Most Disliked
While Bella Sorrento receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, some guests mention occasional service delays during peak hours, particularly lunch rushes. During these busy times, reservations are recommended to ensure a seamless dining experience. Additionally, a few diners noted the limited availability of some specialty items during high traffic times, though this signifies the restaurant’s commitment to using fresh, quality ingredients.
Occasionally, certain dishes might not meet individual preferences — such as the unique flavor profile of the house garlic sauce, which some may find unconventional. However, most patrons appreciate the creativity behind it. Overall, the experience is more often than not positive, with these points seen as minor inconveniences.

A wet Monday morning provided the perfect excuse to visit Bella Sorrento for the first time. Having received a warm welcome, I took my seat and browsed the breakfast menu before placing my order at the counter. I enjoyed an oat milk cappuccino, and a short while later I tucked into my veggie breakfast, having opted for scrambled egg and toasted brown bread. My first meal of the day had prepared with care and attention. Before leaving, I enjoyed a conversation with the proprietor. I look forward to calling again and sampling more of the extensive menu.

Fantastic Italian Food in the Heart of Stowmarket! Bella Sorrento is an absolute gem on Stowmarket High Street! The pasta with tomato sauce, chicken, and parmesan cheese was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, and the garlic bread was spot on. We also tried the vegetarian pizza — fresh, tasty, and beautifully made. The real surprise was the coleslaw — honestly the best fresh coleslaw I’ve ever had! Don’t miss the Chef’s special recipe garlic sauce (he mentioned it has 13 ingredients!) — it pairs perfectly with both the pizza and the pasta. Quality food at reasonable prices, friendly service, and a great central location. Highly recommend Bella Sorrento for anyone craving authentic, delicious Italian food in Stowmarket!

This was our first visit for an evening meal and it certainly won't be our last. There is a good selection on the menu and we all chose something different. My son said his DIY Pizza was amazing. My lasagne was perfect and my Husband's Tuscan Pasta was excellent. Wonderful food, great service and a lovely ambience. We will be back very soon.
