Bella Italia — Restaurant in Bukhara City

Possibly Bukhara's worst restaurant - not a chain, as the Google description inaccurately states. Upon entering we were greeted with a wall of cigarette smoke from the innumerable people smoking in the restaurant, (isn't this now illegal in Uzbekistan?), and groups of inebriated men shouting at most tables, who seemed to be the primary clientele; this stands to reason as it would take a considerable dulling of the senses to make this place even the slightest bit passable.

My partner's meal arrived, a sort of microwaved risotto mush reminiscent of my student cooking days, and then mine turned up forty minutes later. I can only imagine the delay was caused by the need to dispatch staff to a local supermarket with the instruction "bring back the worst frozen lasagna you can find", because that's what eventually turned up. There was no apology for the delay save for the look of shame the waiter bore from that point onwards.

Upon receiving the bill we were dismayed to discover that the music provided, a sort of mix of Russian euro-pop and party time at the nursing home numbers being slaughtered by a nameless assailant to a backing track, was included on the bill. That's right, we had to pay for the privilege of not being able to hear ourselves think.

This is Dolmio-esque, out the jar food for people who struggle to spell the word spaghetti, served up in a setting created by someone who once had someone describe a restaurant to them, but who had never actually set foot in one.

I came here on 2 separate nights. The first night was Eid-al-Aldha and it was crowded. The service was noticeably slow but they managed to push the food out. I ordered a chicken cream pasta, a sushi roll, a mushroom soup and a cold mint tea. Everything except the sushi roll was absolutely delicious. It was so good, I decided to give a second try the next night.

The next night was less crowded so the food came out quicker. I ordered the shrimp cream pasta with mushroom soup, mint iced tea, and honey cake. Again, everything was delicious but special mention to the honey cake. IT WAS SOOO GOOD, probably one of the best cakes I had in my life! On both nights, the service was excellent and the servers were professional. Definitely, the best restaurant in Bukhara, just don't order the...

This Pizza has nothing to do with an italian Pizza. The ham and mushrooms have been covered under Tons of cheese. By the way, regarding the menue i ordered Peperoni, mushroom. Nevermind. The dough had barely any Taste and was just half way cooked. Every italian Person would be shoked, that anybody calls this a Pizza. I doubt that anybody of the Restaurant has been to bella Italia and ate a good Pizza in the entire life. But in General the Restaurant is beautiful, so is the stuff. The spring roles, which are summer roles habe been good too. So go there for spring roles to eat summer roles but...
