Ciao Bella Italiano 48 Palmers Road, London E2 0TA

"First day in London for my family. Ciao Bella is a hidden gem at the corner of Palmers Road. Carbonara portion is generous n delicious. Pizza texture is just right. Milan the host, is friendly. Ambience is great. Glad we are here."

"I truly wish I could give a better rating. But went here on Valentine’s Day and the service was a disaster. I never experienced anything like it. Although they were only taking reservations, I found myself waiting for over an hour before being served. When my order finally arrived, only half of it was served, prompting the waiter to inquire whether I still wished to receive the rest. To make matters worse, I observed that the table next to ours had been waiting for over two hours without being served, and the waiter had apparently forgotten about their order. Shockingly, he still wanted to charge them! They were forced to leave hungry and dissatisfied. Similarly, another table only had one of their two dishes served after waiting for more than an hour, and the dishes that arrived were not even the one they had ordered. Since the waiter noticed we befriended these couples, he offered me a complimentary dessert. When we asked for the bill, the waiter spoke poorly of the couple who had left without being served, blaming them for what had happen. The food itself was exceptional nonetheless, very authentic and delicious. The decor was also quite beautiful. In conclusion, while the quality and price of the food and the aesthetic appeal of the restaurant were commendable, the service was unacceptable. It is my sincere hope that the management will take measures to rectify these issues so that future customers can enjoy a better experience."

"Such a beautiful restaurant with such lovely staff, so so friendly and welcoming. Food was phenomenal especially the pasta (may i add the portions are amazing as well) Will definitely be visiting again ❤️"

"Lovely atmosphere and the people working here go above and beyond! Don't be fooled by my seafood risotto, you're not supposed to put cheese on it!! It ruins the flavour :) they also recommended me a lovely wine and gave me and my friend plenty of time to choose. They went the extra mile, made jokes and their friendliness is truly admirable. I will be back! Thank you so much for all your hospitality. Grazie!"
