Bella Italia in Kirklees

Visited many times before lockdown. Decided to visit after an afternoon show at the Grand. This visit very poor. 4 of us.1 Starter of bread took 45 minutes to arrive. Mains 90 minutes. Asked what was happening. Short staffed. The Take Away people were in and out of the door whilst we were sat there twiddling our thumbs. Food was ok when it arrived. The waitress was apologetic and sorted a bottle of wine on the house. Sorry guys but that’s the last time we will be visiting.

Thank you Zsanett you have been and amazing service and the food is great. Thank you and I would definitely come again :))

Personal and speedy service, martino made us feel very welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. Our food came promptly and was delicious. We will definitely return soon

Excellent service and food was lovely. Martino made us feel very welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. We come to this restaurant often and have never had any complaints.

Compré una oferta de Groupon, 2 cursos para 2 para menores de 20 años. Menú limitado como se esperaba, lugar no muy limpio, pero ocupado (5:30 un domingo) cuando llegamos pero increíblemente vacío cuando salimos 90 minutos más tarde. Entrantes buenos y bastante rápido, plato principal (todos tenían pizza) sabroso caliente y rápido, tuvimos una variedad de postres, todos bastante satisfactorios. El mayor problema era que el desierto que todos queríamos no estaba disponible, ni una de las cervezas en el menú, la excusa era que el menú estaba cambiando al día siguiente, no era lo suficientemente bueno y no había ambiente.

As a bartender myself and a supervisor at a bar& restaurant this has to be the most appalling mojito I’ve had. Served in a balloon glass? 3 pieces of cubed ice? Sure it’s supposed to be in a high-ball glass, lime juice / gomme then double shot of rum, etc...churn with the crushed ice in then top up with soda! I got my monies worth as I saw the waitress put 2 and 1/2 shots of rum in...hopefully there license covers this! The food was good, however the woman who sat us down wasn’t very welcoming in. The waiter who took over was really lovely and amazing! Would recommend the bbq pollo pizza and the mushroom risotto! I wouldn’t recommend any cocktails if they can’t even make a mojito right! - a classic cocktail that wasn’t even made right or served right.

We were worried when we arrived as it was very busy. However the service was good. Food served in good time. Food was piping hot & delicious.

The food is great and with exceptional service from Martino, I have been dining at this place for some times and i would recommend it very highly. Thank you Martino for your excellent service.

Lovely food and service with two small children with us the waitress couldn’t do enough for us and anything we asked for was not a problem.

Food was great and out quick which was helpful with 2 small children, lovely staff and service. Would recommend

Ate there earlier today. Very slow at getting acknowledged when we arrived, so much so that the couple in front of us got bored and left!! Staff were ok but certainly didn't make maximum effort. All the meals were ok but not exceptional. Handy location when shopping but staff could certainly be better.

Just had a lovely lunch at Bella Italia. Food great and well looked after by attentive staff. Our waitress Georgie was brilliant, as was the manager Andrea.

Went here other night was not my first choice as horrible last time. But this time was great food was nice. Staff was so helpful young ladie that served us was great really enjoyed it was really nice family meal out kids happy. Bit expensive but apart from that really good. What ever has changed in there well done needed it

Another great lunchtime salad... Insalata Autumno ... with creamy Goat's cheese finished with Balsamic dressing ...so nice. Served by the lovely Martino, always a welcoming smile.

Just been here 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t wait to come back thanks to Martino for the lovely service

Visited your branch at Leeds27 and can't fault food or service especially Martino our server was very attentive and nothing was too trouble for him

Went to Bella Italia in Birstall and can’t fault the excellent service from Martino and staff and the food was great too

Enjoyed a relaxing tea time treat at Bella Italia, the food as always was great. The service from Martino and Amanda was really friendly and efficient.

A nice teatime treat. Great food, great service thanks Martino. As always top class, first visit since after Christmas.

