We went to Blue Sardinia in Guildford for Valentine’s Day but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant had a set menu priced at £65 per person but the options were quite limited. Since it was Valentine’s and everywhere else was fully booked, we decided to give it a try.
The portions were very small to the point that we had to order extra starters just to feel satisfied. Thankfully, they allowed it. Even so, the food was underwhelming, lacking the quality and flavour we expected for the price. The service was also slow and despite asking twice for something, it never arrived.
We were not the only ones feeling this way. We could hear other couples complaining about the portion sizes and the menu choices. One couple asked if they could order something other than what was on the set menu and when they were told no, they decided to leave. As they walked out, we overheard them saying they would just order a takeaway at home, knowing they would not find a last-minute table elsewhere.
The staff were polite and the atmosphere was pleasant but overall it did not feel like good value for money at all.
I had specifically chosen this restaurant for an Italian dining experience but the only pasta dish available was mushroom lasagna and there was no pizza on the menu. The mushroom lasagna was truly disappointing! Honestly, even a Tesco Ready Meal would have been more enjoyable. It did not feel like a true Italian experience at all. In comparison, Positano (another Italian restaurant in Guildford) is miles ahead in terms of food, service, and authenticity.
As for dessert, every option on the set menu included fruit, which was disappointing as I do not eat fruity deserts. I am not sure what the menu is like on a regular night, but overall, I was not impressed. For the price we expected much better. Unfortunately, it was not worth it and based on this experience, I would not...

Read moreThe restaurant is nicely-decorated and the staff are friendly. We’ve been to a few Italian restaurants, but to be honest, this is probably the worst one we’ve ever been in terms of the main dish quality.
The breaded king prawn as a starter is good, I would rate 4 out of 5. For main, My husband ordered a steak fillet, which is 25 pounds, but the meat quality is poor. As can been seen in the picture, there is a lot of fat and he cannot bite through. For the expensive steak, my husband would give 1.5 out of 5. The steak also comes with the fries, but they don’t have ketchup, which I don’t think it acceptable. We feel a bit surprised that a restaurant that cannot provide ketchup while they serve chips.
I ordered seam bream which is covered by cheese. Compared with the sea bass I had in other Italian restaurants, I would give 2.5 out of 5. In the end, we ordered the lemon tart, it’s very delicious but really small piece.
Overall, I would give today’s food 2.5 out of 5 in terms of the price and quality. The quality for Their main dishes does need...
