"Only if you like 'pasta in water' for dinner!"

A review of Bella Italia by Helen - Tuesday 29th of July 2003


My boyfriend and I ate here once - and never will again. It's a great location - it seems ideal to have dinner there and then go in to the cinema, in a more relaxing mock-up of a proper italian restaurant. 
 
But then the food arrived, and I've never been more disappointed by an Italian meal. I could have cooked better at home with spaghetti and a tin of economy tomatoes. The 'bolognese' was suspiciously low on meat, vegetables and well, generally FLAVOUR. A very thin watery sauce that must have cost about 20p to make and clearly didn't require the services of a chef to prepare!  
 
Chili's is just outside the Grafton. There is no reason whatsoever to step foot inside Mamma Amalfi again.
