Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Had a lovely time and the service was unbelievable but I ordered the “beef curtains” off the chef’s special menu and the were overdone. Nice and juicy though.

First class food and service

The Bella Cosa team were extremely warm, and couldn't do enough for us to make us feel welcome and catered to all our needs. The food was first class. Every one of the 37 people in our party were very impressed with the quality of food. Special thank you to Vaishu and the team for pulling out all the stops to make our Christmas dinner a roaring success. Looking forward to coming back next year x

Very bad service

Together with my husband Rady, I booked a table for 5 adults and 2 kids for Saturday the 12th of November from 6PM to celebrate my birthday.

Issues:
1. We asked for the pizza to not be spicy at all as the pizza will be for the child. They brought us a very spicy pizza.
2. I brought a cheesecake with apricot (cake bought from Paul) ans I asked them to place the cake in the fridge until we will need it at the end. They didn't put the cake in the fridge, the cheesecake and apricots were nearly melting down.. Because of this, it was very hard to cut the cake in slices.. The taste changed as well, as they kept the cake outside and it was very warm..
3. I brought in candels to be used on the top of the cake and I asked them to use all the candles.. They light 4 candles only because they were lazy and didn't care about my request.. I felt weird to see 4 candles on my cake..
At the end because I asked about the remaining candles they brought back part of them..
4. Bella Cosa added automatically on top of the bill their tips, eveb though the service was horrible.. Bringing our bill up to over GBP 200.

5. We ordered 5 glasses of perenoni beer.. 2 of them came with some small solid bits that were quite at the end of the glass.. We asked them what is happening as the other glasses were ok. They said that they don't know.. We asked for the 2 glasses of beer to be replaced with 2 bottles of peroni. One bottle came in very fast and the other bottle didn't arrive at all.. I had to ask 3 times so that they can bring the 2nd beer.. One of my guests remained without drink quite a while.. Because of this incident.. If you see that something is not ok, you should apologise, and replace asap both of the glasses..
6. We were not provided kids menu and we had to order big portions for the 2 little kids...

7. Very bad service, I won't recommend this place to anyone..

Outstanding waiter

I was at the restaurant earlier today and had a great time with friends. Food was tasty, but even more than that the one waiter who was there was incredibly patient, calm, attentive and very helpful. He responded extremely clearly to any questions we had and when I asked if there was a space that I could pray, he calmly took me upstairs and showed me a private area, and I really appreciated this. His responded did not make me feel like a burden for asking questions, which is exactly the type of experience I want to have at a restaurant. I do not know his name, but he seemed to be the only waiter working at that time and I wanted the staff to know that he provided us all a very positive experience. Thank you!

One of my favourite restaurants to go to- food is amazing and somehow the service is even better! Huge thanks to the waiters, especially Leo and Sunil who are always extremely helpful with their overall service. Great selection of drinks available as well and would definitely recommend Bella Cosa.

First Impressions - WOW!

I hosted my very FIRST Bridal Shower EVER here and I am truly impressed by the service that they provided. Sunil (the manager) was consistently available, giving me updates and putting up with my incessant texts and phone calls to get everything ready in just a few days! Every query or question I had, was answered within the hour or later, on the same day, every request I made was executed perfectly - he even gave me some suggestions of what I could do/have.

I was even allowed to leave some stuff at the restaurant the night before, just to make things easier for me. When the event day came, he and Leo (our waiter) was extremely helpful and responded proactively to every need we had.

So, if you're planning an intimate dining experience with great food and service to go nicely with good company - choose Bella Cosa!
