Went before seeing a film and service was friendly enough if a bit by the script (asked three times if we had allergies). Food however was very disappointing especially at the price.

Food was alright, came out fairly quickly but the waiter who served us was brilliant. Polite, friendly, quick with drinks and overall a lovely man.

We enjoyed the team gathering at lovely Bella Basildon. We have chosen again this restaurant because of the friendliness of the staff, warm atmosphere and because we know that the food is fresh and made with passion here! ??Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating!

Food / some of the courses were poor to average. Even when dining in a Italian chain restaurant I do not expect to be served ?smooth? shell, frozen meatballs only half smothered in what is an decent sauce to disguise them, we?re they even real meat? I do not recall these being as bad in other Bella Italia restaurants.Feels like this restaurant or the business of late are sourcing ingredients from lesser suppliers in a bid to increase profits.Why did they drop their wonderful crab ball starter off the menu?Olives served without any cocktail sticks when raised we were told that the entire restaurant, it has what is supposed to be a functioning bar, does not have any in. My Light ?N? Stormy cocktail was fine but had two wedges of browned limes in, seriously- how long does it take for citrus to spoil like that then - if they are then don?t put them in someone?s cocktail.The tiramisu martini we sent back and we?re told that they didn?t have the correct ingredients, clearly tried to make it up with watery ingredients.Hardly surprising going by the three tiramisu?s that we were served for our final courses they had no idea what one was supposed to be like (see earlier review by another customer, they weren?t wrong!) - the worse tiramisu we?ve had since being served a plate of chocolate-dusted shaving foam in a Miller & Carter (Lakeside, before it sank).Main courses were fine, the chicken Milanese very tasty as always. Porchetta pasta Christmas special was OK.The Basildon Bella Italia served up the polar opposite, just as terrible, sent two of them back and requested one be taken off the bill. Dry and barely any mascarpone to be seen.Really unfair on the staff as they were fine but unable to offer the best service.

Our first visit was staying for the weekend with family. Quite busy when arrived, big groups, families and couples. Lucky to get a table. The staff was attentive and very polite. Ordered food, Marco Polo & Pizza and tea for 2. I was surprised that food came within 20 minutes, seeing the amount of tables. Good was on point, fresh, flavourful and ££ price too. I definitely recommend it to friends ***** stars!

We had a table booked for 4 of us to celebrate our son's 3rd birthday. Service was attentive, polite, not in your face :) throughout our lunch. The food was nice for all - adults and children. Would've been nice if there were more customers in the restaurant for a bit of atmosphere but saying that we had a great time (considering we were with kids ages 3 and 4:))!

Ordered a pizza that took ages to arrive, and when it did, it looked like it was reheated in the microwave. The service was terribly slow, and the food was bad. After deciding to leave with the food unfinished and have dinner elsewhere, I was asked to leave a tip.Vegetarian options: Far and few

Came here for a quick lunch with a family, staff was efficient, waitress Kayla was polite and helpful. Great food as usual too

Very disappointed with both pasta and tiramisu. The pasta dish had hardly any sauce and the mushrooms were very salty. The tiramisu was not great, more like a cake, and a great one at that. Would not recommend
