Bella Italia in South Bucks

**UPDATE** I wanted to update my review from last week, as mentioned we are regular visitors and last week was disappointing in comparison to our other visits, so we went back again tonight and were met with our previous high standards. Served quickly, staff very attentive, food and drink arrived quickly and was delicious Thank you to the staff working tonight, different to last week when we left without even ordering. Great Service and lovely food Last weeks review below for reference As a long time customer who has previously always rated the service and quality of the food, today was a complete let down and we left before even ordering food. There were only a couple of other tables occupied when we arrived, were greeted quickly and seated. We than sat and waited…. Another table had several small children who were allowed to run around the floor screaming very loudly. Not great. We sat for more than 20 mins without even being asked for a drink order. Waitress not attentive and we left without placing an order . Really disappointed and shame that the service has dropped so badly

A restaurant that’s clearly struggling with the Nando’s open next door . We walked in Bella italia at 8.10 on a Tuesday night as a family of 5 Only to be told by the manager they did not have the staff and had to turn us away . Would recommend one books to avoid disappointment .

Radhika is amazing - so friendly and welcoming food amazing

Popped in for lunch. Great food at a fair price. Kamran served our table and was friendly and funny, really pleasant. Thank you

Always a pleasure eating at Bella Itillia - Taplow great host. Thanks for the experience.

We were given a wonderful table and great service. Gelato selection;superb. Great kids menu, great prices. Very pleased. Good drinks with fast service. Great building and hot food. No complaints. Staff worked well and were very nice and welcoming. Very comfortable seating. Out of many Italian restaurant's, this is a reasonably priced great cuisine. Highly recommend!!!

Always a nice experience eating at Bella Italia Taplow, great food, really friendly staff and a warm welcome every time.

polite quick service, lovely food

Very quiet but lovely meal and service :) thank you Monika!

Monika is an excellent waitress so attentive and friendly the minute you walk in. We come here often and always are blessed to be served by her a lot of the times. Thank you for the great hospitality

We came in late, 11 of us and got seated straight away. Service was amazing and food was delicious.

A wonderful experience. Radhika our server was so kind and lovely really made our experience ten times better!

1st time at this restaurant and the last . Waiting staff absolutely diabolical .no offer of sugar with coffee . Rack of ribs main meal half of which was stone cold .

Shocking service tonight! Tried to eat here for a birthday and was told by the lady ( I believe the manager) that it would be a 20 minute wait. We said we are happy to wait and she proceeded to tell us that we would need to wait before another table got their food first. Again, we said that's fine we will have a drink and wait. She then asked us " did we understand what she meant". Honestly shocking service! Also turned away the people behind us.. Awful customer service and won't ever be returning!! Don't go here as you are not wanted! The family left in disbelief that she did not want customers in the restautant. It wasnt even busy.

Great food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere

We had lunch at Bella Italia in Taplow and the food was tasty, freshly made pizza had cranchy edges and chicken was tender and juicy. Special thanks for warm hospitality to our waiter Kamran, he was kind and friendly, it was a pleasure to be there today. The restaurant is spacious, clean and warm, we definitely recommend it to visit with friends and family.

Freezing cold. Pathetic portion sizes. Complained to Just Eat who don’t care because it was delivered 1 minute before it was due. Outrageous

Monika who served us was very nice and very professional. The food was very good, thank you to the chef. We will definitely come back here

Everything was amazing, i think they changed management as I’ve been before and the service was very poor. I will definitely come back after this visit.

Amazing food, lively atmosphere and great service. Our waitress Monika went above and beyond to make us feel special. Thank you

Radhika was great! Smiley and helpful. Plus she gave my kids free extra ice cream!

Radhika was so friendly, welcoming and gave the best service we ever received at a Bella Italia! What a fantastic member of staff!

Had a good experience and the food was good

Radhike (sorry if that’s spelt wrong) was an amazing server, she was super sweet and a perfect server. She even sung happy birthday to me under the request of my brother who attempted to embarrass me! The food was absolutely amazing and portion sizes were massive, the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous and super cozy and homely. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service. Manager has been brilliant with meticulous attention to detail.

Had a wonderful experience. food was amazing service was brilliant, had a lovely waitress called Lola definitely recommend.

Delicious food and great service from Kamran! He made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We will definitely be visiting again

Very good experience our waiter was outstanding amd very professional

Always good food, lovely staff and kind atmosphere. My family’s favourite ❤️❤️

It was very good. I totally recommend it the chocolate orange fondant was to die for.

Server was Radhika, extremely friendly and attentive

Ben was extremely pleasant and very helpful throughout our dining experience.

