Bella Italia in Tameside

The waitress was very helpful with the menu, also she was very familial with other restaurants in the group. She knew about ZIZZI a place we had looked at in Cheshire Oakes Ellesmere Port the same day, commented that the food is better at Bella Italia. We said we had visited the same restaurant in Salford Quays which she said had been refurnished We enjoyed the evening the food was good, and the waitress took some photos.

Brilliant food that really hit the spot. Great kids options for our little girl too. We all enjoyed a very filling 3 course meal, the spicy pasta was to die for. Lovely server too 😁 very helpful and looked after us.

Great evening celebrating my husband’s birthday, staff really friendly and even give him a complimentary drink for his birthday. Thankyou

Great Service, staff very welcoming and engaging. Great Food, very tasty and good amount .Great Deals and loved the robot delivering the food.

Used to go here regularly but it has really gone downhill. The prices have gone up but the quality of food and service has gone the opposite direction. I ordered Calamari and was served an assortment of bits and crumbs obviously the last of the packet. The audicity to send it out and expect someone to pay 8 quid for the privilege is beyond a joke. It got sent back and I opted for a refund rather than let the halfwit cooking it have another go. My other half had bruschetta that was served on bread so hard you could break your teeth on it. She raised this with the manager only to be told “I can assure you it’s fresh, we have bread delivered every day”. We used to enjoy coming here as the place itself is quite nice and the food used to be above average if you don’t expect too much from an Italian-style chain restaurant, but we will never go again after this shambles. Go to Pinocchio instead.

A wonderful family meal, a great selection of food & drinks, great atmosphere, good value for money and really attentive service by Daisy! The robots bringing food out to the table were a fun talking point to!

food was absolutely fantastic, will 100% be coming back and also recommending my friends and family to come. Always got what we needed when we needed it, special mention to our waitress daisy who really topped off the night to make it as amazing as possible, the robots was definitely a unique thing and to all of our surprise was really helpful and really assisted the staff in a way that still allowed us to have a lovely human interaction with our lovely helpful waitress :)

Came for a meal with my aunt and children. My son has autism and adhd. The manager in there was giving my son dirty looks. He’s not good at sitting down and they have these stupid robot serving trays which are completely unnecessary and to be honest look like something that a child would be attracted too. The good was ok. My previous experiences here were all positive but it was a different manager. The waitress and waiter were fine. The lady who I assume is the manager was looking at my son like he was naughty. We rarely come out to because it is hard but this reminds me why because of the looks you get when you have children with additional needs. Food is ok though. Children’s dessert portions of ice cream could be a bit bigger. Wouldn’t return due to the above issues. This doesn’t reflect all Bella italia so may try some where else next time.

The atmosphere and staff were brilliant and had great customer service throughout,however, I have given 3 stars as the food was just average and ok. The pasta dish was basic, nice enough but tasted like a microwave meal you could buy at the supermarket,don't think it was fresh pasta. Shame as the mushroom starter nice,but I feel it was overpriced come to over £44 for 2, we had a starter main and one drink. Had the main been nicer I would have thought it was priced well and would have recommended. I have been to much much nicer Italians.

Pizza and carbonara was very nice… Desert was good. Staff was friendly and welcoming, overall would recommend. …………..

Great meal with family, staff friendly and food was really tasteful. Would definitely go back. Thank you

Staff were nice but lacking and busy because of how few there were. Never been to a Bella Italia before and had assumed it was a genuine italian restaurant. Unfortunately this was not the case and I would not rate the food quality as anything much near to italian restaurant quality at all. To be tottally honest, I have had better tasting dishes at Weatherspoons which is a shame as I was looking forward to authentic food. Overall, price vs quality and factor in authenticity, would not vist again, sorry.

Lovely food and absolutely spot on service, Annie was so polite, helpful and exceptionally professional. Will definitely come again when visiting Manchester.

