Bella Italia in Peterborough

Food was good and hot and very tasty

This experience was lively I loved the service a specially a waitress called Millie

Mark was brilliant, couldn’t do enough for us and was incredibly funny and welcoming. We’ll be back again soon 😊

Fantastic Service. Amazing Food. Mark is Fantastic!!!!

Really loud , cold environment even with coats on was still cold Food had a promising start but then was a major let down by the main courses Definitely would not go back

Great service, friendly staff amazing food.

Great food and service on a Friday afternoon. Not too busy but not empty. Overall a really nice experience.

Lovely little restaurant. Food was lovely and one memberof staff stood out!... Mark is an exceptional server... he is funny, polite and extremely welcoming. I was in the worst mood when I arrived as my partner had been a miserable git.. but mark was hilarious from the minute I walked in... I will definitely come back if he's there!!! What an amazing human

Delicious food, served by the lovely Mark :) Thank you so much x

Mark is always wonderful when we eat here, couldn’t ask for better hospitality! Good food and nice chilled atmosphere

We had a wonderful late birthday here and Mark made it very special for me and my friends with all singing and laughter we will definitely be back 😀

Mark is just the best person. The way he can just adapt to people and their personalities it’s just amazing. I wish we was genuine friends on the outside x

Mark is one of the most amazing people that we have ever come across! He made our experience so enjoyable and was an absolute delight, if we come back it will be to see him 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Had a meal here for my sons birthday

The waitress poppy has great respect for someone her age

We have eaten here before however this time around i was appalled. We entered the restaurant at 8:20pm and instantly got turned away for a table of 3, being told they was closing in 20 mins however i recall that on the website it states 9pm so correct me if i am wrong thats 40 mins until closing time. With all due respect i understand its a monday evening but its custom which i believe busineses are in need of more than ever. Such a shame, went to Harvester instead and food to service was on point. Thanks Jamie

Thanks for the great service Mark!

We went to Bella Italia as a family of 5 on Sunday and the service was fantastic. Mark was incredible, he couldn't do enough for us and was extremely attentive ensuring the kids were quickly smiling again after a glass of water was spilt and a crayon snapped. Highly recommend, thank you for making it a wonderful family meal out Mark ❤️

La comida era agradable, el servicio era genial y rápido. El personal era increíblemente agradable para hablar, y muy amable con todos en el restaurante. Sin duda recomendaría venir a comer si estás interesado!

Food is good .. but how do you ask £15 for a Cheeseburger??!! Atmosphere is acceptable. Service is good. Clean & tidy.

Tuvimos una gran familia reunirse allí esta noche. No podíamos culpar al personal. Mark, y Colleen fue increíble lleno de energía y pasión.

Traje a mi hija para una cena de cumpleaños con 6 de sus amigos esta noche. Honestamente se lo pasaron de maravilla. Todo el personal era tan encantador y acogedor, haciendo todo lo posible para interactuar de una manera divertida y fresca! La comida era fantástica relación calidad-precio con las chicas pidiendo una comida para niños grandes cada uno. El personal hizo que mi hija se sintiera especial con una interpretación de cumpleaños y una vela en su postre! Muy recomendable y muchas gracias 😊

Mi esposa y yo fuimos llevados al Bella Italia para celebrar mi retiro por mi hija y su novio. Una vez más, la comida era fantástica y tuvimos la suerte de ser servidos de nuevo por uno de los mejores servidores frente a la casa que he conocido. Mark es muy gracioso con sus comentarios ingeniosos e hizo nuestra velada mejor de lo que esperábamos que fuera. Definitivamente volveré

Good food and very friendly staff

Pure amazing and entertained my 3 year old amazingly also.

Nuestra primera visita a este lugar para celebrar nuestro nieto Jakobs 16 cumpleaños nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y nuestro servidor Mark era muy bueno la interacción que tuvimos con él era de primera clase e hizo la noche muy agradable. La comida era muy buena una mesa llena de platos vacíos, recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera.

