Bella Italia Sherwood Forest in Newark and Sherwood

Food was decent but the standard of service was poor. Asked to take left over home. The waitress who gave them impression we were a major inconvenience to her afternoon forgot that we requested to take the items away and made up some story that meant she had thrown them away. Also had to go and collect my son's ice cream myself as the waitress was too busy chatting to her mates. Joke level of customer service, more training needed or new staff with a better attitude.

I was not impressed with the quality of food. My pizza had no taste to it and the cheese was so stringy, it was difficult to eat.

The food was great but the service was not. I don't know if the staff need more training or are just overworked, but the first night we stayed here, we felt like we were burdens because we hadn't booked in advance, but the food was nice so we let it go. Then we went again a few days later, still were made to feel like burdens even though we had booked this time. We were given the wrong order and then charged for the wrong order. The food is lovely but it felt very disjointed and there was no apology for the wrong food order or for overcharging us.

For an expensive meal you expect good quality which is what we didn't get. Not very clean, especially menus and cutlery. Food below par and not enjoyable. Staff are really friendly though but I won't be back.

Terrible pizzas, no sauce, no flavor. Pasta dish, I’m told, was ok by a non fussy eater. Kids meals are only available in 3 courses. Included kids drinks were brought out AFTER our meal, after we had already bought them a drink.

2 nights in a row we received fantastic service and lovely food, after eating at various restaurants at center parcs, Bella Italia is well recommended and a must visit for couples or families. Both Lorna and Ruby who served us had time to talk and engage in fun conversation. All in all 5 stars.

Overpriced and very low quality. Supermarket meals turn out better than many of the dishes we had last night. We were a group of 8. Examples:- shrimp starter +£7 for 4 prawns with shells on.- pizza came dried as it had been cooked twice, never seen anything like it.- the cheese cake was recommended, it was also dried, never seen a dried cheesecake either for £6,79 even our most keen eater couldn't go through it.- best things were caramelized onion flat bread and the cookie dough dessert, which are basic dishes, also overpriced- we had to ask for cheese and it came on single use plastic tubs.- the waitress was lovely

Had a nice time here and I enjoyed it. It was not busy and this made it simple to book a table for adults. All the parents had their kids under control (toddlers and kids). There seems to be clear room to move around, toilets are clean. Food tasted nice and arrived on time for everyone to enjoy their meal.

My first time in this lovely restaurant and it was a thoroughly excellent experience!The staff are friendly, helpful and fun and nothing was too much trouble for them!Ideally situated in 'The Village' at Centre Parcs, it's a great place to have lunch and then go for a stroll to the beach afterwards.Lovely surroundings and lovely ambiance...and now onto the main reason you would go here...the food! Absolutely DELICIOUS! I enjoyed my meal very much, it was tasty, filling and warming on a cold day, great value for money too.The subtle flavours were blended beautifully to create a truly delicious pasta meal!I will definitely be going back again!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delicious pizza and calzone with super friendly staff!We had dinner here on our last night and were so impressed with everything here, we'll be recommending it to everyone we know that's going to Sherwood.Veggie calzone with chips, and a Mushroom pizza for the parents, and the kids meal deal (starter main and dessert plus a drink) proved great value for money.Big thanks to Emma, our server, who entertained our 2 year old Molly and made friends very quickly with her!The food was delicious, nicely presented and it didn't take us long to finish!!