My partner been before but first time me trying Bella Italia and let’s just say I enjoyed it for our date night , the staff was great! Very welcoming , quick service , checked on us , a nice goodbye , food was amazing! Very filling but worth it ☺️ clean atmosphere warm and cosy be nice to come again x

Always fantastic food with great service. Monika in particular always goes out of her way to ensure we have everything we need.

The penne arabiata is really good decent service good atmosphere and an authentic Italian taste overall very good

Arrived at 20:50. Wasn’t allowed service due to closing time being 22:00. I counted three tables. I’m not in this industry so I’m not aware if this is standard and I’m being unreasonable due to expectations in my industry. None the less was disappointing as it was just myself anyways. Waitress was nice enough about it I guess.

Service and food was great. The atmosphere was good. We were happy when they customized the food as per our needs. Kids friendly.

To call this a modest little chain restaurant sounds negative, but that is its appeal, well to us. Convenient as part of the Bishop Centre shopping complex, but very peaceful inside for an early lunch. Nice, humorous service. Love the vegan lentil ragu (spaghetti), and the Italian chocolate ice cream is lovely, and, well, chocolaty. Recommended.

Amazing evening with the family. Top Marks!

Ben and Monica were lovely hosts - food and service were great!

Ben was great and we love the christmas menu 👍🏻

Ben our waiter was good. However our food took a long time to come.

As always, the atmosphere is nice, the food is fantastic and the service is very nice, especially Monika, always helpful and smiling

Pizzas excellent meat feast x 2 1 with 1 without cheese Monika service friendly and efficient and did well as her and manager serving circa 40 people

we had a great experience at bella italia Taplow. food was good and the service was quick. we were served by Monica

The food was delicious, and serving was perfect. Monika was really nice , and help with table serving .

Just walked out of there, ordered food and asked for Crayons, so my Daughter could drawn, after 10 mins I was still trying to catch someone’s eye when the place was virtually empty, my Daughter asked me where our drinks are, finally a dry pasta (Pollo Fungi) and a kids pizza arrived, I’ve never seen or had cooked pasta that dry ever, I asked the waitress if it normally comes like that, “shouldn’t it have some sauce?” I asked, she said no it comes like that and she could ask the chef to put some sauce on it, by then I had given up on it, so I asked for the menu, and it says “Mascarpone” which is normally a sauce, she said that’s how it comes, I looked at the menu and said, “ ok could I have a Carbonara instead please, “ her reply was yes, but it will come dry like that as well” I said ok can I speak to a manager, she said there was no manager but she was the supervisor, my Daughter also said her kids pizza was dry, so I just said I was going to pay for the drinks and go to Nando’s next door, she said ok but lots of people (about 5 tables of people) are here and they are having the same and haven’t complained, I said ok and bit my tounge and said we’re gonna go to Nando’s next door, funnily enough Nando’s had a 45 min wait next to an empty Italian restaurant, I have lived in Taplow for 10 years and this used to be a good Italian restaurant

Redhinka at the Taplow restaraunt was amazing

Redhika was very professional and very nice. We really enjoyed our dinner because of her :)

Lovely service from Monika thank you

The place and service was very nice.

Food was OK as expected. Restaurant was empty. Drinks menu price different to what charged on soft drinks though. Monike was polite and very helpful.

Lovely meal and great staff Kamram was very friendly and polite .. great team member

Kamran was extremely hospitable. A warm personality. Knowledgeable about his food and made good recommendations. He was very attentive and friendly. We had a very lovely lunch, made even nicer by our waiter.

Visited for dinner last week. We were greatest by Radhika and shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken by a very professional and polite lady (I forget her name). We ordered 3 pizza and a carbonara. The pizza was delicious as expected. We had dessert and tried the Tiramisu Latte which was absolutely delightful! Thank you.

I bought a Cheeseburger, and I found the meat is frozen . So no taste. 😔 The service great 👍

Lovely food, nice music and good atmosphere

Lovely food and great service for a family meet up. The car-park however is a nightmare (this was a Sunday late lunch), much too small for the number of shoppers with two entrances creating jams in every lane, so leave time to find a space.

Exceptional food great staff the ribs are amazing cooked to perfection.

Excellent service & food. Have stopped there 3 times over the last couple of years & has always been excellent.

Ordered food online and the driver never delivered it and I did not get a refund spoke on the phone with some one who was not helpful at all

The food and Atmosphere were great. And also Kamrans’ positive attitude made my meal even more enjoyable. Thank you!

