After a difficult and very warm day La Bella was the perfect restorative!! Great food and drink served by the lovely staff and when we had trouble getting a taxi the chef came up trumps! So thank you, thank you and thank you - we will return when next in the area.
Our group of 8 Dutchmen visited La Bella. Our hostess gave us an overwhelming welcome. On top of that the food was more than excellent. Presentation and even more the tastes were amazing. You delivered us a wonderful evening in many ways.
First time at this place recently & whilst the food was lovely, there were too many check ups on how everything was. One dish came out incorrect, but the correct one was brought out quickly. Also, not everyone had finished their starters but one of the servers cleared the plates of those who had finished, rather than waiting until everyone had finished. These points are just minor & I'd like to add the staff were very welcoming & friendly, plus I'd return for another meal.
My friend and I had the most delicious meal last night. We'd previously been to La Bella soon after it had opened, it was good then, but last night the food was outstanding. The staff have obviously really found what works. Soon as we arrived, most tables were full - always a good sign. Was a challenge to choose from all the tasty options and this was also the reason why my friend and I ate way too much. There was a bit of a wait, but that gave us time to enjoy the restuarant atmosphere. We had: Caprése Squid Garlic bread with mozzarella Linguine Pancetta Linguine La Bella Biscoff and New York cheesecakes A bottle of Merlot Cider Every dish was exquisite. The caprése was sooooo good with the basil and balsamic, the pasta was al denté and all the FLAVOUR!! I was left with the zipper on my jeans undone to fit it all in... Actually, I'll eat less next time, but really, if you want to indulge, this is the perfect place to.
Ordered a collection here for the first time tonight. Food was ready quickly and still hot when we got home 15 minutes later. The mushroom starter is amazing! Excellent quality pizza and pasta and tasty calamari. Friendly service and good prices.
Had a great takeaway. Very friendly staff and the food was piping hot. The sea bass was amazing with great authentic flavours, as was the pasta. Thank you
We aren't local, but we were staying nearby for the weekend. The staff were so friendly and greeted us as we arrived. We didn't have a reservation, and we had a 18month with us. This wasn't a problem at all, and they made room for us. Not only was the service brilliant and welcoming, but the food was so tasty! My wife said the lasagne was the best she has ever had! My risotto was also absolutely delicious, so much flavour. We were looking for a tasty Italian, and this was exactly what we wanted. Thank you
Really enjoyed our visit to La Bella ???????? The staff were very friendly and attentive, we weren't kept waiting for long even on a busy evening. The food was great, especially the pistachio tiramisu The cocktail was also lovely and I was pleasantly surprised when we came to pay, would happily visit again!
