An award-winning restaurant has been dished out another accolade.

Serving fine Italian fare to customers from its iconic Mooloolaba location, Bella Venezia was honoured at the national 2022 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence.

The awards give restaurants, cafes and caterers well deserved recognition for their hard work, exceptional food and outstanding service.

Bella Venezia took out bronze for Formal Italian, which came off the back off being announced as the winner for that category in South-East Queensland in August.

It comes just weeks after it was also named as the “best of the best” dining destination for the second year running.
