I say toffee but that has taste, and some places I've been to seem to think taste is an optional extra. La Ricetta was a breath of fresh air and revitalised my taste buds after so much disappointment. The staff were really friendly, the menu unpretentious and with a wide range of decent choices and the atmosphere was great - you could see that people had it down as a favourite place as every table was packed, and I could see why. The wine selection was good, the mushroom pasta absolutely delicious and I'd highly recommend for another visit. Top marks for a humble family-owned Italian eatery that's been the best place I've visited in ages. They're keeping it simple: just cooking great food!! I loved this restaurant - what a find.

I ordered a couple of pizza thinking it would have a rich sauce, with cheese but it was more like a dry cracker bread with prosciutto in it. Even a drizzle of olive oil would have helped. I had to chase up the water ordered as I couldn't eat any more with out it. I do like the ambience of the place and I think it does have potential to be great, but just missed the mark for me today. It's sad with so many choices that u may only get one chance to make an impression.

I've eaten here several times. We love their margherita and beef ragu pizzas, but I've found their…read moreragu a little too salty every time (I thought maybe it was just me, but others thought so as well). It's tasty though, so that doesn't deter me from ordering it the next time. Very nice crust with good texture and thickness, crustiness with chewiness. For me, though, the best dish is their handmade gnocchi. Both the one in Gorgonzola sauce and the one in tomato basil sauce (also consistently slightly too salty) are delicious. Again, even though the tomato basil sauce is too salty most of the time, I prefer it to the Gorgonzola and usually order it. When we order it as takeaway, a few times we've had to wait 15 minutes longer than they had told us to pick up. That said, it's worth it. Staff is friendly and polite. Ambiance is nice. Prices are a bit north of reasonable. I love that the restaurant is tucked away like a neighborhood secret.

Pretty interesting combos like the Rumble in the Jungle with pumpkin and green peas, the Popeye Power with hummus, and the Happy Daize with vegan ricotta. They have salads as well but I was too distracted by having more than one vegan option! Food: 4 stars Definitely an experience. Hummus on a pizza, check. Vegan ricotta, check. Deliciousness galore, check check. I had the Popeye Power and subbed the vegan ricotta for the mozzarella. I've never had hummus on a pizza before and was a welcome change. Loved the brininess of the olives w/ the acid of the lemon wedge. The ricotta rounded it out and melded w/ the creaminess of the hummus. Repeatability: 5.0 stars Great for both vegans and meat eaters. However, I don't think it's possible to request for half vegan/half meat pies. It was near closing time when we dropped by and I didn't see any vegan pies out so had to order a whole one. Disclaimer: it takes about 15-20 mins. The pie is b/w a standard U.S. med and large. This place was the only pizza joint in the area that actually stayed open as they stated online. Major plus as we went to three others. It was meant to be. They let us eat at the counter while they cleaned; they even continued to take slice orders. The folks were super nice and the cashier lady (I should have gotten her name) was incredibly helpful.

Oh, to get the combination of food and service this good so close to the Bridge was a rare treat indeed. Thankfully, Anchor seems to have picked up the baton and is running with it. A pizza & pasta joint with a touch of class, the hearty Italian meals and the friendly service are a welcome relief, even if the beer is bottled (no bother) and the value for money not quite as good (but still, quite good). And the reggae beats? I can't explain that, but I'm guessing they will soon be replaced by something involving a mandolin. In any case, I am sure to return again and again.

Situated in an upstairs restaurant, Bella Cibo has a calming rustic feel to its atmosphere. The open pizza kitchen flows with the scents of fresh made ingredients that has your taste buds dancing before your meal has arrived. Food usually takes around 20 minutes at its fastest; even when completely booked out. I personally return for the pizza and have never been let down. I've tried many kinds and will stand by the meat lovers and classic supreme. Dough is light and seasoned perfectly. Toppings are fresh and cooked evenly. Any requests made to alter the toppings have only been missed on one occasion but I leave that to a busy kitchen to be run by humans and as such, are capable of making a mistake here and there. It's no big deal at all. During one visit, the manager had taken my girlfriend's plate away after we had finished and asked for the remainder of what she had to be bagged. He accidentally threw it out. When we realized what may have happened, I approached the manager and to my surprise, we were presented with a brand new, full dish, packed and ready to be taken home. I highly recommend the pizzas and the creme brulee. Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. Well worth the price tag.

If this place could be consistent or honour requests, this would be a 5 star review…read more I've mostly given up on ordering pizza and just make my own, but when I'm not up to the task, Italy at Jannali (now Bella Cibo) is the go to. The Peri Peri Chicken pizza is outstanding (better than Crust IMO). Sadly, it's 50/50 on whether they'll honour our request for no mushrooms, and they've forgotten the peri peri sauce on one occasion. The chorizo pizza is deliciously different, don't be afraid of the rocket! There's almost a sweetness to the pie that I can't explain, but it's not to be missed. The hot wings aren't bad. They have an unusual cumin/coriander spice mix instead of the usual hot sauce, but still have a bit of a kick. The garlic bread is the best I've had via delivery. The meat lovers pizza also deserves a mention. I was a bit worried that the place would decline with the new name change, but it's still just as delicious - even if they left the mushrooms on again.

Now if only my home also had lots of waiters so hot with their chiselled cheekbones, that would be fantastic! ;) Haha but really, this Italian restaurant is a classic example of a family-oriented eatery. Mostly Italian waiters, and a very traditional style of cooking. Our pizzas, as delicious as they were dripping in marinara, were so thin, they were similar to an Indian roti! But it was reminiscent of true Italian pizza no doubt. Their ravioli was lip smacking, and almost over drenched in sauce, but not chewy or dry and full of lovely flavour. But the king in all this? Pear and ricotta cheesecake. The sexiest love child of fruit and cheese I have ever tasted, it had a light and crumbly crust with a smooth filling covering bites of juicy pear. If you want a quieter evening without too much of an adventurous menu, this is the place to fill up on!
