Bella Italia - Cambridge Leisure Park

You know what you're getting at the Leisure Park branch of Bella Italia, and that's exactly the point. After a Saturday afternoon battling the crowds at Next or catching a film at the cinema, you want somewhere that'll feed the whole family without any fuss or pretension. The dining room's got that familiar chain warmth – nothing groundbreaking, but clean, comfortable, and mercifully quiet compared to the retail chaos outside. The menu sticks to Italian-American classics done competently rather than brilliantly. Their pizzas have proper crispy bases and generous toppings, whilst the pasta portions are hefty enough to satisfy even hungry teenagers. Staff are genuinely friendly and quick to sort out high chairs or split bills. It's not going to change your life, but when you're knackered from shopping and need somewhere reliable that won't break the bank, this does the job perfectly well.
