We had a long day having left from north east of scotland early in the morning. We hadn’t eaten since first thing that day so it was lovely to find a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The lobster tails and spaghetti were lovely. Would thoroughly recommend Ela

Really wanted to love this place.The warning signs were there when on the Sunday menu there was 3 types of English roast dinners. Italian ??????My son ordered one and couldn’t finish it because the meat was chewy.I ordered ‘tri-colour’ salad. Tomatoes , advacado and mozzarella, nothing else.The mozzarella was worse than the cheapest supermarket.Lasagna for main, ok not bad, nothing special nothing to complain at.Seabass , main course Barely edible.Dessert- 2 x Tiramisu- Any Italian would be ashamed to serve this. Made at the last minute , cream and coco powder & not much else. Awful.Cheesecake - Not as bad but still pretty bad.Red wine - Surprisingly good.4 starters, 4 main , 4 dessert , 1 beer, 3 glasses of red. £155.I really hope this restaurant remembers it’s Italian and has a duty to maintain Italian cuisine standards.Either that or fire the chef and get someone who knows how to cook.

Lovely staff and garlic bread was great but shame about the kid size small portions of spaghetti dishes we had plus they need a bit more flavour.It doesn't cost much to give customers a bigger portion, was it a ploy to get you to pay for dessert? Shame if so.For that reason we didn't get dessert even though we were still hungry after.We won't be going back.

Another good night at Ella Bella. We've been here a few times, always good food and attentive service. Would recommend for a nice meal in Tonbridge.

Always good food in this lovely restaurant in the centre of Tonbridge high street. We've been there many times and team are very friendly and helpful. We would suggest the roast dinners on Sunday could be better if more English style, but there are so many excellent Italian + French choices on the many you will not be disappointed.

Had lunch for four yesterday. My wife and I had potted shrimps which were not!! They were hot and cooked in a tomato sauce!! Very poor. Three of us had pasta which was also very average. The menu is neither French and apart from the pasta Italian. I cannot believe this is number one on Tripadvisor.
