Bella Italia was a nice restaurant, we were approached and seated quickly, wasn't too busy as expected on Wednesday evening. We ordered our drinks and they arrived promptly, after which we ordered starters and mains which came in a timely fashion. One issue that I noted after we had received our mains is there was no side order bought to us. 😞 I called a waitress and pointed this out, she quickly admitted she had forgotten it and set about getting it to us, very admirable, no problem there.

The food was pretty good, mushroom soup thing was really good (sorry, can't remember what is was actually called) pork meatballs were 'meh' but sauce was great. The macaroni cheese was lacking the cheese part, a considerable amount of pasta was just plain. There is no such thing as too much cheese. 😜

The atmosphere was mostly good, chilled, relaxed, it was someone's birthday so they got a birthday song and some gelato. That was really nice. Shortly before we left however, there was a young man that came in and did not wait to be seated by a host but walked to the bar and spoke to staff before being shown a table. Once he was seated and even before he was constantly talking on his phone and fidgeting without ordering, stumbling and swaying to the toilets and back. It was quite evident he was drunk or on drugs, this made it very uncomfortable for us as he was seated close by.

P.S. To the people reviewing, expecting good fries and/or burgers at an Italian restaurant - it's not Italian food genius's. 🙄
