Title: Bella Mamas Excellent
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on May 22, 2016, 09:50:33 AM
Gave Bella Mamas a try last night,  Not as full as usual, so easy to get a table.  Service was very quick and the food was excellent could not fault it.  One thing I have noted before, the Irish or Amaretto Coffee is the best in the area, as the cream on the top is not spray cream but real thick double cream and last right through the drink.   Great night and will visit again.   ;)

Went to Bella Mamas on Thursday night with my daughter, son-in-law and two grandkids. The service was absolutely abysmal and all the staff had faces like "slapped arses". At one stage I saw a waiter arguing the toss with a chef.  Friends renting at Violet also went and found the same. Waiters manner bordering on ignorance. They left without tipping and my daughter says she will not go again.

We have never been for years for exactly these reasons,argumentative ,ignorant staff and when I raised an issue the manager was no better .We much prefer the friendlier casa Di mama where I think the food is just as good but the service eminently better.I get Bella Mama being considered a bit posher but doesn't wash with me.

It had fallen off our must do list for no particular reason and we went last year for the first time in years - mainly because we were staying there - and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed it. I do understand how people find it a bit stiff and not over friendly but you get all the banter etc in lots of places so I quite like the occasional meal without.

We have known the head waiter at Cassa Di Mammas for about 12 years... always friendly always chatty even though we didnt eat in there much only at lunchtimes and about 2 evenings in a month. Last year it was obvious that he was turning his back to us because we weren't eating in there enough for him.... It will be even less this year...

Which one is witch? Went to first Italian a couple of weeks ago. Waiters polite but not on your face and good excellent. Went to second one a few nights later - steak a bit tough and tables so close together you could hear everyone's conversation.

Who is it that produces the Calis restaurant/bar map? Perhaps you could look at that.

We waited over 1 hour to be served. No starters brought in that time. Others give free starters while you wait. No tip given and will not return.

Bella mama is our favourite restaurant in Calis, we have never had to wait for our order to be taken and to be honest we usually ask the waiter to give us 10 minutes before we order the meal as it always arrives so quickly after ordering.   Waiters always friendly,  polite and attentive and they do chat if you start up a conversation with them.  Suppose every restaurant has a bad night now and again but we have never experienced one at Bella Mama.

I have been many times to Bella Mammas and never waited to be served. Well not for order to be taken, but have had to wait for a table  if have not prebooked as they have been so busy. And food has always arrived quickly once order taken.
Some places do give free starters of bread, herb butter and sometimes small pot of Ezme and yoghurt but I have learnt mostly to avoid those as I fill up too much on the bread! If I want a starter, I would rather choose my own in any case. Always found food and service excellent.
