Bella Vita in Newark and Sherwood

Two words Wow Factor I took my fiancee for a surprise meal, as we were being led to our table by this funny, engaging woman her name was alina and right from the start she made us feel like family. Congratulating us on our anniversary. I ordered the fillet steak wrapped in parma ham in mushroom sauce alina said I would love it and I wasn't disappointed It was cooked to perfection I asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got the sauce wasn't over powering. I'll be honest we were made to feel like family and alina was funny and so warm. If I could give this restaurant more stars I would and I'd highly recommend this picture perfect place. We are going to make this our regular spot thank you so much for having us.

I went in with my fiancé and was greeted by staff and seated in a nice corner to make our meal intimate. I enjoyed this. The staff looked professional, especially the small one with her tie. We couldn't choose from the menu so asked the staff for preferences. Our server advised something from the special menu. My partner choses the fillet steak in a pepper corn sauce, I ordered the fillet steak with pasta. It had prawns and was in a tomato sauce. Omg it was devine. Our server kept coming up to us asking how we are doing, if we wanted drinks when she saw our glasses were empty. She was friendly and my partner did her usual thing and made her laugh which I thought was nice as she felt like family which was noce5

Enjoyed it, good service and tasty food

Absolutely delicious, couldn't fault any thing, the chefs certainly knows how to cook fish, DELICIOUS

First time here with our friend, food was amazing , service was amazing too, area by far, would definitely recommend Bella Vita.

Must have been at least 20 times! Never a bad meal and friendly staff! Prices are average but hey, we keep going back coz of the great food! Allergen friendly too!

The food is excellent as was the service BUT the ladies toilet was DISGUSTING, the floor wash covered in water, some toilet seats were loose, the sinks were dirty and generally a health hazard, you would not want your guests to use them.

Food always good here. Lady who was on service gave the impression of not wanting to be there. The place is looking tired needing some painting and a touch up. Will always come back as the food is great but hopefully some improvements elsewhere.

This was our 3rd visit and has been just as good as the previous 2. We both had fillet steak in parma ham with a Dolcelatte sauce which was one of the evenings specials. Absolutely excellent, the extra sauce was enjoyed on the lovely al dente vegetables that we have enjoyed each time we have visited. At each visited we have been warmly greeted by the friendly team here who provide excellent attentive service and look forward to our next visit.

This authentic Italian masterpiece is hidden in the center of old Ollerton in a quiet location with car parking. Nice warm welcome from Andrea, front of house, great menu and excellent food. Nice homely atmosphere with plenty of willing staff. Wonderful soup and bruschetta for starters, pollo fettuccine and pollo cacciatore. Decent wine list, Peroni on draught. Overall pleasant experience and would recommend. Booking recommended.

Excellent food great servce enjoyed very much will be returning very soon also caint wait for our family Christmas party already booked

A nice and cosy place with great authentic Italian food.

Went yesterday for the first time in a few years. Traveled from quite far out too. The atmosphere had really gone down hill and playing the most obnoxious birthday music really killed the vibe. Took over half an hour to have our drinks order even though we booked in advance to then not have the wine we wanted, took another half hour for them to take out food order. Bought out the starters and one of them was wrong, when we said this the lady came over and said we'd ordered something different (definitely didn't) and what my partner ordered they didn't even have. Most of the servers did not look old enough to even be working there in the first place. Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant.

Delicious Italian dishes, very nice service. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Really enjoyed it food delicious 😋 staff friendly & helpful nice atmosphere will be returning 😀

The food is amazing! I enjoyed it! I definitely recommend!!!

Superb food, great value and friendly staff

The best✌️💪😘🙏 ,so kindly the delivery guy,tell my husband about next delivery if we order we will have 10%off ..so nice.and the food very good and so fresh everything

Nice food, tasted good and still hot

We didn't eat here but we will on our next visit to the area, but we enjoyed a couple of beers by the river, nice setting

Lovely food , well priced . Good atmosphere , great to sit by the river. Service a little bit slow but doesn't detract from the dining experience

Well where do I start , the restaurant is very tired . The food was ok but the service was so poor . Faulty Towers comes to mind . The young waiters and waitresses had not been trained at all . It worked out at £50 per head and I would not recommend The staff did not know what they were serving and the tiramisu was bought in . Appalling for an Italian restaurant

the pizza was tasteless. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this shop nor will I be ordering again from here.

