The focal point is the impressive stone bake oven and this place is all about the pizza. They have your expected selection of salads and pasta dishes, but i would really recommend their pizzas. This is probably the best pizza i have eaten outside of Italy. They are also reasonably priced and you will pay under £10 for a decent size pizza. The staff are friendly and the waiters manage the perfect level of Italian 'flirtiness' without being offensive or OTT. Drinks are what you would expect, with some decent Italian wines and bottle of Peroni. The prices make this a good place to come to for lunch or dinner, but you will likely need to reserve a table for evening weekend dining as the tables can fill up fast. Recommended.

The Brasserie is a Ristorante Italiano è Classico è molto gustoso!…read more At least I think that's how you write it. The food, service and surroundings are high-quality here, so expect a high price too. Also its location in Village Square makes it very popular with tourists so make sure you book ahead, and if its a balmy summer's evening reserve a table outside to avoid disappointment - they're the prime seats for marina viewing. Although the pasta dishes looked very enticing, I went straight for the fish, Fresh Scallops with garlic and wine to start and Salmone Alla Crema (fresh salmon with cream and brandy sauce) as my main, accompanied by a side of fresh vegetables. Everything was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. The wine list consists of mainly Italian and French favourites but it's a varied compilation. We plumped for a classic Frascati to start and moved on to Valpolicella for our mains. It didn't come cheap, at around £45 per person all in, but it was an experience worth paying for.

So I'm going to try something a little different today…read more.. A live blog! Let's see how this place shapes up! Entrance and welcome: perfectly acceptable, polite and friendly. Drinks order taken swiftly. I wish I had known my only option was a giant bottle of sparkling water, would have been nice to have been told initially. Menu: expansive, typical of Italian cuisine. A little on the expensive side. The fish specials looked delicious but unfortunately the waiter could not confirm where the fish came from; I am currently on a sustainability kick and have decided only to eat fish if I can verify how and where it was caught, so I opted instead for a chicken dish. Main: oh how my hopes were raised upon the first mouthful of my dinner, but sadly the delightful flavour of the creamy mushroom and dolcelatte sauce was not to be continued throughout the rest of my meal. I'm saddened to report dry chicken and floppy veg, I can almost forgive the slightly overdone chicken (as it seems to be the done thing in restaurants at the moment) but I most certainly cannot forgive limp broccoli. The inventors of the concept of al dente should know better! Points for utterly impeccable potatoes however, dauphinois I believe. Feeling a bit disappointed after the main, I decided to go whole hog and get a dessert... Menu: very disappointing. I was hoping this meal would at least finish with bang, but judging by the menu I won't hold my breath. Dessert: opted for a pannacotta with butterscotch sauce, currently sitting waiting with bated breath. Despite the lack of atmosphere tonight (forgiven due to tonight being a Monday evening) I'm excited due to the anticipation! Sadly... I shouldn't have. I got a thick and grainy pannacotta with what tasted like shop bought butterscotch sauce. I'm devastated. Pannacotta should be light and silky, it should melt in the mouth and be a joy to eat. Unfortunately, although the flavour was pleasant enough I could never recommend this dessert at the price the restaurant is asking. Which leads me to my conclusion: I could easily have given one or two extra stars on my review tonight if the menu had not been as expensive as it was. For a few pounds less on everything, this would have easily got 3 or 4 stars. Value for money this ain't, but if you're looking for a restaurant that isn't a chain in the marina, you could do worse than coming here. Oh and one final point, the waiter hacking away in the distance is slightly disconcerting. I know illness can't be helped, but take those coughs into the bathroom or something!

I agree with the other reviewers in the sense that the food isn't going to blow you away, but you will leave having enjoyed a tasty, filling meal in nice surroundings. On my most recent visit I went for the veal Milanese - veal in breadcrumbs served with spaghetti Neapolitana and salad. A tasty dish and massive portions that will certainly leave you full. My friend went for a steak with pepper sauce that also looked tasty. Being quite full, but unable to resist the dessert menu entirely, we decided to share a banoffee pie which was yummy, as banoffee pie always is! On previous occasions I have had a number of their pasta, risotto and salad dishes, all of which I have been happy with. The Italian waiters are typically Italian, in that they can flirt like no other nation! Its so cliched but I fall for it every time and turn into a giggling school girl! What is it about the Italian accent that makes men instantly more attractive??

