Sondheim Theatre

Bella Italia (<0.1 miles)

Part of the enormous Bella Italia chain, the Shaftesbury Avenue branch is very close to the Sondheim Theatre and Theatreland, so is perfect for some swift pre-theatre dining. The menu is Italian inspired which means pizzas, calzone, pastas, hearty salads and risottos galore! There is a wealth of vegetarian options and Bella Italia also provides a wide array of gluten-free options which includes all pizzas and pasta dishes. You can go for the 'create your own pizza' option for as little as £8.49 and there are many delectable desserts for those with a sweet tooth. The holder of a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence, this branch of Bella Italia gets a unanimous thumbs up from its guests.