Very nice owner and delivery but really didn't enjoy the pizza or the meat in the kofte kebab. At nearly £18 per pizza I expect homemade meatballs or ones that taste of good quality. Couldnt eat the pizzas and the base wasn't freshly prepped. Never a

Really sad looking food that tastes as good as it looks. A picture paints a thousand words and after seeing our food two words came to mind: “Oh dear”. To have to wait thirty minutes for a starter like this fills someone with exceptional disappointment- a clear indicator of the quality of the mains to come. As such, we cancelled the remainder of our order. All in all a meal not worth waiting for.

Food was generally good, but the interior decor could do with some modernisation. There are tables outside next to the river, and this is lovely.

Lovely food. Great service from Ali and a young girl, sorry forgot her name. That’s all I want to say but trip advisor wants 100 characters

Beautiful place to be on a warm summers evening, beautiful view next to the river. Highly recommend. Lovely bar man Ali who served us, and made our experience very warming and offered an outstanding service. Thank you

Lovely afternoon with a real authentic Italian - we love this place - close to our holiday cottages Mill cottage and Savile house - many of our guests come to taste a true Italian! Ali our waiter was wonderful - thank you - we will be back!!!

This is not Italian food, don’t waste your money,! Poor quality products, really poor pizza, worst pizza on shields road. The only thing ‘Italian’ is the flag on the signage! Very disappointed ☹️

Nice location by the water, ordered food that took an age… still waiting! Gets very busy when the suns out. However, when the food did turn up it was very nice. Service is below par!

Delicious food, and good service. Lovely location.

In my opinion, the best pizza's around here.

Food very tasty, delivery was very quickly, they even surprised our sons with sweets and juice ❤️ totally recommend this place, obviously I'll order again

Brilliant fantastic food and service. Always makes us welcome. They have a good understand of allergies and accommodate different foods. This is the reason why we have returned again and again. Thank you

Fantastic food! Absolutly delicious! The best food we had! Service was great and all the food was fresh! Location looked really nice and cosy.

Just back from a lovely birthday meal xx not been before but would go again x lovely staff , lovely food xxx

It's a great spot to eat good food and take in the views by the river.

We have been to Bella Vita a few times and always have a lovely meal. We usually go for dinner but this time was for lunch . Food was great, authentic Italian, along with great service.

By far one of the best takeaways we order from. ordered two calzones with bolognese sauce and could have eaten it again the next day it was that good. highly recommended.

Once again this restaurant has successfully satisfied us.

Food was tasty, piping hot and delivered early!! What more can you ask 👍

A lovely meal with attentive staff. My wife and I had two differing but equally delicious chicken meals. Nice presentation, tasty.

Service was great, albeit slightly overbearing with a continuous ask whether we were okay every 5 minutes. But the actual meal was extremely disappointing. For the absurd amount of money spent on basic 'Italian meals', i.e., spaghetti bolognaise, homemade garlic bread, or even a pasta carbonara, I'd expect to be wowed for restaurant quality. Yet I could have prepared the same meals for under £8 at home and been happier. However, if you're going in for the chef special of fish on a stick, I suppose you get your moneys worth. Overall, I won't be returning as the price doesn't justify the cost / quality of the meal, but I'm glad to have tried.

Been coming here for a number of years and everything stays at the same high standard.. The chef is accommodating. Staff always attentive. A pleasure to be there.

Food was early, very fresh and hot and the best ive had from here! Spot on guys 👍

Ordered food was delivered somewhere else had to ring up driver argued with me that it’d been delivered then resent order which turned up about a hour later and was cold used Bella for a good few months normally really nice but this was by far worst food I’ve ever had from them

Great kebab, great pizza and free garlic bread

Only takeaway place we order from. Kebab meat is amazing. And the chilli sauce is another level. Beautiful

Like the food , will order again

Postcode entered was no where near location of this pizza place. Food was not collected. Severely disappointed with the website and loss of funds.

