There was a varied menu of pasta, pizza and meat dishes which were decently priced as they have many special money off offers. It is not a formal place so people weren't dressed up but great for a casual, fun meal. The staff were young but attentive and got everything right. Bar prices were a little steep but that is to be expected now in all resturants. We only went as our first choice was full and as we drove past we saw that there were empty spaces in the resturant. but I shall be going again.

Ideal for food while you're…read moreshopping, or catching up with mates, or a family supper, young 1st date or two skint old fuddies who can't be pestered to dress up. Lots of offers, like a quid off starters and money off chicken and pasta dishes, makes it worth a visit. The service can be a bit over attentive, but the young staff respond well to a light-hearted go away with big smiles. Pretty sure this is a franchise type place, there's one in Middlesbrough and Darlington which are very similar. My daughter loves the cocktails, and won't leave until we treat her to a Cosmopolitan, bar prices are as ridiculous as restaurant prices always are these days, but no worse. Have not tried anything we did not like, and the chicken with goats cheese is one of our Donnas all time favourites ( I love the Duck)

Only tiny fault was the slow service.

Renovations to top entrance means that you must use alternative entrance is down the alley (or…read morechare, lol) running next to the restaurant. The door isn't labelled well, but I'm a trailblazing type and wasn't hampered. The outdoor seating, which is really close to the river and bridge and was where I really wanted to sit, is closed at this time of year. It was a gorgeous day; however, they gave a good reason, May flies. The waitress I had was polite, and she was quick to bring me a drink, served with a lemon. I ordered garlic grossini(?) and a lasagna. To really test an Italiano Ristorante, you should always order the lasagna--if their lasagna is no good, chances are the rest won't be that good either. Kudos to the wait staff... though I ordered a Coca Cola, the couple sitting near me ordered red wine. The waitress asked them if they'd like to taste the wine before they bought the bottle... classy and consumer oriented. Kudos, Bella Italia, kudos. So, the dishes came really fast. It was almost too fast, but since I was in a party of 1, that was fine. They were excellent--by far the best Italian food that I've had in the United Kingdom. The lasagna was at probably 6 layers: two noodle layers, two sauce layers, a creamy ricotta/soft cheese layer, and a mozzarella layer dressed with fresh herbs. It was really good lasagna, and the portion was large. The garlic bread was surprisingly similar to traditional American style breadsticks... topped with a garlic pesto that was quite amazing. The dishes were quite salty, but I don't mind. The price tag was a little high, but it was a fancy eat-in joint in a premiere location. Not bad after all.