Very pleasant helpful manager martino and food was very tasty would definitely be back soon in the near future

Had Very nice lunch with my girlfriend, we liked the food, the staff and service was very fast as well... recommend it fully! :)

Amazing service from martino at Bella Italia Leeds 27 good food quick service had a great time will be back again

Very poor. The scones were burnt so they brought us some more which were not quite as burnt. The cream was not clotted and we had 2 slices of pizza instead of sandwiches. With a glass of Prosecco the price was £30 for 2 with...

After all that Christmas food we wanted something tasty, refreshing and less calories. The Autumno Insalata just fitted the bill, so colourful and nourishing...we enjoyed it enormously, a definite winner.

We visited Bella Italia Birstall (Leeds) for a work Christmas meal on a Wednesday evening at 6pm in December. Our party was a table of 11. We booked the early bird deal which was book and pay a £5 deposit per person before 31st October...

On a really cold day what's better than a hot dish of Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni with lashings of parmesan cheese to warm you up? Served with a proper Americano coffee and a warm smile from Martino. Wonderful.

The best Pizza I've ever eaten outside Italy, perhaps the best ever. I ONLY GAVE THE RESTERAUNT 1star so you would look.I don't often write reviews but Bella Italia Birstall deserves to be talked about far and wide for preparing and serving to the standard...

Couldn’t fault the food and the team. Amazing service from the team and the manager Tom could not do enough for us. I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal after a visit to the cinema. I had risotto , not something I usually order but it was delicious.Service was good with a very pleasant waiter. Price not bad and atmosphere busy with a good ambience

Nice staff but plate and cutlery is dirty both time we’ve visited.Poorly afterword. Won’t go back anymore.

Visited Leeds with a group of friends and had a great service, I asked what would be a good recommendation which the knowledgeable staff suggested gnocchi, very tasty! Highly recommended, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Loved my visit here, staff are polite and the food was fantastic, will go again. Conveniently placed in a hub of activity so you can do other things like hi to the movies etc.

We visited and used the virgin vouchers , the food was really nice and hot and served quickly, with friendly and helpful staff. The only downside is the bench seating on the left hand side of the restaurant is very much in need of replacing...

Sadly this is my worst dining experience in many years. Visited on Sunday evening, became evident only two staff serving and they were overwhelmed. There were tables that needed clearing which were left so diners were eating in a dreadful ambience. Diners were having to...

Myself and my wife chose here for a rare date night. It was quiet and got seated and served promptly. I had the sea bream and my wife had the marinara. Both were served very quickly and they were both gorgeous. I had chocolate brownie...

We come quite often to Bella Italia but will not be back. Seated quite promptly and assured we would be seen to, a manager I believe took our food and drinks order after being sat there about 10 minutes. Starters came out in good time...

Dined here with family and friends,food was quick and amazing, friendly staff and very clean loos.!!would visit again on way back up north. Nice atmosphere and the manager is so attentive and cheery.

A great dish .. Salmon Alforno with crushed new potatoes, green beans and asparagus with a wedge of lemon ... delicious. As usual the service was excellent and Noah very attentive.

Came here straight after work (early evening) to celebrate a dear friend’s 50th Birthday. From the moment we walked in, Brooke showed us to our table (no waiting around) & we were made to feel very welcome. We were using two different types of voucher...

We had a family meal en route home from the Lake District, three adults, two children age 7 and 10. The kids menus were fine and there was an awful lot of choice on the adults menu. Personally, I chose the seafood risotto; the food...

Had an evening meal with family here. Great food and fantastic service. My little girl specially enjoy the gelato. Yum. 2 for £10 meal deal is great value for the big portions. Highly recommend to all.

A very tasty and filling lasagne served with a cheery smile from the attentive Dieago. Always a pleasure to eat here.

Just home from a superb meal at Bella Italia Leeds 27. Very warm and friendly welcome and faultless service throughout from Martino so a HUGE thanks to you as you made our first meal here perfect! The food was seriously good! We both had different...

Visited as a party of six for my daughter's birthday. Drinks order taken quickly and sorted ok, but the rest was a disappointment. Starters took 45 minutes to arrive. Our waiter did apologise for the delay. Then the mains came, some of our food was...

Went and had the pizza lunganica (mushroom white pizza base with sausages) with the ripiena crust (garlic stuffed). Did wait a little bit but it was worth it. Nicest pizza I had in a while... I had the mini doughnuts for afters. 5 mini doughnuts...

