Bella Maria Broughton

Ate here on Wednesday night, the food was ok nothing special and I thought the portion was quiet small. I had lasagne which came in a small bowl with salad. The lasagne was stuck to the bowl (burnt around the edges) which wasn’t the best. The garlic bread was a good size but a bit bland.

The temperature in the restaurant was freezing, I could see the thermostat on the wall from where I sat and it was 16.5 🥶

Beautiful quality pizza made from fresh ingredients sourced directly from Italy I hear. The wife had the pizza which I snatched a couple of slices, and I had the paella which was also delicious. Loved the food and the drinks. Overall 5 star experience.

Was very busy Friday night. Waited 25 minutes to get a drink.
Wrong drinks came and I think maybe the bar staff need to check the cocktail ingredients.
The food was delicious and lots of it, and so much choice on the menu.
The manager was lovely and apologised for the service.
Would not put me off going again as the service is usually very good.

Went here for a midweek meal. Service was bizarre. Ordered a Diet Coke for £3.50 which came 3/4 full. Empty drinks for the duration of the dinner with with staff wandering aimlessly, only once we had finished with the food someone came and asked if we would like more. Ordered a portion of fries as a side which came 10 minutes before the mains. The pizza was okay but the paella was so oily I could only eat the top and had to scrape the other half to one side of the dish so the oil could sit at one side. £40 for 2 people for only main courses was over priced for the quality of the food and service.

Well quite a pleasant early dinner really! So the food is excellent, the young staff really knowledgeable and could not help more. The waitress dealing with us was exceptional! I hope they pay her well.

The restaurant itself if clean and fairly minimalist. I spotted the excellent clay pizza oven. Proper job !
My only negative is this... They have their countries mixed up. Tapas and pealla? In Italy? And they didn't have traditional full plate Italian dishes at all?? All Tapas style small plates. I found that odd and rather unexpected, never the less it was really nice.

We enjoyed our dinner at Bella Maria, the food was good quality.

I would recommend getting at least two dishes per person as the portions run small but it is tapas after all.

My critique is the same as previous reviews. The tapas is Italian tapas? It was a little confusing but still delicious.

The service was great, there’s a 10% automatic service charge on the bill which we don’t typically do in Britain but I didn’t mind too much as it was good service.

What a stunning place. The meal was absolutely stunning. On arrival we was given discount codes , the service was perfect. My pizza was easily the best ive had.

Visited their newly opened restaurant at the capitol centre. The food was delicious and the room was lovely and toasty and warm - unfortunately now nolonger the norm in all restaurants! The manager is obviously doing a good job overseeing things but I'd like to see the waitresses a little more relaxed. Look forward to their Broughton restaurant reopening with the same quality food. Thank you 🎄
