For £30 I?d expect more toppings, very plain and bland

The best Italian anywhere other than Italy, food is high quality, prices are good, service was 10/10. If you?re visiting London, this is the place to taste authentic Italian cusine.

Unfortunately ,it wasn?t what I expected!
We tried chicken cesar salad and definitely won?t recommend it coz the lettuce leaves were not fresh nor crunchy and the chicken did?t taste good . Pizza was ordinary ,I was expecting more than that as I tried Neapolitan pizzas in other places and it tasted better .I believe that I won?t try it again .
Service was good and the restaurant has a nice view outside.

We were disappointed with our visit. The pasta with meatballs didn't taste like it was made with fresh meat, and the pizza was half burnt. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations.

We had a wonderful family meal this evening at Bella Mia. The food was delicious, the service was great, the price was surprisingly good especially considering there were 8 of us. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great pizza!

Although it is the best pizza experience in North Finchley it isn't a real Napoli pizza. The service and atmosphere tries very hard to suit a typical Italian restaurant, but there are a few things they missed. Most important pizza should be served along with a pizza slicer, so you can slice it by yourself. Apart from that I do strongly recommend.

This was the worst and most hurtful dining experience I?ve ever had. I?m shocked by the racism and overall lack of humanity of the owner. When we walked past the restaurant the menu looked ok and the place looked authentically Italian. We?d also been fooled by the amazing reviews this place had(more the fool us!!!) The owner came out, did not greet us, smile or offer a warm welcome. We were surprised at this as other nearby restaurants operate very differently! His aggressive tone complete lack of customer service awareness as the lunch prevailed has left me with a bitter taste. Our food arrived there was no politeness or kindness in his service. Not even eye contact. Just silently put food on the table and removed it without even asking if we?d finished! My pasta dish was admittedly good(but not great and certainly not worth all this). When we paid, we were open about leaving this place a review(because it?s more honest to help a business grow through feedback which is was our sincere hope for this owner). This was met with aggression and rudeness and as we walked out of the door he said ?I don?t know where you?re from but here in this country we don?t take two tables?. For context it was a very hot day, the inside of the restaurant felt hotter, we sat outside at 2/3 small tables facing away from the sun and instead of asking nicely he aggressively said ?You?re taking two tables?! That?s how youre going to sit?!? We said we?re happy to move if anyone comes and that he could ask nicely (but the restaurant was COMPLETELY empty inside and out if anyone had stopped there was another table and we would have happily moved but he was VERY rude in the way he spoke with us). His service was abysmal no eye contact no manners no customer service?even AFTER we had moved for him taking plates away and putting food down without a word. This level of ?customer service? is unacceptable but the racist comment? And his reply to the other comment posted by my family member where he has reworded what he ACTUALLY said? Unforgivable and we, nor our friends or family will be returning. We suggest you really think about one of the other INCREDIBLE restaurants that are family owned, friendly, welcoming and refrain from ignorant offensive comments. Sub standard food, no customer service, with racism on the side? No thank you. Good luck to you Bella Mia. You?re going to need it.

"Maybe in your country"-Racist comments directed at us.
Went here on the 14 July. We sat outside as it was a sunny day. We sat on two tables so we could both face the sun. The owner came outside as asked us to occupy one table. We politely explained that we both wanted to face the sun and asked if that was okay. The owner said yes.
When he brought our food out he told us very rudely "you need to move now". We moved to one table and i politely said to the owner that there is a polite way to talk to customers. The owner kept on being rude. The couple who sat next to us were given olive oil and seasoning without them having to ask-we were not. The owner also took my plate without asking if i was finished.
The food was good and the portions were generous.
We went inside the restaurant to pay. After we paid, the owner followed us outside, continually asking us "where are you from?". We ignored the comments, and he then said "Maybe in your country, people sit on two tables". We pointed out the racist comment and the caucasian couple sat next to us were visibly mortified that we were treated this way.
Irrespective of the fact myself and the person with me were born and raised in the UK and speak with English accents, the fact that an owner of an establishment (themselves a migrant to the UK) saw fit to make racist comments was shameful, disgusting behaviour.
Finchley (and London in general) is a diverse area and we should treat fellow human beings with respect.
I am always keen to support local, independent businesses (especially when they are family owned) but I will not be coming to this establishment again.
Thankfully, Finchley is not short of Italian restaurants and friendly, warm business owners.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to, ordered the seafood spaghetti topped up with parmesan cheese. Great food experience.

The pizza was excellent, but you have to keep the table clean. The whole table was sticking and it was not a pretty sight.
