Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First visit to this restaurant, for (boozy) lunch with a friend. It was quiet, but we were quite late in the afternoon. The lunch deal was very reasonably priced. Food tasted fresh and was of a good quality. Our server was friendly and attentive. I’ll be returning to see things in full swing one evening and to be a bit more adventurous with the menu.

We were here for sunday lunch with my friends. I remember I was here once two years ago and it was completely different place more enjoyable. This time I had mixed feelings. On arrival we were greeted by the same waitress who served every tables at the restaurant, had 3 bigger groups that's quite overwhelming for one probably that's the reason we didn't get that much attention that I expected. Food is still as good as I remembered. We had some starters to share main courses and that sweet tiramisu. For me the biggest letdown was the decoration also the dull grey wallpaint with greasy spots on the walls. I'll wait possibly an other two years to return.

First time here, very impressed and will be back. Good service, lovely food, nice surroundings. We had the chicken milanese. The chicken was excellent and comes with spaghetti bolognese on the side. Great bloognese too, but quite a small portion which was my only criticism. It was only a side, but was too small a portion. The Tiramisu was huge, lovely, and is big enough for two!

A shame!!! I do not recommend this site to anyone. They send me this as garlic shrimp (attached photos) unpeeled, without garlic... Bathed in oil and raw!!!! I called to complain and the response from the man who answered me is that just today they came like this..... Ehhhh hello?? They always come like this, but they fight and things are done well or they are not done... I don't give the money away! Fatal... A real joke...

Went to La Bella Vita last Saturday and was extremely happy with both the food and the service. I had prawns to start and my wife had the mussels, both came with so much seafood that the dishes could have quite easily passed as main courses. The sauces on both dishes had a great body of flavour and the seafood tasted of a high quality. I had the seafood mixed grill for my main which came with chips, chimmichurri and a side of roasted vegetables. The fish flaked apart with ease and tasted like it was cooked in a delicious garlic butter. My wife and an octopus risotto which came with a generous portion of octopus and had perfectly Al dente rice and a creamy sauce. We were both absolutely stuffed at the end of the main so did not have a dessert. Service was fast, friendly and non-invasive. Prices were extremely reasonable compared to other Italian restaurants within the area. Will definitely be returning here.

We had dinner here for two on valentines night. The restaurant was packed and immaculate, the staff were attentive and the service was amazing. The food was very tasty and looked amazing, and the dessert was to die for, k had the tiramisu which was a very large portion and very filling. The price was very reasonable and we will certainly be eating here again. Amazing food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Go try this place, you will not be disappointed.

First off, terrible service. The female server/lady that was there during lunchtime when I went seemed to be bothered by my presence the moment I walked in (could be a race thing? Who knows... I'm not British nor I sound like one), and each time I asked her for clarification on things whether it was the menu deal or the discounts the restaurant offered, she seemed pissed off. Even at the end when I was about to pay and I asked a question about the price, I had to tell her not be upset because I was only double checking and she had the audacity to say that I don't need to be checking anything. Um, excuse me? She caught me in a good mood because that wouldn't have flown in any other instance. Perhaps she knows the menu upside down but I don't, I'm a first (and last) time customer and I don't know how things work there. Second, originally, I had gone in to have a 3 course lunch meal, but I changed my mind after I had the pasta carbonara I had ordered. It was basically spaghetti with heavy cream and some fatty chunks of the cheapest bacon you can imagine. There was no taste of any spice whatsoever, no nothing. I mean, I'm not a food expert in any way, but I know what the most basic unauthentic carbonara should taste and look like and that dish was half-assed at best. So, on both ends, my experience was bad and I do not recommend that place to anybody. If you want Italian food, try somewhere where people have less attitudes and know a tiny bit more about the food they're making.

1st time they brought me a different dish .
2nd time they brought me the dish with different ingredients than it was written in the menu. I told them , they ve tried to lie me until I showed them the menu. The attitude of the lady was unacceptable pushing the plate and saying “ok”. We used to eat there 2,3 times a month, and that s why we came today for a special ocasion and unfortunately it was really bad. We will never come again here.

Horrendous customer service. Both the front of house and manager were abrasive and confrontational. Please be careful if you have a Groupon voucher as there is absolutely nothing in the Fine Print about restrictions of use, however upon arrival told there were several restrictions, despite having called and spoken to someone about the voucher and subsequently booking through them over the phone. The manager stated she "didn't care" about the miscommunication on their part. If the restaurant would have been busy, there could have been a rationale for such resistance and rudeness however the restaurant was practically empty with one person asleep at the table they were sat at. I would avoid this at all cost. There is another lovely Italian restaurant just further down which great hospitality and delicious food. Go there and save yourself the headache.

Very impressed with this restaurant. Varied and in some respects unusual menu. We received excellent service and all enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. Not local for us but if in the area again would definitely eat here. Highly recommended.
