Bella Italia Plymouth, Barbican Leisure Park

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.

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.

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

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 :

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.
