"Sunday 6pm service slow...had to keep waving for service....when we sat down we asked if the Tiramasu was available as we had a guest coming that was having ONLY that .....we were told it was available but when we ordered it were told it was still setting and not ready for another hour ! We were offered it on the house later but we had theatre tickets so that was that. Great food otherwise as usual....just need more staff or staff who are a bit more attentive at the table. There was a great big labrador shaking and licking itsself in the booth area near the kitchen which was a bit off putting..it wasnt a disability dog as far as we could make out. If you dont mind dog hair floating about while you eat then this wont bother you. Love the food here and this was the first below expectations visit at this venue in 12 visits"

"I recently dined at this restaurant during the summer and, as usual, had a great time. I would recommend it for a meal with friends as it offers a unique experience. However, it seems that there may have been a change in ownership. While the waitresses were lovely and very accommodating, the food was disappointing. The lasagne had to be sent back because it was cold and the garlic bread lacked flavor. The only positive aspect of the meal was the hardworking waitstaff who clearly deserve recognition for their efforts."

"Left waiting for far too long to be brought to our table. Took a long time for anyone to serve us. The food was uninspiring and rubbery and the staff seemed unenthusiastic. We were also told they didn 't have a couple of things on the menu. The waitress didn 't even come back to tell me if the thing I ordered was available or not as she was unsure while I was ordering it. I got an if this isn 't available what else what you like . It 's kind of basic hospitality to know what is available on the menu or not and also to come back and confirm this so I know what I 'm actually getting. Seems basic to me. Then the icing on the cake was the waiter had a full blown argument with another customer in the middle of the restaurant. Very unprofessional and from what I overheard of the conversation they were completely justified in complaining. I 'm mystified as to why this place has 4 stars as our experience was not very good."

"I go to a lot of Pizza Express branches, and I am not just a foodie but a pizza connoisseur! This branch is okay, but as others have said it's a bit gloomy and the atmosphere could be better. More importantly, the pizza. The quality is pretty much standard, but there is always some variance between the branches, and this one doesn't do quite as well as Derby on the Calabrese or other Romana pizzas. I think the chefs are not quite en-par with the better branches here in rottingham."

"It was a quiet Monday night as we rolled up to Al Dente on Easter Road, a tiny Italian restaurant that sits unassumingly half-way down Easter Road. You’re instantly drawn to the Ospitalia Italiana gold award proudly stamped into its façade; in my experience, these less glamourous eateries always turn out to be a winner. There’s an open kitchen, and chef/owner Graziano is gabbing away in his native tongue to a friend. On entering, he is swiftly out to greet us, alongside our waitress for the evening. The Italian excitedly takes us through today’s specials and retreats back behind the stove. My starter tonight is warm-baked Apulian potato tart with cured meat and mozzarella £5.30), with Sarah going for ‘Sautee de pesce’ priced at £6.80. The dining room is immediately awash with the wonderful aromas of garlic and white wine, and with one large breath drawn in, Sarah boldly states “Mmmm, it doesn’t get better than that”. She might be right. Her dish comes out first and I was glad to see just a simple plate of mussels, calamari, prawns, clams, and a decent chunk of good bread to soak us those juices. The last time we ordered this in a restaurant the shellfish were full of grit; thankfully, this chef has given his produce the respect it deserves, and that respect extends to the cooking of it – simple, but effective, the way it should be. My dish was equally as good: quality ham, gooey cheese, crunchy top and potatoes with a slight bite to them – a dish most suited to this cold winter evening. Another couple of Italian gentlemen entered the restaurant and the banter between chef and customer flowed. It’s a definite indicator of authenticity when fellow countrymen dine in such restaurants, and a far cry from the more generic offerings that lie over on Leith Walk. I opted for one of the specials in the form of pork loin with gorgonzola, honey, and roasted vegetables £14.80). This plate is never going to win any awards for presentation, but its rusticity wasn’t without"

"Me and my friend went for dinner last Monday,the waiter was so far not interested to do his job,or he might not know how to do it,He just damp my cuttleries on the table when there was a table napkin for this purpose.We both had prawns as a main and garlic bread which was amazing, and cannolo so called siciliano(but only the shape would remind you of that) which was soggy an tasteless,and trust me I know what I'm saying about cannolo being sicilian.Later my husband join us and he ordered spaghetti carbonara which was made with bacon,no black pepper....and again his cuttleries was damped on the table without even being wiped after we had dinner and was some sauces .When we asked for the bill they told me they can't give me a printed bill,just an old fashioned hand written bill on 2024.I gave the 3 stars o ly for the amazing prawns and garlic bread taste,nothing else."

