Updated 12 September 2026
At 997 kcal, Marco Polo is the heaviest single item on Bella Italia’s Menu list. Updated 12 September 2026.
That price is Bella Italia’s own published figure, and it sits above the average for the Menu 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 Marco Polo
How to order Marco Polo at Bella Italia
Marco Polo is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the Bella Italia app, for collection or for delivery. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
Bella Italia Marco Polo price in 2026
The Bella Italia Marco Polo price in 2026 is £19.89 on the figures we hold. The figure is Bella Italia’s own published price. Within the Menu section that puts it 86th of 88 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Allergens declared
Bella Italia declares 4 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk and soya. It also lists mustard as a possible trace, meaning Bella Italia cannot rule that out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Protein for the calories
It gives 4.3g 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. On raw protein it ranks 8th of 89 in its section.
Sugar in plain terms
54.7g of sugar works out at roughly 14 teaspoons. The adult reference intake is 90g a day and the NHS free sugars guideline is tighter at 30g, so one of these covers a real portion of either figure.
Salt worth knowing about
At 4.6g of salt it accounts for 77% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, most of a day in one item. Salt in restaurant food is fixed in the recipe, so the only control you have is what else goes alongside it.
Pro Tips for Ordering Marco Polo
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.
Where it sits on price
85 items cost less than this one in the Menu section and 2 cost more, out of 88 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Marco Polo (Gluten-Free) at £19.89, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
A lighter choice in the same section
Gamberoni sits in the same part of the menu at 895 kcal, which is 102 fewer than this for £18.99. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
