Our server was Sheena, she gave really good recommendations and quick service! She was very nice and I will be coming back for the great food (which is decently priced) and service.

The pasta was delicious although instead of the chilli oil for a kick of spice, I personally would have preferred chilli's being added into the meal. The hostess was polite and friendly.

We popped in for a late lunch. The place was pretty much empty as it was Friday afternoon. Very nice and cozy place with outdoor seating. Food was okay, we got extra chicken for carbonara however there were only a few pieces of chicken. The first waiting staff wasn’t very attentive, got the drink order wrong. The second waiting staff apologised on his behalf. Would I go there again? Probably not.

Lovely, attentive and friendly staff, quick and pleasant service and great food! Edited to add pictures from other visits and to add that they add a (smallish) service charge to the bill.

I and my family enjoyed the meal here, specially my little daughter. She liked the pasta tubes, the garlic bread and the strawberry ice. When she waiting for the food. She enjoyed coloring which provided by the restaurant. I really appreciated Anya, one of the waitress. She's nice and friendly. We had good time and delicious dinner on that day.

The service of this Bella Italia location is not as good compared to others. The area where it is located is quite nice but we had to wait for the waitress at the beginning and they ran out of house wine, rose and other products. The flavour was fine and in general it was good but to outstanding. The kids menu was nice and it offers multiple options to choose from. My kids really enjoyed the colouring challenge.

Nicely decorated space with a clean toilet. Service quite bad, we got the bill before dessert. The dirty plates remained on the table until dessert arrived. The taste of the food did not really resemble Italian food. Prices quite high. The gluten-free options are a plus, but we still wouldnt go back. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free versions available

August 21, 2024

The worst experience I ve ever had at any restaurant in my life. The service was awful even when the restaurant was virtually empty. Waited ages to be served and receive food/drinks. Got served the wrong thing. Waitress asked if we wanted dessert then never came back to us for over 20 minutes and still didn t bring menus. Portion size of mains was tiny. Staff were unprofessional always chatting and inspecting each others mouths in the middle of the restaurant. Also we received an email telling us our reservation was cancelled when it hadn t been. Waste of time and effort.

The food was incredibly delicious, didnt have to wait long although they were busy so clearly very well organised, and the staff were so friendly and also helpful! A special mention to Lewis!!! We ordered a gorgeous bottle of white Chilean sauvignon blanc, and asked Lewis if we could buy it locally? He went out of his way to find and tell us where we could buy it and also where it was best priced! Excellent service, gorgeous location, delicious food and a very enjoyable time would highly recommend especially for the price too!
