Calamari sits 4th of 4 on price in Bella Italia’s Starters section, at £9.39 and 432 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.

Lightly dusted deep fried squid, served with lemon & black pepper mayonnaise.

That price is Bella Italia’s own published figure, and it sits above the average for the Starters section. Branch pricing still moves it: an airport, motorway or station site charges more than a high street one for the same thing.

Everything You Need to Know About Bella Italia Calamari

How to order Calamari at Bella Italia

Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Bella Italia app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Starters. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.

Bella Italia Calamari price in 2026

The Bella Italia Calamari price in 2026 is £9.39 on the figures we hold. The figure is Bella Italia’s own published price. Within the Starters section that puts it 4th of 4 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.

More protein for similar money

Caprese Salad costs about the same at £8.29 and carries 19g of protein against this item's 10g. If the point of the order is to be full for longer, that is the better buy of the two.

What 432 kcal means here

432 kcal is a little above the Starters average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.

The most expensive in its section

It tops the Starters list on price, out of 4 priced items. If value rather than preference is the point, Caprese Salad gives you 19g of protein for a similar figure.

Finding it near you

We list 16 Bella Italia branches across 2 of the four UK nations, with the Liverpool postcode area holding the most at 2. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Bella Italia app confirms it in seconds.

Pro Tips for Ordering Calamari

Ordering it

The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at Bella Italia rather than an awkward one.

A lighter choice in the same section

Green Olives sits in the same part of the menu at 284 kcal, which is 148 fewer than this for £5.29. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.

Protein for the calories

It gives 2.3g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 224.0g across everything we hold for Bella Italia. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes.
