AMORES GEDLING — Restaurant in Gedling

The most bland food I've had in a long time. Maybe I just made a bad choice, but the Pizza Al Aglio was more a case of pesto bread than garlic bread. The Salmon Pasta was flavourless. Like cream poured on pasta and served. I definitely would not recommend this dish. The restaurant forgot to make one friends meal, meaning some had finished before she even got her dinner, and another friends salmon was burnt. To make matters worse, the bill was then overcharged by £27, by adding on a steak that we didn't have. Overall a massive disappointment from what was my favourite restaurant a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if the restaurant has changed ownership. They are also no longer accepting their VIP discount...

Amores has always been excellent. Great food and good service. However our last couple of visits have been very disappointing. The food was still great but the service was appalling. We were put in a corner where the table hadn't even been set properly. Our starters and main came really quickly but then we were forgotten. No service for drinks and not offered desserts. We sat for 20 mins with empty glasses and had to go and ask for the bill as we gave up waiting. The staff were very unfriendly, with the exception of the owner but he disappeared just after we had been seated. It is such a shame as we have had some lovely evenings there but will be giving it a miss at...

Pros: very welcoming and friendly staff lovely atmosphere with proper iconic Italian music such as Adriano Celentano, Pino Daniele and Pupo good choice of wine ample choice of food, with vegetarian options

Cons: the bread was very burned, but the staff has been kind and proactive and removed it from the bill even before I could let them know the mushroom risotto was a bit of a mess - undercooked rice and mushrooms and way too much garlic; it should be creamy, soft and mushroom-y but it was crunchy and very garlicky

Overall, it was an ok experience but I want to believe we've been unlucky with food only this time, I'll update my review in...
