"This is my fifth time at this restaurant. It's an Italian restaurant. The waiters are very friendly and there is no service charge. Pizza is made on site, starting with the dough! Shrimp rice is very delicious, sticky rice with bouncing prawns, is a must order! The scallop pasta is really recommended, it's a little bit bland, but the scallop is just right. Raw Scotch beef is a great starter and a great accompaniment to cheese. Will come again!"

"I met up with my brother Chris and his wife Jean this week and they chose their local Italian restaurant La Meridiana in East Horsley for our meal. It’s a lovely airy venue in a small Surrey village with comfortable chairs around roomy tables which have lovely white linen cloths and napkins. We received a prompt and friendly greeting from the staff and we decided on their Lunch Set Menu. For Starters we all chose Bianchetti Fritti(Deep-fried breaded whitebait with tartare sauce)which was hit, crispy and excellent. For Mains Jean chose Panciotti di Melanzana e Ricotta (v)(Stuffed pasta with Ricotta cheese eggplant with spinach puree cream sauce)which looked interesting. Chris went for Pollo Monte Bianco(Pan fried chicken breast with mushrooms sauce served with new potatoes)which looked appealing and they said they enjoyed their choices. I decided on Lasagna Al Forno(Layers of pasta with Bolognese sauce parmesan cheese, baked in the oven)which came piping hot and was a very authentic, generous and very tasty portion. We accompanied this with a very good Nero d'Avola for Chris and I and a Rosé for Jean. I decided to forgo Desserts because my delicious lasagne was very filling but Chris and Jean went for Homemade Tiramisu which looked amazing and they said was lovely. We finished with Italian coffee, double expressos for Chris and I, and an Americano for Jean. We all really enjoyed meeting up in a lovely restaurant!"

"Small, busy and crowded restaurant but with a great ambience and a welcoming vibe. The food, when it came, was very good indeed. We ate early on a very hot Saturday evening and had to wait more than an hour for our starters to arrive. The service, though friendly and efficient (requests were actioned properly and promptly with a smile) suffered from a kitchen that didn't seem able to keep up with the orders. In fairness, this might have been because the place was packed with diners the whole time. This meant it was a very noisy restaurant and it was hard for our table of 4 to hear one another speak without shouting. The location is excellent and we will definitely come back possibly at a quieter time of day/week."

"The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Just a heads up: you don't need to order any sides with your main course, as it already comes with potatoes, vegetables, and salad. We weren't aware of that and ended up with a large takeout bag that we donated to the homeless."

"This was a mixed experience. I was looking forward to one of my favourite Italian meals: scaloppine al limone. My partner went for a classic spaghetti bolognese. The veal seemed to be a rather thick cut, and was tough. Thankfully, this was replaced with an apology for a chicken cacciatore, which was pretty good. The chef also made a fresh bolognese, rather than simply keeping my husband's meal warm. We almost left, though, at that point, as there were several people coming in not to eat, but one, very loudly on her phone and chatting with the waiter, followed by a fairly obnoxious man who seemed to be collecting a take away. We stayed for dessert, which was good delighted to see that they make zabaglione for only one, which is rare. Overall, service was very good, but the place has all the ambience of a take away. Don't go if you want to have a conversation with a companion."

"Gustavo Woltmann Incredible spot run by a coeliac owner. Nearly every dish can be prepared gluten-free, though there's a small fee for the gluten-free version. The owner, who was exceptionally friendly, took around 15/20 minutes to chat with us at the end, which was a delightful touch. The food was outstanding, and the portions were generous—I even had to take half of my main course home! Highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back!"
"Went here randomly as the nearest place to where I met a business partner... and was blown away by the food quality and service. The staff were fantastic attentive and engaging, and clearly very experienced. The price seemed impossibly good for such high quality meals, with very decent portion sizes. The spicy chicken penne was amazing. The tomatoes tasted very real and the aroma reminded me of my Mediterranean heritage. The pizzas looked amazing too, freshly made on site from scratch, baked in view of the seating area, and a very good size considering the price and attention to detail. No silent adding of tips to the bill was the icing on the cake."

"I'm really not one for complaining but my anger at the treatment I received in this restaurant is such that I feel I need to vent it as much as possible and let anybody considering eating here know how the management feel about paying customers. We came here with friends to celebrate our engagement and had a very pleasant lunch with great service. Then after we had paid we were approached by the manager and very rudely told we really had to leave now as he needed the table. We had no prior request to do so but we eat out all the time and are well aware that this is often asked of diners. Do not have a problem with this. Where my problem lies is the way we were spoken to and humiliated in front of a busy restaurant. He then went on to call us liars, argued with us and his response when we said we wouldn't be back was well don't be back We were basically dumped onto the pavement after paying for lunch. I hate having to complain and I'd rather fix problems when they occur but there was no talking to this arrogant little man. I read reviews all the time to make restaurant choices and I hope the management of this place realise that if you treat customers in such a shocking way that we can actually do something about and make others aware of what to expect. There is a vast array of other dining options in Glasgow so choose wisely and give your hard earned money to people who work for it and truly appreciate your custom."

