"Ate here prior to a show in Colchester. The food is very well cooked and the portions are huge. I opted for the Stifado while my partner had steak. We couldn’t finish either but we’re kindly offered a doggy bag if we wanted one, which was a nice touch. The staff were polite and attentive. The menu is small specialising in steak options supported by a selection of Cypriot/Greek staples, but I like that, in my mind it suggests they know what they are good at and stick to it. There was a definite buzz once it started filling up, I am guessing it has a good number of returning customers as people seemed to know each other. I was going to say the decor is a bit dated but since the place has been around since the 70s I am guessing that is how the locals like it and part of its character. Everything seemed very clean. So if you are in Colchester and feeling very hungry this is a great option. Price point at the time I ate here was around £25 a meal."

Wow, 1st visit for us, certainly won't be the last. The food was lovely. Husband had the rump steak which melted in your mouth. I had the garlic butter chicken which was very tasty. The waitress was very helpful, advising us not to order too many sides as portions are massive. You certainly won't go away hungry.

Three close friends went on our bi-monthly outing to Bella Pais for their excellent T-bone steak. We each received three perfectly cooked medium-rare steaks, served with sautéed potatoes, onion rings, mushrooms, and grilled tomatoes. All you need is a bit of English mustard and ketchup to enjoy the flawless meat. As always, top-notch experience!

For the starter my partner and I shared the Camembert wraps, they were incredible. I had the surf and turf with garlic prawns, the steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the prawns were delicious. The sides are generous portions, we had a side of chips and broccoli and they were lovely. Great value for money. We want to go back to try the Greek food.

I have visited this Greek Steak restaurant multiple times and recently brought a couple of friends along. We ordered three T-Bone steaks cooked perfectly medium-rare, delicious sides, excellent beer selection, and top-notch service. Overall, it is a fantastic restaurant and a must-visit for steak lovers. Additionally, the Greek cuisine offered is also very good. View menu

Bella Pais is beyond words the best steak house I've been to in many many years! My fillet was PERFECTLY cooked, so tender juicy! I didn't even need a sauce for it. Hubby had a huge T-Bone that he couldn't finish with sauteed potatoes peas. I had my fillet steak, scrumptious sauteed potatoes, broccoli salad. A perfect meal, plus the staff was so attentive courteous. We'll go back there if we ever get to visit Colchester again.

After reading all the great reviews, we thought we'd visit again after many years since our last visit. Restaurant decor: 2/10 very dated. Menu: 4/10 uninspiring. Restaurant: 2/10 tables are very close together, we had a table for 2, and both of us were seated, so we were looking at a wall with our backs to the room. Food: 6/10 arrived hot but disappointing lacking in flavour. Price: 3/10 more than we would usually pay for the quality of the food. Would we recommend it or return again soon? No, sorry we wouldn't.

It has been a while since we had been to Bella Pais, but on a Sunday evening it was packed as usual but still a warm welcome was received. We opted for prawn cocktail, king prawns and halloumi for starters, which all went down extremely well. The starters are on the larger side of portions. Mains were the chicken kebab and t-bone steak. The steak was huge, cooked a perfect medium rare and was seasoned well. The sides of chips, salads and sauce simply served to fill us up even more. Great food, decent prices and the same friendly, personable service as always.

My extended family regularly visits this restaurant, despite commuting from Clacton On Sea. As newcomers, we were unsure of what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The menu is Greek Cypriot style, although it is now run by non-Greek Cypriots. However, they have maintained the original menu, which we believe makes it even better. I ordered the garlic bread, which was a large pitta toasted, chopped, and smothered in a delicious buttery garlic sauce. Simple but fantastic. My wife had the prawn cocktail starter, which was so generous it could pass as a main meal. We all chose the sirloin steaks, and they did not disappoint. They were juicy, tender, large, and cooked to perfection. My m...

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"