It's essentially Italian tapas - small dishes such as a couple of meatballs in sauce, which is great if you're with friends or family as sharing is encouraged. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection; the only downside is the price! It was rather pricey for the small amount of tiny dishes my friend and I ordered, but you do get what you pay for. It isn't a place I would visit regularly as it is definitely a place to treat yourself with! Overall however when you do decide to make a visit, you won't be disappointed. Just don't be shocked at the prices!

The delivery driver came up my road and drove way past me not even stopping yet before he got onto my road he said it had been delivered. I didn't give the wrong address because I've always used the same one and it would always be delivered. I call up Bella Italia and ask for a full refund, and they refused and asked 'would you like 10% off of your next order' and 'if you order again you can get a free dessert'. Not being funny but i just lost all my food and for what? I negotiated and got a full refund, I said i want the same, do not let it get stolen. IT ARRIVED, yet cold. I had to heat it up and the pasta was so watery, no sauce, it was horrendous, never going there again

Saying that, it was a good deal, any pasta or pizza for £3 plus £2.50 for a cheeky glass of wine (though disappointed with the amount of wine - maybe they should have put it into a smaller glass to make it look like more! It was a nice wine). On the bonus side, as well as being good value, they have friendly staff, and I was served my pizza really quickly. While there, a number of big groups came in and so it is clearly popular locally and the pizza (apart from the underneath) was tasty. Didn't really get the 'family' feel to it, which it proclaims on the outside. Overall, would recommend, particularly for a cheap lunch but they should definitely clean their oven!

After hearing good things about various branches of Italian chain restaurant Strada from friends, I…read morewas really looking forward to going here. I have to say though, I was just a little bit disappointed. True, we were in here a bit earlier than usual (about 5:30pm) and it was a bright, sunny afternoon, but the place seemed to lack any atmosphere. With a little mood lighting I'm sure it would look far better, but it just seemed a little bit bare and shabby. Luckily we were sat next to a window, so we had the lovely views of the Marina to look out on. The service wasn't great either considering how empty the restaurant was, we were sat down for well over 15 minutes before someone bought us a drinks menu. By the time they actually got round to taking our drinks order, we were ready to order food. The food service wasn't prompt either I would have understood if the restaurant was packed, but it there were only about eight tables full of people. For drinks, we ordered number two on the wine list: Le Vigne Soave which was £15.50 a bottle. It was a nice, easy drinking wine - very dry and extremely crisp (just the way I like it). It wasn't spectacular mind, but it was perfectly drinkable. So, onto the food. For my starter, I ordered the Polenta con Funghi and my boyfriend ordered the Insalata Toscana. Presentation-wise, the polenta was severely lacking. It tasted lovely and the mushroom sauce was gorgeous, but I couldn't help but think a little sprig of greenery wouldn't have gone amiss. As for the salad, it was far too much insalata and not nearly enough 'Toscana'. As a main, I opted for the Risotto Cappesante (Pan fried scallops on a risotto of leeks, pancetta, white wine, lemon zest, chilli & basil) which, I have to say, was absolutely delicious. Again though, it lacked any pretty presentation. Overall, Strada is at the upper end of chain Italian restaurants in terms of its food. They offer a choice of four different risottos, which is great for anyone with a wheat intolerance for whom Italian restaurants are normally a no-go. They also have a fair few antipasto dishes suitable for the gluten-intolerants. Great food at average prices (£50 for 2 two-course meals and a bottle of wine) but they lose points for slow service and lack of atmosphere. Oh, and the fact that they add an "optional" 10% service charge to the bill that my boyfriend was far too British to refuse.

Certainly the best one I've had in the last five years. They had a Nutella and pizza dough dessert with ice cream, which I thought I saw another table order and looked interesting. When I went to order it, it was too late because the kitchen had closed and they had shut the fryer off. A few days later, I returned to a different location near Tower Bridge, just for the dessert. The dessert they brought out was not with the people had ordered at the table next to me the night before, but blew my mind. Picture attached. The spicy salami pizza and the Nutella dessert are absolute must haves.
