Historical version 3 of Bella Italia, KT19 8AH (view current version)

A chain Italian restaurant in Epsom.

Bella Italia is a large chain, so DrHyde wasn't expecting much. In fact, solely because it is a chain I didn't really want to eat there because chains are almost always rubbish. However, the area around Epsom High Street has nothing else. There's what looks like a poncy bar, a couple of sandwich shops, and a dodgy burger shop, and that's it. So the chain restaurant was the best choice of a bad lot.

And I was pleasantly surprised. Service was a bit scatty but was at least quick and they fixed their screw-up (wrong starter) without being asked to. My pizza was cooked properly and full of flavour and everyone else (I was with a party of nine) seemed satisfied. The seats were comfortable. The lunch-time prices were reasonable.

Last visited by DrHyde and a host of Go players, 19 July 2008. Opening hours taken from website, July 2008.
