Bella Sicily in Jedburgh is a fantastic find! From the delicious food to the brilliant service, it was a truly enjoyable dining experience.
We opted for the Guancia di Manzo (beef cheek) and Pizza Bella Sicily for our mains. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender, accompanied by perfectly seasoned vegetables - the tender stem broccoli had a lovely garlic and chilli kick to it. The pizza was a gorgeous combination of a flavourful sauce and a light, delicious base. We couldn't resist indulging in desserts, and both the white chocolate cheesecake and tiramisu were lovely .The cheesecake was subtly sweet and very moreish, while the tiramisu was rich and bursting with flavour. The staff at Bella Sicily were top-notch. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering excellent recommendations throughout the meal. She was a true asset to the restaurant! The barman was also super friendly and chatty, adding to the warm atmosphere. The front of house staff were welcoming and efficient, and a visit from the chef to check on our satisfaction was a lovely touch.
The atmosphere at Bella Sicily was lovely and friendly. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal with company.
I highly recommend Bella Sicily! The combination of delicious food, brilliant service, and a lovely atmosphere makes it a must-visit...
Read moreCame with a group of friends. Great atmosphere table was far small, very cramped. They couldn't serve us the food without decanting it & putting wine bottle on floor.. No elbow room.. Food was delicious no complaints.. I asked for 3 starters as a main obviously they were a little bit of each but they came in 3 seperate portions, the table couldn't give in space.. hence the decant to other plate.. better just on one big plate.. I had half a bottle of wine the 3 starters as a main meal.. one 'small' piece of cheesecake (normally comes on its own) I chose 1 scoop of choc ice cream that I think was scooped with a melon ball scoop! My bill was over £40. I'd expect being not in the city these prices for the size of the meal was rather excessive! Like I said food was delicious, portions small, inc pudding, wine good... table sizing needs addressed too.. My friends had pizza.. they were full. I can't eat bread or pasta plus I'm pescatarian so my choices very limited. Space it's crucial & if having starters as main with 2 requests please consider the pricing on...
Read moreAs a single tourist walk-in for lunch, I never know what to expect. The team in Bella Sicily put me on an okay table with a good view of the body of the Kirk, on a medium busy afternoon, so that was good. The restaurant is bright and clean, but with a real Italian character and the staff were attentive. As this was a quick lunch on the move, I ordered spaghetti vongole with a low alcohol beer. Both of which arrived promptly.
As my eyes were bigger than my belly, I ate too quickly, and I had a problem with food stuck in my throat. The team were helpful and sympathetic, at one point warming my food when I had spent some time recovering. This was a fantastic and attentive service and I thank the team.
I like the simple menu - this is clearly a crew that knows what works best for their customers and the chef to deliver the best food - certainly, the vongole were sweet and the spaghetti had a nice bite that was reminiscent of the Veneto.
I didn't manage a desert, but a hot, strong and sweet espresso set me on my way for the afternoon.
Definitely one to...
