Chicken Parma
My husband and I had the Chicken Parma - ample serving with salad and chips, again it was very yum.
Maria Bella Chicken Wings
The wings here are just amazing, especially with a round of drinks to go with it. Highly recommend the Southern fried chicken wings with the Peri Peri sauce or the honey BBQ.

Before you head over
Practical advice on timing, specials, and navigating the venue for a smooth visit
Timing Your Visit Around Live Music
Live acoustic sets run Friday evenings from 7pm onwards. If you prefer a quiet, conversational catch-up with friends, schedule dinner earlier before live performances begin.
Catching Daily Meal and Drink Specials
Take advantage of structured weekday deals—such as Monday specials and Wednesday schnitzel discounts—alongside extended happy hour drink specials until 8pm.
Navigating Interior Space and Seating
The bar features a sloped entrance and table ordering, but the aisle between the bar counter and wall seating can feel tight when navigating with mobility aids or walkers.
