Bella Italia - Southend-on-Sea

I stopped by for lunch on a Friday and was concerned when I saw that the restaurant appeared quiet from the outside. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and excellent service.

The experience at Bella Italia was just okay. I wasn't expecting much, and unfortunately, my starter came out cold, the main dish was average, and the service was slow.

I love this place for what it isIt has a nice feel to it, the food is nearly always lovely and the service is nearly always lovely.

The portion sizes at this restaurant are generous, especially their pizza, and the service is very attentive. It's a place you will want to return to again and again.