Food really nice and delivered on time as always. Only downside is the large chicken kebab and chips only came with about 5 small pieces of chicken which is why I only put 4 starts instead of 5. If there was a bit more chicken it would have been 5 stars but I’ll still be ordering from here in the future as the taste is delicious

A great little spot for some food, had a really good steak and starter. They’ve always got a nice pint of Peroni too! Looking forward to the sun coming out to go and sit by the river too!

absolutely delicious pizza, best takeout place ever x

Food was outstanding, and the service was supurb.

Wonderful food and amazing service.

Excellent food , service will definetly eat here again

Fully Recommend this restaurant. We've been coming every Saturday evening for over two months now and we both still loving each meal. This is the Fish Special 🐟

Had a lovely relaxing evening tonight with my wife here. Dined here before and remembered it well. A super restaurant!

Great food, friendly delivery driver

Very good restaurant with friendly stuff and lovely food…nice atmosphere,Wonderful meal ,Service brill, Food out of this world. Really nice, We definitely back

I've been to many Italian restaurants. Often food is average and usual menu. However, you can normally depend on great atmosphere, service and welcome and enjoyable experience. This place was the opposite. I had to check that it is owned by an Italian, although he was not visible. Poor service, dead atmosphere, depressing, in fact, and very poor food.

2nd time at Bella Vita.. Wonderful meal for 5 both times. Service brill, Food out of this world. Really nice, we had 2 seafood platters, kids had pizza, which was also delicious! Beer garden has a lovely stream at back, great for a paddle on a hot day!

We enjoyed a beautiful meal here this evening, friendly and attentive staff, highly recommended. Thank you very much

not proper chicken used overcharged

Ordered for collection. Food was done early, very fresh and hot. Really polite staff.

Unbelievably good Italian food. A few new serving staff but no issues at all, we even went back a second night!

We went for Wednesday lunch and had a two course meal off their special menu and was served by the excellent Ali who really looked after us so well! The food was so good & delicious at such a reasonable price we will be back 🙏

Service was horrible, took 30 minutes for someone to take our drinks orders while other people were served right away, the main guy also seemed very angry the whole time. Food was awful, carbonara was more bacon than pasta which made it really salty, pizza was okay but there was so much sauce that you cant taste anything other than the sauce.

We went to Bella Vita for Mothers Day. It was my daughters suggestion as she had been before and said the food and service were good. The food and service were very good indeed. The food was quite simply delicious. I had 2 x starters, a main and a pudding. It was that nice. Highly recommended! The service was also how it should be, attentive, friendly, and welcoming. I'm definitely going again! I absolutely could not fault the place. Well done, Bella Vita!

Food was great,service was quick and the atmosphere was cozy

This is probably one of the worst Italians I’ve ever been to I ordered a starter and a pasta carbonara from my main, I never got my starter and the mains came down the food tasted very weird. I took two bites and I got up and I walked away. I come here with my wife to have a nice meal. The services is very bad the people walk past you like you don’t even exist very bad I don’t know how this place have a 4 1/2 star rating

First visit. Amazing food good attentive service

Great to have La Vita Mia in Newark , very tastefully decorated and very friendly / attentive staff . Looking forward to visit in the evening very soon !! 😀

Party of 12, good food, good service, helpful staff, good atmosphere, not rushed at all, all enjoyed it . Staff took pics for us and we're pleasant ghroughout. Will defo return

Retirement meal for 12, good food, good service, staff attentive, not rushed, good atmosphere, will defo return

What a fantastic place, we were a party of 8 and we were made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, the food was absolutely gorgeous, service was brilliant, well worth a visit.

Food good and on time happy days

Lovely restaurant, which was open on a Sunday evening. Extensive menu, wide range of choices. Excellent sized portions & reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Didn’t have to wait too long for each course.

My burger had salad on it was covered in it and I’m allergic to mushrooms!!!!!

