Bella Italia - Norwich Riverside

You know what you're getting at this Riverside outpost of the national chain, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Tucked into the leisure park off Wherry Road, it's the sort of place that works when you've got the kids in tow after a cinema trip, or when you're craving a decent carbonara without any fuss. The portions are generous enough to satisfy proper appetites, and while it won't win any awards for innovation, the kitchen turns out consistent Italian-American standards. The tiramisu actually hits the spot, and they don't scrimp on the garlic bread. It's family dining done right – nothing revolutionary, but reliable and filling with parking sorted and the little ones happy.
