"We love Vita Bella it is al real gem and the location it is amazing! The first time I ate at this restaurant was back in the 2018 where I celebrated my birthday and from there when we have the chance we enjoy to spend time here , the food is superb. They use top ingredients and it is hard to find place outside London that offers this quality. I 'm Italian and I 'm very pleased to find real italian wines and products at Vita Bella it reminds me home. We always had received great parking guidance a very nice touch) , then a very friendly welcome at the door. The menu is rich and vast vegetarian, vegan etc) and they can please every palate. This time I had the chance to taste Gnocchi alla Salsiccia they are amazing I love it. But my really true love at this restaurant is the Filetto. I like it with the mushrooms and rare but today I tried the Rossini and it was so good, you can feel the meat melting in your mouth from how tender and taste it is. I cannot recommend highly enough how good this restaurant is. From the owner a very professional and lovely person and all the staff who are friendly, discreet and mindful. A really indipendent business that works hard and you can see how great it is. Well done! GRAZIE."

"The food was tasty and portion sizes meant a starter and large main left us feeling pleasantly full however... I would unfortunately say that though the waiters were polite and good with providing drinks (using the service button on the table to get their attention), getting food was incredibly slow. We were a group of 10 and had booked a couple of weeks in advance we ordered starters and mains, but despite having a 7pm booking we didn't get mains until around 9pm. It was fine but noticeably slow with no mention of a wait when booking our table, or updates from staff on how long it'd be. It made matters worse as we saw other people turn up after we ordered, and still receive their starters and mains before we had ours. We'll likely go back, but definitely in smaller groups."

"The wine selection is impressive, and as for the food—let me just say, the chef certainly knows how to prepare pork! We both indulged in the same main dish because we're both fans of belly pork, and we were absolutely not disappointed. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! We enjoyed a three-course meal along with a nice bottle of Merlot, totaling £85 including tip. Honestly, given the quality of the food we had the pleasure of enjoying, that price is hardly extravagant these days. We will definitely be returning and won't hesitate to recommend this wonderful little restaurant to others. As a chef myself, I always seek out excellent food, and I left feeling satisfied, full, and quite inspired."

"Lovely olde English beamed pub with GK Abbot IPA on hand pump. Best of all was the incredible food. Had liver n bacon with red wine onion gravy and fat chips. Stunningly tasty and elevated from trad English menu status to very fine dining. My wife had bass with sautéed new potatoes with lemon and garlic caper sauce asparagus, which she said was superb. Quite honestly, from the outside we expected scampi chips and 2 old boys playing dommys in the bar. How wrong were we: this is an extremely fine restaurant with a comforting pub vibe. Well done we can't wait to re visit!"

"Not the best experience or food if I am totally honest. As I entered the bar area i didn't quite know where the restaurant was, there were no signs.. I walked further down and could see the restaurant. I waited at the front to be seen to but no-one approached me, so i made my way back to the bar and explained i had a booking. I was told to take a seat at the bar. As i was waiting I could see guests were leaving after a wake. I did wait a good few minutes for our table, after asking if we can be seen to our table.. the restaurant area was still in a mess after the wake.. no tables were set up. So my friend and i went back to the bar and waited. When we finally sat down we were served. Food did arrive quickly.. Food was ok, not the best flavour or presentation.. especially the ravioli which was the most disappointing dish. There was no ambience in the restaurant.. no gentle background music or anything. The service was very good, all waiters seemed friendly and helpful. Pub itself looked quite nice once tidied and with candles lite during the evening."
