Moon walking
How dependent we've become on plastic when it gets round to paying for stuff.
I visited a new Italian restaurant called Bella Luna in Bearwood last night and, after my meal, discovered I couldn't pay by card because the necessary electronic gizmo had yet to be fixed so off I went around the corner to use the cashpoint. Thank goodness the hole-in-the-wall was working otherwise I'd probably still be busy washing dishes...
Bit of a nuisance but I'm happy to forgive this glitch because the food was enjoyable and the service was charming. A full review's on its way in the Mail next week.


I think you will find that the washing up at the Bella Luna is already taken care of!
Guess I can throw away my Marigold gloves then!
Good news Paul!!!
The electronic gizmo is now in place in the restaurant - and I managed to pay for my meal on plastic!!
Great Food - Great Service and now a Great Card Paying System!!!
Great news, Scott. The place deserves to do well - there's a real sense the owner cares.
Just eaten at Bella Luna for the 1st time and this certainly won't be our last visit. Great food, atmosphere and service and good value too. A real little gem that deserves to thrive as I'm sure it will.
Thanks for the input, Emily. Glad you had a good meal.
My reviews in the Mail can only ever be snapshots of my experience at a particular restaurant at a particular time so it's great to get other views because it gives a fuller picture.
Keep 'em coming!
Went to Bella Luna for the first time on Saturday and was impressed with the service, menu, food quality and the atmosphere. I was a regular when it was Antonio's and am now set to be a regular there! Well done to everyone, had a great night!
Glad the place seems to be keeping up its standards. The more good independent restaurants, the better.
