Felice's Bella Roma — Restaurant in Wakefield

We had come on a whim to this restaurant and was greeted by what we believe to be the owner. Placed on a table and all was well. The starter sharing antipasti was lovely. The drinks order came wrong but thought nothing much of it. When the mains came my main had a hair within the ravioli, we presented it to the owner for him to take the plate with no apology I was left to eat the sides we had ordered with the main. By the point we had informed him off the hair no staff members came to our table, it was like we had been black marked from that point. When time to pay my partner has gone to the bar and the bill was still present my the main with the hair in. My partner asked if this could be removed only and he was faced with a barrage of comments to say we had planted the hair. Firstly myself and my partner are blonde haired and my hair and as a woman fully understand could have gone into the dish was tied up and is very long, both hair did not resemble short black hair, from that point instead of both parties just accepting it and us only not paying for the one dish he continued to state that the hair could of then come of anywhere and told us even our clothes. The hair was in the centre of the ravioli not on top. I’m afraid with that I would not go back and the attitude and how we were treated by the owner outweighs the good experience we had with the other waiting staff. Everything fine until something isn’t quite right and it can’t be his...

A cosy yet loud and lively Italian restaurant. The waiting staff are very friendly and the portion sizes are generous.

My fiance and I went for a date night and were sat at the back of the restaurant near the pass - which was good as it's always nice to see the chefs at work.

The menu consists mainly of typical family favourites and crowd pleasers, such as pizzas, lasagna, steak, etc. However, if you look a little closer you may find something a little more special.

For starters, we went for the Antipasto Misto, Polpette di Carne and the Zucchini Fritti - which were a great selection of flavours and textures, although the meatballs were not as hot as we would have liked.

For mains we went for the Capunti Calabrese and the Pennette al Forno. The Capunti Calabrese is a delicious handmade pasta dish whuch was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. However, the Pennette al Forno was considerably less refined and a stark contrast to the quality of the Capunti.

For wine, we went for the Chianti which was lovely.

I don't think we'd hurry back to Felice's Bella Roma for a date night, but would happily recommend it to others for family friendly meals and...

Gluten free and vegan food available, how good is that? And it tastes great!

So an early evening birthday meal with family booked in advance. Started with drinks and GF garlic bread - but it tasted like normal garlic bread. 3 different pizzas and a pasta dish to follow. Half the pasta had to go in a goody bag for later. But the GF pizza was one of the best I've tasted. I like pizza and have tried all sorts but this is my current favourite.

Service was fast and efficient by friendly staff and management.

Easy access through the main door. Not sure if wide enough for wheelchairs, I would need to check. There are 3 or 4 steps up to the main seating area, but there are at least 3/4 tables in the lower seating area. So if you can't manage the stairs you would be comfortable there.

I forgot to check where the toilets are, sorry, so can't comment on them, but they must be on the higher seating area at least.

So I will recommend this place, with the proviso that you check the access to the toilets first.

Generally though food was great, staff were friendly and efficient, the temperature was comfortable so I've given it 5 stars.

Great evening...
