"My partner and I went to La Piazetta on a Friday night for his birthday as we both love Italian food and previously had very good experiences there, however something has gone seriously downhill in the past year as we have had two bad experiences there now! The first of these two experiences the service was great however the food was not up to standard of what we have had previously however it was a busy Saturday night so we put it down to it being busy and just agreed it was fine however the experience we had on Friday the 20th of October was extremely bad! My partner has also been recently diagnosed with gluten and dairy intolerance which was mentioned on the booking we made. My partner had the Gamberoni Piccanti and I had the Fungghi Gorgonzola as starters, my starter was very nice however my partners was not as he had a maximum of 4-5 Prawns which to be honest was not worth £9.95 at all! For mains my partner had a gluten free vegan pizza with roasted vegetables and I had the Linguini Marinara and we were not happy at all! The pizza was burnt on one side and very pasty to the taste on the other edge, with minimal pizza sauce, a small handful of vegan cheese, 1 tiny bit of pepper, 2 slices of masserated aubergine and 2 small slices of half grilled courgette! My linguini was a pale of what I had previously when I ordered this dish! I had several empty mussel shells, 2 pieces of Squid and Prawns, and about 3 clams, but when I had this dish before it had almost double the amount of everything and tasted fresh instead of a sauce that tasted premade and a brought in product with a handful of herbs chucked in. I don 't know if the chef has changed or if they have had to drastically cut costs or what I have no idea however I would not recommend this place to anyone where before I would go away ranting and raving about this restaurant! We also did not recieve a checkback once while we were there! Nobody came to ask about our food or if everything was okay, this to me is a bad sign in a restaurant seeing as I work in the industry myself and know how food service in restaurants works. When we spoke to one of the servers about the meal she said she would speak to her manager and she didn 't come back with a resolution to the problem she just gave us the bill with the pizza removed which I requested. I would not recommend this place to anyone as it is currently stands because it has certainly fallen from grace and I do not believe me and my partner will be returning."

"My husband and I had booked a table for 2 at Augustine as part of our Christmas Day out on Friday 23 December 2022. We arrived excited and very much looking forward to our meal following all the lovely reviews however it didn’t go well at all! Our booking was at 1.45pm and we called to say that we were running 10 mins late. This didn’t go down too well as the kitchen closed at 2pm. We arrived at 1.54 after sprinting down the road to make it and apologising profusely. I can honestly say that I’ve never received a greeting like this.. I think I have greeted a plumber to my home better than that! Clearly she was VERY upset that we were 10 minutes late. Well it didn’t get any better, the menus were placed in front of us (with no word spoken) and she came back probably around 3 minutes later to take the order and of course we hadn’t really had a chance to look, we were still trying to catch our breath and dab the sweat from our brows! So we didn’t really have time to take the menu in and had to order something quickly to avoid upsetting her any further. Unfortunately the service didn’t get any better, the whole experience was rushed and we just felt uncomfortable. It was like sitting in someone’s house who doesn’t really want you there! The food and wine itself was nice and the set lunch menu is excellent value but the service unfortunately let it down hugely."

"I don’t recommend coming here unless you plan on partying all night. Myself and my partner came for a 1 night staycation on Valentine’s Day. When we arrived we were blown away by the customer service at the front desk and the interiors in the room. When we came back to the room for the night, there was a lot of noise in the hotel from around 9pm onwards. We didn’t mind this at first as it was still quite early in the evening. We were woken up from 3am-7.30am as there was people slamming doors in the hallway, talking very loudly and playing music in the rooms next to us. We were shocked how management could allow this. It sounded like there was 6 people or more in the room next to us drinking and playing music. We came to the dean for a relaxing night away but unfortunately we came home exhausted . We understood when we booked the hotel that there was nightclubs nearby but the issue wasn’t the outside noise it was the noise inside which was insanely loud. I mentioned this at the front desk when we were checking out and they seemed shocked and said they do walks of the hallways during the night but the noise was so loud I didn’t understand how they couldn’t have heard it. They offered to compensate us with brunch in Sophie’s rooftop which we appreciated but we turned down as we wanted to leave. Overall, lovely interiors and customer service but it is definitely more of a partying hotel than a relaxing quiet one. Unfortunately we won’t be back."

"If you think Italian food is your local Italian on the high street think again. Dieci introduces you to flavours, concepts and dishes that will transport you the fields of Tuscany, the cobbled streets of Florence and the terraces of Rome. Whether it’s the main menu or some of the smaller bites that are available, each dish is perfectly crafted and executed to the most exacting standards. You can tell that head chef Fabrizio pours his heart, soul and a lot of love into each dish. The innovative edge he brings to classic Italian ingredients is a joy to behold and each mouthful will send you to heaven. Parmesan churros, arrancini, carpaccio with tuna, Burrata with sun dried tomatoes, a goats cheese medallion these were just some of the delights we sampled. For mains, we had steak, with a sweet, rich and creamy peppercorn sauce. Dessert was sensational. Panna cotta, tiramisu, cheesecake and a chocolate fondant bathed in salted caramel sauce. Everything was simply perfection. This is Italian food taken to the next level. An artist who has mastered his craft. The settings are tranquil. If you fancy the perfect end to the experience, the attentive staff will take you to the cigar bar where you can sample the finest cigars in the city. The service is impeccable. Maurizio and Claudio made us feel extremely welcome and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Quality runs through the veins of this establishment and it is a must try for anyone looking to push the boat out for a special occasion. Could not fault any aspect of this visit. 11/10"
