Reviews of Bella Italia - Northampton

I had a Pasta with prawns. Quality was excellent, though it isn't much, so a starter would be needed to fill you up atleast.
Location and interior looks great.
I'd go for the two course meal next time (£13,99).

Table reservation was not available upon arrival but manager soon resolved the issue. Friendly staff with great selection of foods and drinks. Cocktails are well worth trying. Made our bday celebration a good night out thank you. Hope you enjoyed the bday carrot cake !

We had some very particularly picky eaters amongst our group. Bella catered for everyone, including a full menu devoted to gluten free meals (not just a couple of items on the standard menu). Everyone enjoyed their meals, service was quick & servers attentive. Will definitely return

Family meal out, the food was all delicious, the staff were friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was lovely. We were there for three hours and not at all rushed. I am always pleased when I eat here.

Served by Paola, what fantastic service! Extremely friendly and outgoing, took such great care of my family and I, really ensured we had the fantastic night, the food was brilliant, barely any wait time. Definitely recommend!!!

Leanne our waitress was very friendly and took the time to talk to us and made us feel very welcome. Lovely meals along with brilliant cocktails. We really had a great experience at the Northampton branch of Bella Italia and look forward to returning.

Superb food Although extremely busy, service was prompt and courteous A comprehensive menu with so many tempting dishes to choose from and everything was beautifully cooked and presented
S. K.
Was OK but not the best one I've been to . Staff seemed friendly enough but did have to wait a while to get their attention ( restaurant wasn't busy at all ) and the food was OK . Some dishes lacked flavour and some of the pasta dishes wS watery but Pizza was nice. flat bread you could of used as a brick though. Will try again maybe I just got a bad nice
K.
Food was delicious... customer service was spot on.
Leanna was lovely and friendly member of staff who served us. Would definitely come again. Highly recommended.
J. J.
Food was very nice and the price was pretty reasonable, staff were friendly and place was clean.
Menu was small than i thought it would be but what I chose was lovely.
J. A.
Birthday celebration dinner. We enjoyed it and the meal size was a good portion. Impressed.
F.
Great table service and really enjoyed what food I had. Vesuvio needs to be hotter though! Open space, didn't feel claustrophobic. Good portion size.
J. B.
Seats hadn't been cleaned and had food on them. Service was very slow initially but got better. Food was okay but very expensive.
I have eaten much better and it cost a lot less.
J. R.
Good menu, very good staff. Two happy customers. Nice atmosphere.
More sauce on the carbonarra next time please.

Absolutely fantastic friendly and quick service. All of the waiters were lovely especially our waiter Joel. Food was fantastic and will definitely be here again soon!

