Gerardo's — Restaurant in East Lindsey

To save reading the below- perfect, hot, tasty, affordable food, Perfect Pizza, Perfect Burger, even better Fries!! Pasta is near perfect too.

Imagine this review is from 12 months ago when we went Wow, recommended, best food I've had in years.

Fries (yes thin fried Chips) Insanely Perfect, every bleeding one! Kudos!

A Mixed Seafood Pasta, tasty/hot/filling/(shells on most) perfect. Burger, near 100% Kids Bolognese Pasta and Chicken Nuggets, tasty perfect. Atmosphere is slightly Mediterranean, Lovely Brewed (smelled and tasted to me like) Lavazza Black Coffee.

The place is hot, maybe too hot for some, but I loved everything they did to create the ambience and culinary experience.

Don't get me wrong, the pasta isn't likely to have seen a Pasta Making Machine, but at the good price and quality foods you get more than you pay for, Bravo Gerardo's graze mille (but spoke in Yorkshire). Latest review, we went again to Gerardo's this time twice! Fries (yes think Fried Chips) still Perfecto!

Pizza - tasted better than Adriatic Pizzas That same taste of perfect dough cooked likely in a stone oven, several places cook this way and you cannot get better Pizza!

Burger, even better than before, stunningly well thought out filling and patty, toasted/crisped Brioche Incredible, the perfect Burger.

Lasagne, same lovely chunky Bolognese Mince as their Ragu only packed tight and cooked in a Large Ramekin thing.

Mixed Seafood Pasta(again), boringly again Perfect!! Sooo so yummy (It's not lost on me the Pasta is likely shop bought and the seafood frozen. But for the price and taste it couldn't be more perfect!

Spied a hotdog meal and was so jealous, it looked stunning for size and the money, but I was so full after finishing everyone else's meal plus a Nutella Ice-Cream (really tasty Chocolate Ice-cream with Chopped (likely) Hazel Nuts.

Also spied an anti-pastoc that looked perfect, only so many calories I should eat in a day. I may have doubled my daily count as it was.

A lady came in with a family and complained from second one, every table had the Goldilocks problem. She even reviewed the food as atrocious without ordering any, safe to say she made her family go to a different establishment that she already had her heart set on and belly.

And to the reviewer who said the food wasn't good because she went in at NewYears and ordered a Sausage Buttie, don't order a Sausage Butty from an Italian Restaurant.

Similarly don't order a Bolognese Pasta from a...

I've been today trying to have a Sunday lunch with my family...wait nearly 40 minutes(actually 36 minutes) for 2 portions of fries,1 pasta and 1 pizza even if the place have only few customers...not even busy.The italian guy from the bar and our attendant Raffaello absolutely kill us with their kindness.Now why 2...So far to be italian food...pasta without egg yolks,no parmesan,not even bacon was actually ham not saying to be pancetta,pasta penne cooked well done...hello...have to be "al dente"...pizza with carrots?!?!(see the picture)...i understand you use for bolognese carrots but that size?!?!?Anyway pizza dough was uncooked but burned on the bottom...so food 1...service and location 4...divide by 2...is 2.5...way to much!!!I will be honest,drinks you can find everywhere but food made by a real chef with love and passion...hard to find.Ohhh almost forgot...ristretto was amazing😉 And now after your answer i can give you back my answer...and it's gonna be straight...parmesan missing,egg yolks missing...never carbonara with cream...about pizza...i'm Wonder if you really are italian you will eat that pizza as italian pizza?!?where in the world you will see carbonara with parsley or pizza with carrots?!?dough uncooked but burned on bottom...you can talking like this with unprofessional people who don't know how food should be...and you can serve them with anything like an italian food...it's not a point to use fresh italian ingredients...the point is to know how to cook,and cook with love and passion like an "italian vero"...also not time was the point even for pasta not taking more than 10-12 minutes or pizza max 5 minutes...about fries they are cook himself just drop in deep fryer...where in the world you eat in Italia pizza with parsley?!?So mister owner try to see you don't have a chef from Italia and accept you have food mixed but not Italian...why don't give it back?!?I was there especially for this review and my job was to give you a straight review...

Don’t waste your time or money, worst experience we’ve ever had. Waitress put menus down on a table outside, didn’t communicate until I asked if that was our table. Didn’t know what a Birra moretti was (even though it was on draught) so ordered a peroni for ease. Bland food, informed waitress - from that moment our food was no longer placed down with care, it was almost slammed in front of us. Not attentive, didn’t check our meals were okay, especially after they knew we weren’t having a nice time. Slop, watery food Flat strong bow, informed waitress, no apology, no “I’ll get you another one” or take it off our bill. Head of house apologised that food was bland but didn’t offer any alternative Menu doesn’t state shell on prawns My main was the exact same as my started mixed with some spaghetti. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said “no it’s not, it has more prawns”. I obviously wouldn’t have ordered this dish if I had known it was going to be the same with “more prawns” and pasta added. Rude manager, confrontational, wasn’t wearing a mask/visor & entered our personal space, when I asked her to keep her distance she stated she didn’t need to wear a mask because we were outside despite me explaining social distancing. Told my partner he was being aggressive when he asked for the bill minus the two dishes containing slop. Manager stated we were just trying to get a free meal, we said this wasn’t true as we had both had one mouthful of our meal so therefore weren’t benefiting from this outing. The manager stormed off & said she would have to ask the chefs to see if we didn’t have to pay for the meal - she was the manager so I don’t really understand. She never came back & sent a waitress out with a revised bill. No apology, no update, just a bill with our two mains scribbled off. Such a...
