Bella Italia is set to open a new restaurant in Newcastle city centre’s Grey’s Quarter, the new dining development in intu Eldon Square, following an £850k investment creating 35 new jobs.

The new location is Bella’s third in the area, with other sites already established at Metrocentre and Silverlink Retail Park.

“The buzzing new development will be the destination to all with so many new choices and those visiting Bella will be treated to our great new menu, featuring fresh pasta from the Gaetarelli family, a fabulous new restaurant, which will bring you the warmth of Mediterranean summer and a dedicated team that can’t wait to serve the visitors of intu Eldon Square.”
