"This was our first and last visit to the restaurant. My wife and I ordered steak that would have required a chainsaw to cut through. Our two daughters ordered meatballs but were instead served spaghetti bolognese. To their credit, they didn’t mind and accepted the mix-up. The waitress was polite and apologized about the steaks, but unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. One steak was so tough that it was like chewing on an old boot. We decided against dessert, not wanting to waste any more money. The only redeeming feature of our meal was the Stella Artois, which was perfectly chilled. We came to Birmingham after visiting Cadbury World in North Wales for a birthday treat, hoping to finish our day at a nice restaurant. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations."

"This was my first time dining here before heading to the theatre, and I have to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. The staff were excellent, especially the woman who served us. I don't know her name, but with employees like her, I will definitely be coming back."

"First visit and probably my last,wasn’t impressed at all with the presentation of my pizza,I did ask the server if the pizzas were thin she said yes,but didn’t think they would be as thin as they were ,also very insipid looking not very appetising to look at, I ordered a margarita pizza which I asked for olives which were green first time Ive had green olives on my pizza, also red onions which were chopped up into small pieces, when the pizza arrived at the table my plate underneath was black from the oven,and my pizza bottom was black as well not burnt black ash from the oven not appetising at all,I did take photographs of it, spoke to the server and told her to tell the chef, but it was like nobody cared, very poor show. Also your toilets were a mess toilet paper all over the floor no soap to wash your hands .Look at the pic and see if you would like that?"

"Picture the scene. It was a cold and windy Friday morning. My good lady and myself braved the long and dangerous journey to Hereford in search of gifts for our sons birthday. The unforgiving weather forced us to seek shelter, so we did in this establishment. After a brief wait (despite the place being empty! we were seated and our order was taken. Boom. As fast as lightning our beverages arrived. Mine a black coffee, for my wife a tea. Our breakfasts arrived and immediately I felt happy and sad at the same time. The food looked nice which made me happy. Sausage, egg, spuds and mushrooms all looked good. The bacon was slightly undercooked for my taste but what really made me sad was the fact that the beans were seperated from the rest of the food and were imprisoned in a bowl! A bowl! I mean why? If I wanted the beans seperated from my eggs I would use the sausage as a breakwater but I 'd like it to be my choice. Anyway, I soon freed the beans and poured them from the bowl of hate and they mingled on the plate with the rest of the ingredients. Long story short, the breakie was good, and only a fiver too. If you can get over the 'beans segregation policy ' you might enjoy the breakfasts too. I have enclosed a photo for your viewing pleasure. Not of the beans but of the view from my table looking upwards. Many thanks, hope you have enjoyed this review. If so please shout 'FREE THE BEANS ' as loud as you like."

"our party of 9 celebrated here tonight a birthday, first visit for most of us and I must say we had an amazing time. the personal was very friendly and fun with the children. eating was absolutely amazing. not only was delicious, but it was so full. I can honestly say that this is now my 'go to' place for a meal. so many people have been telling me for years how good it is and I can now say that they are right. a massive thank you to all those who make our evening spectacular"

"I like Frankie and Benny's and have eaten their many times but this was not one of the best. firstly your website said it was fully booked and I only got a table on open table, when we got to the restaurant it was empty, but my main complaint was that my clazone pizza was not cooked properly, the cheese which made up the bulk of the filling was not melted, in fact it still looked like grated cheese. Not once was I asked how the meal was which you normally ask so many times that is gets boring however on this occasion I actually wanted to say something. luckily as cheese and all the meats could be eaten cold there was no problem eating an under cooked clazone pizza"

"Wagamama is always a great cry for vegans. I was in a variety of chain restaurants and I’m not usually impressed by their vegan options, but Wagamama seems to really care about providing thoughts, interesting vegan dishes, not only those who supply Omnivores on the menu for vegans. Usually there is also a separate vegan menu, although this branch had mixed all options on the same menu. I don't know if this is only specific to this branch or a nationwide change, but it was disappointing as the fully vegan menus are really great. That said they still had the usual options and I went for my favorite the yasai katsu curry. I also have green tea that is free! The Yasai-Kkatsu was tasty, not as good as in previous branches that I had eaten, but I would still recommend there was an attempt to give as it is usually really delicious. My fiancée also didn't love her ducks Donburi!"

"My family and I have been regular customers at F&B's Didsbury for quite some time now, in fact, it's been years! The deals they offer are always fantastic. I have never had a meal here that didn't taste good, and if there have ever been any issues, the staff have always gone above and beyond to make it right. I would have to say that the best thing about this place is the staff. They always greet us by name and make our experience feel personalized. They are also very eager to keep us as loyal customers, which we don't mind at all! They are very accommodating when it comes to special requests with our orders, and they have a great selection for vegans as well. It's nice to see familiar faces every time we visit, and there is no doubt that my family will continue to come back here. Keep up the great work!"

