Bella Italia

In our experience the service is pretty snappy at the start, but then gets a bit slow after the food has arrived. Food itself is pretty good for a chain Italian, as is the decor. But some people just want a quick dinner! Less servers having a group conversation by the bar at busy times could help improve this!

Valentina was our waitress. She's beautiful, she made my birthday very special. We all got on with her so much if your going there? Do, it's great fun. please tell her we , I said hello. We live in Hackney so we made an effort to go there my 96 years young mother enjoyed her self. And she's very honest. And when you tip , tip cash. The server gets it. 🤗 your bill is fine Thanks Valentina. From Stew with the blue beard

The food is good but service leaves a lot to be desired. Came in as part of a large party(15) and drinks weren't served until after the starters had been served and eaten, and mains came out so slowly that by the time the last dish was out, half of us were already done eating. It seemed like the waitress had too much on her plate and that support from other staff was needed to deal with a group of our size on top of the other tables she was trying to deal with.

We went for breakfast this morning at this restaurant. I saw the advert for a £5 breakfast and we decided to drive all the way to this area as they have closed down quite a few. We weren't disappointed. I had the regular £5 one with poached eggs and my daughter had the larger one. We are fed up with F&B's breakfasts as the food has generally gone downhill. We made full use of the USB points cleverly placed at the table level, there are also plugs under the table to plug your kids' tablets or laptops to keep them occupied. We will definitely travel down again. Staff friendly. Decor is lovely.
