Bella Italia food hygiene ratings
There are 76 Bella Italia sites in the United Kingdom with a published food hygiene rating. Each is inspected by its own local council, the chain does not rate itself, and a rating earned in one town says nothing about the branch in the next. 5 sites are in Scotland, which uses a pass-or-improve scheme rather than a score out of five, and so are not counted in the figures below.
How Bella Italia scores
81% of rated Bella Italia branches hold the top score of 5, and 97% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.79 out of 5, comfortably ahead of the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that hold a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 57 | 81% | |

Questions about Bella Italia
What is Bella Italia's food hygiene rating?
Bella Italia does not have a single rating. Every one of its 76 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 81% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.79 out of 5.
Is Bella Italia clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 81% of Bella Italia branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, though in this case not one branch sits at 2 or below.
Which Bella Italia has the worst hygiene rating?
None. No Bella Italia branch in the UK currently holds a rating of 2 or below.
Who inspects Bella Italia?
Not Bella Italia. Environmental health officers at each site's local council carry out the inspection, unannounced, and set the rating. The Food Standards Agency publishes the result. A chain cannot rate itself, and cannot change a rating.
