P&D Gran Caffe — Restaurant in Liverpool

I love it here. The staff is friendly, the food, cakes and bakery items are ALWAYS fresh and good, the ice cream is fabulous. A very nice atmosphere, really enjoyable for a day out with friends, good for going out when you actually want to have conversations and don't like loud music. The place is full of happy energy, both because of the very nice staff and because of the nice clientele, I go there about twice a week, getting refreshed there when I have stuff to do in the city centre. It has become one of the places I always go out with friends, and never, not even once, had a bad experience here. I once was missunderstood by the staff in the custom drink I wanted to have (coffee with the pistachio sauce they have reserved for hot chocolate - a really good sauce made by them. They thought I wanted Pistachio Monin), they immediately realised the mistake, judging by the confused expressiom of mine rather than anything I've told them, threw away the coffee, and did the perfect one for me in no time. I came to know the staff and it's always a pleasure being served by them, as they not only offer you fresh cakes and food, but are giving them to you with the biggest smile on their face. Now, they opened a new restaurant upstairs (Brunchin). I don't know anything about that one as much, and I'm talking about the downstairs part. But as far as I've seen, the one upstairs, although another restaurant in itself, is...

I’d give them 0 stars if I could. Let me start with the fact that this business supports the Tories and organised catering for them on 2 occasions. The place used to be a nice casual cafe however now it became a big pretentious place and very overpriced. A few £ for a tiny piece of cake! The staff is nice enough, it’s a shame the owner treats them like garbage though. The cakes have fish gelatine in them which they don’t mention so if you’re a vegan or vegetarian then you might unknowingly eat an animal product. It blows my mind that the hygiene rating is 5 while there’s an ant infestation in most of their kitchen spaces. Enjoy your food! One manager is running the whole place and all the businesses the owner owns. The staff is underpaid, untrained, overworked and treated horribly. How this place is still running successfully is beyond me. My friend worked in one of their kitchens and absolutely hated it (yes, that’s how I found about all the above). I will never set my foot in there and give them any money especially since they support a party that ruined my city that they also live and have a business in. It’s a shame as their coffee and food is nice but it’s absolutely...

We were really hungry and took a gamble on eating at Hey Farina! Williamson Square isn't really known as a hotspot for fine dining but we (3 adults, 2 teens) were happy to have our preconceptions challenged. The vibe is a bit cafe-ish but the display of Italian breads and street food was enticing. Service was cheerful, prompt and attentive. Foodwise, all the bread based stuff we had was exceptional, from the mozzarella and Parma ham panini on sourdough to the the focaccia and panzerotto. Really event. Made to order salad was good and generous. The only slight slip up was with one of the pasta dishes; the oriechette had barely a trace of the tender stem broccoli and anchovy the menu promised, but was tasty nonetheless. The ravioli with creamed potato sauce and spicy sausage was generous and delicious. When giving feedback, the owner was apologetic where necessary and was quick to make things right. Top notch gelato too. A surprising little gem in a neglected part of town. We'd deffo...
