Gelatistry in Shropshire

As this visit to la dolce vita was in November 2024 ! It was time to add this review to one of the best restaurants I visit Through out the years.. As this is very late to add and now the restaurant is shut for good, this is To pay homage to brilliant food here.. First off was the regular canapés of Cannelloni & Croustade.. They are always a pleasure to eat over the year's.. Next was this brilliant butternut Squash dish ! The look and flavours of this was something I never thought work together well ! But it surely did. Next was another Beautiful looking plate... Cured Sea Bream, Pear & N’duja!! I know N’duja can be hot, but the balance was spot-on with this ! Plus the Pear sorbet help calm the heat down as well.. Next was the juicy, fat, chunky piece of Halibut! Cooking on the Fish was exceptional, and with a lip licking sauce to go with it! Top marks of the cook on that.. Then the regular showing of the la dolce vita ravioli ! Always in some sort of different form ! But Always a blessing to eat. And another regular staple of the Frozen Foie & Sweetcorn!! When ever this has been on the menu, I've got to get in my belly.. And this was the very last timeki had this. Next was the duck dish!! Just something about the duck at la dolce vita! It's cooked to perfection and top Quality meat.. Then we move over to the sexy dessert section 😋.. Now I just live figs as I got 2 fig trees. And find it hard what to do with them! But la dolce vita finds a way to make them into brilliant desserts. As you can tell I enjoyed this.. Chocolate & blackberry! Yes both things that work ever so well!! And it was a great way to finish off that taster menu... Then tine to relax with a coffee and a very fine Selection of petit Fours... Yet again a brilliant experience of food...

Such a special restaurant. We've been going for 25 years. Fantastic food and ambience.

FABULOUS. Superb food, great service, lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, perfect for couples or a group.

We went to Bella Napoli to celebrate my cousin’s 40th and, as usual, had an enjoyable evening. The food here is very reasonably priced, and while the quality is generally good, there are a few things to keep in mind. If you're ordering a pasta dish, I'd recommend asking for it to be made creamy, as they can be a bit light-handed with the sauce. There was a bit of a hiccup with my cousin’s pizza—the Bella Italian came out looking underwhelming, with barely any mozzarella on it. Thankfully, the service was excellent; the staff replaced it quickly with a vegetarian pizza at no extra charge, which was much better. The rest of our meals were delicious. I had a pizza that was perfectly cooked with great flavor, and my wife had the mushroom tagliatelle. We shared both, and the tagliatelle especially was rich and tasty. We've been to Bella Napoli many times before and, despite the occasional minor flaw, we’ll definitely keep coming back. The great service and consistently enjoyable food keep us loyal.

Our server Jack was outstanding. Taking care of us especially our granddaughter, so much so that we ate at ask Italian the following day too! Food was lovely. All staff were polite, helpful and very professional. Paying very good attention to little ones and also one of our group with a nut allergy. Excellent. Would recommend and will go again next time we visit Shrewsbury.