Have a lovely 2 course meal here for my mum's 70th birthday we brought our own birthday cake with us all as there was 10 of us . The service was very good .
S. B.
Popped in early Friday evening, without reserving a table.. They soon found us somewhere to sit. Staff were nice and friendly, food was nice and reasonably priced.
g. b.
Breakfast quality is very mediocre in quality, not warm at all and the pancake stack is NOT A STACK it is only 3 small pancakes that are cold and the syrup is not warm either. They also don't know how to do poached egg properly and it's not very good either. The only good thing they had was the coffee and it is not noted on the menu that it is a very small portion but the quality is boondoggling. Would not reccomend at breakfast times maybe real times are better and the bananas are not good either
e.
Nice place, very nicely decorated spacious and clean. The staff are very nice and the food was tasty.
P. P.
The food and service was excellent. A special shoutout to Amy who served us, her friendliness and professionalism (including to help with choosing from the menu) made an extra to the experience beyond "just food". Such things really make the difference between one restaurant and another. Thank you.
c. k.
We arrived for 6pm on a Thursday and was quiet. Good service but my food was overcooked (salmon) but others meals were satisfactory. Not a place we'd rush back to.
K. R.
Lovely food, the service was slow for us but the large table of people were well attended to.
R. B.
Absolutely fabulous place. Best gluten free food.. So much to choose from. Perfect service too
M. S.
We arrived late evening without booking and they fitted us in. Pasta and drinks served promptly and were very good. Waitress was helpful, friendly and efficient
S. K.
The waiter looked after my wife all day as she got the early lunch and we was booked in for the evening and both meals were great.
S.
Excellent food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely fantastic.
W. F. C.
Great service, excellent food, good seating! ~ Note to the lady that served us ~ "Every day is a special day" ;)
E. G.
First visit since the recent refurbishment and it looks brighter and less cluttered, so a good job. The service here was always good and that is still the case. The menu had changed over the years possibly getting smaller? Still plenty to choose from and it tasted fine. We part paid with Tesco vouchers as did several other tables do the value is good. Would I go without them? Maybe. Enjoy your visit.
J. r.
Excellent restaurant and value for money. The carbonara was freshly made couldn't fault it great place to eat out!
M. P.
As always, reliable food and good service. Pre-theatre, so pleased with the quick service. Also, they were flexible to adapt a dish for dietary requirements. Loved the ox cheek ragout!
A. P.
Good food, average service
The food here is really good, but they are letting themselves down with their service.
The food is fresh and is of good quality at a reasonable price.
When it comes to being served, they walk pass you constantly while you are stood in a door way, to then finally say you will need to wait 20 minutes.
After waiting 30 mins at the bar looking round at constant empty tables, you are told your seat is ready and they just point where to sit and you have to go yourself.
They then let you know that there will be 40 mins wait to cook a pizza and that they only have 1 oven.
This has happened a couple of times now and unfortunately I won’t be back until they can sort their service issues out.
A. B.
Service was a bit too rushed, but very friendly staff. Very expensive for a meal I could've easily made at home for a fraction of the price.
D. B.
Had a lovely evening with family for Grand-Daughter Birthday, considering there was over 20 people they coped really well, lovely food too
L. L.
Food well presented. Tasty and as expected.
A. C.
This was one of the best restaurants experiences I have had In a long time. The atmosphere was perfect the staff extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were made to feel very welcome and the food was far better then I had though. Throughly enjoyed the evening and will return. Our waitress Ksenia was brilliant and perfect knowledge and made the whole experience much more then just dinning out.
C. S.
Lunch time visit and well worth it. Place wasnt too busy and we had the waitress look after us really well. New menu is very different. The smaller starters are alot smaller than they used to be, but next time I will just order a couple instead of one. Prices do reflect the smaller portion though. Main was still a good portion and had a lot of flavor to it.
Overall, warm welcome back by the staff and good food. Will return.
B. S.
Friendly staff made for a pleasant visit and the food was excellent.
J. S.
Went for a friend's birthday meal, was seated at our table upon arrival. Our waiter could have smiled more, food was okay, starters came out timings were great also, between courses. Waited a while for the bill though, overall my mate had a good meal
B. O.
Lovely meal at lunch, carbonara was great, service from Joel and Vito was superb 👌
D. R.
Great service from the team. We turned up on a busy Saturday evening without a booking on chance, maitre 'd moved some tables around to get us seated!
Food was lovely as ever. Service was good, a little wait but it was busy.
We will be returning (but will book next time)
R. 2.
Good place to eat out.
Staff and service is great and so is the food.