I enjoyed my visit here and will be going back with my partner as they have a wonderful vegan/vegetarian menu,I had chicken and it was beautifully cooked

Half an hour for starters and missed our film cos the chefs didnt know what they were doing, not enough waiting staff but they were lovely, not their fault

We had a pasta dish and a pizza dish which were both nice. The service was quick and it’s not expensive there. We sat on a long fabric bench seat and it was absolutely filthy with drink and food stains literally ground into the fabric....

The staff were so friendly and polite. We ordered lasagne and marco polo ( no mushrooms) however it came with mushrooms, due to the waiter being new. I was fine with it cause I was hungry and didn't want to be a bother. We added...

Have been in Bella Italia at other places but this one did not seem as good. It looked as if it could do with a good clean, ledges thick with dust and stains on woodwork where we sat. a lot of pasta but not much...

Martino was very friendly, had a good chat with us, we just got a couple of cokes and 2 pollo funghi and it was absolutely gorgeous.

We go very regular to this restaurant. Have never had a bad meal. Service is very good and they change the menu reqular. Martino our waiter is always there when we go. New items on the menu today which we all tried. They were well...

Have previously been to Bella Italia for pizzas which are delicious but thought we would try breakfast. Bought a Groupon offer for a hot cooked breakfast and a drink for two for £12.95! Amazing value! This breakfast was as good as any farm shop/cafe breakfast...

Visited tonight and had great service from Martino and the rest of the team ...used a groupon voucher which was great value ...great midweek meal out we will be back soon

Was sat at a table to find the table had been reset with cutlery used from customers before. They were dirty beyond belief and very unsure as to why this has been missed.Music far to loud and obviously the staffs play list as I’m sure...

Nice food service great just no one was in clean and tidy even the toilets were clean so yes I would recommend this restaurant

We had a impromptu trip here for my wife's birthday and was instantly greeted by a friendly faces guy called Martino. Martino seated and attended to us immediately with a professional manner. The food was beautiful and the service was even better. We will definitely...

As usual another tasty eating experience from the new menu. I had Seabream on a bed of roast potatoes, red and orange baby tomatoes, olives and rocket. My husband had Calzone Verdure, peppers, goats cheese mushrooms with a tomato salsa.Nice to see our wonderful waiters,...

On a hot day 22 degrees no set up for outside with chairs stacked up and tables seemed geared towards smoking with ash trays and no tables set up despite lovely evening. This was compounded by it being warm inside, asked manager who tried to...

My wife and I visited Bella Italia (Centre 27 Leisure Park, Birstall) with our two daughters, one who is Gluten Free and has to follow this very strict diet. Those who understand being a coeliac and having to follow a Gluten Free diet understand how...

Our 2nd time coming here & we’d come again & again! Served by Martino both times & he’s an absolute delight! Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, what more could you want?

Visited yesterday and was pretty busy, but we were seated quickly. Service was slow thoughtout, tho our waiter was very friendly and helpful. Kids starters were excellent (garlic bread and cucumber/carrot dippers). Both adults ordered mozzarella en coroza to start and to be fair we...

Had a lovely meal and the service was great but what a mess that restaurant is in! The cushioned bench I sat on had disgusting stains all over it. The material over the seat and most of the chairs had worn away and had several...

Just been for an early evening meal. The main meal was spot on but when we ordered our sundae it came in a pint glass!!. The service was next to nothing, too busy chatting to themselves and to say there was only 6 or 7...

Went for Mothers day and the pasta dish arrived cold and dry. The waitress took it back but all that happened was it was microwaved and brought back. One of the steaks was very fatty. The pasta meal was knocked off the bill but it...

Thanks Roxi, your superb service made for a very enjoyable lunch-time meal and a beer. The food was excellent, my wife and I managed 3 courses. A very pleasant experience. Most recommended

The food was excellent today as always, but Martino was especially welcoming and friendly. You can tell he’s genuinely happy in his work and the way he is with customers really adds to a happy dining experience :) Highly recommend a visit.