Missing TWO Chocolate Brownies. I ordered FOUR and you sent TWO. Where are they???

Our first visit to this place. We went as a family to celebrate our Grandson Jakobs 16th birthday. The food was very good clean plates from everyone, our server Mark was very good made us feel welcome and the interaction we had was spot on a great laugh he made the evening real nice. Would recommend

Been a few times recently and really wanted to comment on how good the experience has been. Massive thank you to Mark and Jack. Mark is always ridiculously positive and welcoming everytime. He truly makes you feel like you are visiting a friend for dinner. Jack, cheers for thinking ahead and offering an additional plate for my young girls so they could share and let the food cool down. It seems rare now a days to get good customer service but you smash it today. Cheers

Samuel was very tolerant, patient and prompt, although young he seemed very professional. Mark was very funny and made the atmosphere amazing.

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

We had a great visit, thank you Mark

Great food and service, we had a lovely meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. Samuel was brilliant and very polite. Thank you!!

Mark was brilliant today, 30 Sep 24. Wife's birthday, Maggie, he was so nice to her. Great banter and sense of humour. The food was great too 😀

Had an amazing visit, food was delicious and service even better, Mark was brilliant with not only our table but everyone in the restaurant, definitely an asset to your company. Will come again soon.

Mark was great fun serving us all night, had a really good time! Food was decent.

Mark made the experience exceptionally enjoyable. The service was great and the food was tasty as well.

Greeted by very friendly member of staff in a clean restaurant, service was quick and food was hot and delicious

Amazing meal tonight to celebrate our son’s Birthday ….Mark made the experience extra special 💙

Huge thank you to Steph and her lovely team. Came in with my mother in law who has a disability and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Moving furniture for the wheelchair, making sure she was comfortable and had a cup that was easy to drink from. Not only was it excellent service but also immense kindness. Food was delicious too.

As usual the staff were welcoming and friendly - this is my restaurant of choice when in Peterborough on business each month. The people make it.

mark and Colleen are great, had such amazing service and great food too!

Had a bad experience here as the pasta wasn’t cooked properly. We gave it another chance, came back, and even asked to make sure the pasta was well cooked. It was the exact same. Sent it back and it came out the same yet again! Ok, they can’t cook pasta, so we asked for something else and the manager was surprisingly rude, acting like we were just being difficult. Would not come back here! An Italian place should at least be able to make an edible pasta dish!!

This is the worst take away I have ever ordered. The food was dry and tasteless, overpriced, they even forgot to add chips to my order, had to call for a refund not even an attempt to give a voucher ( not that I would go back to use! ) Supermarket pizzas are 10x better than what they serve here. Pizza, pasta and dessert tasted like store bought frozen foodI will not be ordering anything else from here ever!

Colleen was an excellent server. She was very friendly and kind to me and my friends :)

Was served by Colleen tonight - amazing service, always there to help and make us smile :)

taste like we was in the restaurant 😋 fabulous

Another great visit with great service. Mark

Great place to eat. Host amazing funny and makes you feel welcome and thr food is lovely.

Manage to get here after trying the day before with the kids and regardless of the fact that it was empty and we were about an hr early for the kids deal when we sat down i brought up that we were looking to get the kids deal they denied us the offer so we left. The next day came in, and it was during the kids eat free time we sat down and i was curious, so i asked if both kids would eat for free. Their reply was no only one. (No love for the single dad's here) To keep it short Food wasn't that great for the value The salad's portion was quite daunting The chef managed to make our kiddie a butter penne pasta to substitute one of the offerings. Good portion of pasta on that dish. Probably wont be showing up again. The single dad thing left a bad taste.