Great food, decent service on bank Holiday monday
A. D.
Service very friendly and helpful, mushroom starter came with bread however it was dry and solid, asked for it to be changed but told all bread was like this, you could tap a tune on the side of the plate, shame because mushroom dish was delicious.
I had calzone but was not as nice as previous visit just seemed to be all mozzarella and nothing else.
Probably won't go for a while and will check other reviews before returning.
Overall bit disappointed as previous visit to bella was very good.
M. (.
Food is good, service is friendly. Kids love it. The giant pepper grinder was a surprisingly highlight of the last visit.
L. S.
We never booked, it was full. We got a table! The waiting staff (from Estonia) like the best service ever. The food omg 😋 Vesuvius pasta with scotch bonnet sauce heat 🌶️🌋 , partner had some garlic and fungi pasta job 😋. House wine 🍷 better than standard . Followed by two free shots of lemon liquor . What not to like . I'll be back ! 🤖
a. c.
Lovely restaurant, quite sizeable, varied choice of foods available and portion sizes are reasonable. You can get a doggy bag for your pizza if you cant finish it all.in my opinion what lets it down now are the prices of the drinks which are ridiculous, and the poor quality of the desserts which they buy in rather than making fresh themselves. I had a cookie with gelato in it. First of all it was half a cookie. Secondly the gelato that was supposedly meant to be sandwiched in was non existent... a teaspoon if i was lucky. Poor show... the other dessert which was meant to have rhubarb ... basically had such a minute amount i dont know why they bothered. Expensive for ill thought out desserts.
S. A.
Food was really good; added bonus of Becks on tap 🍺 friendly and welcoming staff. A second visit and again, very yummy food and very pleasant service ❤️
A. P.
Visited once inside seating was allowed again. Staff were so friendly and welcoming we really felt like they missed being there. Food was very different from before, with a new menu but they explained the new starters and we tried a couple, both were really tasty. Our waiter recommended the arancini and they were really nice. Our favorite dishes were no longer on the menu (the prawn pizza :-( ) so our waiter talked through some of the other options and I tried the prawn pasta which was amazing. Shared a tiramisu to finish and that really ended our lunch nicely. Manager remembered us from before lockdown which was a nice touch. Will be back soon. Good value and delicious food. Thanks :-)
R. B.
We’ve been here numerous times over the last 5 years and time after time it exceeds our expectation.
The staff and the manager really cracked great food and customer service. By the far the best chain restaurant in Northampton, look forward to our next visit!
S. S.
Food was hit and miss. Bruschetta was lovely. Had the duck pasta, nice and light but duck was a bit dry. Brownies were tasty but cookie dough al forno tasted greasy. Toilets were quite unclean
S. C.
Nice place to eat, pizza is delicious, but when we ordered pasta, it was overcooked.

Had a fantastic meal at late notice, staff where fantastic and the food was simply delicious. 5 stars indeed.
A. M.
Had to book a table in advance! And had to ask to be seated away from other people
Food was delicious, got cheese on the pasta and the pizza was delicious
Unfortunately I was too hungry to take a picture before starting to eat 😂
R. H.
I'm not quite sure to be honest but I can say the service was great.
S. S.
Lovely evening. Excellent service. Tasty food.
B. B.
Food and service very good and reasonably priced. Having a wooden floor means that all sounds echo and are magnified. It is not a place to have a relaxed, quiet meal.

