Lori has served us twice now in this branch and for both occasions she has been extremely patient and accommodating with us (we had a big group with children). She was able to provide some recommendations which we really appreciated. She was great and responsive to our requests. She’s a great asset for your team

I stopped by this store because my child wanted to eat pizza. Because it was a tourist spot, there were a lot of people, but I didn't feel it was particularly delicious. It was frustrating that the food didn't come out for over 30 minutes when I ordered it, and the service wasn't very good... I wouldn't have visited this restaurant if it wasn't a tourist attraction.

What a disastrous experience... AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!!.. Me and my girlfriend went there for a dinner and GOD was this baaad... Mozzarella sticks came with sweet chilli sous (god knows why) meet balls where the size of a popcorn and tasting terrible, probably because frozen... I had a pasta with shrimps which i nearly vomited after tasting .. My girlfriend ordered a lasagna (please look at photo) that lookS like a SOUP..... we couldn't wait for the desert and asked for a desert refund as we didn't want to get food poisoning.... NOT EVEN ONE ITALIAN PERSON WORKS THERE (that should say enough) .... Last but not least we were tricked by the 4.1 star reviews of 1700 people (likely ENGLISH) and let me tell you... DONT YOU EVER TRUST ENGLISH PEOPLE ABOUT FOOD....They are capable of eating dog food and give it a 5 star review... This is a nation that would rather eat fish and chips all day everyday but good food... Its unbelievable how this people are able to disrespect themselves and continue eat dog food... The kind if people who will try to bake a cake with onions.... England is a terrible place for food lovers..... Service was good and lady was lovely, but she did agreed with us about the food.. ENGLISH PEOPLE ARE WELCOME... EVERYONE ELSE, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID... THANK ME LATER

I would never go back. We went without a reservation, and even though the place wasn’t full, they told us they would do their best and that we had to wait 10 minutes, so I assumed the tables were reserved. After a while, they gave us the worst table in the restaurant—very uncomfortable and with a view of a small window into the kitchen. Every time a dish was ready, they turned on a light that blinded us. I also discovered that they don’t cook the pasta fresh; they use frozen pasta. When we finished dinner, the restaurant was even emptier than when we arrived, so the decision to seat us at that awful table wasn’t due to logistics or reservations. The only saving grace was the waitress who served us—she was lovely.

Delicious pizzas, and Kid's pasta meal deal. Table service (by Ella) was excellent and attentive, food took a little while to arrive but we weren't in a hurry so it wasn't an issue. We managed to get one of the last 'walk-in' tables on a busy Saturday lunchtime so its well worth booking your table ahead of your visit if you're coming for a show at the New Theatre.

I was really disappointed with my visit to Bella Italia. The food quality was low and the prices excessively high. While the small, dedicated team provided friendly service despite being understaffed, it wasn't enough to offset the lackluster dining experience. If you're Italian or you know what a good pizza is please do not order pizza here ... disastro culinario.
