"with women and children, there was only one table that was concerned, we ordered the sultan mix grill for the 4 of us it was something on the expensive side in comparison to some and outer london area for Turkish food. when the plates arrived, it was well presented, meat was nice and tenderly cooked, and portion generous. service was fast and efficient. negatiw will tip them a water delivered in 150ml glass when asked to jugs was said that they have no jugs, so either they give water in storage glass as I did not constantly ask personal."

"A visit with customers on business. Yet another evening, enjoying the hospitality of Felice and his team at Bella Roma. Fantastic food, service and ambience and a great night, spent having a good craic with some of our favourite customers. So good to be out with colleagues and enjoying a normal evening. They have a varied menu and every dish I have ever had here has been lovely. Here's to many more visits (must be in double figures by now)."

"The food was lovely, but there were several items missing from their small menu, one of our party had to wait an extra 10 mins for their pizza after we had been served to which we were told our sides would be removed from the bill and they were not and we were told we needed to order our desserts at 9pm (before we were finished our mains) because the Chef needed to catch a bus! To top it off we were bothered for 45 mins by a drunk American guy who pulled up a chair for the last 30 mins to which the waitress did not do much about and allowed it to continue. I've heard similar stories of kitchen closing early and items unaivalable which is a real shame as the food is generally good."

"I've been going to the Holborn La Porchetta for over a year now, probably been or times, roughly, and I just keep finding more and more great food on the menu. For a long time I had the mushroom risotto, which is excellent. There are two recipes, one is tomatoey, and the older recipe, which they will do if you ask, if more based on red wine, and I prefer this one. More recently I've discovered two tagliatelle dishes one with salmon and cream, which is excellent, and another tagliatelle boscaiola, with fresh porcini mushrooms, minced pork, and cream is simply stunning, one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had. Other highlights from the menu are a chicken calzone with mozzarella and a vegetable calzone with even more mozzarella. The staff are wonderful, very welcoming. I love this place, would be quite happy to eat here every day of the week."

"Popped in for lunch, it was pretty busy but service was attentive and friendly. We had the standard vegan one and a marinara with vegan cheese on a gf blue corn base. A bit pricey but huge pizzas (we ended up taking 1/2 back home for later) and excellent quality, tasty, fresh and interesting ingredients . Really tasty vegan cheese and exciting to have a range of gf bases that tasted really good."

"If you want to go for a nice cocktail this is not the place to go I’m sorry. I drunk it because I’m the type of person that it doesn’t complain but this “Mai tai” was an orange juice with ice and some foam. My husband had complained about his drink as he want having it. We live at Pan peninsula so we were giving it a try but after this definitely not coming back. I give it two starts because of the service the waiter was amazing and kind however the bar staff wasn’t really fiendly"
"Oh my god, it was a year ago when we visited last. The food then was brilliant, but this surpassed every expectation. The sardines as a starter and the garlic and chilli prawns which we kind of shared were outstanding, I had the veal as my main with black olives and capers in a rich sauce, I’m still dreaming of it, the other half had the seafood pasta, he wouldn’t give me a taste as he hugged his bowl with a broad grin on his face, so took that to be a hit. Dessert I had the lightest tiramisu ever, he had I don’t know what, he wouldn’t tell me, but it was so delicious, he admitted in the car on the way home he had just taken a stab at the desert menu as had forgotten his glasses, but I’m glad he did."

"This restaurant delivered a pizza to my house by mistake, the pizza was meant to be for a house, about four doors away from me. I was cooking BBQ food in the garden when there was a knock at the door, which my wife answered. Her son who was working upstairs, has takeaway food delivered at least three time a week. She accepted the delivery, thinking it was for him, she called out to him and he replied that he hadn't ordered anything. She asked me, I said no, of course not. I checked the delivery for signs of where it had come from of where it was supposed to be. There were no indications at all, no phone numbers, no restaurant name, no receipt and no delivery note. I said leave it there, they will come back when the mistake is spotted. 40 minutes went by and there was a knock at the door. A very angry man asking me if we had received a food delivery. He was the person who placed the order. I told him we had and explained what had happened. He calmed down a little, I asked him if he wanted the food, he said no, not now. It was then that I decided to compost the food and recycle the cardboard. 10 minutes later another knock and another angry person, this time from the restaurant. Again I explained what had happened but I got the impression he did not believe me, he walked away shaking his head, I asked him where had he and the food come from. He told me Plenty in Hampton. My initial thoughts were surprise, as I was busy cooking. However later I was angry. Angry that the restaurant gave out my number and angry that I was questioned by the manager/owner or whoever he was. Surely they should have printed a receipt or delivery note and surely giving out my address was very wrong."

