Bella Mamma's - an independent review

[Highlander]

We have always had a great experience at Bella Mamma's in the past and our last visit in June this year was no exception.

When ashliee10 said that the customer service was unbelievably quick, I assume that she meant that you do not have to wait long from the time you order until the time the food arrives. This is something I personally appreciate greatly. I simply hate when restaurants deliberately delay preparing your food in the hope that you will finish your first drink and order another because your meal hasn't arrived.

The food at the restaurant is, in our experience, always very, very good and the staff friendly and attentive.

At seems that every time we pass Bella Mamma's it is packed and that surely proves that they are doing things properly.

I may have posted this previously, but a local bar/restaurant operator described Bella Mamma's, appreciatively, as very professional and I think that is not only accurate but one of the best compliments that could be paid.  
 
PS Keng38 - would you ask how many times a week someone could eat chicken shish kebap.

I totally agree with that  H.

It's only restaurant that don't have a main man trying to get people in........but it's always packed...and to be honest has been the same since they opened...what 6 years ago......I can honestly say that we have never had to wait for a meal and more importantly never had e bad meal there...in fact they have been excellent.....the staff can come over as being a bit stand of ish......they are not....it's because they are professional ....also because the Boss man is always over them.......I have to say I don't really like Him very much...sour face.....but then he is not cooking the food...

Would not hesitate to recommend.....A1

We stopped eating there three years ago (approx) due to being totally ignored when we said our fillet steak wasn't as good as the last time we ate there. No apology.. Just totally ignored.

I assumed when she(?) wrote it that it was just another dubious addition to the unbelievably positive drivel around it.

As for Bella Mamma's - to me it is the first (and to date possibly the only) Calis seafront restaurant to stand up and reject the "me too" policy of the prom. Some of it was rather odd at first, stand offish waiters and no banter - but we have never ever had a bad meal or bad experience there. I applaud the Bella Mamma

I'd much rather have that than the other extreme - bringing your courses on top of each other in an effort to get you in and out as quick as possible...

I will check this place out when im over and especially try their chicken shish kebab just for you Highlander

I agree with you re the "boss" man June but he does take his job very seriously and alot of the success I believe is down to the way he keeps things running..

I did see him smile in June though.

We agree - Bella Mama is our favourite restaurant in Calis.  The service is always good - we tend to eat around 9 ish so it was always full when we turned up (also in June).  We were always given a short time to wait and sat at the bar with a drink - we never had to wait any longer than he said and it was usually just minutes.   We went in one night when it was absolutely heaving with two really large parties - about 40 youngish couples and another table of 20 -it was bedlam and obviously very noisy with chatter and people shouting from table to table.  However our meal came just as quick as normal and was just as good as ever.  The waiter kept apologising for the noise, but it was not a problem - just people being happy and enjoying themselves. It is a really well run restaurant - with excellent food.  My husband is not much of a pasta eater at home, but he really enjoys the pasta dishes at Bella Mama. Lastly, their loo is clean and modern - always a bonus.

And the new fan/water-spray thingy was heavenly - so nice to be able to enjoy a good meal without feeling too hot..

eat there last week - excellent; good efficient service, good menu and those fans and spray systems kept us cool
