BELLA ITALIA MD — Restaurant in England

Updated review. Glad to see that the same high quality has been transferred to the now relocated restaurant in Cheshire Street. The new larger premises (where the old Town House used to be) are just perfect, with increased capacity and really stunning decor.....even the toilet has received a fantastic makeover. The service is top class, really friendly and attentive and the food is deliciously authentic. Definitely need to book though since is very popular.

Bella Italia Market Drayton. What a fantastic little authentic Italian restaurant and a great addition to Market Drayton's culinary offerings, complementing the already excellent nearby Foodshion (oriental) and Pickles (Indian). The fact that it is fairly small, 4 tables of 4 and a table for 6 gives it a really cosy and intimate vibe but with plenty of space between tables to afford privacy. The decor and lighting is quirky and has been really well thought out to provide a great experience for those seeking either a romantic atmosphere or somewhere different for a small celebration with family and friends. The background music was perfect. The menu is an Italian foodies' delight with a great range of beautifully prepared and presented pasta dishes along with a wide selection of meat dishes all at an excellent price. Thankfully not a pizza in sight! We were a party of 5 and shared the house antipasti (a large selection of cured meats, cheeses, olives and bruschetta) followed by various pasta dishes, Tiramisu or coffee all for less than £25 per head! They have a selection of soft drinks including zero alcohol beer, wine and fizz, or you can take your own alcohol. The service was top notch, attentive but not intrusive. This is definitely our new favourite local restaurant and will...

Since our first visit to Bella Italia me and my partner have been coming back more and more often! The food is excellent, and so far we haven't managed to find a dish we haven't enjoyed. The prawn starter especially for me is simple but delicious! The food is also very reasonably priced, and you can have a very enjoyable 3 course meal for £30 or less a head, while being full at the end of a lovely evening.

The service is also excellent. The gentleman who runs front of house is always very friendly and accommodating, and goes the extra mile to try and make each visit better than the last. Service is prompt and effective but never feels over bearing.

It is definitely our go to place to eat out, and I always take anyone visiting me here for dinner as it is a great restaurant that only Drayton has. It is a small place so you may need to book, but that does make for a very cosy and intimate atmosphere that I enjoy greatly.

It is also worth mentioning that they are not licensed, but are very accommodating of customers bringing their own alcohol.

There is no parking for the restaurant but the car park only a minutes walk away is free after 6pm so that...

A Christmas Feast to Remember!

Our Christmas party meal was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was warm and inviting, with twinkling lights and tasteful holiday decor setting the perfect tone for our celebration.

The staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly, making us feel truly welcome throughout the evening. Every detail, from the table settings to the personalized service, reflected their commitment to excellence.

And then came the food – a culinary masterpiece! The Christmas menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a delightful mix of traditional holiday favorites and innovative dishes. Each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The roast turkey was succulent, the sides were expertly seasoned, and the desserts – especially the decadent Christmas pudding – were a sweet finale that left everyone raving.

Whether you're planning a festive gathering, a romantic dinner, or simply craving an exceptional dining experience . Bella Italia is the place to be. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and wonderful memories – already looking forward to next year’s...
