Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

If you’re prepared for two wait-staff to serve you that don’t communicate, then this is the restaurant for you. We waited over 40 min for our entree of garlic bread and bruschetta. In this time the wait-staff tried to bring me my main…. twice (but...no one else’s at the table). We were served mains after an hour of waiting. I had to ask for my drinks more than once. Owner, who has been in the business for a long time should not blame his staff and either train them properly, offer a discount or fire them!More

30 of us invaded this restaurant, & found the staff and food to be first class, big groups can be hard work and very painful but the staff here were attentive, patient and very engaging. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough

Chosen for a birthday celebration. Our order was taken soon after arriving. 30 minutes later after asking when our meal would arrive wasted it was on its way. A table of 4 who came in after us was served quickly. A spoke to the older...gentleman who I suspect was the manager and informed him about the problem. He sent a waitress over to take our order! I spoke to him again and said we had the order taken 45 minutes before. No apology was forthcoming. He looked totally bored all evening. The wait staff worked very hard. We wont be back. A ruined birthday celebration. Food (when it arrived was just ok).More

Absolutely lovely meals. Very authentic Italian fare. Location is great, tables breezy and spacious. Service was very attentive and accurate. Nothing was too hard.. Menu had everything you could need. Try the Bolognese, delicious.

We were celebrating our 64th wedding anniversary at Bella bellismo at Forster and were disappointed to find that their dress code has something to be desired. Who lets a bloke in with no shirt,swimmers and wearing a big hat at 7.30 pm. We found it...disrespectful to all in restsurant who were suitably dressed for inside dining. All I can say is they have to be desperate to make a dollar in fact I a m sure that the people who spend the dollars will not returnMore

This was nice and all the reviews were fantastic but I think it was not the greatest Italian I've eaten. We had ours takeaway and the serving size was disappointing.

The reviews were correct. The garlic prawn pizza was delicious. Service was excellent and the host, Francisco made us feel very welcome, moving us to a table closer to the window where we could look at the view of the Lake. Highly recommend.

We booked four people but arrived with six. Staff quickly rearranged a table for us. The food was excellent and the wine and service matched it as well. The best Italian I've eaten in a long time.
