Bella Italia Leicester Meridian in Blaby

On arrival was taken to our table... 20mins before we was seen buy Sarah... Her attitude was unreal... She told us to use the qr code for ordering our drinks and meal... I didn't want to I told her that's why you are serving.... At the end of paying again her attitude again was unreal... No smile or thank you... Hope next time I come I don't get served buy her... She was so miserable and maybe customer service it's not for her....

Amazing atmosphere and service. Food was delicious. Highly recommended

My sister and I visited Bella for a late lunch. We are always blown away by how friendly the service is from Gabija. Nothing is ever too much for her. Would highly recommend visiting. Food is delicious and staff are amazing.

A nice place for a good meal with an interesting menu. Good service and tasty food. To visit again for sure. We recommend Garlic Lasagne, Marco Polo, Mushroom Al-Forno.

Loved it,excellent place to dine after bowling.

The food was amazing, especially 'Pollo funghi' was cooked to perfection.

Amazing food and amazing service from Jade, definitely gonna recommend

Great food. I asked who made the desserts and they said it was a chap called Mikey. He did really well with the desserts. Jade’s service was great. Would come again.

Was a lovely quiet restaurant considering the Easter holidays. Our waitress Ella was so lovely! The food was great! The Pollo fungi was delightful!

Had a wonderful lunch at Bella. Great for a half term treat for the kids!

Enjoyable food and atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff, pretty quick service.

Great food great staff especially kian and sarah

Delicious food & served by the lovely Gabbie, who offered us great service.

Everything fresh and staff very friendly! Great visit

Lovely friendly staff I.e Mitch..lovely experience

I went here with my work friends - just to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely atmosphere in the room, with the waiter (Kian) coming straight to our help to have us seated to make sure we have a great time. He made us feel welcome and was constantly polite - smiling all the while.☺️

The staff were lovely, the service was quick to say it was Mother’s Day and it was getting busy. The food was nice, good value for money. Really enjoyed it.

Lovely evening. Great service and amazing food.

Food was really good, and it came out quick too. My server was very nice, I think her name was Ella. Went over and beyond with the service, left her a big tip to say thanks. Would definitely recommend Belle Italia at Leicester Meridian, much better than the other branches I’ve been too.

Lovely restaurant friendly staff nice food

Visited Tuesday for a late lunch. The place was quiet but the service and food were very good. Would be happy to recommend.

Great food and service! the new menu is great! 😋 loved nachiolis!

Goid food , very friendly staff , clean, give it a go

Love coming here, always enjoy the food its beautiful, staff are great, friendly and helpful, great service

Food was OK, but service was very slow 🐌

Great food and service. Will definitely come back

A very disappointing meal. My friend and I ordered Pollo Funghi pasta, which should have been creamy, but wasn't, the chicken tasted gummy and old. Service was terrible, the server didn't even check if our food was okay, let alone ask for more drinks or dessert. Not to mention that the restaurant wasn't busy at the time of our visit.

Excellent service from Tyler, great atmosphere, was a very busy Saturday and the staff were very attentive, would definitely go again!!

We were in the area and decided we would get something to eat from here. The place was reasonably busy but we had booked a table in prior to arriving. We ordered drinks which I had the 'Birra Moretti' which was really nice. For food we tried the 'Cheese filled gnocchi bites' which were ok. For the main i had the 'Garlic lasagne' pizza this was really nice and I would recommend this and would have it again. Overall the staff were friendly, the food was really good, the place seemed clean.

I managed to change a few of my colleagues minds on how appauling Bella Italia is. We had a wonderful server, Kian, who kept composed throughout the whole time even though we were (I must admit) a very loud and vocal table who liked the drinks a lot! We were all impressed with his etiquette and how he managed to multi-task with serving the many of us. We had the dough balls and we all loved them - we could not get enough. Kian (I believe?) was very polite and allowed us to take our time with ordering - something we valued. Whenever we needed him, he was right there and I believe he made my colleagues change their minds on the stigma of Bella Italia in Meridian Leisure Park, along with the hot and well-presented food - of course!😂 We will definitely and most positively come again.

Great food. Service by Emily was brilliant. Loved the atmosphere. Would recommend highly

Amazing service, spectacular food.

Absolutely stunning foods and pleasant services. We haven't been to Bella Italia since lockdown, this visit was totally unplanned. Restaurant was busy but we managed to find ourself a table on Sunday 7.30pm. The senior waitress led us to a table and helped us on high chair etc. Few mins later we got ordered drinks, foods. They were fast delivered for my kid meals so to calm him down a bit. Missing my kid apple juice but not a big deal, our ordered foods were arrived not long after that. I've ordered 3 courses meal, and my husband had a lasagne pizza and yummy tasty Birra Morreti. I had Pollo cacciatore and gnocchi chess bite. Mama Mia, they were beautifully cooked and tasty. The waitress (young teen had pimples his face, sorry not know your name) he was extremely welcomed and willingly to serve. He gave us condiments and cheeses on top of meals also helped us to pick my kid missing carton apply juice. Highly praised for his professionalism. We finished our meals with a tiramisu and it was perfectly good. It was a perfect dinner date with my family. I am sure we will return in short time and I hope they keeping up this quality as you know it wasn't hard to cook pasta but to have a good portion size, tasty, good texture and flavour pasta they required chef's time, skills and efforts to make them. Grazie miller :-)

Excellent service from Tyler, great food, would definitely go again!

