Little Italy Restaurant — Restaurant in North East Derbyshire

Tonights service was absolutely appalling!!!! We booked this to celebrate a family get together and my daughters birthday. Table booked for 6pm. We were asked to pre-order, these orders didn't come out til 6.35pm!! We were rushed through our starters. (Plates bring cleared away while people still eating and then hovered over til finished) & mains which when serving, a waitress spilt a full glass of water over my father-in-law. 81 years old!!!! No apologies just 'its only water' and we had to ask for serviettes to dry him down. His entire leg was soaked!! After mains we were asked if we wanted pudding, we asked for a bit of a breather, but after the 3rd waitress came and asked for our order within minutes of each other 7.30pm WE asked did they need to flip the table???? At this point I was told 'of course you know we need the table'!! This reply absolutely surprised me!! This discussion went on for a few minutes, with me trying to explain i didnt know to be very rudely spoken to over and over again. I was absolutely NOT told at any point that they needed the table!! I explained this numerous times just to be told 'you were told'. I was not, and if you know me, you absolutely know I would have been on it!! She basically told me I was lying!!! When the bill came, my husband didn't leave a tip because of above situations. The lady who spilt the drink then came and basically had a go at us for complaining about the drink spilage and no apologies to be told its not her decision 🤔🤔 Before leaving the restaurant I spoke to the lady and man behind the bar explaining the waitress was very rude and I was told yet again I was wrong!! 10 of us stood outside trying to organise taxis when said waitress came out to speak to us. She basically came out for an argument!! Wouldn't let me get a word in and told me I'd disrespected the rules and she had proof I was a lier and showed me a book that had names and numbers saying all of these people were told! Sorry love, this is not proof and you didn't tell me!!! I went inside and asked bar manager to bring his waitress back inside. I also told him I was extremely disappointed with the service and that I'd been coming here for years, to yet again be told so you should know our rules!! Whether I'd ever been told before, I was categorically not told they needed the table back this evening and even more so not our fault food still took half an hour to be served!! I explained to him about the drink and he said 'did this happen tonight?' Yes! To be be told by the waitress she must have been pushed. That's it, blame the lady who was sat on the table behind, of course she must have pushed the waitress!!!🙄 Our bill was over £480!!!! Even if they had just apologised for what had happened, that would have been us done BUT to actually lie and treat us the way they did, is absolutely disgusting. You need to acknowledge spilling a full drink over someone whether its wine or water!! You need to know when you are wrong and just say sorry. The food was great as always but we will not be...

Horrendous service by the owner !!!!! Arriving at 8:20pm ready for our table at 8:30pm we were seated at 8:50pm, to order our meal at the bar and not at the table seated, unwelcoming and not the experience of a restaurant I would expect.

After being seated the cold aircon was blowing down my neck, asking the owner to kindly turn this off as it’s 3 degrees outside and personally don’t want to eat a meal stone cold! After looking at me and picking the remote to turn the aircon off to then turn back round rudely.

Ordering a Calzone, it appeared there was 3 pieces of pepperoni and minimal pieces of ham, I left majority of my meal and I didn’t want to eat dough. The owner asked if everything was ok to which I replied “there’s little meat in what I have ordered” to be told “that’s what you get. It’s a Calzone” rude, ignorant and arrogant is the only way I can describe!! Ordering a Penne Pollo, its what can only be described as a bowl of pasta with small 3 pieces of chicken, not what the menu describes. Totally in rations with the meat being served.

After travelling 40 minutes to a restaurant to be served with this kind of service is appalling. The owner should be ashamed that customers are walking out of what looks like a warm, family orientated place is nothing but cold, rude and unwelcoming. Would...