A week ago I asked my little boy (who’s nearly 3) what he wanted for lunch after coming out of the cinema. He said he wanted pizza. I looked around and saw a Pizza Hut so headed over there. They had a table but just as we were about to go in I realised I’d left my bag in the car so we went to get it and by the time we got back they had given our table away. My little boy was so upset and didn’t understand why he couldn’t have a pizza so kept crying as he thought he’d done something wrong. (Of course I told him this wasn’t the case) so I’m in a panic trying to find somewhere to get a pizza for him. It was one of the eat out to help out days and I knew I was going to struggle. I decided to go to Bella Italia and try my luck. The gentleman at the door was absolutely wonderful and so accommodating to us. Especially to my little boy who had been upset so it meant a lot to me. We quickly got our drinks and meals and everything was delicious. I was so happy he got his pizza and we had the best day together. So we decided to go again today and bring my husband along as well as he had a day off. Again everything was just wonderful, food was amazing and our server, Goran I think his name was, was just lovely. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you all, you’re doing a brilliant job!
R. J.
Great service on a hot day, new starters were amazing and great for sharing with my partner. Our waitress lourdes was a star, will definitely go again.
J. W.
We did the bottomless pizza offer. This runs between 12 and 9pm Monday through Thursday. Choose your first pizza and then they bring you more on a rotational basis until you ask them to stop. For the brave, you can also do the bottomless prosecco. This is an additional £15 per person. Only downside is that you only have the table for 90 mins. Will definitely return.
T. L.
chicken was dry but did send it back and came back really tasty. spaghetti was gorgeous,, such good flavours. wait time wasnt too long but was worth the wait. They have taken it off the menu i think but their caramel iced coffee is to die for! had 3 when i went the first time and loved it so so so much
A. M.
great service and food made sure that my child was happy and went out of their was to assist him with his dairy allergy
S. C.
Service was quick and our waitress, Ilenia was so helpful. we would not hesitate to recommend this eatery.
M. U.
Great
L. K.
Service was good, I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish that mentioned creamy and spinach as well as mushrooms. It was like eating just boiled pasta, not exactly creamy, no spinach just a sprinkle of rocket leaves. It didn't particularly taste of anything much, except just boiled pasta. The portion was just under what I would expect to be served. And that was about £14. Not exactly impressed. I'm not going to rush to go back there.
S. F.
Starters tasted good and were a generous size. Unfortunately my main meal only had half of the ingredients on it that the menu stated it should contain. There was hardly any chicken or pancetta in my pasta and it tasted very plain. Definitely not worth the price. When the food came and I complained, I was told that they had ran out of Parmesan and Prosciutto which the dish was supposed to have on it but we had not been told this before we ordered. They had ran out of all types of pizza by 8pm. The women’s toilet was out of use and so we were told to ask for the key for the disabled toilet at the bar and use the disabled. I thought this was ridiculous, especially during a global pandemic as there was no way you could use the toilet without touching the key that everyone had to use. I understand that they were very busy but serving a half-hearted meal is just not good enough and the lack of safety regarding Covid-19 was poor when it came to using the toilets. When we paid the bill we were forced to touch the card machine despite trying to pay with contactless as there was an option to leave a tip.
o. r.
Overpriced, the food ok, the old menu was better
D.
The service was very slow but they warned us on arrival. The food was fine... just needing salt and pepper. They could have done with more service staff. The tables weren't cleared regularly resulting in the teenagers knocking over 1 drink and another one breaking a wine glass. I hope the waiter got the "service charge". The gluten free meal was well done. All in all it was a wonderful outing.
L. M.
We had a lovely evening meal here. The restaurant was really busy but the service was excellent. Our waitress Ksenia was really friendly and attentive. Our food arrived very quickly and was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return.
D. M.
Booked in advance. Some choices had run out. Placed under air con so the excellent food went cold quickly.
G. G.
Delicious food, the portions look small but they are actually the perfect size! Great service too
B. D.
Great food, friendly, helpful staff and lovely dining area.
a. b.
Pizzas were very tasty for a big chain, beer very cold, staff attentive, very nice venue for a family informal lunch or dinner. More expensive than the likes of Hut for example, but in my opinion better quality pizzas, but then again you get what you pay for. I have not tried their pastas yet, maybe next time.
P. P.
Called on a Sunday evening with no reservation.
Didn't have to wait long for a table depot it being busy.
Our order for drinks was taken very quickly and they arrived just as quick.
Our food order was taken and after a little wait it came.
The food was of a very good standard and every one in our part enjoyed it.
Even though they were busy we didn't feel rushed or intimidated to finish quickly.
J. W.
Had a great meal during my recent detox. Ah isn't January fun. 600 calorie meal was awesome. 300 starter and 300 main. OK I wasn't bursting at the seams. But it was awesome.
Have been back since and the new menu is great. Can't fault the food or the staff. Always friendly and happy to help.
A. W.
It's a shadow of the former business. Options have been pretty much pared back to pasta and pizza (cheap to produce with high margins) . The smaller 'tapas' style starters are not worth the money and the portion size of the mains has shrunk. I understand the business is trying to survive, but fleecing the public is not the answer.
E. B.
We went out with my partner to Bella Italia on Thursday afternoon, we had excellent lunch. The staff were very nice and helpful. Ksenia is lovely girl with amazing skills. She look after us for whole visit, she make sure our food was tasty and everything was fine. We definitely come back to Bella Italia. Restaurant was very clean and atmosphere was very good.
B. T.
Nice place and friendly staff made the evening with family relaxing and enjoyable. Our waitress was great as we had a large table.
Food okay but prices high for a simple pasta or pizza and desserts are expensive.
Not a place to go regularly just special occasions and never pre-cinema when cheaper options available elsewhere.
C. B.
The waiter that served us was very enthusiastic and helped us with our decision to order. He also spoke with manners and was funny. We ordered a pizza and a portion of pasta, they were both excellent, not only good quality but also a large portion. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the place as a whole was clean. The only minor criticism is that the milkshakes were not very cold however they were still delicious and there was no pizza cutter to help cut the pizza. Apart from that, a perfect meal. The price was not too expensive for the quality and we will defiantly make a return.