"I went for a business lunch, and although I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, I would be hard pressed to say it was an excellent one the portion sizes were a little hit and miss (very large side orders, but the starters felt a little small), and the service was not top notch. Being an Italian restaurant, I would have expected the waitress to know what a Negroni was, but that aside, things like the water not being left on the table and them forgetting to bring sides with the main course and needing to be reminded let the service down. It was not overly busy on the day we went, so there is room for improvement. There was nothing wrong with the food when it did arrive. Still, we didn't order anything out of the ordinary and having been to a few Italian restaurants recently, Bella Cosa, unfortunately, didn't figure high up on the places visited, which is a shame. Maybe it was an off day but overall as I say, although not a bad experience I couldn't say it was a great one."

"a couple of times. not the best eating and personal hard to catch to get any kind of quality service. very loud music cones on freezing and courteous inquiries to turn one down, and the other up have been answered with this, is as it always sticky tables, lip pen on glass, not mine. minutes for net that were not good quality. commentary of waitress are not very hungry, since it has collected the overcooked dried pasta and burned garlic bread. Try it again."

"We prebooked a bottomless brunch special, but the physical menus differ from the online one. We asked our waiter to explicitly (and repeatedly) confirm what we could order as part of the deal only to find our bill £80 more than what we thought it would be. It turned out the items were not part of the special, and it was our fault somehow and the manager wouldn't speak with the waiter to confirm what they had told us despite us asking them to do it twice. Food was fine but it was such a negative end that we cancelled plans to return with a larger group. They've lost out."

"This is a nice Italian restaurant, on two levels, with Pizza style restaurant downstairs and fine dining upstairs. The menu prices are reasonable, although wines are a little expensive. The Octopus and the Rabbit Ragu were the standout dishes, although the purple potato puree was not a nice accompaniment to the Octopus main course and the warm Octopus salad starter was a better combination. Pasts was al dente, as I like it, but possible too firm for some taste. Service was good, although the maitre'd explained he was teaching someone, so we showed her some leniency. Main downside was a lack of diners, which was surprising for a Saturday night, so the ambience was rather muted. It is out the way for Canary Wharf, but was close to our hotel."
"I typically enjoy Frankie and Benny's and have dined there frequently, but my recent experience was not the best. Initially, the website indicated that the restaurant was fully booked, but we were able to secure a table through OpenTable. When we arrived, the restaurant was only 70% full. However, my main issue was with the Clazon pizza I ordered, as it was not cooked properly. The cheese, which was the main component of the filling, was not melted and appeared to still be in solid form. I was not even asked how my food was, which is unusual for this restaurant, as they typically check in frequently. Despite the pizza being undercooked, I was able to eat it as the cheese and meats were still edible when cold."

"This is not a place to go if you value your time. If you don't and want a cheap meal out and yes, this is the place for you. Though I will weep for your tastebuds. We went to this restaurant about 90 minutes before our movie was to start. There were 4 booths empty and a whole set of tables empty as well, so I thought it wouldn't be long before we'd get a table. The Hostess gave us a buzzer and told us it would be a 15 minute wait and we can sit at the bar area for drinks and wait. I hate it when restaurants do this, shuffling patrons over to the bar area, where invariably the drinks are overpriced. That 15 minute wait turned into 28 minutes. When I went up to the Hostess and complained magically they were able to seat us. Our waitress was very prompt with our drinks order and food order. So kudos to her, whoever she is. My companion had a burger and chips two small onion rings. I ordered the spagetti bolognese (but with penne pasta instead). My companion's burger looks pretty good it had cheese and bacon and looked juicy. Mine looked like they used some store bought jar sauce, and it tasted like it. For the pleasure of rather unappetizing pasta I paid the glorious amount of £8.95. I value it at £2. as the pasta wasn't fresh and neither was the sauce. Don't come here if you value your time. There are better ways to spend your time."

"frankie benny is generally good. eating in this special restaurant is pleasant: I had some great ribs from here, with many super sweet BBQ sauce. on a separate occasion I ordered to start a garlic bead, and a pizza for my pornstar. When the starter came out, I thought it was the main thing. frankie bennys garlic bread is in the round a pizza base with a garlic mixture above. I probably saw everyone eating pizza after pizza. still, very pleasant. a part of the service I had at f b was completely perfect. Some don't. it seems to be a bit hit and miss in this opposite. I like the 50s decoration and style of layout, it is something else."

"We had a reservation at 3:15 on GCSE results day because we wanted to get free pizza. The manager came out yelling at us all and was very rude, he told us to come back in an hour without providing an explanation. This meant we had to wait outside for an hour in the rain whilst very hungry. After an hour we went inside only to find out they had run out of pizza. This meant we were unable to claim the free lunch that was offered and instead had to go elsewhere. The manager was very rude and yelled at multiple of us and did not give us all the information he had, meaning we were confused the entire time. I would not recommend eating here. This did not only happen to my group but also affected the numerous other students waiting to claim their free pizza."

"I made a reservation through OpenTable to coordinate with our movie schedule. When we arrived, they informed us there was no record of our reservation and that they had never heard of OpenTable. I was very disappointed with the way the reception was handled."