Huge thanks to Mark and Coleen! This Bella Italia restaurant is a fave of my two children and our visit this evening did not disappoint. Mark welcomed us all with such a warmth and great energy. He is fun, he engaged with all members of our party (although my daughter wasn’t so quick to pick up on his jokes) and I thought his ‘Happy Birthday’ vocals were not so bad! Coleen looked after us very well and also had a lovely energy and great customer focus. Never felt rushed, felt very relaxed and Mark & Coleen made sure to highlight various offers that were available. These two members of the restaurant team turned our ‘grabbing tea out for ease after a long day’ into a very enjoyable evening and looked after us like we were the only ones there! I also observed them treating all other customers with the same respect, and care. It got busier as the evening went on and I was pleased to see this. We were all pleased with our food choices, all arrived hot, all were enjoyed and nothing more we could ask for. Thank you chef. Mark and Coleen we will definitely be back and thank you for how well you looked after us and for the laughter!

The waiter and waitresses were extremely good and made us feel very welcome and valued customers - they are a credit to the restaurant. The Formaggio pizza and Gamberoni pasta tasted wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant

Great service from Coleen and Mark. The service was fast and friendly. The food was really good and hot and nice size portions.

Great atmosphere Food delicious Waiter amazing

A great visit here this evening, we have known Mark for a while. Tonight Coleen looked after us. She was amazing. Thank you to the team.

Same again last night. Great meal with an amazing set of waiters keeping all the children entertained and working hard.

The food was quick and mostly good. All the restaurants atmosphere was excellent and service was good polite and friendly which made a friendly atmosphere.

The biggest downshift for me is the cleanliness of the restaurant. Tables are sticky, seats with old dried sauce stains. Foods are pricey but ok - rightly done but not salted/spiced, neither decorated to restaurant level. The service we got from the waiter is 5 stars- very attentive and entertaining, waiting times for food are super short.

Great family dinner. Just the right level of attentiveness- drinks orders taken quickly and food soon after. Nothing too much trouble and everything arrived just right. Fabulous attentive service from Mark - thank you

Mark our server was AMAZING! He was so funny and kind and went the extra mile. He made our trip. Great food and fast service

Mark our server was funny and fabulous! He created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for all the diners and he was very helpful. Thanks Mark for a great dining experience!

It was my daughters 14th birthday not only did they accommodate my grandma but also gave her meal free as her previous meal was not what she liked, they also sang An amazing happy birthday to my daughter and had me laughing the whole Time amazing service thank you so much for making it so memorable for us.

Wonderful place, some of the most welcoming and friendly staff I have met, made me feel very comfortable. Quick service and great food for the price. Relaxing and pleasant atmosphere, nicely furnished and comfortable chairs.

Emma was lovely - very polite and quick service

Mark was absolutely amazing. Extremely charismatic, put us right at ease and had a good laugh with us. It’s our second time coming and he has been absolutely amazing both times. We look forward to coming back again.

Mark was amazing, really attentive and gave great service throughout. Jokey sense of humour and exactly what hospitality needs!

The food was brilliant. Mark was the best, created an amazing atmosphere, we had nice chats and the best serving. I always love to go back there!

Amazing, Mark the waiter was very hospitable, excellent service with a smile 😊

Big shout out to Mark from the moment we walked in he put a smile on our face! He had cracking and top class customer service ! Fast and prompt service and the food was absolutely stunning !

We had a great experience with Mark who was a real laugh and friendly helpful server. He provided us with great service and was super attentive to each of our orders

Jack was spot on! Perfect service great food. Thank you🙏

We popped in here for lunch. Have not eaten here for a couple of years. It was midweek and the restaurant was very quiet. The two staff on duty were really friendly. Opted for calamari and a mushroom starter. Mains spaghetti carbonara and lasagne. Both hot and tasty.

My night was amazing. Good service from Emma and food was delicious! Would recommend. The whole team was friendly and got a lovely farewell

Very tasty, I liked it. I will come back again. Mark especially liked it! It was wonderful.

Good food and great service by the waiter who made the evening entertaining for all the diners. We have a taste card so the food was 2 for 1 which made it good value also. The only downside was the cleanliness of the cutlery and glasses which we had to get changed.