Very impressed with Bella Italia. For the price point (very Good value) the food was delicious from the expansive menu. Much tastier than some higher priced Italian restaurants we have visited. Will go again.

The food was brilliant and full of flavour. Large selection of Gluten Free options for our guest.

Lovely service from Ella, it is my first time being here and she was a great help with her friendly character and drinks recommendations, the food was fabulous and the atmosphere in the rrestaurant stairway was very lovely

Fantastic restaurant. Tasty food, fantastic service, brilliant atmosphere. All staff very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended

Brilliant service, staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, great food and a quality experience, such a cosy and warm evening, definitely will come back again

Bella was a very smiley and friendly server. The food was great, too! We will definitely go back again.

Children under the age of three years, should not be in a restaurant at 9pm, it spoils the atmosphere when the child in question is screaming, and the parents are doing nothing to stop the child.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Grated parmesan.

Went for a meal after bowling as a family of 6. We were welcomed very quickly and sat at our table. Ordered starters and mains: pizza, burger, pasta to chicken, all fresh and delicious, with a range of drinks and dessert. We all enjoyed ourselves thanks to the excellent service from 'Ela' and 'Sarah' who were super chilled and never stopped smiling, always attentive to our table. So top marks for food and service! 👏👏👏 The only negative and it's a big one for us is the prices, our meal came to over £116, had we not had some vouchers there is no way we could have eaten out. Not the restaurant's fault but come on 'Sales & Marketing' it's a Saturday night, Nando's is packed for a reason and Prezzo not far behind, how are you going to compete with these guys to get more customers through your doors? Your overheads are generally fixed, get more foot fall through the doors and improve your occupancy rate. 🤔 Well done Bella Italia @ team Meridian. 👌

Although I came on a busy Friday evening, the staff gave great service and I couldn't fault the food. The new look of the place makes it feel so much better as well.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing and speedy service, would recommend to friends and family the food was lovely

The team at Bella Italia saves us this evening. We were a group of 22 and our reservation at another restaurant hadn’t worked and they could accommodate us. The team at Bella took us all in straight away, re organised tables. Took our orders for food and drinks efficiently and accurately. All good came out hot and together. Staff were so lovely and helpful. Thank you for accommodating us at the last minute but also meeting this with really high standards and not compromising on food quality.

Very good standard of food every time with friendly hard working staff. Great food but empty.

Starter were good but there is more flavour in water than the mains. I paid 15.49 for what was basically tomato juice and frozen chicken pasta.I would off been better off buying an Italian BMT from subway for a more authentic Italian meal.

Me and my mum went to this restuarant on Monday 6th November 2023, and were so impressed by the waitress as she was on her own and did a really good job, making an extra effort to advise us to order through the app. Extra friendly and helpful.

Amazing food and service, cannot thank Gabbi enough for how amazing she was serving us!!! 10/10 for food and atmosphere!!

Gabbi was absolutely amazing and marta cooks delicious meals. Thank you for a warm welcoming and a great experience. Will be back again

Was overall a great experience, the staff were very polite and very well mannered, would definitely come here again

Brilliant food and amazing service, thank you to the ladies gabi and Ella for the quality service and friendliness you gave me, definitely coming back soon!

Staff went above and beyond to help.

Food was minimal the mrs had pizza that like a cheap aldi pizza. I had a chicken dish that literally a piece of chicken and chips for £15 and really dry I asked for some bbq sauce It looked like tar it was very off putting(tasted nice though) just the look of it. Its in need a spruce up with paint and deco the walls are full of dirt and grease splashed rhe tables are tiny and you are really cramped together not good if you have anxiety issues. Staff were very friendly though

Went to bella italia for dinner with some friends before we went to the cinema and the food was amazing. I had the ribs and they just fell off the bone.

Great food and service, lighting was quite dull which made it difficult for a family member with sight impatient

Just went to Bella italia for a coffee and a dessert at meridian, was told that they aren't doing walk ins, and they didn't have a table for us. The restaurant was 3/4 empty, when I said this to the server she said that they didn't have a clean table. Wow what great service not, went to prezzo instead

Great experience at Bella Italia. Staff really look after you and make sure that everything is to a high standard. Food was incredible and is always spot on each time I come.

Jakoś jedzenia słaba. Obsługa niemiła. Nie polecam

Come here quite often, love the food and the atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend friends and family coming here

Food was nice apart from the cheeseburger meat was weird, didn’t really taste like burger meat. Also the fanta was very watered down and strange. However good customer service from kian, fulfilled all of our needs and was very helpful. Gave him a tip😉

Come here all the time. Food is amazing, staff are so welcoming and kind and the atmosphere is great

The worst restaurant in Leicester!! Not recommended. I just waste my money and time.

