I was persuaded to visit my local Bella Italia on the strength of a 40% off voucher last night. It was my first visit and will certainly be my last. Even with a 90% reduction it would still have been a total rip off.
The garlic dough bread was off so we were given a substitute which consisted of a dozen slices of toasted french stick with a table spoon of garlic oil, for this they charge £5.98. Then came my lasagne, it had been placed in the oven unevenly so it had half an inch of bechamel sauce at one end and an inch uncovered burnt meat at the other, there was no hint of pasta. My wifes pizza was just as disappointing, the base was made of, well I'm not sure if it was old leather or thick blotting paper, but it was virtually inedible.
On the whole I would rate Bella Italia as the worst eating experience ever.
Please do not even attempt to feed this pap to an Italian.
