Apparently you’re not allowed order food if you sit outside at lunchtime here?! So I argued the point that the people next to us outside had food and...

The restaurant received a mix of reviews from customers who dined there. Some had a negative experience, with complaints about poor service, dirty chairs, lack of attention from staff, and disappointing food quality. One customer even went as far as to say they would never return. On the other hand, there were positive reviews praising the excellent food, attentive service, and friendly staff. Customers highlighted specific dishes they enjoyed, as well as mentioning staff members who went above and beyond to make their dining experience enjoyable. Despite the varied feedback, the restaurant seems to have some room for improvement but also has the potential to provide a great dining experience for those who visit.

The food in Bella Italia is good although if you go too frequently and have the same options, it becomes apparent how uniform, regular and slightly bland

This restaurant is part of the large Bella Italia chain, who premises are usually quite large but this one in Chester is really nice and small and intimate,