"I have been coming to this restaurant on and off for a few years, and every time I have encountered issues. Despite this, I kept coming back because the food is actually quite good. However, my most recent visit yesterday was the final straw. It seems like this establishment does not learn from its mistakes. I was told that I could no longer request a cocktail that was not on the menu (which had never been an issue before) because the waitress was unfamiliar with it. The food for my family of four arrived quickly, so quick that our drinks (1 lemonade, 2 mocktails, and 1 cocktail) had not yet been served. After inquiring about them, we were told that the barman was new. Despite this, we had to ask twice for a jug of water in the meantime, as we had no beverages. Strangely, the barman had no trouble making drinks for a couple who arrived after us. Our drinks still had not arrived after 45 minutes, and when they did, they came after we had already finished our meal. We sent them back. After speaking with one of the managers, who acknowledged our frustrations and attributed the issues to staff shortages due to illness (not new staff), we paid and left. To the owners of Blue Zenzer, you run a subpar business and should consider closing. It is clear that the customer is not a priority for you, and it feels like you take us for granted. Harrow would not miss your presence."

"The restaurant has a concise menu, but their pasta and pizza dishes are delicious. They also offer a variety of large desserts, along with good coffee and tea. Their selection of wines and cold beer is decent. The lunchtime special is a great deal. The service is friendly and attentive. I enjoy visiting with my family once a week. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with no pretentious vibes. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly."

"This is a classic Italian restaurant with nice vegetarian options and relatively reasonable prices. Our waiter was charming, the food was copious if a little rich, and we enjoyed a nicely selected wine. If in town, I’ll definitely go back."

"So we booked in for a quick family catch up. The restaurant was clean and tidy but not to well lit. The young lady who met us at the door was clearly in a bad mood and didnt want to be there. We got taken to our table in the most abrupt fashion . We sat there for an age waiting to have a drinks order taken i gestured to this waitress who 100% seen me but turned her back. Eventually a male waiter came over . He was very polite and friendly . Our orders were placed with no issue drinks came out quickly and the food followed . The pizzas were all fantastic . We had to get the waiters attention for more drinks and no check backs were made. It was the end of the evening and our waiter and the shift manager were cleaning down and I felt this contributed to our service not being that attentive as they were clearly busy cleaning everywhere. So to sum up great food friendly staff bar one and maybe best to avoid booking at the end of the day"

"I was taken to this restaurant for afternoon tea on my birthday. Unfortunately, the sandwiches were stale and it was obvious they had been made a while ago and stored in a fridge. The salmon was also brown in color. I informed a staff member about this issue, who then spoke to the chef. The chef insisted that the salmon was smoked, but as a chef myself, I wouldn't serve it to my customers. Additionally, when I ordered a flat white coffee, I was given ordinary coffee instead. The staff member later returned to apologize, saying she forgot and was tired, but she would go make me a flat white coffee. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit."

"I was staying in nearby Stockton-on-Tees overnight and was a little worried that I'd struggle for a vegan evening meal. Was really pleasantly surprised to find that Cena has a vegan menu (3 starter options, 3 options for mains, 2 dessert options . I had the Vegetable Antipasto (delicious tapenade! , Sundried Tomato Risotto (very hearty and the Chocolate Sponge (with mandarin sorbet . The great food was complemented by excellent service, and I would happily recommend Cena to any fellow vegans looking for good quality Italian food. Would be 5 stars if it was possible to give 5 stars for a non-vegan/vegetarian restaurant. :"

"The food was ok at best, which was very disappointing as we normally dine at the parent restaurant, Il Portico, which is excellent, so my girlfriend ordered the Spaghetti alle Vongole as she loved it the week prior at Il Portico thinking it would be the same and it was horrible. My Tagliatelle w/ wild boar ragu was ok. Then the server who was not helpful overall went on to spill my red wine on my shoes as well as the purse of the lady sitting next her who had it on the floor next to her table. He never apologized quickly cleaning up the floor and providing me a replacement glass of red filled exactly to the level it was when spilled (less than a third filled). We complained to the main waiter who told us the server was new and then the manager who honestly could not care less. We will never return and have told all our friends to avoid."

