Bella Italia Salford Quays

During our latest visit to this restaurant, we were disappointed with both the service and the food. My wife ordered a dish from the menu, but was informed that one of the components was unavailable. She agreed to a replacement of mushrooms, but when the meal arrived, it was missing the cheese that should have been included.

It was a great night as it was my birthday. Chris made us feel incredibly welcome and we will definitely be returning soon. The food was outstanding and you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The restaurant provided a warm welcome and overall good service, although we were disappointed that the waiter disappeared before we could request black pepper and parmesan. The pasta with porcini mushrooms was decent, but lacked depth of flavor. The Vesuvius dish was supposed to be spicy, but it was overpowering and masked all other flavors.

The staff and andy, our waiter, were very friendly and, as we were late, they ensured a very fast service so that we could get to the theater in time.

The staff at Bella Italia were very attentive and friendly. Food was great and was very impressed that they remembered a drink I had mentioned I fancied trying. Although the restaurant is in a shopping Centre it did not feel so as the restaurant had made it feel atmospheric and cosy at the same time.