Visited one evening with our two children. We were told there was a small wait which was fine. As we waited in the bar I watched the waitress clearing one of the tall tables next to us, I heard one of here colleagues questioning her for her to reply basically tough they will just have to get on with it. We were then shown to this table even though it was obvious we needed a high chair but after hearing the previous exchange I knew it was our problem (there were other tables elsewhere). I then had to feed our 7 month old while holding him and trying to eat my own meal. Why do restaurants appear child friendly when their staff are not?!

Not bad, usual franchise. I opted for this restaurant as they were advertising that kids eat free over the summer holidays. On the website it just stated that so i took both my daughters. Upon arrival I was quickly informed that one child would eat for free with one paying adult, so i still had to pay for the other. End of the day I didnt mind. Food wasnt bad. service was alright, price wise.. well it cost alot more than I thought.

Wasnt worth the visit, food was very dry and not much taste. Wont go again. Felt better when I got rid of it and shot it back out. Might return it tomorrow for a refund.

Myself and my partner visited a few months ago and had some great service that I thought I would review. We had Ivette as our server and she was so pleasant and helpful, one of the loveliest servers we’ve had! The food was great too, will definitely come again! :)

Service was poor, food took nearly an hour, they kept saying it’s on its way then finally apologised and said our order ticket got lost, unbelievable! Food was bland, staff not great, never will I step foot in any Bella italia again!

I don’t like to leave bad reviews but overall we had a disappointing experience here for a birthday meal. On arrival of our flatbreads we noticed they must have been mistaken as we ordered the garlic & cheese one and this had no cheese. We queried this with our waitress to which she said there was cheese & they are trying out a new kind which you can’t really see?!!! She then pointed to a few tiny bubbles & said that was it…she looked embarrassed trying to explain about the invisible cheese and it was absolutely baffling. Our mains arrived and the pasta dishes lacked any sauce, they were dry with little to no flavour. We sent one meal back as it was so dry and it came back shortly after with a tiny bit more sauce added. One of our party had a Margarita pizza and you guessed it…the invisible cheese Struck again! Dry and lacking any topping. For a very expensive bill this just isn’t good enough…I’ve eaten at other Bella Italias and enjoyed my meals so I’m not sure what is going wrong here. Maybe a cost of living effect & they are scrimping on toppings & contents? The staff were friendly and obviously not their fault which is why it gets 2 stars but I’m sorry to say we won’t ever return.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Awful food, the ‘new recipe pollo pasta’ was children’s pasta microwaved with a cup of soup poured on top. I’ve never tasted something so disgusting, both pasta meals were microwaved. I’ve tasted nicer Tesco ready meals. Was told my meal would be taken of the order and wouldn’t have to pay, however I still managed to be charged £50 for food that was revolting that got sent back!! There are so many other lovely restaurants in the area, spend an extra £20 and you could have 4 beautiful steaks from miller and carter, £20 less for a beaut meal from Wagamamas next door. This place needs closing down and turning into something else, because every inch of food was pathetic to be served with them price tags. Please don’t waste your time. If you fancy an Italian, this place made me realise I’ll just stay home and make my own.

We had family staying with us from Australia so decided to all go for a meal there together ( my son in law has restaurant s in Oz), on entering the restaurant it looked amazing but the food was really disappointing . We had a selection of food and one starter ( which states is big enough to share for 2) ... maybe 2 toddlers!! It was a garlic and cheese flatbread...we stated that it was a mistake because we'd ordered one with cheese...on scrutinizing it the waiter said yes there it is and if you looked closely you could see a few strands of cheese. I ordered the margarita pizza with salad and it was dry and inedible....my grandson commented that it looked like a crisp and could snap! The salad was limp and tasteless...we had a selection of food and were never offered pepper or parmesan ( expected at an Italian) on our meals. Overall if was a very disappointing evening and one which we will never repeat again... However lovely the venue looks.... don't be deceived!

