In a paragraph
Bella Italia Chester is the Eastgate Street branch of the familiar Italian chain, close to Eastgate Clock, the Rows, Grosvenor Shopping Centre and Chester Cathedral.
What it's like
Bella Italia is useful in the way chain restaurants can be useful in the middle of Chester. It is central, familiar, child-friendly and unlikely to frighten anyone with a menu that needs decoding.
Predictable pasta near the Clock
The building and Eastgate Street location give it more texture than a retail-park branch, but the offer is still the offer: pasta, pizza, burgers, set menus, children's options, offers and booking certainty.
Worth knowing
Bella Italia is not trying to beat Chester's independents. It earns its space when you need central, familiar, family-friendly food and a menu that nobody needs to negotiate with.
