Topogigio — Restaurant in England

I visited Topogigio on Friday 6 March 2020 in the early evening, a weekday during term time. I was with a party of sixteen. This was my second visit.

The restaurant comprises of one cozy and tightly packed main dining area with plenty of tables with full table service.

The team were friendly and welcoming and I had no issues - we got everything we expected in good time and enjoyed the experience.

I had garlic bread with mozzarella for my starter, a ham and pineapple pizza for my main course and a mint choc chip sundae for dessert. The food was well presented and tasted OK - it was all perfectly adequate but not much more. The garlic bread with mozzarella was quite bland, the pizza was nice and the "sundae" was basically two scoops of mint choc chip ice cream with two tiny squirts of cream on top with a near £7 price tag. There was a good selection of food and I found something that appealed to me easily. I'd say the food was generally average value for money but the desserts were overpriced.

Overall everything was OK. I like supporting local business but this was nothing more than average really, I'm sorry to say. The service was good - the staff were all very attentive and polite and, especially considering we were a larger party, everything came out in a...

I ate here on a Friday evening as a party of four.

The restaurant itself is very pleasing to the eye, with a rustic, busy, feel to the layout and decor.

However the place had music playing so loud we could barely have a conversation across the table and some of tracks were oddly base heavy. Even the waitress couldn't hear one of us order from just inches away. When I politely asked if the music could be turned down, the waitress looked at me like I'd asked her to sacrifice her only child. (The music did not get turned down).

I started with avocado and prawns and it was exactly that, prawns in Mary rose sauce with avocado and a bit of salad. There was certainly nothing wrong with it but there's nothing to write home about either.

For main I had gnocchi in a tomato and cream sauce at £11. It tasted exactly like gnocchi in Tesco's fresh tomato and mascarpone sauce (which cost less than £2.

I should point out the two of our party that had pizzas did say they enjoyed them.

I found the food here to be disappointingly underwhelming whilst carrying price tags that were far to high for the...

Normally very lovely food. Normally, greeted and shown you towards your table by a polite member of staff and offered drinks very quickly.

The starters and mains are lovely. Fair drink sizes for the price and a lovely atmosphere however a abit small for the volume of tables.

On our most recent visit it was fairly busy, however has been busier. We had to wait to order drinks and after ordering, one was forgotten.

Once we ordered our mains it was slow. Didn't see or hear anything for a while until our order arrived which was missing a pizza.

By the time the pizza arrived most of the table was finishing up in which we pointed out, then to be told 'you still have alittle bit left'

Money was taken off the bill only by request and wasn't offered. Overall wasn't as great as it has been simply down to the attitude of the waitress who I haven't seen here before.

The man who worked along side her was lovely on the other hand and tried to be...
