday evening at 6 p.m., we were not noticed for a few minutes despite greeting us and were unfortunately assigned the cramped cat table directly in front of the emergency exit despite making a reservation in advance. You couldn't be placed in a worse position and escape routes shouldn't be blocked. Surprisingly, there is no website or Facebook page and so the menu was surprising with a very extensive selection. In addition to antipasti, panini, pizza with Gouda, pasta, salads and meat dishes, burgers and fries are also offered. In contrast, the dessert offering with a solitary tiramisu seems very modest. There was a single middle-aged lady in service who seemed very reserved, friendly and quite stressed to us. Well, the latter wasn't surprising at a late hour with almost full capacity. Of course, we don't know whether things will be a little more relaxed on other days with more staff. However, the order taking and drink delivery were still within time and the food was even served quite quickly. The flat-tasting Lugana (0.2 l at €7.90) was very unusual for me. I have rarely received such an indefinable wine. When I asked, I was assured that it was actually Lugana; this pale drink was more reminiscent of a below-average Pinot Grigio. The house wine at €6.90 (Pinot Grigio) was worth a lot more, which was a bit strange in my opinion. The antipasto platter was also very disappointing for us with mostly purchased products or sausages of average quality. We didn't understand the bland frozen vegetables with an unpleasant aftertaste, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots without any seasoning - apart from salt - which we found strange or not Italian at all, as were the sour pepper strips. Aubergines, zucchini, mushrooms and dried tomatoes solid and without any significant highs or lows, the toasted bread and olives were really good. Of course, I addressed the criticisms in a friendly manner. The service lady seemed a bit dismayed, disappeared immediately and quickly returned to explain to us vehemently and in great detail that the pepper strips were of course fresh and homemade and they even wanted to show us the goods again. That wasn't in our interest and we just find it remarkable that supposedly homemade peppers were reminiscent of completely acidic products from a jar, something we've never had before. For us, something like that and frozen vegetables have no place in a good Italian restaurant; you can't blame it on a bad day in the kitchen. Our main courses then presented themselves much more convincingly. The Spaghetti Salsiccia with a nice fennel aroma and the Saltimbocca alle Romana were well made, but the potato side dish was oversized in relation to the fairly light but tender meat, but the taste and quality were average and quite acceptable for a moderate €18.90. There was a nightcap from the house, but we had to wait a little longer for the bill because several guests suddenly paid at the checkout directly in the counter area. Conclusion: Good kitchen performance in parts, Lugana and antipasto didn't work at all, we think the service and approach could be improved. It is questionable whether there will be another visit for us.

Highly recommended. Above all, it is advisable to make reservations. You can't necessarily find a free seat here on a Friday evening. It is relatively small, very cozy, friendly and the food tastes excellent. The wine selection is also good, there is a fairly large daily menu, but dessert lovers won't necessarily get their money's worth. The only dessert is tiramisu. It also tastes very good, but there is perhaps a lack of variation. There is nothing to complain about in terms of quality. I would be happy to come back and recommend Bella Ciao with pleasure

Buongiorno, I went there with my girlfriend yesterday to eat and relax. As always, it was super delicious 😋 (Pizza Scampi) my friend had pasta and she was blown away 🤩 how delicious 😋 it was, since she ate there for the first time, she immediately left with a positive impression. It's cozy inside and the service yesterday...great 👍after I asked about the change in the Lugana, the service immediately noticed how hard they were trying to explain the change to the guest. Thanks for that!!! I've already sat outside and yes... I think something could be changed there. But our conclusion……favorite Italian!!!! 🤩 No matter when and how often I'm here 🤩 it's simply my favorite Italian restaurant!!!!! Food…..Mega 🤩 Service and atmosphere are great 🤩 Please keep it up…..you are all doing a damn good job!!!! Thanks !!!!!

You finally feel like you're in Italy 🇮🇹, because everything tastes like it does in Italy! Perfect antipasti, perfect pizza, best hamburgers, perfect Pasta 🍝, the most delicious dessert🍮 - if I could, I would even Give 10 stars ⭐️. :) Everything tastes good at Bella Ciao! Best service, best chef 👨‍🍳, great clean and you feel very comfortable there. Beautiful ambience Simply the BEST! 🫶

A small restaurant that scores with excellent food, friendly staff and a great ambience.