An overall enjoyable meal however the tiramisu and the end was a big let down, especially as it's my favourite dessert! The restaurant was very quiet however hoping that was down to local festivals. The servers were fantastic.

A bit expensive for mediocre food.

Lovely place for a meal. Great food and amazing customer service from Colleen. She made a nice night even better, made sure we had everything we needed. Absolutely brilliant lady.

Lovely team, Mark was great creating a good atmosphere and Colleen was lovely too. Brightened our day

The food was served quickly and was delicious. The drinks were super tasty we especially loved the fruit smash. All staff were lovely, especially mark. His humour, personality and charm shone through. Colleen was also lovely and another great staff member they are both an asset to your team

Great food had the lasagne which was extraordinary deffo recommend. Brilliant service from Jodie and Colleen, very attentive, felt very welcomed and always checked in and made sure we were all okay.👍🏻

Mark was hilarious, very welcoming and professional throughout our evening. He really made our meal a memorable experience.

Great food, but even better service! Mark & Steph were very welcoming, friendly and fun, but very attentive and professional. And as for the birthday singing... I would recommend this restaurant just on the service alone! Enjoyed every minute!

I loved the lasagne and the food was hot . Will buy again

Excellent service, great food. A lovely evening had by our family.

Lovely bright room, very jolly host. Reasonable price,and not a long wait for the food. I had lasagne which was quite tasty but either the pasta or the mozzarella seemed rather chewy, not the best I have tasted but still good. My lemon cheesecake was delicious. My husband had Chicken Cacciatore and my grandson had pizza. Both were enjoyed, surplus was wrapped to take home with us. Overall a pleasant experience which will be repeated when we’re next in the area.

Mark was amazing, very chatty and cheerful! Highly recommend!

Great food and atmosphere. Our server Mark was so lovely and welcoming - really great service!

Our server was Mark and he was an absolute sweetheart, so funny and made our experience all the more enjoyable!!! (also he needs a pay rise ;) )

Mark is an amazing server, kept us laughing all evening and was very attentive. Great face to have at the front of a food establishment and gives Bella Italia a great name!

Great service from Mark, good food and overall a good evening. Thank you

Mark was brilliant, best experience and best waiter I’ve ever met

Mark was honestly the best craic, service was amazing. The lengths he went to to take a pic of our group was next level!

Took a friend who hadn't been before. Thoroughly enjoyed starters but sadly mains not so good. My friend had pepperoni pizza & wasn't impressed & my calzone was ok but not as full of filling so lot of empty crust that I didn't eat. Waiter was brilliant though & very attentive, he didn't charge for the pizza

Nice meal and friendly staff,food came very quickly and service was excellent

The food was amazing definitely recommend Bella ltalia

Went for food here which was great, perfect for allergy options. We was sat quite close to the kitchen in which there was a lot of arguing and discussion happening between the chefs and the other staff. It was rather uncomfortable sat trying to have a meal with this in the background. One of the staff I believe her name was Lisa, was over heard on multiple occasions talking down to the young lads working in the kitchen. Overall think the staff could have kept whatever was going on until the end of the night, hats of the two young chefs who kept there cool.

We were welcome by 2 members of staff who were exceptionally caring, shown to our table, chatted with us before telling us about the menu. Service was amazing the the person in charge, Jodi I think they referred to her as came over before we let to make sure we had enjoyed our visit. All in all excellent throughout.

Came for my husbands birthday. Mark made it extra special! his customer service is outstanding! He’s a truly lovely man! Also young girl sorry don’t know her name. (Long dark hair) also gave great service!

Bella Italia Peterborough are so lucky to have a server like Mark. He goes above and beyond. He is kind and friendly. He went out of his way to help assist with a disabled women I was catering for. He spoke to her directly instead of through me, which made the young women feel seen and heard. I have met mark before and thought was an asset he is to the team.
