But our cravings demanded Italian, so we persisted. The service was good, and the ambiance conducive to small groups of 2-4. Notably, I noticed an overhead AC system (not very common here in the UK). The food here was tasty. Compared to the US, Bella Italia handily beats Olive Garden in terms of food quality, but it sports smaller portions and so not have unlimited bread sticks. We got the Bolognese and Pomodoro Mozzarella, and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu during our stay in Exeter!

But it didn't disappoint-same lovely Carluccio's vibe; fabulous food ( try the pasta with spinach balls....no really, it's much better than it sounds!) and the pastries are wonderful with hot chocolate that's so delicious it's hard not to ask for another glass. ( Yes, glass-the bottom half molten chocolate-the top warm chocolatey smoothness...) The deli means you can take stuff home with you and do it all again. Not cheap but worth every penny. The atmosphere is buzzy and the staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Love, it love , love it!!!

Excellent location, right on the river. Had a superb, and big, meditaranean anti pasti to share,…read moreit was enough for 4, though was only supposed to be for 2. The quality of charcuterie was superb, really good. the olives excellent too. Main courses: Mushroom and truffle oil risotto. Rich, strong girole mushrooms, deep truffle flavour. Good. Pepperoni pizza. Excellent. Truffle and rocket ravioli. Very good. Chicken with cream and lemon, very nice. And there was nice live music, US/UK folk/bluegrass. Very good it was. Italian food IS simple, and based on good ingredients. And this is exactly what we got and it was good. Total price with some beers, coke and a good espresso, £70. For 4 with a starter that is about right. Service was as you expect, you dont want good food to take 10 minutes to make, you want it to take longer, to be properly made. And it was. I can only assume given the previous negative reviews that this place has changed hands. I can recommend it.

The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable for the food and service. You can usually park in the street, but there is a small car park nearby. It is disabled friendly, although the tables are quite close together. The staff are very helpful. There is a range of pasta dishes, lots of veal dishes, chicken and meat. The Filletto di Maiale al Rosmarino, which is tenderloin of pork & rosemary is a particular favourite of mine. They also do steaks. They also have a very nice fish menu. All main course dishes are served with potatoes and vegetables or Spaghetti Napoletana. Open in the evenings Mondays - Saturdays and lunchtimes Tuesdays - Fridays (closed Sundays).
