Comida de cumpleaños - familia de cuatro. Primera visita - última visita. El servicio fue el peor que he experimentado. El marido pidió una copa; no se presentó, tuvo que pedir otra dos veces. Siguiente trago; lo mismo otra vez; se rindió y prescindió. La red salió sin dos lados. Camarero / gerente ? no podría haber estado menos interesado. No se molestó en quedarse de postre. £ 176 por un servicio absolutamente terrible. No te disculpes. No volvería. No recomendaría.

Hemos estado viniendo a este restaurante durante años, así que estábamos muy decepcionados por nuestra experiencia de anoche. A mi marido, que siempre pide la parrilla de cordero cocido para que siga siendo rosa, le sirvieron chuletas de cordero cortadas en su lugar, sin ninguna explicación. Cuando preguntó por qué, dijeron que era porque la parrilla de cordero tarda más en cocinarse, y como no pedimos un entrante, le habían dado esto en su lugar. Nunca hemos oído hablar de algo así - que nos sirvan un plato completamente diferente sin preguntar primero. Para cuando sacaron el estante de cordero, ya había terminado mi comida. Cuando llegó, estaba prácticamente crudo por dentro, así que tuvo que ser enviado de vuelta. Entonces, las partes eran otro problema. Los dos pedimos la misma ensalada de acompañamiento, pero mis maridos vinieron sin el aderezo, y cuando él señaló esto, lo trajeron de vuelta con el aderezo recién puesto, y estaba en toda la cuchara, ni siquiera mezclado adecuadamente. ¿Por qué los platos son tan inconsistentes incluso cuando ambos pedimos exactamente lo mismo? No es que deba ser una excusa, pero era un martes por la noche y no estaba particularmente ocupado. Lo que realmente empeoró las cosas fue el servicio. El camarero italiano fue grosero y defensivo cuando mi marido dijo que la experiencia había sido "basura. " En realidad llamó a mi marido irrespetuoso por decir eso. Mi marido acababa de exponer los hechos, y tenía todo el derecho a expresar su frustración en ese momento. Ser tratado de esa manera como clientes que pagan es completamente inaceptable. Siempre nos ha encantado venir aquí, pero esta experiencia realmente nos ha postergado. Es tan molesto que el cumpleaños de mi marido fue arruinado por un miembro del personal que claramente no sabe cómo manejar las preocupaciones de los clientes. Estamos decepcionados de haber tenido que descartar volver a uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos en el futuro.

We've been coming to this restaurant for years, so we were really disappointed by our experience last night. My husband, who always orders the lamb shank well-done, was served cut up lamb cutlets instead, without any explanation. When he asked why, they said it was because the lamb shank takes longer to cook, and since we didn't order a starter, they'd given him this instead. We've never heard of anything like that-being served a completely different dish without asking first. By the time they brought out the lamb shank, I had already finished my meal. When it came, it was practically raw inside, so it had to be sent back again. Then, the sides were another issue. We both ordered the same side salad but my husbands came without the dressing, and when he pointed this out, they brought it back with the dressing just slapped on, and it was all over the spoon, not even mixed properly. Why are the dishes so inconsistent even when we both ordered the exact same thing? Not that it should be an excuse but this was a Tuesday night and wasn't particularly busy. What really made things worse was the service. The Italian waiter was rude and defensive when my husband said the experience had been "rubbish." He actually called my husband disrespectful for saying that. My husband was just stating the facts, and he had every right to express his frustration at that point. To be treated that way as paying customers is completely unacceptable. We've always loved coming here, but this experience has really put us off. It's so upsetting that my husband's birthday was ruined by a staff member who clearly doesn't know how to handle customer concerns. We're disappointed that we've had to rule out ever returning to one of our favourite restaurants in the future.

Been here lots over the years, and as usual, the food and service was great, can't fault it. But, and it's a big but in this day and age. As, with their new restaurant up the road, they offer no alternatives to milk, for hot drinks. This is unforgivable, seen as though everywhere else does. Come on guys, go and buy a carton from th shop around the corner, it's not difficult.

Visité aquí con mi pareja y mi familia, éramos una fiesta de seis. La Bella Vita ha sido un alimento básico, ir al restaurante para mí y mi familia durante varios años. Sin embargo, he notado que hay ciertas cosas que se han ido deslizando en este establecimiento y no puedo poner mi dedo en la llaga, pero La Bella Vita simplemente no parece tener esa chispa que una vez lo hizo. El servicio fue golpeado y fallado. Al llegar nos quedamos esperando casi 10 minutos para sentarnos, incluso cuando no había nadie más allí esperando. Nos mostraron a nuestra mesa y luego nuestro camarero se apresuró a preguntar si queríamos alguna bebida y luego más tarde para tomar nuestros pedidos. Tengo que decir que esta fue probablemente la comida más decepcionante que he tenido aquí y no es agradable tener que escribir. Pedí los espaguetis con langostino real y salmón. El plato en sí era muy sabroso. Pero, fue una suerte - cálido y el tamaño de la porción que recibí para un plato de casi £ 17 era mediocre en el mejor de los casos. Mi padre pidió el risotto de pollo y por el precio que pagó, le sirvieron un plato frío y lo que parecía ser una porción infantil. En general, la experiencia gastronómica para todos nosotros fue que la comida es encantadora, pero nadie tenía un plato caliente y nos fuimos sabiendo muy bien que íbamos a cenar en casa. Si bien no era necesariamente un problema que ocurriera, no se ayudó a que hubiera lo que parecía ser una inundación emanando de los inodoros en la noche y casi todo el baño de hombres estaba fuera de acción y sin agua corriente o capacidad para lavar los inodoros. Muy triste escribir esta crítica, pero por el precio que pagamos por la comida en general, sin duda no nos apresuramos a volver en un futuro próximo. Podríamos haber gastado la mitad del dinero y recibir comida caliente de una de las muchas comidas para llevar en Garforth y habría valido mucho más la pena el dinero.

