Benvenuti - Belle House — Restaurant in Wychavon

Overall the experience was good but if I could give 3.8/5 I would.

The decor is lovely it reminds me of being Italy, a nice atmosphere and comfy chairs, the small montage of Italian pictures again takes me back to Italy.

The food is good not great overall which was disappointing as the venue is lovely, firstly the starters albeit all look very good there is just too many fish dishes, where is for example something meat based like ‘beef carpaccio’ the goats cheese appetiser wasn’t great a bit like something from a Supermarket, the scallops are £15.00 and unfortunately way off the mark, scollops aren’t too hard to get wrong but the sauce just dosent work and we’re a little chewy.

The seafood bisque was nice but again the shellfish was bordering on rubbery (Cooked too long) the soup sauce was lovely, the tiramisu dessert thankfully was lovely and creamy

My wife’s capre starter was average but not much you can do here, lamb shank was nice and soft but not blown away by any means (but good) her dessert pannacota was very nice.

Cocktails were nice and coffees.

The waiting staff were very nice but there were huge gaps between taking plates and bringing menus etc, for a small place it’s poor albeit they were busy, we spent 3 hours there when really it should of been 2, there weee times when there were no staff present and multiple tables waiting on service. The one young girl didn’t know what a ‘draught’ beer was, not her fault but down to training. The service really has to improve and the quality of some dishes need to step up to really be considered a higher end restaurant.

For £125 for 2 I...

I've been a few times before. Didn't notice that they dim the lighting in the restaurant. I couldn't see the menu, especially for someone who wears glasses. The text is very small. I asked the reason for the dim lighting and was told for the ambience.

I had the Gamberoni Picante (Pan fried king prawns with tomato sauce, white wine, chilli & garlic served with homemade bread)my partner had Fegato Di Agnello (Lamb liver cooked in red wine sauce, veal jus,with baby shallots and fresh herbs served with homemade breads).

The food and service is very good. I had Bistecca Di Manzo sirloin 🥩 steak with peppercorn sauce. My partner had Filleto Di Manzo Prime fillet steak, 8oz, served with tournedos rossini sauce & bread (Masala wine, demi-glace and Lamb pâté), both came with saute potatoes and vegetables. My partner had a glass of red 🍷 wine and I had a Pinot Grigio, Rose spritzer.

The waiter explained how best to cook both of the steaks, very useful information.

For dessert we both had profiteroles (Pastry balls filled with whipped cream, served with a drizzle of chocolate sauce).

We've had this before. Very disappointed with the dessert this time. The profiteroles were covered in a thick layer of chocolate sauce. It defeated the whole point of having the profiteroles. We both scrapped the chocolate of the profiteroles. Please go back to a decoration of chocolate with a small portion of ice cream.

Apart from that the food and service is...

Reccomended to me, I'm a stranger to Pershore. With my team we were working at Number 8 Theatre all day and I booked a table for 8 persons to take them to a "thank you" dinner. We arrived 7.45 pm and left around 10.00 pm. A very friendly waiter served us drinks on arrival and furnished us with menu's. The food was very good although the service seemed to deteriorate quite quickly. At the end of our starters, what seemed a busy sitting on our arrival appeared to empty quite quickly. At the end of our main course we seemed to be the only table, the waiting staff came for desert orders and clearly wanted us finished . When I ordered coffee after my dessert the waiter with the beard proved to be particularly rude and then along with two waitresses stood glaring at us , arms folded etc so much so that some of our table members felt quite intimidated. Even with this appaling attitude I still gave a tip, a pleasant start with good food totally spoilt by bad manners and...
