My gold standard for calamari in London. Fresh. Crispy. Soft. Delicate. Toothy. I'm running out of descriptors here. It's freaking AWESOME. The zucchini fritti are an added bonus (the menu just has it as calamari but I've added zucchini because they always serve it together). 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is a scratch-your-head kind of calamari... As in, how do they make it so freaking delicious?!! So good. Can't believe Bella Italia is so good!

The squid itself is AMAZING. The batter is delicate and crispy. Only reason for not being #1 or #2 right now is because it could benefit from a bit more seasoning. That's all!

This one isn't fried, but it's roasted... In BUTTER. Yum! Tender whole squid, done to perfection. Love it.

Such a delicate, yet punchy fried calamari... these are puntillitas - whole fried baby squids. Delicious!

Perfectly fried, big, juicy, meaty pieces of calamari... Superb. Frickin delish!!!

Meaty pieces of squid here... the breading is crunchy and heavily spiced. Sliiiiightly on the oily-er side, but only ever so slightly. Good for rainy days 😎😎😎🦑🦑🦑

Excellent texture and great seasoning. Fried well.

Quite good... Delicious but the seasoning takes away from the subtleness of calamari.

Totally “meh”. Not really crispy, but not rubbery, either. Just totally uninspiring. Not worth the calories (or any calories, for that matter)! Blehhh.
