Bella Italia in Forest Heath

No booking prior, dropped in on a cold busy night. Greeted with a smile. Our hostess Cicely was great, always checking in to make sure we wanted for nowt, but never intrusive. The vegan spaghetti bolonagise with lentils was very tasty and the lentils added a good bite. Christmas special pigs in blankets, crispy sage carbonara was great. Recommendation to the chef to keep the crispy sage as this adds another element to a classic. Pigs in blankets, my eyes were bigger than my belly. Thank you Cicely for looking after us.

Had five days at Center Parcs Elveden Forest and had dinner in Bella Italia. We were served by Christine a very pleasant friendly server who is an asset to Bella Italia in Center Parcs.

We had a wonderful family meal here during our Center Parcs stay. We were a big table of both adults and children, Christine was very patient with taking our orders despite some of us being indecisive! She was friendly and personable, made us all smile and laugh. Food was also lovely - everything was hot, tasty and as requested. Thank you chefs, and thank you Christine!

Lovely food and fab service from our waitress, Paula. She was super friendly and great with our little boy- really engaging with him and made him smile lots!

Christine was fantastic and the food was lovely. The decor is in serious need of update. Paint badly chipped everywhere and a drawer hanging off. This place needs some serious TLC, it looks like it’s falling apart.

We visited Bella Italia on a weekend break at Center Parcs, the food was great but Christine our server made the evening. She was attentive but most of all a real personality who made experience!

Very nice. Lisa was lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Good small play for the kids. Yummy food. Ice cream was a hit with my daughter

Good food, especially the pizza. Our waiter Dave was very friendly and efficient. Would recommend for quick but tasty Italian food.

Really enjoyed the Pizza Bella at Center parcs. Quick service, nice food. Pepperoni pizza was great. Father in law loved the cheesecake. Best of all was Paula our waitress thank you.

Great food, pretty restaurant and lovely server Paula was on hand for anything we needed. Very good service and food tasty.

Had the new specials on the pizza menu and they were delicious. Our server Paula was great with our 1 year old and even had a cuddle with him at the end

We had such a fun dinner - and while the food and drink were good - it was our fabulous waitress Christine who really made the night. So friendly, so fun - so human! Just lovely. She was so great with my 4 year old son too! Thanks Christine!!

Lovely meal and Paula was amazing 👏 Arrived quickly and was lovely and fresh The dessert was also really nice, highly recommend the cheesecake

We had pizza, chips and beer! 👍 Christine was a great host. Our youngest, Lola, loved the candle on her birthday dessert. Well done and thank you!

Fabulous food, but what made the experience better was our lovely server Christine! She was so good with all of us. We were really impressed with the number of gluten free options and how much care they took with regards to our allergens.

Food and drinks were delivered very quickly. Drinks were served exactly as they should be to a party of six Allergies were noted by our waiter and checked with the kitchen. Food that was given to the person with the allergy was clearly marked. All the food came together and was hot and very tasty our waiter Dave had just the right level of friendliness and professionalism

What a lovely place, the food was amazing, we were served by Lisa who was also amazing. Would highly recommend this place x

Christine was very friendly and funny waitress, made our experience much more fun 😊 would recommend if you want to brighten your day 😊

We had a fun and relaxed dinner with our family. Great for family vibes. Christine was amazing and made our night! A great way to celebrate a birthday.

Christine has been a brilliant server! She is very cheerful and we have loved having her as are server. Thank you so much!

Good food and excellent service Liam! Kids had funs in the little play area, which allowed me and the wife to enjoy some wine for a change.

Bella Italia is always high quality for all the family at the Elveden Center Parcs and the service welcoming and friendly. Paula hosted us (again) was as fabulous as always. They also do an extra spicy nduja sausage pasta on request… highly recommended!

Food was great and reasonably priced and Christine our server was wonderful. Really great meal and we will visit again when we come to Center Parcs Elveden!

Excellent service from Christine tonight. Such a character and really looked after us. Excellent food too……………………….

Great for family !!! Christine is the best server she was so kind funny and friendly would deffo come again worth it 100% ( give Christine a raise)

Good food. Beer choices a little sparse. Our waitress Christine was amazing. Very humerus and very attentive. Hopefully she made it back home with no troubles.

The pizzas don’t have cheese on them, for £16 it was tomato paste on bread with a tiny amount of topping….. the worst part was having to eat in our outdoor coats, the place is freezing

Friendly staff and good food. Nice wine Made our sons birthday (2 today) really fun and enjoyable

Great food, speedy service. Looked after really well by Christine who made our evening. Many thanks, we'll be back.

Most incredible lady Christine serving us all night. All time favourite waitress and I eat out 365 days a year.

It was very very busy and there was a delay from the kitchen but our server Christine was fantastic and kept us informed. Once we did get our food it was delicious !

Our evening was made by Christine who served us, she couldn’t have done more to make our experience better.

Wonderful service,and great food and great time we spent will be on our list for coming back next year! Thank you so much for everything

Pasta came out cold, and I found a hard white shard in my tortellini, was told that they don’t make the pasta here and it comes in frozen so the manger didn’t know what it was. Had the pasta removed from the bill. Our waitress...

Very friends staff, however the wait for food was long and the food was not worth the wait. Starter of garlic and mozzarella flatbread was really lacking the mozzarella part and was very dry. We then waited around 45 minutes for our mains to arrive...

Really lovely meal served my Morgan fantastic waitress and Lara quick and excellent service, along with great food 😁

Had a great night out with our family. Staff have been super friendly and Lisa in particular was superb. Please make sure she gets a large glass of wine. She deserves it :))

Food was lovey, but 5 stars is due to Lisa. Super friendly and helpful! Went out of her way to assist teenage daughter. Even before her help 3 teen girls all commented on how lovely she was! By far the best waitress we’ve EVER had!

Great service snd tasty meals Would recommend very good waiter service and always there to advise and help

Food was good, service was awful. In arrival, the manager first couldn't see our reservation, then could see it but started to complain about the computer system, which was inappropriate. Then when we were assigned a table, we were told there wasn't room where she...

We had lunch here to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren. We all had different things and it was all good. The children’s menu was particularly good with good sized portions. The staff were working very hard but always with a...
