"Amici London failed to live up to its reputation. Even though they have an amazing patio with heaps of sun, the service was terrible! It took a long time for our drinks to arrive and even longer (1+ hour for our food to be brought to the table (even though we pre-ordered . The rosé was very watery, though pricy. The salad I had was very dissappointing. I ordered a burrata salad which consisted of a piece of burrata, literally 4 cherry tomatoes, a little bit of rocket salad and some pesto on top (which tasted like the pesto from the supermarket . Very plain though I paid £13!! I 'm not an expert but the burrate wasn 't creamy at all (it tasted more like mozzarella and even though I ordered a main, they served me a small portion. When I checked the bill they charged me for a main-sized portion (I brought this up at the counter but they wouldn 't recognize my problem as this is just the portions they serve and no one has ever complained about it . We ordered coffee for dessert for which we waited another 30 minutes. When we decided to ask for the bill instead and leave the coffee (as we had another appointment to go to the waitress suddenly decided to make our coffees anyway which we then were forced to get as a take-away. The coffee beans were burned and we paid the price of a regular/large-sized coffee but got served a small one. We mentioned all of the above and made note of our negative experience at the counter but we had to pay full price and (more importantly didn 't even get as much as an apology! I respect it being busy and the staff being a bit rusty after just another lockdown but I have never experienced such a hostile response when bringing my negative experience to the table. Hence this review."

"I love pubs! How many times do you hear that? I only properly discovered them 18 years ago because in France, although we have our cafes, they are nothing like pubs. I fairly quickly categorised them because when you think about it, they are all different. The best description for me for this one is a town pub full of character. I discovered it thanks to a friend and started going to hold a French Conservation group. I have only had drinks so far and believe me if you are after reasonable prices you have to go to the Gladstone. I have recently paid £2 in another place for a soda and lime. Here they charge you £0.30. And before you ask, no, it's not because it's served in a shot glass. When you enter the premises you will notice first the space. It has got room but you also can decide to sit in a smaller area. There is a fire place which is really nice especially at this time if the year. I went last Saturday to meet with a friend and we decided to have something to eat. If you want a night out but your are on restricted budget this is the place where to go. Ok the menu doesn't give you a massive choice as some do but in fact think about it, it won't take you too long to make your decision. The choice is good and the prices quite low. If you are vegetarian they certainly have thought about you. I am not but to be fair I've always wondered why the choices seem to be so restricted for those who are when eating out? I ended with the chilly beef and cheese. I like the fact you can choose to have it with rice or bread. The serving is good and I really enjoyed it. It was very tasty. The staffs work hard, are very pleasant and easy to interact with which is exactly what you want in a pub. It's a place with great atmosphere. And if you enjoy watching tv in a pub this is certainly the place where to go. It was a very reasonable and enjoyable night out. I'll be back!"

"I had a wonderfully 21st century dining experience in this restaurant this evening; from being asked on arrival if I wanted to see the Vegan menu to being seated and asked if I had any allergies or special dietary requirements... I was told that my waitress would be either Beth or Sarah ? I never did find out which it was but that didn 't affect the quality of the food or service! then I was given a sensible amount of time to choose my food before an efficient and attentive if unknown waitress took my order. I ordered a bottle of Peroni Gran Riserva which was extremely tasty and started with crab arancini a new menu item which was delicate and flavoursome, especially with the addition of a squeeze of lemon, and then had a Diavolo pizza topped with spicy beef, pepperoni, green pepper, Tobasco sauce and a choice of hot pepper I had roquito with a side of broccolini tenderstem broccoli roasted with garlic and chilli which was perfectly cooked with a nice al dente crunch. I mused to myself that the broccolini should have been called scorpion stems as it 's certainly had a sting in the tale from the chillies ! and the pizza also knocked me backwards with its warmth, but I got used to it and it was very yummy. I had been expecting sweet roquito pearls but the more firey roquito peppers were a new experience for me. The entire meal was delicious I cleared every plate and it was easy to summon service so that I could get my bill and promptly pay and leave. The staff and especially the chef who took his time to come and explain to me that there was a difference between roquito peppers and roquito pearls, and that they used pearls on the salads. Personally, I think next time if I order another diavolo pizza, I will ask them to hold the Tabasco and swap the peppers for pearls but I can 't fault them for something I didn 't ask for! Bravo!"