We came across this location by chance and were there for the first time on January 11, 2025. Small but nice. The extensive menu made it difficult for us to choose. We decided on bruschetta - delicious, pannini filled with plenty of ham and cheese - wonderful, pizza prosciutto and, particularly delicious - saltimbocca. Everything was super delicious. We would like to thank you for the enjoyable evening and look forward to coming back❤

Very tasty pizza Friendly service Recommendation in all cases

We've been coming for a while and are always thrilled. For us it's a short vacation in our favorite country ❤️ looking forward to next time

Very nice restaurant, one of the better ones in Wuppertal. Food delicious, the price is right! We sat for a long time in front of empty plates and waited for one of the two waitresses, despite the relatively empty restaurant and despite the fact that our table was glanced at several times.

My favorite Italian restaurant, with authentic flair! The food is fresh and delicious, especially the homemade pasta and pizza. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere

What a great restaurant!! Actually, you should treat this restaurant as an insider tip - so that it stays secret!!! An absolute gem: food and presentation fantastic - the perfect pizza, crispy, delicious toppings. The service was very calm and quick and friendly - despite the hustle and bustle. Full to capacity in the middle of the week, you feel very well taken care of, simple and incredibly cozy. Loud, but not annoying. Great daily menu, appealing presentation of the dishes; with a view of the kitchen with a flame show ;) - we will definitely be back!!

The pizzas were incredibly tasty. There is a large selection not only of pizzas, but of other Italian dishes as well. The mushrooms were perfect!

As always, very tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere and very courteous service... gladly again 👍😊

The pizza has a really great thin base and is really big. From next week you can also sit outdoors behind the house. Guess you should make a reservation then. 10/24 1st choice for me..Saltimbocca.

The starter was perfect pizza rolls with tuna the main course pasta with carpaccio unfortunately tasteless

Update: perhaps the tastiest pizza rolls in the valley. Today I sat inside. The service is really Italian today and you can tell the difference. I had to improve my rating because it just fits. Buongiorno, we wanted to try something new and ended up here. Sat outside in the courtyard. I think it's still being set up. The most important thing in advance: the pizzas are amazing. Really cross, very good and balanced. The pizza rolls with cheese blew us away. Service could be more authentic, it was too German ;) Atmosphere outside could be improved. Inside it was fine. Price/performance absolutely fine.

Great food and courteous service. Price-performance ratio fits. A must for me when I'm in Wuppertal.

Delicious pizza and friendly service

The pizza was good. We sat on the terrace. I found the atmosphere outside a bit dull. The laminated menus, which are used as placemats. The corner under the balcony was used as an open storage room for cardboard boxes and cleaning supplies. Which I personally didn't find very inviting.

A beautiful place. Try their tiramisu!

Good pizza but with an international 'taste'

I was just incredibly happy. Super tasty, super nice and super clean. Here is my YouTube video about Bella Ciao REAL Authentic Italian food | Italy 🇮🇹 Must try | Bella Ciao https://youtu.be/AbfMbPHSVKY

The most delicious pasta and pizza! We all finished our food and drinks and it’s absolutely amazing at reasonable price, wish we could come everyday instead of dropping by on our roadtrip. Love it so so much!

Probably the best pizza in town, we always come back.

Carbonara with cream sauce. Why? This rude and unfriendly blonde woman in service should take at least half a course in catering service. Unfortunately, that's not good at all. You don't feel welcome or seen.

Don't be fooled by the main street, the restaurant is fantastic. We ate very well.

Overall a good restaurant, with good service. But in comparison, there is clearly room for improvement... Not very seasoned, the pasta putanesca had 1.5 anchovies... The pizzas are good, but the toppings are more even, instead of slapping a bunch of olives on one spot. I missed the heart when cooking.

Very cozy and the food tastes excellent

A beautiful little sweet restaurant. We were there with 10 girls and were there for the first time. Parking options are very limited. The restaurant is on a main street. It's really cutely decorated, checkered tablecloths, wine bottles, open kitchen! A large daily menu from salmon, prawns to fillet or tomahawk! It's all there. Of course there is also the normal menu with pizzas, salads, casseroles (vegetarian), burgers and pasta! I had the linguine vongole and was convinced and thrilled! The portion was completely sufficient!!! Price performance is right! There were families, couples, everything was represented here. The restaurant has an anteroom, which is beautiful, and an adjoining smaller one. It's a bit noisy but you can have a conversation! We will definitely come back!

A small corner of Italy in Germany! Very tasty and atmospheric, friendly staff!

