Unfortunately our dinner experience last Friday was not as great compared to the first time we've eaten there (On a Thursday).
Even though it's a Friday night (it was only half full with quite a few waiters around), we've ordered a bottle of Veuve Cliquot @ £79 but we had to top it up ourselves..
It would've been fine if they were too busy and not enough staff to serve the drinks but we witnessed some tables that ordered white wine had their wine poured throughout the night..
When it came to dessert time, we were very much looking forward to their dessert trolley but no one came and ask is if we wanted dessert after taking away the main dishes 15mins ago - by the time they introduced the dessert we had to leave.
The last thing was that the portion size on a Friday seems to be very different to a Thursday... I ordered the Veal Escalope Marinara on both occasions as I really enjoyed it the first time round and also thought the portion was decent. Unfortunately the dish came with 3 smaller than my palm pieces of Veal Escalope and just a handful of mussels (Totally different to December's Thursday visit).
My friend really enjoys authentic Italian Food, which they are (the taste is amazing by the way, please don't mistaken this) so weve decided to give them another shot in March. We've booked a Thursday night instead so hopefully the service will be...
Read moreI can't think of a place where I've had better Italian cooking outside of Italy!
We went on a Saturday evening at 18:30 and there was already a wonderful atmosphere and a warm Italian welcome from the staff.
We had Bruschetta (what else!?) and an anchovy fillet stater followed by chicken in cream and mustard sauce and lamb cutlets in a red wine sauce. Desert was Tiramisu, Profiteroles and an Amarreto sponge cake (yes we had three puddings between two people - we couldn't pick!).
All of it was excellent but the Bruschetta, Chicken, Tiramisu and Amarreto sponge where really exceptional! Fresh ingredients, wonderful rice sauces, and the lightest yet most flavourful sponge ever!!
The staff were very attentive without being overbearing and service was prompt even on a busy Saturday night.
There's lots on the menu (and if I had a criticism it would be that there's almost too much - it made it really hard to choose!!) so all but the very fussy-est of eaters will be able to find something they like.
Obviously it's not the cheapest place around but the value for money based on the quality is really good. If you're looking for a special meal out and/or you like Italian cooking then you...
Read moreDriven past this restaurant a number of times and always had people sitting outside so we thought we would try When we went in we realised why people sat outside The restaurant was stuck in the 80’s with plastic flowers and printed carpets The food on the whole was ok Would have been nice to have 1 waiter for the entire meal instead of the 4 different waiters we had We thought having an uncovered dessert trolley open to the elements in COVID times was not right especially since it was so close to the tables
We tried to pay by card on numerous occasions each time the terminal refused to work The lady asked if we could pay with cash instead and we explained that we only had £55 in cash The bill came to £62 including gratuity so we asked if we could pay just £55 as we needed to leave They said no and made us wait over 20 mins why they went looking for a swipe machine ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS TAKE OFF THE SERVICE CHARGE OF £7 AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD THE RIGHT MONEY
WONT BE GOING BACK!!!! No customer service just all...
