Bella Pasta Restaurant

Advantages: Cheap, high quality
Disadvantages: None

Bella Pasta is a cheap and cheerful restaurant with a wide selection of Italian food. Its not the kind of place where you would want to spend all night relaxing with friends because its a bit too well lit and the chairs are not the most comfortable. Last time I was there the restaurant had both smoking and non-smoking areas, but that was before the new smoking laws came in, so I can't be sure if it is still divided up. The main part of a restaurant ...
...had any complaints there. The range on the menu is large. Of course it is mainly pizza and pasta, but there are many different types and there are always at least 3 specials that are not much more expensive than the menu prices. They do an amazing duck pizza with hoi sin sauce that has to be tried to be believed. And its all good value for money. The portions are big enough that you dont always have room for dessert, but they do have a good selection ... Read review

...My husband regularly goes out for lunch with his Mum (‘Mum and Son’ days as they are known) and although they talk about new and exciting places, they always seem to end up at the area about 2 minutes drive away called ‘Centre 27’. There are about 10 restaurants altogether in this area, and yet every time they go, they end up in Bella Pasta. Calling him a boring git the last time he did it, he explained that they think about going to other places, but end up at BP as it’s reasonably priced, near to home, always pretty empty, good car parking and most importantly the food is always nice. Last Bank Holiday, Ian wanted to treat me to a meal somewhere, despite me being on a diet, so he suggested going there. I’d been before, and to the Bella Pasta in Liverpool, but not for a long time, usually preferring Mexican if offered a meal out... Read review

...I recently visited Bella Pasta with my friend and her parents when we went up to Birmingham to see Westlife. We were wondering around Birmngham city centre and we decided to grab something to eat. So we found Bella Pasta and went in. When we entered the premises we were greeted by a member of staff who showed us to our table and she handed our menu's to us. The staff weren't pushy and gave us plenty of time to read the menu's and they let us make up our minds without having to be hurried. The menu had a wide range of different italian dishes like pizza's, pasta in sauces, seafood etc. The prices were reasonable but I thought they were high but that's exceptable because Bella Pasta isn't a restaurant like Pizza Hut, it is a proper restaurant. The menu was very well set out and was clear to read, the only problem was that the names... Read review

...Bella Italia, formerly known as Bella Pasta is a chain of Italian Restaurants, about 60 odd, throughout the country. I visited this restaurant last week with my fiancée while out shopping in Milton Keynes. The restaurant is located near the shops with pubs and other restaurants next to it. Appearance --------------- On walking through the doors, you are greeted with a two level restaurant, actually very large, it could probably fit between 80 and 100 people in it! The décor was very nice and well kept, in an Italian style, all brown and beige colours. We noticed that the kitchen is open view in the diner so that you can see the chefs cooking which is an excellent thing - provides safe knowledge of food and adds character to the restaurant. They also had quiet music on in the background which wasn't too harsh. The tables were... Read review
