"The quality of the food was good, and the service was satisfactory, although there was a 20-minute delay announced after we placed our orders. Despite the restaurant not appearing overly busy, we assumed the delay was due to our choices. The staff kindly acknowledged my wife's birthday, which was a thoughtful gesture. Overall, I would return to this restaurant, but I would consider exploring other options first to ensure a good variety of choices for a similar price point."

"The restaurant should definitely implement separate queues for those with reservations and those without. When we arrived with a booking, it seemed like the staff were unsure of how to handle us. They were busy, which I understand, but we ended up sitting for 20 minutes without a menu. When we finally did get one, it was the wrong one. I tried to order a pizza, only to be informed that they don’t serve pizza in the evening. On the bright side, the burger we ordered as a side was good, and it was great to enjoy a meal out."

"We could not fault our visit on the Friday night, the food was great and arrived sooner than expected, the staff were attentive and friendly especially the blond lady behind the bar. Sadly on the Saturday evening due to who we can only assume to...be the owner being front of house our visit was very different! We were asked by one of the other members of staff to place our order at so they could squeeze it in before a booking at which we did although the presumed owner wasn't keen to take the order as just before we ordered some people clearly friends and family turned and she was more interested in getting outside to personally take their order. So we waited over mins for an order that would take no more than mins to cook, and to our surprise the family/friends got their food with still no sign of ours! When my husband questioned where our food was he was told that she (presumed owner) had accidentally put our order at the wrong end of queue! Amazingly it then turned up within mins and I have to say was very tasty! It seems she would rather give priority to people not paying full than customers that are. Such a same as this could be a really nice place to eat even with the limited menu they have at moment."

"Booked Esca on chance as it was near Glasgow Green and Barrowlands Ballroom. I was not disappointed, as we were shown quickly to our table and had prompt service. We were both able to order easily from the choices on the pre-theatre menu and I was impressed by the vegetarian 'meatballs ' with spaghetti. The bill was very reasonable for the food and wine we enjoyed and I would return!"

"For our starters, we ordered the seafood gratin and garlic bread with mozzarella from the Italian menu. My wife enjoyed the gratin, but the cheesy garlic bread, while tasty, didn’t justify its £7 price tag; it tasted like a slice from a standard supermarket loaf. For our main courses, we opted for dishes from the Turkish menu, which were excellent. The portion sizes were generous, and the meals offered good value for money. My wife had the Lamb Chops, and I tried the Mixed Shish, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The desserts were also pleasing, though it was odd that the dessert menu wasn’t available online like the main courses. We were glad to try the baklava selection, which offered a nice variety. Overall, we had a great experience and I would recommend this restaurant. I would definitely return if I’m in the area again. Thank you!

"Great little Italian cafe in Dalston. The food was good and the service quick and efficient which was perfect as we were heading to the theatre. Only negative we were seated close to the toilet and the door did not shut properly when unoccupied so we spent a lot of our time up and down trying to keep it closed!"

"The staff were very friendly, and the food was good They were attentive and we didn't wait for anything. Had good music and felt like a real Italian, rather than a zizzi or prezzo chain The only negative was the bill. We didn't have alcohol yet our drinks bill came to around pound for cokes and a soda and lime which I felt was overly expensive. But the good was good and overall it was enjoyable."

"Unfortunately the meal came out really slow we had arrived on time and we had to wait for nearly an hour. We had to get to the theatre and once the meal came we had to bolt it. As we had only 10 mins left. I could not do this so had to leave my meal. The waitress was very sweet and tried to help with a complimentary drink, but I didn’t want this. I left over 50% of my meal. They said we could come back for a free pudding but we had other plans. They gave us 10% off the meal. This was not good enough and we did not have time to object. This was our 39th wedding anniversary too! What we did eat of the food was good, but we will not be going back."

"The appetizer was fantastic, but I could make a better main course at home. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was lacking, though the shrimp was good. It seems like they simply provided the raw ingredients. I recommend going to San Carlos in town to learn how to cook properly. If you are not familiar with authentic Italian cuisine, this average quality may be sufficient for you. Otherwise, you may be more satisfied with the steak dishes."

"I can't fault La Favorita, their pizzas are the best I've ever had, outisde of Italy. The smokey wood fired taste, the base, touch of oregano, the quality of ingredients are genuinely mouth-watering Having had quite a few deliveries, I find collection is the best method. I have noted that they have reheating instructions on the box now. I do pop it in the oven for or mins on a pizza stone after collecting it, unless it was fresh out of the oven. To be completely honest, I would eat it cold for breakfast too. It's a shame they no longer sell the chicken broccolli pasta and I don't find their arancini that good. The last few times, they have been overcooked and far too expensive for what you get. The calamari has been excellent on occasion, on others, not the best. I find their pizzas are mostly consistently excellent. Having tried many others in the area, there is no competition. Apart from their garlic bread, I have found somewhere that I prefer but the pizzas.....faultless."

"Pizzas were the best we have ever had and wine was good. Restaurant is small and looks more like a café. Seems busy on takeaways. Lighting too bright a few candles would have made all the difference to the ambience. Tables were slow to be cleared when people had left and looked more like truck café tables than restaurant. Cannot fault the food."

"Lovely little Italian that is very unpretentious. However the food is fabulous and the staff very friendly and accommodating. They had full knowledge of all the specials and an amazing variety on the menu. It would be hard to find someone who didn’t like anything on the menu. There’s a lovely little garden area for alfresco dining which we made full use of. Definitely will be coming back."

"Usually go to Richmond to meet with family for evening dinner, but parking getting worse and worse. Chiswick proved a great alternative with evening parking a lot easier than daytime, albeit Chiswick is well served by Tube Overground. Closest tube to Valentina's is Chiswick Park about a 5 minute walk. The restaurant front part is an Italian deli, with the restaurant behind and an inviting glowing pizza oven towards the rear. Reception and attentiveness of staff throughout was excellent. Food range was well thought through with sufficient if not more for the vegetarian diner. We had 3 course meal with drinks for a group of 4 and it worked out all in £37.50 a head. Very pleasant ambience, relaxed but attentive and quality superb. Would definitely go again."

"The food at this restaurant is consistently great, with welcoming staff and a menu that offers delicious options at an affordable price. Whether you're just popping in for a sandwich or a starter, or going all out with a three-course meal, the portions are satisfying."

"We were there to meet friends and so were not at all pleased when the music was suddenly turned up very loud. We asked for it to be turned down and it was so that’s good but why turn it up in the first place?? We thought that Service was a bit slow. But we love the food and the restaurant is very convenient for us."

"I’ve been to a few places, and each time I tried something different, all of which were wonderful and delicious. The bread served with olive oil and vinegar was fantastic; despite its simplicity, the bread was incredibly fresh and light. The spiced vegetables paired perfectly with the fish they serve. The profiteroles were to die for—so light and fluffy! It’s definitely worth every extra penny. Highly recommended. Enjoy!"

"it is one of those places where you go back, although you know that there are better Italian restaurants. the ground? portions are quite large, prices reasonable and quality of the food is good. more important, however, is the mood of the place: the workers smile and welcome the point that they enjoy their job! The waitress is always trying to hear them and recommend the right dish, moreover, they can see from their table the cooking kitchen, which is always a good sign. there is also a beautiful back garden to relax between the curses and the beautiful red house wine makes its time there ever more pleasant"