I'm not sure what isn't working at the branch but something needs fixing. It looked understaffed in terms of servers and the member of staff we dealt with clearly not having a good day, he was unapproachable and unhelpful at times when asking questions. The food was also very disappointing. The pizza didn't have a lot on it and the same with the pasta dish, they are both expensive so this felt like a real rip off. Unfortunately it wasn't a pleasant experience so with regret we won't return which is a shame as we usually enjoy Bella Italia.

I don’t like writing poor reviews , but unfortunately the food here today was really appalling, we ordered the calamari & garlic flatbread to share the calamari was obviously mass produced, no surprise really when eating at a chain, but at least it was edible the flatbread was inedible, as was the calzone pizza, along with the spicy sausage pasta , which my daughter had ordered, a real disappointment don’t bother spending your hard earned cash here

Ordered a chicken Caesar salad to go with extra bits in. Quick service. Staff friendly. Good delicious. Would collect food again.

Staff were super helpful and friendly on our visit! Restaurant was also super clean and tidy. The food was delicious we love it every time here! Will definitely be back soon

Sat afternoon meal with my family for my son's 7th birthday. I booked and told the restaurant or was a special occasion and the man that seated us was lovely with my son and made him laugh. Pizzas were good and the kids enjoyed the kids meals. Portion of chips rip off for price. Shane Bella doesn't give a little birthday cake and hat like some of their competitors.

Good food and helpful staff. Clean and tidy with a welcoming atmosphere. Modest lightening. Happy

Really great service from Ewelina, food arrived fast and hot. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Just visited the Ashton Moss restaurant and ourselves and another couple were refused a table as we hadn’t booked The place was half empty at 19-30 on a Tuesday evening.They have just lost 4 customers for life.

Everything was spot on!! The service was too the food was delicious and hot, we will definitely be coming again, staff were all so friendly and polite

Visited between Christmas and New Year 2022. Staff were excellent. Table and ambience good. Very slightly on the expensive side for meals. We were a party of three - 1 x Margherita Pizza (hard to get wrong) 1 x lasagne - ok, but just under...

Myself my husband and our three children visited today and had a fantastic meal! We took advantage of the children eat for £1 deal and were not disappointed! Each of our children enjoyed three course and we had starters and mains, all of the food...

Service sometimes a little slow food and drink over priced .food that we ordered was nice but very pricey for what it was .small non alcoholic drink nearly £5 .breaded chicken fillet £15 which needed a sauce with it as very dry .

Came to Bella Italia as a second choice as a restaurant nearby hadn’t ordered our food, and after explaining the situation, Demi the waitress made sure our childrens food was absolutely rushed so they weren’t starving, and her service was second to none, lovely experience...

Excellent service and good meal, Demi was brilliant, a real asset to the restaurant. Very attentive and went above and beyond giving a personal touch - and great with the kids.

First time here for us. Friendly staff and clean premises. Food was fine as was the wine. My wife and myself prefer a smaller more intimate type place, with more background music than the louder, noisier sort played in these open rooms, and that along...

The food had mixed reviews from us all. The pizza was sensational as was one of the pasta dishes. The other two pasta dishes were tasty but they were very oily. Obviously a little oil is always expected but the bowls were left with a...

We had the salmon dish and it was excellent - very well cooked and delicious sauce. Abbie was super friendly and helpful. Maybe could turn the music down a little bit - it was quite loud!

My son and his friends visit Bella this week, as he loves the pizza there. They really enjoyed the service and the food, thanks for the lovely manager Tash! Top Restaurant, top service, top food.

From our first interaction Demi made the whole process extremely easy (especially with a 3 year old). Gave advice on the meals and also how to make the most of certain offers. I will hold my hands up and admit im not Bellas biggest fan...

We visited tonight as a celebration for my son as a family of 7. We recieved a very warm welcome and we were shown our table which was overlooking the pass. We had our drinks order taken within a few moments of being seated, and...

Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff, especially Connor who looked after us all and all of our dietary needs. Would definitely recommend and return

We visited on a busy mid week night, greeted by a friendly host and quickly seated. I ordered the calamari to start which was disappointing for the £7.49 price of it. Tiny bowl with pieces of "calamari" about the size of popcorn chicken...each piece barely...

