Bella Italia - Leicester - Wigston — Restaurant in Oadby and Wigston

We ordered a takeaway here today as due to covid 19 we were missing our favourite restaurant. We had high Hope's as there was no discount on price so we managed a full £44 for two starters two mains and a side.

The food was nice although one of the mains contained a lot of things I dislike and was not mentioned in the menu so a bit disappointing. The rest of the food was nice and because we live nearby, the food was still warm. Unfortunately we expected better presentation, as the food was literally just slopped right into a small box.... not very professional, more like take out chicken for £2.50 quality packaging. Due to this the sauce in the pasta dish seeped into the cardboard box and made if very difficult to plate. Overall we were happy with the quality of the food however we think the price should definitely be dropped if it is going to be served in an amazon parcel... 3 stars not sure will order again, quite a...

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Seated in the foyer, cold and unwelcoming, as there was a childrens party going on and too noisy in the restaurant area - utter bedlam with screaming kids running around unsupervised. Couldn’t hear ourselves think let alone try to decide what to eat. Starters arrived without the ciabatta bread accompaniment. Had to ask at the bar for the bread and the waiter eventually brought it out and slung it on the table! The staff had a collective age of 22 so I guess it would have been difficult and uncomfortable for them to speak to the parents about their noisy offspring. Shocking service, food was meh and atmosphere was ‘couldn’t be arsed’. Would have had more enjoyment if I’d stayed at home and repeatedly poked a pen in my eye!! Gave up in the end and cancelled our mains - ended up at Two Steeples, Wigston where we had a lovely meal in a warm and...

When the waitress couldn't pronounce bruschetta, we understood straight away that the restaurant it's not actually Italian. Bruschetta base was half a "cob". They have no idea of how a bruschetta base looks like. Then we indulged in a pizza, which confirmed the same. Tasted very similar to frozen pizzas that you get from supermarkets (probably the base was actually from a tesco!). Plus soya sauce on pizza??! Veggies were not fresh either. Coke tasted like Coke. Maybe the glass was the only thing that reminded me of pizzerias in Italy. I saw a picture hanging on the wall of my former home city Verona though. For claiming to be an Italian restaurant, they got everything wrong, apart maybe from the gelato dessert, which had the right consistency and flavour. If even the gelato is not homemade, you know what to think about...
