The staff did seem to change a lot but they were always attentive. However recently since it changed to Bella Italia I noticed a big change. The staff were very slow and didn't bother with you and I didn't get the same feel of being in a traditional Italian style ... more

I used to visit Bella pasta quite frequently a few years ago and I always found it to be really good, the food was fresh and plentiful and the desserts like the godfather were amazing. I remember ordering a Godfather to share, which came in a huge glass ice cream dish, it was filled with warm gooey chocolate browny with chocolate pieces and ice cream with chocolate sauce and topped off with sparklers- It was incredible, but really a meal on it's own. The staff did seem to change a lot but they were always attentive. However recently since it changed to Bella Italia I noticed a big change. The staff were very slow and didn't bother with you and I didn't ...  Read the complete review

I love to eat out and am always trying new places and returning to places I have eaten and enjoyed. You’ve guessed it, Bella Italia (previously Bella Pasta) was one of those places, so could it live up to my first visit. When I first went here the restaurant seemed to be very big on pasta dishes and didn’t really sell much else. This was good though because there was a huge variety of dishes and so much choice that it was a great menu. They have changed their interior now a well so it’s a whole new dining experience. I am reviewing the Manchester Piccadilly restaurant here. I was going out for a friends birthday and so we all decided to go here because I did ...  Read the complete review

I’d seen Bella Pasta restaurants, in just about every city I’ve been in there seems to be one somewhere, but hadn’t ventured in until I finally visited the branch in Leicester Square, in the hurly burly of central London. There are many throughout the UK – 64 in total at the moment. Not many in Scotland (only 6) and Wales (only 1 – in Cardiff). I love Italian food, so Bella Pasta was a natural choice for me, but I’ve tired of the Pizza Huts of this world, so wasn’t sure how it would be. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised. Good choice of pasta – from around the £7 mark, for the linguini with rocket pesto, or if your after a really cheap meal ...  Read the complete review

Bella Pasta have a chain of restaurants across the country, 63 at the last count and still growing! They would fall into the same category as Pizza Hut and Pizza Express with regards to prices, they aren't exactly cheap but won't break the bank either. Me and my partner have visited the Bath chain on a couple of occasions and have enjoyed our meals there immensely. Being a chain restaurant, I wouldn't be able to say that every single outlet is of the same quality but I would be happy to try out other outlets when I am in another area. Heres a little more detail on the Bath chain ; You can turn up without having to book but at busy periods ...  Read the complete review

"A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut, MaacccDonaalds, MaaccDonalds, Kentucky Fired Chicken and a Pizza Hut" I either have terrible taste in food or music! Or both, whichever way you look at it! So on Sunday my self and the daughter decided to take ourselves off to Bella Pasta, a place we've visited a couple of time before. Its getting a bit of a reputation as becoming an Italian fast food eatery. I think that's a little unfair, definitely not a traditional Italian, more so one of those foodie chain pubs. A restaurant ion the centre of Bristol is quite a sad and lonely affair on a Sunday afternoon. There ...  Read the complete review