Good service friendly , kids menus could be a bit more variety and flavours other than that fantastic

Food and service was great as always, in line with other Bella restaurants. Managed to squeeze our table of 5 in during busy hours. Catered well for special food requirements. Did order a passionfruit martini which was awful (they put the prosecco shot in the cocktail) but other than that had an enjoyable evening.
R. S.
Lovely waitress, food was bland.
Ordered pizza bread to start, it was rock hard and greasy.
Mains pizza was bland, tomato base wasn't appealing and flavourless.
Mousse dessert wasn't mousse at all but solid chocolate.
Menu has very little option I.e hardly any fish dishes or vegetarian, all seems to be meat.
Waitress was great, lovely and friendly. The food however is going more and more down hill.
Even with 40%off mains, the total bill paid was not worth the food we received.
J. F.
Lovely lunchtime visit on Tuesday, was served by Joel. Lovely and attentive waiter, made our day. Food was amazing, with so much flavour. Will definitely be back soon
R. M.
Excellent customer service, gluten free meal was delicious (though could have been warmer in temperature). Spag bol was technically perfect but lacked a punch. Kids meal was generous in size and very reasonably priced, plus came with a very funky reusable straw!!
C. C.
Our waitress Paola was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. Especially important as my son has a peanut allergy and she checked what was safe for him. She also had excellent menu knowledge and explained and recommended food to us. Also for dessert, Pipi was very helpful with allergy information. Susan the manager also checked we were happy with everything and was extremely welcoming. Delicious fresh food and highly recommended.
C. B.
Service was extremely slow. Took an hour to get our starters. The waitress tried her best and was nice enough but took the shine off our evening having to wait so long especially with young children.
m. r.
Nice location, quite, very friendly staff.
The food was amazing and the prices are excellent.
Highly recommended.
M. D.
The food was really nice, restaurant hygiene standards we’re very good.
Price for food and drinks was reasonable.
Staff especially a young lady was very rude and abrupt. We had to wait quite a while to be served. Dessert options are very good.
Parking facilities are very good.
C. P.
Excellent lunchtime visit. Our host tried very hard to accommodate our vegetarian requirements and offered adaptions to the menu choices to suit our individual tastes. The food was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic and did everything they could to make our visit enjoyable. Will go again.
P. S.
Lovely food and great service

Good service from Annabel even tjough the place was very busy. Found us a table quickly and were v attentive. The pizzas were delicous but unfortunately my friends chips were not quite cooked. However Annabel resolved the problem quickly and my friend got a whole new bowl of freshly cooked chips.
P. K.
Enjoyed it very much. Service excellent as was the food. Each had a sirloin steak, (quality meat) and both cooked perfectly to our requirements. We shall certainly visit Bella Italia Northampton again.
R.
It's a long time since I ate here because I wasn't impressed. But this location has obviously recently had a refurb and it has a great feel inside.
More importantly, the service staff were excellent, the food of good quality and we really enjoyed our evening there.
A. M.
Staff were friendly, they had ran out of a few things and we were told it was because the new menu was popular. I had the mushroom pasta and it was incredibly bland and the pasta was all stuck together (gluten free so hard to cook though). Great for gluten free and vegan options, but just a typical Italian chain restaurant.
f. l.
Initial service extremely slow took 25 minutes to bring drinks(and place not particularly busy), however, after that service speeded up a little. Food, especially starters, tasty and presented well. Not a place to go if you want a quick bite, but if you can linger, was worth the wait.
K. E.
Been here several times with my boyfriend over the last two and a half years, it was one of the first places we went for dinner.
We’ve been jere when it’s quiet and when it’s busy and everytime their service is just as quick, last time it was extremely busy and I could barely believe how quickly food was served.
Amazing food that I always forget how filling it is! You won’t leave disappointed! Even for me who I’d say can eat a lot!
Staff are always friendly and helpful, one of my favourite places to eat, can not recommend enough
D. L.
Unexpectedly good. Starters slow to arrive, but decent tasting. Pasta and pizza mains very good. Dessert and coffee decent. Overall a nice Sunday lunch.
C. W.
Excellent service from polite and friendly colleagues. Food was excellent too. Will be returning soon.
B. C.
Really friendly team who interact with me & my little one just enough, but not too much. She loves going, kids menu is really good ' well priced with unlimited squash. Adult menu is delicious with good variety. Can't wait to go again once it's re-opened!
C. W.
Amazing food and really friendly staff. Our waiter Joel was so lovely and made us smile! Will definitely be coming back!
S. H.
The staff here are lovely and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We turned up Friday night at 6pm and they were fully booked, but rearranged things especially to fit us in. The cocktails are lovely, the food nice with a good variety of options for vegetarians which makes it my favourite place on the sixfields complex 😀
N. M.
A nice menu, friendly staff who are always attentive to our children. Food well presented... Occasionally portions are slightly on the small side for the price, although the kids meals are good value. We regularly get vouchers emailed to us from Bella which keeps us returning!
S. C.
Excellent. Found us a table at short notice. Great service and food.
N. R.
Tasty food, not crowded at all during peak times. Children get a lot for their meals plus free refill if they choose juice and not fizzy drink. Would definitely go again and recommend
D. G.
Restaruant: nice decorated , warm inside
Food: vegan menu awesome: vegan meat ball delicious, pizzas, salad too but cheesecake was too sour very too sour. It Should be name lemoncake. We had vegan menu but we received cow milk for the tea. :)
Staff: Florian - nice guy but : too slowly ( just 6 customers inside), we received tea after 20 minutes despite I seen that it was done after 3 minutes. He likes watch woman's breasts ( me too but not at work. unprofessional) after starters we didn't receive forks and knifes before main courses.