Great food and service🤩 I have tried the new menu and I loved it! The nachiolis were so delicious!! Definitely coming back 👌

Lovely atmosphere, really nice food, a lot of options for the kids . Welcoming staff , good service. Prices are reasonable. Good location if you want to grab dinner before or after cinema.

Not my best visit ,salad was no where near fresh coleslaw,was grey £8.50 for them but I didn't pay for them sent them back. Pizza wasnt as tasty as normal. I feel let down, eating out is expensive these days, I at least expect to enjoy it but our waitress was very nice helpful and friendly so thats sommat.

Gorgeous food reasonable prices.

Been here 3 times in the past couple of weeks the baby loves the food off the children's menu, the 3 course set menu is great value and the food is always done perfectly. The waitress we have had the last two times is kind, bubbly and always makes sure you are happy with everything.

Food was excellent and came really quickly as well! Staff are all so lovely and make you feel welcomed

Came by for a quick bite to eat, lovely service and atmosphere. Gabi was so polite and lovely and very helpful with our dietary requirements

Lovely service from Gabi, The meatball starter is amazing 🤩

Wanted a quick meal with the Grandchildren after the cinema. Although the place was busy we were quickly seated and our food ordered and delivered efficiently. The meals were enjoyable and the restaurant had a pleasant and relaxing ambiance.which helped for a relaxing and pleasant experience. Would happily eat there again.

Great evening with very helpful and attentive staff who interacted with us all very well. The food was good and nothing was to much trouble. Great to see the menu has expanded even though we stuck with the Italian theme.

"Service not at the standard you would expect. Meals getting mixed up. Not receiving food ordered. Would think twice about going again "

The service, atmosphere and food was all of a very high standard. The staff were friendly and very helpful and everything was spotlessly clean. A big improvement on last year. We will be visiting again very soon.

What a shambolic mess of a restaurant, bar covered in dirty glasses, tables full of dirty plates. Waiting staff ignoring you as you try to order. We asked for a booth, as there were 7 empty booths - all reserved said the unhelpful waiter. They...

Booked for after the cinema, good service and delicious food

A good meal but a little pricy . The service was slow, but they took money off vouchers

Good food portion apart from child's dessert which was tiny, lovely food though and Great service and it's a 25% discount if you have been cinema 😄

Good food, great staff, no complaints.

I like eating out at Meridian but I don't think I'll be coming here again. Service was incredibly slow, and the waitress was kind but forgetful, giving us the wrong order at times or not even remember our order. The starters were delicious, as was the dessert, but the mains weren't nice.

Had a lovely evening meal with the family, service was nice and quick and everyone who dealt with us was lovely. Food was spot on too!! Even the smallest ate everything 😂

Food was amazing, service was a stern contrast. Sarah served us who we believe is the manager there. Her customer service skills were appalling, not only did she have an attitude, but there were a number of things wrong with our order which were eventually sorted. We understood it was slightly busy, but it didn’t ever warrant such a disgusting experience. Will never return.

Not very nice food,just found hair in my plate as well 😑

Nice location, low on staff, food was a bit undercooked. The waitress serving was not smiling or welcoming either.

Fast friendly service. Tatsy food. Good size portions

Great meal ...staff good ..food lovely thank you for a nice meal 😋

2nd visit this year and it was a fantastic experience, all staff were pleasant and welcoming, food was fast and delicious and our whole evening was perfect. Thank you very much to everyone, especially the lovely host Mary who welcomed and seated us with the...

Recently visited with family, cozy’s atmosphere, tasty food , staff very friendly, kids loved it. Will definitely come back soon

Angry chef in the kitchen!! The food was lovely but small portions sizes compared to other italian restaurants. I had brushetta and got one small piece of bread with a few tomatoes. However, during my visit all I could hear was a chef in the...

Terrible food. My child had the kids chicken goujons and the chicken was green and rock solid. It did not look cooked at all and when i complained they told me they had this issue before, yet it clearly hadn’t been changed. They did not...

Lovely night out with my family and friends. I had spicy sausage pasta - it was so yummy ! Will definitely be back soon.

Great customer service. Amazing scenery. Lovely atmosphere and kind waiters. Would recommend 👍👍

AMAZING !!! LOVE IT HERE ! 100% recommend <3

Love it!!! The waiters were so kind and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend!

IT WAS SO GOODDD EVERYONE WAS SO NICE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZING!! I recommend this place to everyone!

They managed to accommodate 30 teenagers on a bank holiday. Great service and great food! Thanks a lot Bella Italia!! From British Cycling!

Every time I visit bella Italia the staff are great and always giving their best service. I was excited to try the new menu and the new dessert pizzas🤩 Big shout out to Kian for looking after us all night.