Kids enjoyed it a lot! Service, atmosphere top! Monica served us and I can highly recommend her!

We have been to Bella Italia before, but this time the food was absolutely delicious. Monika, was the only one around and was attending to the customers, taking orders, making drinks, serving them, and taking payments all alone. She is a star!

We were hosted by Kamran. The atmosphere was very nice and cosy. The food came on time and was tasty

Kamran was very pleasant and funny, provided a great service!!!

Good environment, food was lovely and kamran offered really good service.

Great food. Lot of vegetarian options. Tasted yummy. Only rice could have been cooked more in Mushroom Risotta. Otherwise everything was good.

The food was excellent! I had the lasagna , and it was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. ... Overall, this was an incredible dining experience. ... I had a great experience at this restaurant!

Very nice, Monika was our server and was very helpful

Pleasant, filled a hunger gap. Radhika who served us was super smiley, friendly and attentive.

I visited this restaurant Today as a first time, and ordered cookie dough and cappuccino and since that time my stomach hurts so bad I wasn't able to eat anything, it looks like something wrong with the ingredients plus the cutlery were not clean enough It was a bad experience for me.

Ordered on Uber eats and I only had like 3 items turn up, called the restaurant and they were the most unhelpful staff going and the lady I spoke to rubeeka or something like that was very rude and just sent me Ubers direction didn’t want to help or anything. Very poor service!! Need to rethink about customer service will be telling all friends and family to never come here or order from there!!!

The delivery option that I ordered to my hotel was awful. Lasagna looks like it was baked in the box. It might be different I. Person, but if you’re having it delivered, avoid at all cost.

Very good service from Radhika. Food was very pleasant but nothing out of this world. An extremely nice meal out. Definitely coming back.

fantastic atmosphere food and server Kamran as always :)

For the price the portions were ridiculously small. The pasta and fries were warm, the can was hot! I just can’t believe how much more expensive it was for the tiniest portion of food. Disappointed

We went there for dinner and its at a good spot in Taplow with big parking lot. The Bella Italia Menu is okay -ish. The chicken pizza with spice sausage was salty. The veggie pizza we ordered was not great at taste. The dough balls, calimary and fries were good as starters.

Amazing experience this Time, for sure will come back!!!

Radhika was great and gave our daughter a warm welcome for her birthday! Great service with a smile!

Well first time I have ever stepped in a Bella Italia. Very imported I had rack of ribs cooked to perfection wife had carbonara. I would recommend these dishes both cooked perfect and tasted delicious. Also the service was fantastic could not fault anything.

Food was yummy, restaurant was clean and tidy. Staff were very attentive.

Monica was unbelievable and went above and beyond to help. Great food, great service.

Had a lovely evening, Radhika was friendly and helpful :)

Another great meal with friendly welcoming staff thank you all.

Had a really nice experience here. The lady serving us was really nice. Helped alot with anything we needed. Would definitely come back here and recommend. Also was great with the children.

Very pleasant experience and good quick service

Radhika was brilliant and looked after our table really well

Excellent food and lovely lovely server Radika

Very pleasant gentleman name Kamran served us. Nice, clean place. Enjoyed the food and lovely wine.

Visited as a family of 4 whilst staying the night in the area, the staff were friendly and helpful. It was my daughter's birthday and we asked for a sparkler to be put in her desert which the waitress was happy to do, my daughter loved this. I had spaghetti Bolognese which was a bit bland but all other food was delicious. Children's menu is great and we wouldn't hesitate to visit another Bella italia in the future.

Fantastic food, great service. Thank you.

Server was amazing, her name is Radhika

Monika made us feel very welcome. Friendly service and good food.

Our server, Monika was excellent! We asked for a couple of tweaks to the menu and it was no problem at all. Excellent with the kids also!

Extremely poor. When we were seated the seats and table didn't seem to have been cleaned, fresh cutlery was out but there was an evenly sifted skim of crumbs coating every square inch of the table and seats. The starters were okay but then they got our order wrong for the mains then when the correct food did arrive we struggled to force it down us only because we was genuinely so hungry to such an extreme we tried but failed, barely getting through half of each meal. Neither of us are fussy and have ever complained before but was genuinely so badly cooked/microwaved. We had to stop past a takeaway after to actually fulfill our need to feed.

Excellent friendly service especially from Raf, food was hot and delicious

Raf served us well, appreciate his service

The staff were very friendly, RAF was very nice and made sure we were all good and made the service feel 10/10

Had such a nice experience here today, food was delicious and staff are so friendly! The staff make the kids feel so welcome here. We had Raf today and he was amazing with the service
