    We have eaten here before but tonight they really outdid themselves. The service was prompt, polite and great. The food was tremendous - my partner had the Scallops and Pork Belly to start and the steak for main and both were great. I had the Venison to start and the Duck Breast for main and these were equally fantastic. Both desserts - the Tarte Tatin and Chocolate Torte - were also lovely. Great meal, one of the best we have ever had. We will definitely be back!

    My husband and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and had a really excellent meal at the Bella Ischia. The food was really excellent. We were a little cold in the restaurant but it didn't spoil our evening at all. Everyone there were really helpful and the meal was extremely delicious.
