After seeing some bad reviews we were apprehensive but the food and service were amazing . Absolutely lovely staff , food was quick and tasty . Cannot fault

The place is amazing the staff are so friendly and the food is brilliant. Never had a bad meal here would highly recommend this place. Especially Paul the manager xx

We came here a year ago and was not impressed, but the place has been turned around. The staff were fantastic and the food was out quick and delicious. Can't fault any part of our experience.

Parking is free and ample, i have used this restaurant on many occasions and always found it satisfactory, however my last visit will be my the last time i go there, front of house was a scruffy unkept man who looked liked he slept in his clothes, the food was below average, and the place was under staffed, the restaurant itself is showing its age and the ambience is very poor.

This was an absolutely delicious meal for me and my partner and even though we ordered on uber eats it was just like we were actually sitting in your restaurant and now we have just finished our food, I had spaghetti and meatballs with doh balls and garlic tear and share and my partner had spaghetti bolognese and we had Tiramisu for desert. We will definitely be coming to your restaurant next time. As we think your absolutely brilliant :

Myself, my wife, son and granddaughter went to the restaurant located at Barbican leisure centre. In Plymouth. We were there for Mother’s Day meal. We had the fixed 3 course menu. What a gorgeous meal we had. Best meal we have had whilst eating out in a long time. Generous portions. Drinks were overly expensive though but great Italian beer. Would we eat there again ? Yes we would ! And thank you to the lovely young lady that looked after us. Polite and friendly. Looked after us well.

Booked a table for 6.30, we arrived at 10 past due to the film we went to see finishing earlier. Was told we’d have to wait until half past to order food but we could be seated and order a drink. Which is fine. Waited until 6.50 for a beer and glass of wine, then waited another 15 minutes for them to come back and take the food order. I understand you don’t want to overwhelm the kitchen but it wasn’t that busy at all. Dip brought 10 mins after the pizza, didn’t ask if we’d like Parmesan on the pasta. Average food, edible but not seasoned carbonara. Probably won’t bother again.

My meal started well, a nice glass of white wine anda lovely bruschetta with mozzarella, basil and fresh tomato- really light and fresh. But my husband had olives, they were dry and tasteless. The restaurant then got quite busy and not enough staff. My husband had ordered the Carbonara, it looked nice but not much pancetta in it and then fairly tasteless, and needed more seasoning. I had the sea bass dish, it was so dry as an overall dish, no sauce at all, just a piece of fish on top of potatoes, beans, onion and some other veg. I enjoyed the bits of onion as it actually gave it some flavour. We then ordered desserts, the tiramisu was very good so we shared it, as the passion fruit and raspb...

visited your restaurant Bella Italia in Plymouth tonight and all I can say is that I am absolutely appalled by the customer service and wait times. The restaurant was not that busy or full but the staff just do not understand how to run the business. When we entered we were greeted by an unfriendly member of staff who rudely told us that our booked table was not ready, which was fine so we waited. We were finally sat down and ordered drinks these arrived and we placed our starter and main orders. 30 minutes go by and a staff member asks if we would like more drinks we decline as we are still waiting for our starters. During this time a staff member is offering free drinks (lemon cello) to up...
