La Bonta

Very nice place for who loves autentic Italian food was all delicious and the attention from Zaida was perfect. Really recomend and we will be back for sure

This qualifies as a true hidden gem. Got here by accident looking for something good to eat around Stansted Airport. Quite closely situated I gave it a go and man was I impressed. Very friendly staff, polite and helpful. Menu is simple in line with what you would expect from a Hell's Kitchen fan 😉 but very tasty. I had the fish soup and it was very fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend for a business meal, family night out or just a casual night out.

La Bontá We’ve just eaten at La Bontá and were completely blown away. How is it possible that such an awesome restaurant is located in the middle of a housing estate Little Canfield. If this restaurant were in London it would have a Michelin star. The service is a model in how a restaurant should be run, Open the front door for you ✔ Smile and greet you with a warm welcome ✔ Offer you a choice of table ✔ Menu and introduction ✔ Prompt service and never once had to get the waitress’s attention ✔ Everything served promptly ✔ Drinks glasses chilled ✔ The waitresses wear white gloves to handle your cutlery and serve your food – when did you last see that? ✔ I could go on, but you get the idea. Now to the food. Simply and easily one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Yes ever. Chicory, Pear and Gorgonzola Salad in a Mustard dressing. How can something so seemingly simple, taste so good? Prawns on Guacamole – taste explosion 💥 Homemade Tortelli with smoked salmon served with butter lemon sauce & langoustine – So fresh, so tasty. Fillet Steak with Roast Potatoes and Creamy Truffled cabbage – no cabbage ever tasted this good. A very large piece of Steak cooked medium rare to perfection. Home-made Chocolate Truffles, butter cookies……just try it. All finished off with a traditional and complimentary Limoncello aperitif. Apparently, the Chef is named Paulo and he’s from Tuscany – how does he not have a Michelin Star? Exquisite.

It's a family business so all food made with special care and love! All ingredients are fresh and everything from pizza dough and sauces to desserts creams and chocolate are handmade !!! The range of wines are Italian and beautifully complimenting food! The Tortelloni with salmon that I have had are most tender and at the same time reach flavour, Italian traditional food expressed with new idea!!! Lovely family who runs the restaurant are very friendly, attentive and happy to give the best of their profession !!! Highly recommend to visit this place with very friendly atmosphere !!!!

Excellent food and fantastic service! We’ll be back 🫶🏽
