"Started off with drinks at the bar whilst waiting for our friends to turn up. These were good but it went downhill from there. We had already been advised the fryer wasn't working, so there were a few dishes we couldn't order but this was fine. Firstly they had run out of Sea Bass and also Tomatoes which I think is needed for quite a lot of italian dishes!!! Starters were OK and then the problems started. The main courses came out one plate at a time. So our food didn't go cold we said to each other to start rather than wait for all the dishes to arrive. The Vegatarian Lasagna never came out, to which when asked by a waitress of the Chef he simply shrugged his shoulders as if to say I don't know where it is. This was all some 2 hours after we had sat down for our meal. There were only a couple of tables left in the restaurant by the time our food came so it wasn't anyone elses!!! Lasagna arrived eventually when most of us had finished our food. We ordered some more wine and the White and Rose Pinot Grigio both came out at room temperature rather than chiled. We didn't get chance to put them in the chiller to cool was the response!!! We did get 25% off and our friend that had the lasagna had it taken from the bill but we won't be rushing to eat there in the future. There where lots of staff on duty and the restaurant was quiet by time we got our mains so not sure why there was such a problem."

"Edit one year on. Sat eve, 8pm. Nearly empty restaurant. Last year gave 4 stars....this year struggled to give 2. So what was different? Staff: mostly ok. .just ok. If you are not ready to order then expect a long wait as they forget to return...both for ordering drinks and food. Had to locate someone. Not offered parmesan. Had to ask for pepper as well and waitress said i will try to find some then hunted round the other tables until she located one. Then- there seemed to be a volunteer working there- baggy grey t shirt and old jeans hanging halfway down his bottom.......but omg! Was he actually the manager? Complaints/comments not responded to except see below in food review. Food- just average. The cheese dip starter was just a cheese sauce- no better than I put on my homemade lasagne. Pasta with meatballs- husband struggled to find 3 meatballs. Crab canneloni- tasteless, pappy...ate only one. Courgette fritti...no courgette.....i did mention this and was told it 's hard to find ....so i picked up several random pieces of fried batter and none had courgette in . No feedback from kitchen or manager. On paying when asked if all ok i mentioned it again and they said oh that 's a shame. That was it!! Two good things- beer glass was chilled and the organic wine (i dont usually do organic) was super. Won 't be returning in a hurry. Food is great here. Service friendly. Doesn 't matter what they do to this space it never quite works.....noisy and unwelcoming- hard to hear eachother speak. Certainly not a cosy, couples type place. Prezzo across the road has nice booths but terrible food and service."
