Bella Italia - Tameside

Wasnt worth the visit, food was very dry and not much taste. Wont go again. Felt better when I got rid of it and shot it back out. Might return it tomorrow for a refund.

Myself and my partner visited a few months ago and had some great service that I thought I would review. We had Ivette as our server and she was so pleasant and helpful, one of the loveliest servers we’ve had! The food was great too, will definitely come again! :

Service was poor, food took nearly an hour, they kept saying it’s on its way then finally apologised and said our order ticket got lost, unbelievable! Food was bland, staff not great, never will I step foot in any Bella italia again!

I don’t like to leave bad reviews but overall we had a disappointing experience here for a birthday meal. On arrival of our flatbreads we noticed they must have been mistaken as we ordered the garlic cheese one and this had no cheese. We queried this with our waitress to which she said there was cheese they are trying out a new kind which you can’t really see?!!! She then pointed to a few tiny bubbles said that was it…she looked embarrassed trying to explain about the invisible cheese and it was absolutely baffling. Our mains arrived and the pasta dishes lacked any sauce, they were dry with little to no flavour. We sent one meal back as it was so dry and it came back shortly after with a tiny bit more sauce added. One of our party had a Margarita pizza and you guessed it…the invisible cheese Struck again! Dry and lacking any topping. For a very expensive bill this just isn’t good enough…I’ve eaten at other Bella Italias and enjoyed my meals so I’m not sure what is going wrong here. Maybe a cost of living effect they are scrimping on toppings contents? The staff were friendly and obviously not their fault which is why it gets 2 stars but I’m sorry to say we won’t ever return.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Awful food, the ‘new recipe pollo pasta’ was children’s pasta microwaved with a cup of soup poured on top. I’ve never tasted something so disgusting, both pasta meals were microwaved. I’ve tasted nicer Tesco ready meals. Was told my meal would be taken of the order and wouldn’t have to pay, however I still managed to be charged £50 for food that was revolting that got sent back!! There are so many other lovely restaurants in the area, spend an extra £20 and you could have 4 beautiful steaks from miller and carter, £20 less for a beaut meal from Wagamamas next door. This place needs closing down and turning into something else, because every inch of food was pathetic to be served with them price tags. Please don’t waste your time. If you fancy an Italian, this place made me realise I’ll just stay home and make my own.
