Harden's says

Taking over the Montpelier premises that housed Bell's Diner (RIP), Bianchi's is the latest venture from the team behind Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripiena, and aims to be "an old school trattoria".

Taking over the Montpelier premises that for over 40 years housed the much-loved Bell’s Diner (RIP), this summer-2019 Italian yearling is from the team behind local hits Pasta Loco, Pasta Ripiena, and La Sorella. Top Tip – very competitively priced lunch deal.

Replacing the legendary Bell's Diner, this ...
Reviewed 2 months, 21 days ago

"Replacing the legendary Bell's Diner, this small Italian bistro is sister to Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripiena. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, pleasant atmosphere (but might be a bit noisy in the back rooms). Interesting selection of dishes, especially the pastas. Miscommunication in the kitchen meant a long delay between starter and main, although apologies were made. One of the dishes (mackerel) appeared dull and unattractive on the plate and was far greasier than even an oily fish should be. Possibly left waiting for the other dish . Deleted without request from the bill. "
