Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, describing staff as welcoming, attentive and friendly, and several name the bar, with one praising an excellent Negroni and another the expertly crafted cocktails. Among the food, the pizza draws the clearest praise, with a base described as light and melt in the mouth, followed by the prawn pasta, lobster linguine, duck, ribeye with a peppercorn sauce, and garlic bread. Desserts get repeated credit too, including profiteroles, a light cheesecake and a lemon sorbet that one diner said felt like being in Italy. A proper Italian coffee closes one meal. Gluten-free options are called the best one reviewer has tried. The complaints are smaller in number. One diner found the scallops and the filet steak sides oily and bland, and declined an offer of a replacement. Another felt pushed on the specials, having to say no several times, and one found the room a touch cramped. Pricing is called slightly above average but worth it, and one baby shower was catered to every need.

“Fantastic service, one of the best garlic breads ever, ribeye perfectly grilled/ cooked, with marvelous potatos and mushroomes, and a very good pepoercorne sauce. When i ate the lemon sorbet, i felt i was in Italy.”

“Visited tonight as in wolves with work Wow - absolutely lovely had mussels then prawn pasta - best I’ve ever eaten, couldn’t finish all the prawns (well I left half a one) prawns were beautiful not too much pasta , friend had carbonara and loved her meal too. We had a lovely girl serving us who was attentive , friendly and lovely - would highly recommend ! Reasonably priced It was £50 each but that was two course , 4 drinks , and some extras ! So can’t complain”

“I have genuinely never been to a restaurant where every single visit and every single dish has been so incredibly amazing and tasty. Bella is a hidden gem. My favourite restaurant by far! The staff are so lovely and attentive. 10/10 would recommend”

“Absolutely loved this little Italian restaurant, the decor is simple but fresh, bright and luminous (a touch cramped but that's the only slightly negative remark). The service is absolutely impeccable, professional, welcoming, friendly and very attentive. Thanks to all the staff. The food was excellent quality, the dishes were tasty, and very well presented. Excellent dessert and a proper Italian coffee to finish, grazie mille! The cost is slightly above average but very much worth it (have paid similar for much less). Many thanks to all the team for a very pleasant meal experience.”

“What a fantastic place this is. Great service and lovely food. The GF options are probably the best I've tried. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and valued. Will definitely be returning. So many different dishes to try.”