Was welcomed by a very smart and polite gentleman named Jack as I found out later. His customer service was excellent and the food was very good fresh and generous portions. Just sorry couldn’t leave a tip as I was paying with card 😟 The...

Went for a quick bite before the cinema. Amanda was very friendly, polite, and professional. She made a big effort with other diners who asked her to take photos of their celebration. Great host and food was delicious as always.

My husband and I went to Bella Italia as a rather last minute decision so we didn't have a table booked. The host said there was a 20ish minute wait so we had a drink at the bar while we waited. They managed to get...

Demi was very friendly and made sure we were well looked after from start to finish. It's very refreshing to have someone happy to be in service job nowadays.

This is now our new favourite place to visit. Perfect atmosphere, very welcoming staff and a great meal, We were seated straight away and felt very welcomed by staff, the menu is great lots to choose from. The food was brought to us straight away...

Amanda was our server tonight and she was very nice and helped us in any way she could. 10/10 for food quality and service, would return

Food was good and Demi was amazing will visit again service was fast same with the drinks would recommend

I want to start saying that the pizza wasn’t the best I’ve eaten (I’m Italian so perhaps that is to take into consideration when reading this review). I decided to still give 5 stars thanks to Abbie, our waitress. She has done an exception job....

Me and my friends have been going to Bella Italia for ages. After sitting down we noted it took almost 15 minutes for somebody to come and take our drink order (not too worrying) after ordering our drinks they took around 10 minutes to come...

Roxsy was very nice. The food was good and the service was really quick. I definitely visit again. Good times

Had a great evening with the family for my Mum's birthday meal. Amanda our waitress was great and made us feel so welcome. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Great asset and glad we had her waiting our table.

I booked for a birthday meal for my family, and the experience is nothing but excellent. Food is delicious and top notch! Our Server ABBIE was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend it for anyone celebrating special occasion. The restaurant atmosphere is just excellent!

One starter came out cold. For the prices of the mains, the standard of food has fallen dramatically. Reduced choices in a "new menu". As for flavour in general, nothing special. Carbonara not available (I'm sorry an Italian restaurant without carbonara, this type of sauce...

We visited Bella Italia to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and I have to say it was a brilliant all around experience. We received a warm friendly greeting and were immediately showed to our table. We were served by Abbie who was amazing. We ordered drinks...

My husband and I have visited a number of times now, and also as a family with our son, daughter in law, and two young granddaughters. The food has so far always been either great, or absolutely beautiful! We’ve been served by a few different...

My partner has a very severe nut allergy, and Natasha was absolutely wonderful in handling it and making us feel like we weren't a burden. The food was also lovely and didn't take too long from the ktichen either.

For the second time attempting to order from this restaurant, they did not accept the order as it 'timed out'. If youre not able to take orders at 11:30 am, adjust your opening hours... I've no money to order food now as refund will take...

My family and I were looked after by an extremely efficient and friendly person named Abbie. 5 stars for your efforts, Abbie. Food was also good at reasonable price. 👍

Had a family meal for my daughters 18th, the restaurant was very busy. Our waitress Amanda despite being rushed off her feet gave us first class service and the food was lovely. Thank you Ananda for making us and my daughter feel very special.

Great service from Amanda, always goes the extra mile. Really friendly and attentive. Food was lovely and served quickly.

Katie was our waitress today and was absolutely excellent. She was attentive and very patient with all our children (large family with lots of little ones). Food was lovely.

I’ve just had a meal at Bella Italian in Ashton. The food was lovely and Amanda was lovely! If you are in the area definitely give it a go!

Our waitress tonight was Amanda, absolutely lovely first class service. Nothing was too much trouble for this lady. It’s not often you come across this genuine type of service anymore she definitely deserves a 11/10. Food was lovely too. Thank you. Lorraine & Tracey ❤️