"Avoid at all costs, and it cost a lot!. I went to Las Iguanas last night for the first time and I have to say, I was NOT impressed. We were seated fairly quickly, but that is where the praise for Las Iguanas ends Service was extremely slow and somewhat incompetent... We only had two courses each but ended up waiting for so long that we were actually in the restaurant for 3 and a half hours!! When the food finally arrived, it was brought out at different times (some of us had finished before others had even got theirs) and it was cold. Portions were also far too small given the high prices, especially the desserts. For what we paid I'd expect far better quality, bigger portions and...read more"

"I don't normally do reviews, but this place was a disaster. We went in with a group of 6. They can't split checks so we sat as 2 tables of 3. Table 1 ordered and they sent it to the kitchen. The waitress came back and took Table 2's order. Table 1 had ordered a couple starters. Table 2's food showed up quickly and we insisted they eat without us. They finished their meal while Table 1 sat with no food. About 30 minutes after we ordered our starters showed up. Then another 20 minutes past with nothing. We ran out of time and asked to have our meals boxed. That took another 10 minutes. The place seems to be run by a bunch of teenagers and I'm sure they were just punishing us for asking to split the ticket. Plus, they were fairly rude about the whole situation. This is a huge shame because last year we ate here with no issues and convinced our friends to go with us this time. Never again."

"A Local Favourite. I can't quite understand some of the reviews I have seen here. I have no idea why anyone would choose this small, independent restaurant for your office party of people -I'm pretty sure you couldn't fit anything like that number in here..This is one of the few remaining traditional, independent businesses in the area, and it offers a much more intimate experience than can be found at the likes of Lobster Burger or Polpo. I'm not saying that it cn't be a bit cramped on a busy night, but this is part of its charm...and there is outdoor seating too, if you are so inclinedMy food was simple, unpretentious and excellent: my lingine con frutti di mare was packed with very fresh prawns, scampi, squid, clams and mussels and steamed in foil. The tomato sauce that accompanied it was delicate and well-balanced.My companion had the set menu: avocado vinaigrette, followed by risotto agli asparagi (asparagus risotto) for The avocado was perfectly ripe,and came served on a nice (if unannounced) bed of salad -the only criticism was that the sauce wasn't exactly vinaigrette, but something slightly creamier -it still tasted good though. The risotto was also very pleasant, the asparagus being cooked through (but not over-done), which made a pleasant change from the current trend for serving it partially-cooked. I also liked the free prosecco to start with and the amaretto and amaretti biscuits that they gave you after your meal. Sure, it isn't the reason i came here, but these nice little touches are appreciated. Service was charming and very attentive. I liked the fact that they gave me a finger-bowl because of my seafood."

"Friendly popular little Italian on Ecclesall Road South. Fairly standard menu, though a bit light on vegetarian options, but the dishes we had last night were excellent tender tasty grilled artichokes on flatbread as a starter, a substantial plate of sea bass and accompanying roast potatoes and veg, and an equally generous sized dish of homemade cannelloni, plus a rocket and Parmesan salad. Service was really quick and warm despite the busy evening, and the place has a friendly atmosphere: perhaps just a bit noisy lots of hard surfaces! till it quietened down a bit after 8.30. It’s worth noting that despite the big BYOB sign outside £2 corkage per bottle La Luna does have a decent short wine list. A nice place, and one to add to your list."

"This restaurant is always a top choice for us when we visit Stratford upon Avon with our 6 year old grandson. We always receive a friendly greeting and enjoy delicious pizzas every time. Our go-to is the Romano pizza, which is always fresh and flavorful. The staff, Sally and Blanca, are fantastic with our grandson and really make the experience special for him. We can't wait for our next visit. Overall, we give this place a perfect score for food, service, and atmosphere: 5 out of 5."
