Little Italy — Restaurant in St. Helier

I love Italian food - so when I found this Little Italy, I was keen to try! I went in one evening and they were full, so I made a reservation the following night. When I arrived that night - I was greeted and shown to my table and given a food menu with drinks on the back, the staff member came back a few minutes later and asked if I'd like a Starter, I hadn't a chance to look at it yet, but he mentioned 'Garlic Bread' and I was like 'YES!' and he helped me decide on what kind of drink I wanted and I tried a new wine which was nice - The Garlic Bread was nice, it wasn't mind blowing, it came with some type sauce I presume this is how it's done in Italy (I've been to Italy several times and never seen this), when I was served my Starter I was already asked what I wanted for my Main and luckily I'm a creature of habit and it was a Carbonara - The portion size of this was very generous and was given a decent amount of parseman and pepper too, I have tried several hundred Carbonaras in my life and this wasn't the best, but it was up there, the flavours I felt didn't really pop, but the presentation was superb.

I wouldn't go back, but I'm...

We went to this restaurant for dinner, and the experience was absolutely unacceptable.

When we arrived and sat down, one of us lightly touched one of the table decorations. Immediately, a waitress — who later said she was the owner’s girlfriend — started removing the decorations aggressively and told us we were not supposed to touch them. We apologized right away, but she refused to accept it and kept acting rude and confrontational.

Things escalated even more when she went to the door, opened it, and said, “If you’re not happy, you can leave,” in front of a full restaurant. It was embarrassing and completely out of line.

We asked to speak with the owner, hoping to calm things down, but it only got worse. He came to the table shouting, waving his arms in the air — so aggressively that it felt like he might hit someone. At that point, we decided to leave.

Both the waitress’s and the owner’s behavior were completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Clearly, there’s no real management to take responsibility when the problem...

Little Italy to me is a misnomer. I say this because the only small thing was the price. With a huge atmosphere, tasty food and excellent service, the result, naturally, was a pleasant experience. Therefore, it's anything but little.

Little Italy was busy every time I passed, and I fully understand why. Once you try it you'll feel compelled to come back. Me and my Girlfriend was aiming to try to dine in a different restaurant every night during our stay in jersey. However, we had to make an exception for this place.

Once there, we were approached and seated within seconds. Garlic bread was offered and brought out immediately. Staff were very attentive and pleasant to deal with. We were served by Lucio and Michael (apologies for spelling) who were incredibly nice to us. Food was served quickly once ordered and It was amazing. I love italian cuisine and this place hit the nail on the head. Starters, mains and desserts were all delicious. Prices were very fair and it was a highlight of our...
