"Terrible booking system. Booked online for 2:15 Mothers Day, get called from the restaurant asking us to pre order and pay a deposit, which we did. Once this was done they tried pushing our booking back as much as possible. We didn’t want to but ended up feeling like we had to so agreed to change to 3pm. Then they tried to move our table outside despite it being early March and one of the guests being 87. And they just kept saying how busy they were. That’s not our problem, they shouldn’t have took the booking if they couldn’t cope with it. The day before we came we received a reminder text of the table being booked for 2:15 so we had to ring up again to check what time the table was now for and were told 3pm. When we arrived there were people in front of us who had not got the message about pre ordering or paying a deposit and were told they had cancelled their reservation as a result. The guy was really rude telling them how it was their fault because he left a message and no one had called them back and the family were then worried they would have nowhere to eat as everywhere else would obviously be booked at that point. This whole process was not clear through the booking system and we were not aware either until we got the call ourselves. We were then told to which table to sit on, no one came over and it took 20 minutes until we even got a drink. On the set menu it said a free glass of fizz to all the Mums, but this was never offered to us (there were three mums in our group). The starters were tight on portions considering it wasn’t cheap. The mains were fine and the desert was nice. Also, our kids were charged the half price set menu (which was the kids option) even though they only had a main and desert, and not a starter. So there was no reduction in cost for them even though they had not asked us if they wanted a starter. They then brought out the kids mains the same time as they adult starters. Service was really slow, and plates were left on the table for a long time after we finished. 10% service charge was put on the bill, which I thought was a joke as we barely had any service while we were there. I would have gave feedback on the day if anyone at any point had asked how things were, but they didn’t. Which just demonstrated the level of service we received. From the booking process to dining, we were made to feel like an inconvenience, which really soured things when it is meant to be a nice day. Overall a really bad experience and won’t be going back."

"I don't think Ciao Bella knows what it wants to be, Is it an italian, a carvery or a steakhouse? When my partner I visited on a Wednesday we were seated and asked what drinks we would like, I asked what lager is on...tap, they said just Carling, which for an Italian is pretty unusual, was kind of expecting Peroni or tti, but as that was the only choice that's what we had, some water was supposed to come but only the Carling turned up so had to ask for water again, then another two Carling came over and the girl looked very confused that we already had our drinks and then kind of stared at us for a bit from the bar, along with a few other staff, bit off putting being stared at but ok. couple of menu's were handed to us, regular menu and a steak night menu, we wanted Italian so kept with the Italian menu, we ordered our starter which was a calamari to share, really greasy and loads of garlic but edible, then mains we both had penne pasta rustica, it was alright, but unfortunately loads of garlic again, ingredients seemed like the cheap processed meat but again was edible, staff only came over to ask if everything ok with the meal once we had finished. Toilets had no toilet paper and we were one of the first in to be seated so obviously hadn't been checked, the decor is weird, seems more like a tiki hut kind of place rather than somewhere you would visit in Italy, although it was clean and well kept. Shame as I really wanted this to be a regular place we could visit as there aren't many decent Italian Restaurants around the area. Didn't have dessert as we were getting a bit paranoid being stared at and the not so great food and service, won't return but hopefully they can concentrate on being an Italian that serves good quality food and drink with good service in the future."
