    It was my 40th birthday and I had a free birthday main to use and it was super easy! Lillyana was our waitress and handled my gluten free allergy without an issue and gave me confidence that she understood (sometimes you get waiters in places where you have to triple check they have understood it is gluten free!). Our lovely waitress also gracefully handled the fact that the gluten free starter I ordered was disappointingly not available (no pizza bases) and I picked something else.

    I have an assortment of dietary issues, the menu was clear on what I could eat though and there was a handy filter on the website. The staff were super helpful and friendly also! I had a pudding here that I've not had out for years, would usually have to bake at home to have. Had a really positive experience here. Add a picture of the gluten free, vegan cookie dough which was delicious.

    I’ve been to a fair few Bella Italian’s in the past and always make the most of getting my tesco my clubcard vouchers to pay for the food...bonus. I’ve always found them a bit hit and miss and the food a little ‘Chuck In the microwave’. We visited here on Easter Sunday fully expecting to be packed but it was very quiet. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. The whole place was clean and tidy and the table and menus perfect. As a group of 5, the staff quickly grabbed another table to a join so that we had plenty of room. Staff were attentive and able to explain menu items when prompted. Food arrived quickly and hot and portion sizes were reasonable. Overall a well earnt 5 stars as staff clearly look after the place.

    Enjoyed a meal so much at the local Bella Italia, I went back again today! Had the mushroom risotto again as it’s so utterly divine. Cooked to perfection & a generous portion. Loads of mushrooms in it unlike other places I’ve visited. So full, I won’t be having any supper tonight! Thank you.
