Bella Italia - Oxford - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Maki Sekiya A real hidden gem located at the end of labyrinth of corridors and staircases filled with antique items. ( there are two entrances, staircase outside leading from courtyard, or from inside the antique shop arcade). We ordered French toast, BLT toast and salmon-scrambled egg all cooked to perfection. I’d recommend ordering speciality teas with various fantastic flavours. The atmosphere and the calm inside the tearoom is exceptional, instantly transports to another world.

Jemma Barnard Couldnt fault our visit, accommodated a table of 7 of us at late notice too. Very friendly staff members. Food was great value and great portions, all enjoyed what we had.

Gary Wise Was in the area, searched for local burgers. This café came up with good ratings. Parking took some patience but walked in and after a friendly greeting there were plenty of tables on the lovely patio overlooking the river and marina. Good inexpensive draught Brooklyn IPA. Ordered at the bar and food was brought out. There were no pickles available for the burger and the only mustard is English. The double burger had a good bun and construction but not much lubrication apart from mayo. I know some say cheese does that but I disagree; makes it cloying. Good enough fries, well seasoned. The burgers themselves were juicy and tasty, if not shouting “BEEF!”. They come from a local butcher in Goring which after checking, uses chuck. After a little issue which management handled really well, I left satisfied and my burger craving satisfied. Not expensive, friendly servers and beautiful location. Definitely earned the high Google score.

Mystery Jinn Came with my work colleagues for the Banquet menu £15.95 for Starter, Main, Side, Rice or Nan. Good value. Good taste. One of the best Prawn Puri I have had for a long time.

Dafydd Davies A Very tasty treat with a more than fair portion. Recommended.

Priscilla ACS I walked up and down Banbury Rd looking for a decent brunch place without an extortionate price point and ended up deciding to go to Gloucester Green for the stalls. Turns out Id missed the stall opening times but walking away made me see this cafe - much to my luck. The decor is warm and homely. The staff were friendly from the start. The atmosphere was relaxing. The menu selection was vast and at respectable prices. The coffee was strong (which is a nice kick/ change to the generic coffee shops because did I order coffee with a splash of milk or milk with a splash of coffee). And the food!!! Made with love and full of flavour. I did the happy dance we women do when the food is amazing! Take my money, Spires!
