    Very good Italian food served in a homely atmosphere. Best to get here early as there is no advance booking.

    Love pizzeria bel-sit Really nice local restaurant, waiters and waitresses are all very lovely and friendly. Busy atmosphere and they do make a deal when you are celebrating your birthday there. Lots of big groups. Really good food. Nice wine. You must try their homemade tiramisu and Nutella pudding! But you must be prepared to wait. The place gets packed out and you can't reserve. Also personally I don't like their cocktails so would opt for a long drink (g&t or whisky coke etc) or wine

    Great experience. Lively welcoming staff. Authentic food, fresh simple high quality ingredients - better than your usual chains. Seafood dishes were excellent as well as the pollo milanese. Good vibrant atmosphere, would definitely go back soon.

    Pizzeria Bel-Sit continues to be a favorite of the fine folks from Essex. It's a small establishment run by a family for years and one can tell that they have become good friends of the diners that visit for lunch or dinner. The food is authentic, fresh and very flavorful. I ordered a linguini with clams and king prawn in tomato sauce with garlic. The end result was me cleaning each morsel of food from my plate. Yes it was that good!

    Yesterday - First time dinning here with family. Very busy on a Saturday but good service and friendly staff. The food came out in good fashionable time. We que before they opened the doors so the wait was not too long to be seated. Food was lovely and every one was pleased. There is a number of selection on the menu to choose from starter to mains and dessert. My lasagne was nice overall but could have done with abit more sauce in between the lasagne sheets and abit more meat tbh. My child is just a fussy eater and so we order her some fries but they not the best type. But everything else was great!

    Was there for my birthday dinner a month back or so. I was intrigued by this place once before as I saw a quite long line of people waiting outside. I just moved to that hood and was checking out what's around. Staff were super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere in the restaurant is great and feels homely. 4 stars, because the food could have been a bit better namely seasoning in general and the lobster ravioli which was quite watery and the taste was not really there. Rest of the food was great!

    It was humming by 6:15 on a Wednesday night so we had to queue for a table for 30 minutes. The food was well worth the wait. The starter prawns are a generous portion and delicious. Everything we are was superb but the it is quite pricey. I'd certainly go again though.

    Lovely little authentic restaurant. Long waiting times is the only grumble. And the desserts aren't great. Never the less I can highly recommend starters and mains 😋😋

    The food was very nice, big portions and tasty. Reasonably priced. I have given 4 stars because it is not the sort of atmosphere i enjoy when at an Italian. It was very loud, busy and seats were quite close together. This is my personal preference and not a huge negative.

  • 3/5 Fussy V. 4 months ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Afew gluten free options. Several vegetarian options too. Gluten free Portuguese garlic bread was delicious. Seriously garlicky. Cannelloni was well made and tomato sauce was tasty. Penne arrabiata was good but could do with a bit more chilli. Gluten free vegetable linguine was bland (we’d originally received a non gluten free dish and just happened to check, which isn’t great). Hence the low stars. Very busy and therefore a lively/noisy restaurant! Note: you can’t pre-book and you may have to wait. First time we came there was an hour long wait, so we left. This time we waited 25 minutes.

    A real favourite serving Italian food. Famous for it's pizzaa however for me the best two things on the menu is the crispy garlic bread and garlic prawns. They have specials as well and always worth asking about them. Deserts are home made and are superb. Only downside is there is no online booking. You have to wait for a table at certain times as it tends to get very busy on weekends. Opens at 6pm and usually a queue outside waiting patiently. Lunchtimes are easier to get a table. Service is always great and the staff are helpful and interact with diners. Highly recommend this place.

    Great food but on a Friday or Saturday night be prepared to queue. Worth the wait but can be a bit too long if you have kids. Food is really good quality. Everyone is treated like family and I love the noise and busyness of it. Great for families!

    Everything about this restaurant is amazing. We went here today with our two toddlers and the staff and amenities were super child friendly. The authentic Italian food was so so good! They also have high chairs. The food can be ordered as small portions for children. The small fork and spoon was perfect for them and not many restaurants offer this. The staff are so so so friendly, and the toddlers enjoyed having their attention. Thank you for the amazing food and hospitality

  • 5/5 Stefan K. 3 months ago on Google New
    It is a typical family run Italian restaurant in the best way. Be aware you cannot book in advance and you might have to wait for a table a long time. I like this place and because it is always full they must do a lot of things right. That is the reason why I gave 5 stars what I normally never do

    Pasta was amazing. Also loved the pavlova. Would definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Aida A. 8 months ago on Google
    First time going here with my husband and we had the best time. The pepperoni pizza special was so delicious and the homemade tiramisu was absolutely incredible. They even gave us a complimentary shot of an Italian spirit (can’t remember the name)!

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I love this place. Food is delicious and not too pricey. Their garlic bread is the best. The only downside is that if you don't get there just after opening time then you will have to wait for a table to become available but that's only because it is so popular.

  • 5/5 Amar P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lively atmosphere and great food and prompt service The garlic prawns are a must! Get there before 7 if you have kids to get a table...was full even on a Wednesday night

  • 5/5 Cherie E. 4 years ago on Google
    Italian at its finest. This busy restaurant offers a wide range of delicious dishes from ribs to lobster along with all your other favourite Italian dishes. Highly recommend. You can’t book a table but the wait is definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 Darryl W. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Italian restaurant in the world and has been for 20+ years, a real culinary institution! Garlic bread must be tried!

  • 5/5 Elena b. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it here! The staff was super friendly and feels like you're in a holiday in Italy. The food is amazing! Loved the garlic bread 😍

  • 4/5 Em H. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent fresh food and worth the queue to get in! Place does get exceptionally loud as it's a small restaurant with closely packed tables so be prepared to shout.
