By far the best food, the atmosphere great and mellow....and a terrace that can't be beaten... Shame its closing...I'll miss it for sure. This was one place in Kuwait which showed others the way it should be done, especially in terms of quality and freshness of food. Ciao Biella :( I don’t know what all the negative reviewers above are smoking, but Biella was the best restaurant in Kuwait!

She's going to open a new Italian restaurant. I don't know if it's the same..? Anyway, I never liked it. I just ate there once, and never came back. The food and service were terrible. Oh, and the location... Where do I begin. I haven't been to that Marina Crescent thing for like 3 years. TOO crowded.

Kuwaiti is nothing more than another 3rd world backwards country with Oil, like Nigeria. Nothing special about Kuwait my friends. Its on par with most of Africa.......

Or are we not even considering it Italian? Cos it really isn't... it's Italian via Texas, and yes every bit as awful as that sounds! Biella... loved their outdoor terrace on a nice day. Pizzas were OK. Carpaccio was good. As for the new tenants at the location... If that great Noodle place (Noodasia?) died to make room for bloody TGI Fridays... then I'm not very optimistic Extinct Dodo… the prize for crappiest Italian surely must go to Johnny Carino’s.