Atmosphere was lovely here. Food wasnt great tbh. Starters were fabulous. Main dishes we had were burnt, ribs were tiny aswell. Dessert was nice tho. Then the bill came in st over 120 for us which seemed alot for the quality.
L. J.
Delicious authentic Italian dishes in a rustic and well designed restaurant. The food is always superb and there is a wide range of dishes to choose from on the menu. The staff are also helpful and nice. Overall delicious food at great prices!
G. S.
Wasn't impressed. The host was quite abrasive. Once we were seated he left us for 15 minutes before taking our drinks order. The food was good.
I. C.
Tasty and fresh cooked food all the time.
Waitresses should give more attention to the customer as we had to ask them every time for our drinks as no one was coming to take our orders.

Always love the food here es6the salmon 😋
E. H.
Visited on a Tuesday evening and was very pleasant also menu has been updated with some lovely meals. Not too busy at the time so service was great! I had a chicken alforno and my husband had calzone which we both enjoyed thoroughly. It's the first time I've been back here in a long time because it wasn't so great years ago and the menu choices were bad for an Italian in my opinion. But looks like they have improved everything overall so I will definitely be going back in future. It's great for couples,families and groups. Not too sure what it would be like at the weekends I'm guessing they will be alot busier so can't comment on that side so 4 starts given. We will be back soon!
M. H.
Lovely food and great service

We a family meal with 11 of us all food was delicious. The children's 3 course meal is incredible value for money. Gluten free meal was fabulous I chose cabonara and the waiter apologised for the wait but it was literally two minutes behind everyone else it was not a problem. Fabulous waiter who was very good with my baby George. Lovely atmosphere great service and great food. Love it will definitely recommend bella Italia to everyone I know. Thank you.
S. G.
Amazing food and service as always