Great, can't say anything else, definitely enjoy it, I've never known anything better, WONDERFUL

Great Italian - don't be fooled by the appearance. Very nice inside, great food, good wines, super nice service. Come back!!!! Luca is the nicest, most hospitable and most competent waiter I have ever met. You don't feel like you're in the Rhineland, but like you're in Bella Italia! ♥️

The food arrived very quickly and it was great. Nice restaurant, they were friendly. It's a pity that there is no tiramisu to taste.. Reason.. Sold out.. Certainly do !

The most delicious pizza that I have ate in my whole life until now.. And friendly with dog

Sehr lecker Sehr frisch Sehr freundlich

Sehe süßes kleines Restaurant.Das Essen war grandios!!!Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Allerdings mussten wir lange warten,bis mal die Teller abgeräumt wurden.Das geschah auch nur,weil wir noch etwas bestellen wollten.Das gleiche beim Bezahlen. Insgesamt war es sehr laut,so dass es ziemlich anstrengend war,sich zu unterhalten.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, leckere Speisen, toll präsentiert.

Sehr schönes italienisches Resturant wie in Italien . Sehr leckeres Essen alles sehr warm serviert. Bedienung sehr nett und freundlich . Die Küche ist ja lustig drauf man lacht auch mit denen zusammen.

Guter Service und leckeres Essen. Danke

Leckeres Essen aber das Ambiente könnte etwas Liebevoller sein!

Sehr gute Speisen, hervorragende Weine, guter Service und schönes italienisches Ambiente.

Leicht ubersalzen aber der Teig ist Top Hätte etwas mehr Belag sein dürfen aber ist in Ordnung.

Sehr keckere Pizza und Pasta. Tolle Auswahl an verschiedenen Gerichten. Klasse Service, super nett und freundlich.

Das Essen war sehr lecker (2 Pizzen + Tiramisu) ! Das Personal war freundlich! Wir kommen gern wieder :)

Sehr schöner laden ,die Nudel Gerichte einfach einmalig und sehr lecker ,die Pizzen sind einfach mega wie in Italien sehr groß, Preis Leistung total in Ordnung ,stimmt einfach alles ,Personal sehr nett !! Komme gern wieder !!beste Laden aus Wuppertal mit Qualität

Tolles Essen,leider viel zu kleine Portionen für den Preis. Der Service ist unschlagbar. Das Ambiente ist gut,durch die sterile Deckenbeleuchtung leider einer Kantine ähnlich. Wenn man vor haben sollte hier satt zu werden ist man leider falsch

Tolles italienisches Restaurant. Nette Bedienung und das gesamte Team sind sehr freundlich. Leckeres Essen. Immer gerne wieder.

Ausgezeichnet, alles. Egal was man bestellt, immer topp. Auf Sonderwünsche wird eingegangen.

Und wieder einmal sehr sehr lecker gegessen! Es hat sich nichts geändert, freundlich, lecker und fair im Preis.

Lekkere pizza's, snel bereid en vriendelijk geprijsd. Aanrader.

Wahren mit 3 Personen dort Essen super lecker essen

Sensationell, sehr zu empfehlen!! Endlich wieder ein durch und durch echtes italienisches Restaurant. Wir kommen definitiv wieder und können und werden das Restaurant absolut weiterempfehlen.

Richtig gute Pizza mit hochwertigen Produkten. Ich komme sehr gern wieder. Bitte, bitte bleibt so gut

Ein wirklich gutes und schönes Restaurant mit vorzüglicher Pizza, mit normalen Pizzerien nicht zu vergleichen (z.B. Pizza Vitello Tonnato, nicht nur Standard-Angeobt). und wunderbaren Nudel-Gerichten, Vorspeisen, tollen Tagesgerichten usw. Preislich ist es auch völlig in Ordnung. Der Chef ist äußerst zuvorkommend und charmant, sowie die Angestellten. Ich kann das Restaurant wirklich sehr empfehlen!

Sehr guter Service, tolles Essen, kommen garantiert wieder

Top Adresse! Hervorragende Pizza

Toller Italiener sehr zu empfehlen. Super Pizza Top Service und top Weine

War schon paar mal bei Bella Ciao essen und immer wieder sehr zufrieden...Das Personal und der Chef sehr freundlich... Daumen Hoch..

Beste Nudeln in der ganzen Stadt!

wirklich "einfach leckeres italienisches Essen' - ohne viel Schnick und Schnack....frisch und lecker zu moderaten Preisen! Die vegetarische Vorspeisen-Auswahl war super angenehm überraschend vielseitig und lecker‼️

Wunderbares Essen und zuvorkommender Service. Kein Wunder, das es so gut besucht war. Ich komme gern wieder , wenn ich wieder mal in Wuppertal bin.
