Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Bella Italia offers a separate vegan menu. That menu includes multiple starters, a vegan garlic pizza with vegan cheese, gnocchi alla sorrentina, mushroom risotto (vegan option on request), pizza zucca, vegamisu, and clearly marked vegan wines. Multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm dedicated vegan options, a vegan cheese option, and knowledgeable staff. The menu itself marks items clearly. The kitchen is shared, but the vegan offering is comprehensive and well-signposted.

Bella Italia offers some gluten-free options including a pizza with a gluten-free base, and several dishes can be prepared gluten-free on request, such as Le Polpette, slow-roast pork belly, and chicken involtini. A HappyCow review notes poor gluten-free options and describes the gluten-free pizza base as a let-down. The atly.com listing reports a 'decent range' of gluten-free options including a praised Suprema pizza. No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned, and there is no current accreditation from Coeliac Australia. Staff awareness remains untested.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