We've always had a good meal at Bella Italia.
The staff are always friendly and can't do enough to make your dining experience the best.
Food always arrives hot and the service is impeccable.
Highly recommend Bella Northampton :)
A. H.
Service was excellent, BUT Mediocre food, defo not worth approximately £12 per plate for mains
F. A.
Good food but the survice is a little slow at times, we wait 20 minutes after getting the desert menu for someone to take are order. Then another 20 minutes till we could get bill after we had finished our desert.
S. P.
This is the 1st time I have been here in years, I had 3 bad experiences and vowed never to go again, that was about 15 years ago. Well I am so glad I did go back. The food and service was amazing and the price was reasonable. I will definitely be going back. Our waiter was lovely also.
S. N.
Very good, good food and they always make my little boy happy.
J. W.
As a long term customer, I would love to say all good things, but sadly I can't give this 5 stars for a few reasons. Let me start by saying, the food is good and the staff are friendly, BUT the company are getting tighter and the value for money has continued to get worse. I appreciate todays climate might be trickier, but making portion sizes smaller and smaller, to avoid putting the prices up is underhand and annoying. I wonder if it's because most of the people who seem to eat here use Tesco Vouchers (and those it seems are only worth 3 x now and not 4 x) so to see the portion sizes get reduced as well, makes this one to miss in future for me. Shame, as I quite like it but value for money is not good nowadays.
T. N.
Great food, kind staff. Gets quite busy in the evenings so make sure to book in advance or expect a wait. Free parking outside the restaurant too!
R. L.
Well they didn't do anything wrong, but I still came away thinking that something wasn't right.
The kids' pasta looks gray, despite being made from yellow and red ingredients. My meatballs were good, but the sauce bland. Chicken burger was good! So pasta isn't their strong suit, go figure.
Service was... distracted.

Excellent service and friendly and attentive staff.
My first question was "do you make the pizza base yourself?" This was due to a bad experience at Bella Italia in Uxbridge. I was pleased to hear that they did and that some of the staff were italian - meaning they take pride in their food.
This was a totally different experience and I wholly recommend them as the Gorgonzola pizza bread was crispy and tasty, my pasta was authentic and all other dishes were approved by my family.
A lovely atmosphere, I am sure is as a result of an excellent manager.
From the telephone booking and "thank you for booking", I was impressed by their care and attention.
Nothing to fault apart from running out of pizza boxes for us to take the remnants home with us - delicious.
J. A.
Lovely attentive service lourdes. Enjoyed the lemon meringue pie, will be back for it. Great pasta and pizza, everything was full of flavour.
B. S.
Great food and customer service especially from Joel who was excellent and really helpful. Place has always been great, would highly recommend. 👍🏻
E. M.
Wonderful experience provided by Joel, our server. The food was delightful and he was always on standby for more drinks.
S. G.
Food was vey nice, service waitress was ok, not able to get our own drinks from bar, so waitress had to wait at the end, while this large group divided total between us, her face told us she was not amused.
R. H.
Great food. Understaffed though. Had to wait for food but the staff were trying their best.
D. W.
Excellent Meal...Just fancied Italian and as good as ever.
.Great service....You know what your getting and it's good reliable and enjoyable food for a sensible price...would recommend...

Visited at lunch time, the girl that was serving us was lovely and friendly but rushed off her feet while 2 other staff were sat at a table. Food nice but expensive for what you get.
M. H.
Nice restaurant,service was good until we wanted the bill,as the staff were run off their feet and it took along time to get their attention. All the meals were good but deserts were ok at best and not worth the money, but we had a meerkat deal so all in all ok.
G. F.
Nice food and friendly staff. Service is often slow though and somehow we always seen to be rushing out to catch our film, even when we've had a couple of hours to get our meal in.
K. S.
Love the food will need to know what how to speak Italian so I know on the menu
n. h.
Delicious food, great service and lots of happy emotions as always. Thank you Bella Italia, Northampton. Enjoy!