Beautiful little restaurant with a nice theme, great food with a fair price. The staff were very nice and friendly. Had the pleasure of meeting the chef after he'd prepped a fresh "off the menu" meal for myself that was soo tasty! Already booked again in a few weeks

Just called to try new lunch menu It includes pizza, lasagna ,chicken dishes and my favourite sea bass which was delicious cooked fresh by chef Sal. £8.95 for any of of the above it is excellent value for money. I lunch here twice a week and the food and service I are spot on. Treat yourself and try it , i am sure you will not be disappointed.

It is a very friendly place to visit. The menu is varied and offers a good selection of good quality Italian dishes. I have tried a selection of different meals over the visits here and have enjoyed them all. The menu offers something for all ages.

Very cozy tasty Italian restaurant. I recommend to everyone ! 😀 We will definitely come back to you! 😍

Was left waiting for an hour without anyone even taking our order. I understand valentines can be busy but all you have to do is at least take our order. We'd be happy to wait for the food itself but an hour to just be seen is poor service. Very unhappy. Usually a great place with great food but a terrible experience on what should have been a lovley evening.

Was sat for an hour, nobody took our order or took any interest in our being there. Really poor service. Thankfully my partner and I laughed about it and just walked out and saw it as a free glass of coke for the evening but on Valentines day it really isn't a very good evening. I'd suggest being more attentive to your customers and the order they arrived also. Had to watch everyone that came after us be served and we just weren't waiting any longer.

Great place great service lovely food

Great food nice and hot thanks for the freebie 🙂

Visited with friends for a meal recently two of us had the steak which for me was the best steak I've ever had! Beautiful fillet cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth, with a stunning sauce. The third dish of the party was the fish special, a wonderful variety of perfectly cooked fish, likened to the magic porridge pot, the fish just kept coming! Compliments to the chef Edoardo, we will be back!

came here on Saturday evening table booked for 7.30pm i was so surprised to see how busy the restaurant was which is a good sign, i have eaten here before but not for a long time. although we did have a wait for our table, it was worth it, once seated the food came out quickly and was really good, 4 of us all enjoyed 4 different main courses very nice. my husband had tournados rossini he said the fillet and suace was good only complaint the bread was very thick. it seemed that there were only 2 staff working but they were really friendly had still had time to chat to us, thankyou we had a lovely evening.

Bella pizza is by far the best takeaway around, the staff are so kind and the food is delicious! Very good prices too!

Order said delivered but it clearly wasn’t delivered . When chased order changed to 40 mins later. Even on a busy night this isn’t good enough

Been coming to Bella vita since day one. The staff are always so friendly and make you feel welcome. The owner never fails to come out and ensure everyone has enjoyed the food. The different weekly special are mouth watering.. I had the fillet special and my wife had the seafood risotto. They all go beyond to make your evening is so special. Keep up the good work Bella vita

Chicken bites for £7.90 were tiny all together no bigger than quarter of a chicken brst. Advertised as salad and sauce but arrived with plain chips. Battery dark brown. Everything else average

Pizzas were spot on, and the fries were the best I've had from a takeaway in Mexborough. Food was 10 minutes early, and drver very friendly. Will def order again.

We visited here for a meal Monday evening. The decor was very inkeeping with the theme of Italy and it was warm and inviting. I ordered the antipasto for one and was incredibly shocked to see all the olives were moudly on the inside. The cucumber was also hard and dry like it had been sat a while. This was taken away with apologies and with the promise of a new antipasto. At this point though I did not want another and ordered a different starter instead. My husband wanted to leave immediately but I stayed in the hopes it was a one off. The manager was apologetic and kept returning to the table throughout our meal to say sorry and to check in. My husband had the fillet steak for main and I had the tortellini - both meals were nice. We do not like complaining but there was no compensation for this (quite large) faux pas. Even a free soft drink would have been nice but there was none of this. Unsurprisingly I would not be returning and this experience raises quite a few questions for us in respect of food hygiene and storage. I score a 2 because the mains we did have were nice.

Fantastic calzone, great people. Thankyou so much 😊

Honestly, the best Italian I've visited in years. Absolutely incredible food, the carbonara particularly was stand out. And the service was so friendly and familiar. We turned up quite late and still the customer service was exceptional. Highly recommended.

amazing food as ever, lovely staff, top class restaurant x

Perfect as usual! Only takeaway we order from!