"didn't know this place was even there. very backward inside, like an 80s Italian. they don't let it go. both eating and service were great. our waitress was really nice and offered us the pre-theater menu, although it was past time for it. the food arrived quickly and the portion sizes were really generous. after eating good and brilliant service we have another good surprise when the tiny bill arrived. we had three courses and a bottle of wine for £41. so good. we agreed that we would definitely visit azzurro again."

"I've been here a few times and always recommend it to people. considering that it is in the middle of the west end slap bang, the prices are great that I will be compared to another Italian place I will visit this evening in surrey, and the place in surrey is more expensive. the service is always good and eating is always great. the only thing I think is the frontage, it looks like the inner outdated, sticky and not completely hygienic, but that is not my experience at all, so don't let it go. highly recommended, and I will continue to go back for great Italian cuisine!"

"Recommended to us by a friend, Italian Pizza Connection is an authentic Italian pizzeria with ultra friendly staff and gigantic, thin crust pizzas. Since it was very near our hotel in Bayswater, we decided to check it out. It had been a particularly long morning since we had just checked into our hotel (yes, we got lost on the way there), we had nearly nothing for breakfast, I almost missed my morning coffee (I am pretty much a monster without my coffee in the morning), and we were famished by lunch time. A giant pizza sounded perfect. As soon as we walked in, we got a big waft of baking pizza, rich tomato sauce, smells of freshly baked pizza crust and smokey smells of herbs and spices....read more"

"I decided to try the Sausage Mix for £11.95, which had a tomato sauce base, vegan mozzarella, vegan sausage slices, red onion, roasted red and green peppers, jalapeños, and olive oil. The chef hand-stretched the dough and cooked it in the pizza oven for about 4 minutes. The pizza was served piping hot with a garlic and herb dip. The base had a nice mix of crispiness and softness, the vegan cheese was delicious, and overall the pizza tasted great. However, I found that the toppings slipped off when I tried to eat it because all of the cheese was underneath the toppings. I also only found one slice of jalapeño, so it lacked the heat I was hoping for. Overall, the pizza was tasty but could use some improvements in the distribution of toppings."

"the restaurant is local, but it is quite not descriptive from the outside. it is on the small side, quite basic and in an unattractive parade of shops. yet that besides the restaurants fokus offers good Italian cuisine at a great price. the service was both fast and polite. we shared a large starter of mixed antipasti with plenty of meat, cheese and broth. for our main we chose two pizzas that were both big and packed with toppings (pizzeria chains to shame). our son had meatballs and spaghetti from the children's menu that contains a dessert. the house (red) wein was ok, but there is a decent wine list to choose from. we will definitely go back, it is one of the more authentic Italians in the opposite."
"Third visit, had not used restaurant recently. Nice decor and friendly staff. 3 of us had the set menu cost £22 included a coffee and two courses. I had a nice aubergine starter would have again followed by rost lamb excellent meat..,my husband had monk fish with olives and chilli garlic he said it overpowered the delicate fish which was a shame for him. 3 of our friends had food from a la carte menu I would say starters were a bit pricey but looked good."

"we were looking for a quick appetizer, as we have a short time between afternoon activities and a visit to the citizen’s theatre, training spotting, fantastic, but that is for another review site! very practical restaurant for parking and theatre, and welcomed by friendly staff. restaurants were quiet around 18 o'clock, we both chose from the 2 cursor menu. we had bruschetta and zuppa di fagioli to begin with a side garlauchbrot, the bruschetta was fantastic. for the net I had pollo alla cacciatore, nicely cooked and tasted fantastic. my wife had pennette amatriciana, she also thought is really nice. we will certainly go back when we have a little more time to relax and enjoy the experience, but the personal and the service we have received was very good."

"I have been to this restaurant before and decided to make a reservation for a group of 7 people for dinner at 7.30pm on Saturday 4th May. Not everyone arrived at the same time, so I informed the staff that they could use the table for other customers as one person had dropped out. We were willing to wait to order our food, but it took a long time to get the waiter's attention. When we were finally ready to order, we were told that the waiter could only deliver orders to tables and not take them. We then had to flag down a waiter to order our food. The food arrived quickly for the 5 people who were already seated, but the pizza I ordered was not up to the usual standard. The cheese was not melted enough and there were very few sausage slices. I was also surprised to find olives with stones still inside on the pizza. The service was poor, we were never asked if we were happy with our food or if we wanted anything else. We decided to skip dessert due to the long wait. It was also difficult to get our bill, as the table that came in after us was served first. Overall, the service was unacceptable and we were disappointed with our experience at Al Forno in Putney. I have visited this restaurant before and had a great experience, but this visit was a letdown. I will not be recommending this restaurant to others."

"Wonderful Italian food! It is often hard to find good Italian pasta for someone with Celiacs. Cotto beats the sign! The owner welcomed every table and made us feel really comfortable and at home."