Not impressive from the outside - the car park is so rutted and broken, with deep hollows and ramps that it resembles a moto-cross course. Access for wheelchair users is difficult because of the steep ramp to the door which can only be accessed by mounting a high kerb from the road.
Inside things were much better. The food was tasty, well-presented and good value; the service was speedy and the serving staff were very friendly, helpful and most professional. We had a very enjoyable meal at a reasonable price.
Overall the experience was marred by the difficulties of access. I also noticed that the Fire Exit at the Northern end of the building opened onto a dangerous drop into the car park. In an emergency this poses a serious hazard and it is worrying that the Northampton Borough Council's premises inspection team have not picked this up.
L. M.
They forgot to bring me my salad which I ordered and I feel it was overpriced food was nice though
D. B.
Never had a bad meal here.
P. M.
Great food with new options regularly. Never too noisy. Lovely staff. Child friendly. I've lost count of how many times we've been here!
p.
Went there with my wife and we have decided to go for pizzas. I had Diavola and my wife went for Campagna. Both on classic base. Yummy! We also had couple of mocktails which were great! Place has got a lovely vibe and was fully packed even on thursday evening. Thanks
A. S.
Sat outside in the glorious sunshine enjoying our Pizzas. Lovely friendly Waiter. Lovely Pizzas.
D. H.
Had the rack of ribs with piri-piri sauce. Very yummy as it was juicy, fresh and tender. The restaurant had very comfortable seating arrangements and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful
P. D.
Love going here! They made up a unique dish for my 8 year old based on what she wanted to eat! Great food and staff!
B. T.
Nice place and friendly staff made the evening with family relaxing and enjoyable. Our waitress was great as we had a large table.
Food okay but prices high for a simple pasta or pizza and desserts are …
s. s.
Very good.
f. l.
Initial service extremely slow took 25 minutes to bring drinks(and place not particularly busy), however, after that service speeded up a little. Food, especially starters, tasty and presented well. Not a place to go if you want a quick bite, but if you can linger, was worth the wait.
J. G.
We've always had a good meal at Bella Italia.
The staff are always friendly and can't do enough to make your dining experience the best. …
G. C.
Lovely staff. Visited on a busy Sat night without a booking and we were still seen straight away. Good service too
E. L.
Pleasant personnel, good food and attractive ambience. A lot of younger adults I noticed here but a number of the opposite age bracket also evident. Good mix.
L. D.
Very friendly staff, tasty food, and good prices
S. F.
Starters tasted good and were a generous size. Unfortunately my main meal only had half of the ingredients on it that the menu stated it should contain. There was hardly any chicken or pancetta in my pasta and it tasted very plain. …
D. W.
Excellent Meal...Just fancied Italian and as good as ever.
.Great service....You know what your getting and it's good reliable and enjoyable food for a sensible price...would recommend...
N. W.
The service is fantastic but the food not to my taste. Some things quite salty but think it's just not for me.
Somebody who appreciates Italian food would quite like Bella Italia.
R. F.
Fantastic service and environment. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, highly recommend
D. S.
Lovely meal and very large portions in a great setting. Unfortunately, when I got home we had been charged for a lager which should have been free for Father's day and was told it would was.

Good value for money, especially when one main course is on the house, even when it is for a belated birthday treat!!

Joel was really friendly and a really attentive waiter. Food was lovely and I highly recommend it as a place to have a quiet lunch.

This place is amazing . We got here before 10pm and they let us in and place orders .we were 10 people they rearranged tables got us all seated . Food was great .staff was fantastic and very helpful .
E. L.
Had breakfast. Very cold in restaurant, therefore food very quickly cold. It was also served on cold plates.
Tables could be cleaned better.
The staff were very nice.
K. H.
Lovely, tasty food. Very clean inside.
K. P.
The range of courses are not that wide but the quality is great. Portions could be bigger.
J. T.
An ok place. Very loud when busy so prepare to talk loud to be heard. Could do with something to reduce the noise that resounds through the seating areas. Food was nice and drinks were OK. I would visit again.
L. B.
One of the better chains in Sixfields. There are usually vouchers available to bring the price down, which helps a lot! There are a surprising number of vegan options for a chain, including cheese/meat-free pizza.
G. G.
Great service this evening. Friendly and attentive. Food was very good and well presented.

On entering Bella Italia in Stratford upon Avon, We were shown to our seats promptly, furnished with menu's, our order was taken when we were ready, Plenty of choices, and the dishes we ordered complimented each other very well, the whole experience was smooth polite and professional. This is all due to the staff, so, Nicely done Bella Italia.
J. D.
Great food with even better service, would definatley recommend. Freshly cooked food to order makes it a fantastic meal out for everyone.

Great food and lovely waitress who despite having to work her socks off still took the time to make sure we were served well with a smile
G. M.
The service and food are fine. BUT CHECK YOUR BILL! We have been twice and taken advantage of one of their offers but both times we have been over charged, so check the bill.

I thought Bella Italia was another English chain that self-appropriated another countrie's gastronomy in a poor attempt to recreate it in a vulgar way (e.g. Domino's Pizza) but I am glad I was proven wrong by subtil pizzas and wonderful tastes!
D. B.
Had the best time here and safe gluten free food options as well.
