Bella Vita 53-57 Broadway Market, London E8 4PH

"This apparently the first shop before figo opens up in east London. Definitely a great place to be for some delicious Italian food. The special mushroom tagitalle is just mind blowing. Very friendly staff who attend to us. Much appreciated!"

"Meh, terrible to say the least. Service was ridiculously slow. It was unbelievably loud and worsened by relentless barking dogs. Mussels were very salty with a lot of them not opening. Lasagna was so bland, tasted worse than supermarket bought lasagna Pizza was below average, crust is so hard Tiramisu was good but it took them over 25 minutes to bring it."

"Not sure why the reviews are so high..Honest review Went for for lunch and ordered a number of items to try but was bland with limited flavor, especially the burrata and very poor tasteless tomatoes. In addition, this is well over priced with limited to little toppings. Very disappointed, spend £70 for 3 people. Wouldn't recommend this, your best bet are the market food stalls!"

"We had a nice walk in a very busy Saturday afternoon to the famous Broadway Market. First time when we've been in the market, pleasantly surprised. We stop at Bella Vita restaurant due tot the fact our attention was caught by a clean , heated and good looking terrace. We stayed on the terrace , which has a great vibe , and is actually nice and warm. The food taste and looks great , service was was friendly and warm. Definitely we will return to Bella Vita ."

"Service was fairly quick on a Sunday afternoon and the staff were very polite. The food looks delicious but unfortunately mine was lacking in flavour and I was a little disappointed. The restaurant itself is very loud and tables are close together, so you'll get the occasional bump and shove from people passing by which can get annoying. Good place to go if you want a meal with the family, but I'd avoid for dates or occasions where you want a more relaxed environment."
