First images of La Bellezza, a brand-new Italian restaurant opening in the Paradise Birmingham development, have been released ahead of its official opening this month.

The 150-cover, 4,800 sq ft venue comes from the Big Mamma Group, which is behind several Italian-inspired trattoria across Europe, with this the group’s first UK site outside of London.

Occupying the lower ground floor of Two Chamberlain Square, the space is described as ‘a hallowed theatre to food’, with ancient Italian artefacts, more than 5,000 vintage bottles, handmade Murano glass chandeliers and antique paintings adorning its interior.

Napoli-born Head Chef Domenico has curated a menu which utilises ingredients sourced directly from the brand’s 170 artisan traders.

Guests can tuck into 250g burrata, fresh from Puglia, filled with homemade pesto di basilico, savour delicately salty slices of 24-month-aged prosciutto di Parma DOP from Paolo and Gianfranco Leoncini, then mop it all up with oregano-dusted focaccia, made in house every day.

Primi courses include homemade linguine, spaghetti, ravioli, pici and mafaldine, tossed in your choice of rich sauces like spiced Cornish lamb, slow‑cooked in a San Marzano tomatoes DOP ragù, or creamy truffle mascarpone, with shavings of fresh black Umbrian truffle.

There is also the option of indulging in the tableside 4kh pecorino wheel, a six-inch-tall lemon meringue pie or a giant caramel gelato-stuffed profiterole.

La Bellezza opens Fri 29 Nov. Reservations are open now, book your spot using the button below.
