Food ok, most of it frozen, fondant overcooked (microwave), service is great, elly the manager saved the day.

A lovely setting, a very good quality meal and above all a service provided by a very friendly waitress named Elly. I highly recommend!!!

A nice place with a good atmosphere but the most important was the warm welcoming from Elly! She was amazing!

Luke was great, food was amazing

Un accueil très chaleureux par Elly, tout son service a été réalisé avec bienveillance. Ses conseils ont été précieux pour notre choix des plats. Les différents plats choisis ont été très appréciés par les différents convives. Endroit à recommander

Bella Vita has been a favourite of mine for years and today didn’t disappoint- as it never does! The food is wonderful, the service is fantastic - attentive, friendly, helpful staff as always. The restaurant is fantastic, Broadway Market has an amazing vibe and I love the tables out front where you get to eat and drink lovely food and soak up the atmosphere of the market whilst being looked after so well.

I booked a large party reservation (18) for my birthday and had the best afternoon. The food was amazing (massive portions) and the service was excellent. Large resturant bookings can be such a faff but Bella Vita made the whole process seamless. It was my first time visiting, and I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for making my afternoon so special!

Sandy was a brilliant, attentive member of staff. Enjoyed our meals (extra big portions we couldn’t finish so taking home in take away box). Lovely meal!

We had a lovely meal. Great service. Loved people watching

Elly ( manager) Welcomed us AS ALWAYS with a smile. Everything we requested was effortless. Food and service was excellent. Highly recommend a visit. We have now been at least 6 times this year and it's always Great...

Ely, the manager was excellent, very attentive and good service. The food was tasty and of a high standard. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Best spaghetti ragu - yummm… service attentive and Elly the Manager has the best smile - thanks Bella Vita we enjoyed our visit - see you soon

Shout out to Elly, the manager. We went for lunch there and everything was amazing. I recommend it.

Great lunch menu and always fantastic service from the manager Elly, who is always very observant and attentive !

Love this place. Food is amazing (especially the risotto and the prawn starter!!). Staff are also very friendly. Thank you Ayo for your great service <3 can’t wait to come back again :)

Love this restaurant, food is amazing and the service is great (shout out to Ayo!). Big portions and 10/10 food - the risotto and seafood spaghetti is superb :)

Nous avons profité d’une pause déjeuner super agréable grâce à Elly la Manager du restaurant. Elle parle super bien français et était aux petits soins avec nous. Les plats étaient délicieux. Nous avons partagé une foccacia au fromage suivie de différentes sortes de pâtes. Un régal. On reviendra lors de notre prochain city trip. Merci Elly !

Ago was amazing and very friendly, food was delicious

Me alojé localmente y decidí probar este restaurante italiano. También fue nuestro 36 aniversario. Wow tan contento de que lo hicimos como la comida era increíble! Estuve en algunos restaurantes italianos a lo largo de los años y este fue por mucho el mejor hasta ahora. Tuvimos una camarera muy encantadora que nos sirve llamado Alina, ella era muy amable y nos dio una opción de pastas para tener. Una comida tan deliciosa, no quería terminar de comer tan sabrosa. Tenía un brownie de postre que era encantador y un montón de crema y helado para acompañarlo. Recomiendo encarecidamente que visite este restaurante, ya que no le decepcionará.

veryyychice food been going for many many years. drinks took a little bit of time despite being empty but the servers were very nice, and when there was an issue they were apologetic and quick to resolve it. Our server stefan was very nice and sweet. This is a classic go-to restaurant that I go to because I know I can rely on.

Mega delicious food and very friendly service staff. We felt very comfortable.

This was one of the best Italian experiences in London. The staff were amazing and attentive the food hit all the right spots from starter to dessert. The alcohol was great having a prosecco bottle. The atmosphere and decoration was fantastic would give 6 or 7 stars if i could.

The food was great. Carbonara is a must try. Our server Sandy was very sweet and amazing 😊

A bit noisy, but really good service

Wilf was so welcoming and knowledgable and made the experience so special. Nothing was too much trouble and I hope there are more Wilfs out there.

Extremely rude service – I had missing items from a Deliveroo order. As a loyal customer, I was disappointed to be told initially that I’d called the wrong restaurant. When I called back, a very rude woman with an Italian accent confirmed the order had been given to the driver, completely dismissed any responsibility, and abruptly hung up the phone. Avoid this place at all costs – appalling service.

We had a very nice evening with our 2 families. Stefan was extremely nice and caring and made it easy for us to enjoy a meal with 2 babies and 2 other children.

Amazing food and atmosphere! Sandy and Petno were great!

Sarah was great, great brunch too

The service was perfect! Ayo was nice and really accommodating, we’ll come back

Stefan gave the most amazing service. He was really kind and considerate and made sure we had everything we needed!

Great pizza and amazing service from Ayo