Came as a group of 7 for my grandma’s 86th birthday. My grandma went to order salmon however we were told the restaurant was out of stock. The waiter came back shortly after to say they’d managed to bring some in from their other restaurant nearby. All of us were very touched that the staff went out of their way to do this. Food was excellent and the waiters then surprised my grandma with a dessert for her birthday. A lovely and memorable night thanks to the staff :)

As someone who despises pasta and most Italian food, I can honestly say this is one of the best places I've eaten.

Great Italian on Garforth Main Street, this restaurant came hightly recommended to us by our new neighbours and I can see why. The restaurant was very busy on a Monday night but the service did not fault. We were taken straight to our table and served very quickly. We had the Garlic Bread and Calamari to share for starter and we both went for steaks for our main course. Everything was cooked beautifully and is fantastic value for money. Just short of £90 for 2 of us for starters, steaks, sides and drinks seemed very reasonable. We can't wait to go back!

Food was well below average , and was made of cheap ingredients. More worryingly the waiter with the big bald patch on the top of his head with slicked back hair trying to cover it, decided that we were obliged to pay a 18% tip! When i politely asked him to remove this ridiculous cost he became passive aggressive and started trying to argue with me that i was directly responsible for his salary. In which i said he should have some courage to ask his Boss for a respectable salary as opposed to arguing with paying customers in front of the whole restaurant! One of the worst restaurants in NYC in my opinion. Avoid at all costs!

We recently visited here with our 2 grandchildren, although busy it was not full. The food was hot and tasty no problem there, the problem is how long you have to wait to get served and then again for the food to arrive. This was well over 2 hours for a starter and main, and not once were we asked if everything was OK or would we like this or that, but when it came to the drinks that was a different matter, plenty of service there, trying to get you to have more drinks. They just need to improve on quality of service, customer service and manners, all of which don't cost anything but make for a good dining experience: which this unfortunately was not!

I love authentic Italian pizza, I've eaten it here many times, however, to my disappointment on this occasion that is not what I received, instead I got a very thick doughy more takeaway style pizza. When I brought this to the attention of one of the waiters I was rudely reminded that I was in Garforth not Italy and I shouldn't have voted brexit.(very strange). Anyway, if you order pasta and get served alphabet spaghetti don't be disappointed, remember it's Garforth not Italy. 😄

The service was poor in terms the waiters looked as though they did not want to be there and the food was served like slap bang there you go. Two of the meals had to be sent back as the pasta was cold.....no apology. To top it all when I asked for the bill the waiter first words the waiter said was there is not service charge would you like to give a tip and give me the bill......disgusting in my opinion.

Nice setting, will decorated place. Service is very good. And the place was recently featured in a list of great restaurants in Yorkshire. Unfortunately the food didn't stack up. The calamari I had was obviously from a frozen pack, it certainly wasn't freshly made on-site. I also ordered halibut, a nice chunk of it was served on asparagus, but the sauce was way over seasoned and spoilt the dish. I've been to the restaurant a few times, and the consistency of the meals seems to vary. Sometimes it's flawless, others not so good. Unfortunately my last visit was a not so good. Give it a try, if you drop on a great night you will not be disappointed, on a not so good night the food will be mediocre. It is a rather pricey place. £50 a head on average for starter, main and a drink.

This was our second visit for our company Christmas meal and was a delight. The calamari starter was cooked to perfection and I decided to go for a full pescatarian meal by trying the Salmone Allʼ Orientale with Asparagi Picanfi on the side. I rarely eat salmon outside the house because (although I’m no chef) I’m pretty good with steaks of any kind, but this dish was sublime. Really looking forward to taking my family for the first time on Mother’s Day and am confident they’ll enjoy it as much as I have in the past. (Pretty sure it’ll be salmon again too 😉) ¡Saluti!

Recommended by a friend, we came here for the first time. Parking is very easy. There is a car park next to the restaurant and there are plenty of spaces. The restaurant was lovely decorated and felt posh. We were actually very impressed with the menu - plenty of choices to choose from! The seafood grill was nicely presented and in good portion. However I did feel that the king prawns were a bit overcooked and tough otherwise a gorgerous dish. There were only two staff and restaurant was quite busy. The service was a bit slow especially we had kids with us. Another suggestion - some kids' acitivity pack/crayons would be good to keep kids occupied when waiting for food. We would be back again and we hope our next visit will be perfect!

