This Christmas, La Bellezza is inviting Birmingham to celebrate the festive season the Italian way, with a generous helping of indulgent Italian dishes, flowing drinks and plenty of festive mischief.

Forget socks and novelty mugs, this year, unwrap something infinitely better as La Bellezza brings a full-blown, carb-fuelled Italian festa to the heart of Chamberlain Square, with its indulgent Menu dello Chef, which features some brand new dishes.

Designed for the whole table to enjoy, the family-style sharing menu kicks off with a selection of Italian antipasti, including Arancini al Tartufo, crispy fried truffle rice bites with mozzarella, Parmigiano and fresh truffle, alongside creamy Burrata e Pappa al Pomodoro and delicate slices of Prosciutto di Parma 24 Mesi.

Then it's time for the primi Piatti, with guests tucking into a selection of Italian favourites, from slow-cooked Spaghettoni al Ragù di Agnello to Tagliarini al Granchio e Limone, featuring fresh crab, lemon-thyme butter sauce and langoustine bisque, and the gloriously indulgent Le Nostre Mafaldine al Tartufo, topped with mascarpone and fresh truffle.

And because no Italian feast is complete without a little dolce, guests can finish on a sweet note with decadent Mousse al Cioccolato or La Bellezza's signature Tigramisù, a classic tiramisù with a touch of Marsala.

Naturally, no Italian festa runs on empty. Think rivers of spritzes, plenty of Prosecco-ho-ho and an Italo disco soundtrack guaranteed to keep the party going. Whether gathering besties, colleagues or the whole famiglia (in-laws included!), La Bellezza promises the ultimate setting for a festive get-together. Christmas jumpers, the more outrageous the better, are very much encouraged.

Guests can book their Christmas celebrations at La Bellezza via SevenRooms, with the Menu dello Chef sharing experience priced at £59 per person. For £49 per person, guests could opt to enjoy the Menu della Tradizione, an Italian feast featuring some La Bellezza favourites.

For those looking to make their celebrations extra special, full and semi-private hire is also available. To enquire, email events.uki@bigmamma.com.
