Excellent food and service! Would recommend this restaurant to all my friends

As always the food was lovely along with the usual courteous service.

Enjoyed our meal from top to finish: antipasto misto di pesce, lamb shank, topped by a fantastic tiramisu. Friendly staff, true Italians. Great dining experience overall. We are just wondering why it took us this long to dine here.

First visit, will definitely go back , food was excellent

We booked a table for Father’s Day. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious. Even the teenager agreed!

Brilliant, relaxed venue for lunch time meeting with friends. Great food and price. Very good service, friendly and no pressure about speed etc. Will meet there again

Excellent food reasonably priced friendly atmosphere good service our 5th visit and each time as good as the first would definitely recommend a visit .

Lovely fresh cooked tasty Italian food as always. Friendly staff and great service on a busy night in the restaurant . We had a very enjoyable evening.

The mamager and all staff were very friendly and polite and the food came oit extremely quickly and was very good quality. The atmosphere was very good and the overall experience was excellent.

Had a really great meal last night. Food was delicious, service was good, and the atmosphere was lively. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, we've eaten there dozens of times, and never been disappointed.

Beautiful Building and décor. Lovely food and excellent service nothing too much trouble. Booked the table on line for 8 people nice and straight forward. Will definitely visit again.

It was very easy to book online with a prompt confirmation. Welcomed by Owner/manager who was very helpful. The menu was varied but not overwhelming and offered a choice of meats seafood and vegetarian options. the decor was interesting but helped by highish ceilings on a very warm and humid evening. The meal was very good and service prompt and discreet. Will visit again when next in the area for a break.

Excellent food and great atmosphere. Food cooked well and wine was very good. Unfortunately we felt the service was little slow as only one person taking orders and serving the food.

Lovely restaurant, atmosphere great and personal service. We had a child with us, food was delicious and proper Italian food. Service was prompt had 2 courses served within the hour.

Excellent Italian food which looks and tastes good too. Surroundings have pleasant ambience and service is unfussy and we were looked after. Whole experience could not be faulted.

Parking was easy, we were met as we entered and offered a table. Menus easy to comprehend, staff attentive and food excellent. Nothing more to add.

Another great meal enjoyed at Bella Vita! The food here is fantastic, it’s a lovely restaurant and the staff are great! Highly recommend eating here, you won’t be disappointed!

Very nice restaurant, with really good atmosphere. The whole experience was much better than our expectations. Good food, reasonably priced. Will definitely go back again.

Superb meal, lots of choice on the menu, service excellent, excellent presentation and decent quantities! Have been several times and it never fails to disappoint.

Good food, attentive staff and great atmosphere. Food very tasty and lots to choose from. Reasonable price and close to where we live so easy to get to. Good local restaurant.

Tasty food and a lovely atmosphere for a 'chatty' all girls lunch. I have also visited in the evening with my husband and we will certainly be coming again. I love pasta, my husband prefers steaks, my sister-in law loves fish - here they cater for all tastes.

Acceptable, but nothing more. Parts of restaurant decor tired. Service and food good. Unfortunately we attended on a very slow night , count the costumers on one hand, so minimal ambiance. Will try again.

The food was wonderful and the waiter was great nothing was too much trouble. I look forward to a return visit and taking family with us.

Excellent food as always. One small thing marred our lunch. We ordered a bottle of red and I asked for the Sicilian which was first on the wine list priced at £15.75 which we thought was very reasonable. When we received the bill we were charged £22.+. I suppose I wasn't exact enough in my ordering but we thought the waiter might have queried which Sicilian wine we wanted. Just a very small thing but it didn't sit well with the four of us!

We found the Staff very friendly and helpful. The surroundings were nice, clean and well presented. We found the Menu slightly limited. A Specials board might have helped overcome this.

A good fillet steak and pasta dish, we will visit again. The wine was very good value too, we had an Italian white which was only £16 I think.

Took my wife here for a meal. Great food in a lovely environment! Probably the best pizza in the area and more to offer on the menu!

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff and risotto was delicious! Food was served very quickly. Will definitely be going back, and I would recommend to friends

Fantastic food and reasonably priced, only quarm I had was that they added a 10% service charge on top of the bill which I wouldn’t expect in the UK. Music would have been nice too but all in all a string 9/10

Food was lovely but the atmosphere was a bit lacking and the service, whilst friendly, was quite slow and transactional. Lighting in places was a bit harsh and if you were sitting in the wrong spot you could have a spotlight shining right on you which isn’t that relaxing.

Great fresh food, which was reasonably priced and with plenty of choice. Service was friendly, professional and not rushed in a nice restaurant and would return again.

My 2nd visit to Bella vita and the food was delicious hot and tasty. Good service. Lovely decor and friendly staff. Although not very busy a very nice and comfortable atmosphere.

Lovely food but unfortunately the restaurant was sooo cold. We did ask to move by a radiator but there was no heating to sit next to. (This wasn't due to restaurant being full as there were only 2 other tables occupied). Unfortunately this did spoil the evening as it was for a special occasion.

Excellent, friendly service, very good food and very easy parking. A good range of vegetarian choices also very welcome. Quiet, roomy and enjoyable ambience. Really, I have no complaints.

Lovely place, good atmosphere, well priced. Attentive staff and great food. Always enjoy coming here and made to feel welcome. Great for a quick lunch or evening meal

A lovely restaurant where the food is divine. I asked to alter my starter slightly, the waitress took her time to explain the menu, nothing was too much trouble. I had Bruschetta, the Lamb Shank and The Banoffee Pie, it was all gorgeous! I’ve been there a number of times and will certainly be going back.

Excellent food and service, would highly recommend, went there for our Christmas party and enjoyed the food, so we went back to sample the Italian menu

Lovely pizzas really tasty great flavours. Nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly service. Value for money excellent will definitely pay another visit in the near future.
