Bella Darwin Restaurant

We had our yearly Christmas party in this restaurant for this year. I really appreciated this place as the staff were very attentive. We had platter food and I loved the pulled pork slider and the pork belly. Beer prices were reasonable. The ambiance was also very good and we had fun as a team. There is a light show going on at the waterfront right now and you can just literally see it from the restaurant. It is very warm on the outside though, so I think adding cooler fans would be a great idea on top of the ceiling fans. Also, I would like to advice the public to be careful leaving their bags anywhere because there might be some individuals with bad intention and just observing and looking for the right time to steal belongings. They would roam around and pretend to be on their phone but actually they are looking for potential bags to steal. It happened while we were there, but luckily our other colleague was alert enough to notice the 2 suspicious people so he hid one of my colleague's bag. The manager I guess was well aware of these people and he actually followed them around which is very commendable. Overall, it was a very good experience. I recommend this place!

My friend and I went here for a lunch date and we were extremely happy with the food, service and ambience!!! It's so amazing it sort of gave us a "holiday" vibe (we are both local). Staff are nice, professional, welcoming and attentive. Food was also great!!! Highly recommended 👌

Absolutely amazing service from the team here last night. Even brought out water for my pup. Food was exceptional as were the cocktails

Absolutely loved Bella! The vibe of the outdoor area is outstanding, and the staff were amazing. I’m gluten free and there was so many options available- including pasta dishes, which is always so hard to find. The Chilli mussels were AMAZING- cooked to perfection in a delicious sauce. Great cocktail range, with some great frozen options to keep you cool. Will definitely be retuning to Bella

If I could rate the drinks it would be the highest rating I could possibly give. The man behind the bar, best server, friendliest person, so passionate and makes the best drinks I’ve ever had. His infused vodka-passionfruit shots were mind blowing and I couldn’t help but want more. This man is absolutely incredible could not recommend a better bartender.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a magnificent meal with exceptional service! Tonight we were looked after by Mikayla. Mikayla not only provided fast, attentive table service but exhibited extensive informed knowledge of the menu options. She was helpful and friendly. I truly hope the restaurant owners realise what an absolute legend and brilliant staff member they have. Thank you mikayla for being so lovely. We will definitely return again.

For Aiko's 14th birthday party with so many children disabled and not and all sorts of diets, parents and kids, everyone had a great time. Thanks to Pina and the crew at Bella for a memorable birthday party.

We had quite a few of the tapas and starters to share on the table. The squid and octopus was cooked amazingly. Not as busy as other places. Looks like a great secret place. We'll be back!!

The food was amazing, the wait staff was friendly and attentive. The pasta (I had the Gnocchi) was just so great, I couldn't eat it all because I was just that full. Will definitely be returning

Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. We had a selection of the tapes including the calamari, octopus, bruchetta, wings and choritzo skewers. Great place for food and drinks.

Outstanding food and service for our granddaughter's birthday lunch. The staff were so accommodating and the food was fantastic. We had 9 children with us and the staff were so helpful in getting them fed. We brought our own birthday cake and they had no problems providing plates and forks for 20 of us FOC. A special shout out to the young lass that served us - she handled serving us all in such a friendly and pleasant manner. Will definitely be back.

Amazing tapas lunch! Squid, octopus, bruschetta, chicken wings, chorizo and prawn skewers. Perfect. Excellent service

This was my 3rd time in bella , it just gets better every time , We went today with the bottomless package , Troy our server was absolutely amazing , 5 star service and also knew how to make the customers laugh , love a good brunch Here 😀 Shout out to Troy the best server ever

I had a quick scan of the recent reviews, and it seems some people were disappointed with the food, but no way was our group!

The staff here were so very helpful, attentive and always ready to take an order or assist with drinks and food, very welcoming, thanks!

We had the Humpty Doo baramundi, and a large pizza. My dish the barra was SO good! Tasty, and fresh, thankYOU!!

The 12 inch pizza was huge! Very fresh and delicious as well!

Good spot in the harbour area overlooking the water, outside seating, and inside in the aircon seating as well.

Tap beers, or bottled beers, wine list, and cocktails. They also have discount for students on Wednesdsay nights.

I loved it, i was looking for a good barra meal, and i found it! Thanks!

Bottomless dinner was amazing... will come again. Troy was an amazing host... Best girls night yet.

Great place with great customer service. The atmosphere was so relaxed and the food was delicious. Would love to come here again.

My friends and I went in on school holidays and he was the nicest. He was so chill and was willing to have a chat with us, unlike some people. I would go back to this restaurant and buy something just to see him. Put a smile on mine and my friends faces.

This doesn't begin with talking about the great food, my husband & I wanted to share our thoughts on the the great service we received from both Jazmin & Sen, both were happy to stop for a short chat which is hard to come by in a busy industry, it was very much appreciated & made our experience at Bella that little more enjoyable.
Being in Darwin for only a few weeks we've come back twice as the food has been great & the service great.
Thanks again Jazmin & Sen for the exceptional service!

Such a fantastic restaurant the staff were so friendly and the service was lightning fast. We even had staff checking in whist we were waiting for our food to see if we needed anything. Pasta was tasty and authentic. I'm definitely impressed! Couldn't be happier

SEN is the best server in Darwin. Great service, actually exceptional. If you want amazing food and friendly staff check Bella's out.