We truly enjoyed our Thursday dinner at this very presentable restaurant! They accepted us as a walk in even though the restaurant was at a 70% capacity (on a Thursday night haha). At the table there was italian olives and marinated oil with bread sticks, all were delicious. For starters we had the sea food salad (very good portion for the price and all sea food options were delicious) and the soup of the day which was vegetable soup (fantastic flavor) which came with a couple of mini loaf breads. For mains we had the sea bass (it was literally melting in your mouth) and the halibut fish steak which oh my god was the best fish i've ever had. nice lemony-buttery flavor with delicious asparagus on the side and loads of sauce to dip your bread or chips in. Luscious! For dessert we had a tiramisu (very good and loved the glass as a presentation) and a cheesecake (not strawberry cheesecake, baked cheesecake!) Friendly staff without being annoying like other posh restaurants that waiters are creeping behind you. One more thing that we really appreciated about this restaurant is that tips were not included, not because we are cheap but, we always preffer to leave as a tip whatever amount of money we want rather than other restaurants that force you a 10-20% which is absurd.

This Italian restaurant offers you good quality food cooked to an excellent standard. We were a party of 11 but we did not have to wait an unreasonably long time before our food appeared. If you have a very hearty appetite you might be disappointed in the portion sizes. However, the quality is excellent so if you are worried then just order a side. I'm sure the portions would satisfy most people.

The atmosphere was cheerful as there were several birthday tables and everyone was having a good time. We will be going back to try again, thanks

The most beautiful restaurant with the most friendliest staff 🫶🏻 The food was so so so well priced for what it was, freshly made and so tasty. Me and my partner cannot wait to return🤍

This was my first visit here and had previously been recommended to visit. I found the restaurant itself a very warm and welcoming restaurant with a great atmosphere. I ordered the lobster ravioli which I found to be very reasonably priced. The waiter was very friendly and requested for the mushrooms to be removed from the sauce. A bit of a strange combination, but I ordered sweet potato fries on the side. The lobster ravioli was divine, al dente pasta in a beautiful sauce with some large succulent prawns. The only reason I marked down one star is because unfortunately the sweet potato fries were soggy. Will still happily revisit but will avoid reordering those.

I cannot praise the staff enough. It was a difficult family reunion for us and the staff were helpful, kind, and attentive to 3 generations of our family. The food was amazing, great atmosphere, fantastic service, did I say the service was good. 😂 Only slight negative comment, the music was quite loud but it was a busy and popular restaurant. I would highly recommend. Thank you. Xxx

Great place and a great service. Always enioy Sunday lunch there and the set menu is a great value for the price! The only thing I want to mention is that the music tends to be quite loud. If you want to have a small conversation over the table, sometimes you really need to shout. A bit distruptive for elderly customers especially. Stil highly reccomend the place!

Our party of 12 (eight adults, four kids) enjoyed the food and the ambiance but felt they were taking the mickey by applying a non mandatory "service charge" of over £40 to the bill. We halved it as we would have tipped £20 anyway but it struck us as a bit of sharp practice.

Lovely place lovely staff. Meatball and pate starter was gorgeous, pizza and lasagna was delicious but the steak on top of pate with red wine sauce was flat cold and arrived with the wrong chips. Offered 20% off the meal but that’s not the point when the meal was not enjoyed.

My favourite place to eat. The best Italian around. All the team are so friendly and helpful. Franco, Tan, Lucas and Ben. The gamberoni starter and the ribs are my fave starters. Pizzas and pasta are lovely and their steaks, fish dishes and lamb are to die for. Highly recommend. Thank you guys

Best beef ravioli! Work colleagues an I stumbled on this restaurant whilst on a work trip . The food , service and style of restaurant is excellent. The waiter recommended the beef ravioli and I believe it to be the best I have tasted . The over all experience was spot on and reasonably priced . Clearly a popular place as it was almost full on a Tuesday night ! If I am near Leeds on the future I will make an effort to visit again

My partner picked this restaurant for us to visit one of the nights! The restaurant looks beautiful! A nice and warm look to it and very elegant! There is a lot of choices on the menu but I went with my favourite…a pizza! We had some garlic bread for starters which was perfect! I really enjoyed my pizza but was a bit disappointed that the dough inside the crust was underdone. Nevertheless I still enjoyed it! And we did stay for dessert which was also lovely! Thank you for the experience!

October 26th 2023 We had booked a table and it took five minutes before anyone came to take us to the table. We ordered drinks and food. The portions were quite small but nicely cooked but when a couple in their forties came to a table three away from us and the woman got out a vape and when she was ordering pointed out what she wanted with the vape the waiter said nothing and she vaped and also filled it up at the table. I was going to celebrate my anniversary and did not want to spoil the evening BUT the waiters saw and did not do anything. That is the last time I will visit. Very disappointed that they did not point it out that she could not vape,
