Bella Italia later this week will open its newest restaurant in Croydon’s Valley Leisure Park, just in time for the festive holidays. Opening on December 6, diners can enjoy the warm embrace of Italian hospitality and the rich flavours of Bella Italia’s authentic dishes.
The new restaurant aims to provide a cozy yet lively atmosphere ideal for holiday gatherings, family meals, and post-shopping treats, for up to 160 guests.
Bella Italia will be filling the space with Italian spirit, delicious food, and a joyful welcome for everyone after the launch of their delicious Christmas menu including the showstopper dish on the menu, the Christmas Camembert Pizza.
A classic Italian pizza with tomato base, mozzarella cheese, pulled oak-smoked turkey, smoked bacon lardons and a drizzle of cranberry sauce.
Guests will also find a festive menu full of freshly prepared, hand-stretched sourdough pizzas, comforting pasta dishes, and indulgent desserts, crafted to capture the magic of a true Italian Christmas.
A gelato cart filled with favourite flavours adds a fun, sweet touch for diners of all ages, offering something special for everyone to enjoy.

The Croydon opening is part of Bella Italia’s ‘Feel Bella’ campaign, which invites guests to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and unwind over delicious food, and the comforting feel of Italian hospitality.
Bella Italia’s signature dishes—from creamy carbonara and rich Bolognese to the delicate textures of risottos and bold flavours of its classic Lasagne Verdi—are prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients and inspired by regional Italian recipes, bringing Italy’s rich culinary heritage to each table.
To enhance the festive atmosphere, Bella Italia Croydon will offer a seasonal twist on its classic menu, featuring holiday-inspired dishes crafted to celebrate the flavours of Christmas Italian-style. From hearty winter pastas to special pizzas, the menu brings everyone together to chat, laugh, and create holiday memories over delicious food.
A Bella Italia spokesperson said of the opening: “We’re delighted to bring the authentic taste and spirit of Italy to Croydon at such a festive time of year. Our new location is designed to be a welcoming haven where guests can slow down, enjoy great food, and feel like part of our extended family. The Valley Leisure Park is the perfect setting to bring people together this Christmas, whether they’re enjoying a special family meal, catching up with friends, or stopping by after a day of shopping.”