"The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Just a heads up: you don't need to order any sides with your main course, as it already comes with potatoes, vegetables, and salad. We weren't aware of that and ended up with a large takeout bag that we donated to the homeless."

"Lovely food. Lovely staff. Highly recommend the mussels in white wine as your starter, they are fabulous . The price is extremely reasonable and be certain that you won't be waiting between courses. As a regular, I can honestly say that there has only been a single occasion where the main course was not up to the standard expected and the staff were so shocked and apologetic and did everything they could to make it right, including not charging and offering to make a new dish. When I declined, they brought complimentary drinks and every visit since has been wonderful. That was 100 percent an isolated incident and the food and service before and after has been second to none. Couldn't recommend it more. Go, enjoy."

"visited here with 5 friends and after a bit of a shaky start (it took the waitress 3 attempts to get a white wine spritzer, with soda, correct) the meal was lovely. Although there were 6 of us we weren't kept waiting and the food order was correct as well as everyone enjoying their starters and main meals (we didn't have desserts)."

"I throughly enjoyed my recent visit to this restaurant. A warm welcome was received upon arrival and instantly you are made to feel welcome. There were so many gluten free options, that I struggled to decide on what to have. I went for the ravioli in the end. It was delicious. The rest of my family had different dishes and these all looked lovely. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Desserts again were lovely and I found the meal reasonably priced. We were not rushed to leave and all the staff were so friendly. I do love going to family run businesses rather than a restaurant chain. I can't wait to return to try out the rest of the menu."

"Went here randomly as the nearest place to where I met a business partner... and was blown away by the food quality and service. The staff were fantastic attentive and engaging, and clearly very experienced. The price seemed impossibly good for such high quality meals, with very decent portion sizes. The spicy chicken penne was amazing. The tomatoes tasted very real and the aroma reminded me of my Mediterranean heritage. The pizzas looked amazing too, freshly made on site from scratch, baked in view of the seating area, and a very good size considering the price and attention to detail. No silent adding of tips to the bill was the icing on the cake."

"It's not a fancy location, but it's a welcoming Italian restaurant that offers good food. It's also conveniently located for those attending performances at Sadler's Wells."

"GOOD FOOD TERRIBLE SERVICE I was looking for somewhere local to Wembley stadium. I had an overseas guest visiting who had tickets to a Wembley event. There were only 4 tables seated when we arrived. I had to ask could we order after 20 minutes of waiting. Whilst we were waiting for our starters another table (6 guests) were seated, orders taken and served. I chased our order. It took a total hour for our starters to arrive. Thankfully they were worth waiting for. Fresh crisp calamari, although unfortunately I was also given lemon mayonnaise despite advising I could not have any citrus. The cheesy garlic bread was also delicious. Very large portion, but you can imagine we were pretty hungry by this point. Meanwhile 2 other tables (2 guests and 10 guests) arrived and were served. I again chased our order. The table of 6 that arrived after us were served, had eaten and left before our main course arrived. The table of 2 and 10 also had their mains before us. By now were were running short of time and asked that our main course be brought as soon as possible, and not wait until we had finished our starters. That didn't happen. We had to ask again. The spaghetti bolognese was delicious, and would have been perfect with a sprinkling of parmesan, which we weren't offered. The lamb shank was not the best that I have had. The potatoes with which it was served were a little too watery, not the soft peaks that I was expecting. Although I had not been to Gusto before, the review online was positive, whilst warning about the slow service, which is why I allowed 2 hours. It took 2 1/2 hours, and that was with my questioning. It would have been far worse had I not done so. I can't imagine how bad it would be on a busy night. Perhaps that is why it was quiet on a Saturday night. When we went in I was impressed and hoped that I had found a new restaurant to regularly visit. Sadly it was my first and will be my last visit."

"Just want to take a minute to say thank you for contributing so brilliantly to my sisters hen do. A party of 11, 10 pre-orders and the hen who chose when she arrived. We had a mixture of starters and mains and mains and puddings. None of us had been to your restaurant before and I think it’s fair to say most of us can’t wait to come back; I know that’s definitely where I stand on that one! Your staff were attentive but not on top of us, we weren’t rushed and it was very relaxed. As for the food...WOW! Trying to explain to my husband just how amazing it was is hard! It was delicious. Best meal I’ve had out in Bedford for a long time. Thank you again and see you soon."
