Fettuccine served in a creamy Alfredo sauce with rich Parmesan and a hint of garlic, topped with fresh herbs.

"the windows still say blue garden, but alohabrqzilian opened it doors for us with a big smile. the chicken, cheese and beef snacks are amazingly crispy and light yet filled with taste. in any case, they ask for the diving sauce! the tuna sandwich is really one of the most beautiful things I had in my time in london. beautiful view on metalgar square, beautiful atmosphere, fun music, and super tasty eating!"

"Authentic German food and beer, with special emphasis on potatoes. All very tasty. Only small problem was finding the restaurant because the name on the door was Alt-Berliner Wirsthaus, not Kartoffelhaus. You really had to look at the fine print on the menu to see the Kartoffelhaus name"

"Following a long journey to Stoke by Nayland, we found this quaint pub in the village and decided to go for lunch here. This country pub features everything you could want with a log fire near the entrance, a nice bar with plenty of variety and it has its own wine “cellar” type room! My partner and I decided to grab a bite to eat, ordering the flat ironed steak, accompanied with steak cut chips, garlic mushrooms and a garlic sauce, and I ordered the steak and mushroom pie, accompanied with freshly steamed veg and a dollop of mash. Both plates arrived promptly and the food on both plates was superb, tasted fresh and locally sourced. The added bonus was the chef singing I’m a believer in the background, not the best version I’ve heard but none the less a valiant attempt and great to hear the staff in good spirits during the current situation. Overall my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and the atmosphere in the pub, we’d definitely recommend and we may pop in before we leave!"

"I have eaten here a few years ago , and had been very good . However this July I was taken here as a birthday treat . No idea what's happened , but it was not a good meal . We had the taster meal at £35 a head . The first dish looked like cat food and had no taste at all , the second a pasta dish that was hard and again no taste , then we beef (tough , with a very sharp jus not edible , the pudding , a custard type tart ,,, well the pasty was so hard and the custard was so runny . The service was ok , polite , but slightly forgetful . The wine was very good . I could have cooked a far better meal . It was extremely poor . We were a table of 6 and all of us said later we would not return . Sad as its been good in the past . I travel To Italy often , and eat proper Italian food fantastic taste and half the price of this restaurant ."

"Food was a mix of underwhelming just okay. We ordered the calamari (don’t recommend- flavourless didn’t taste fresh), mushroom arancini (these were good), and the vegetariana pizza( not bad but forgettable), broccolini side (good- probably the highlight) While the food was okay, service was pretty bad. They managed to mess up our order, which meant that our pizza and broccoli was either given to another table or cancelled and came out VERY delayed (they denied it and one of the severs was sassy about it)….. Don’t recommend this place"

"This is the most fabulous place. We loved it. We are a group of friends staying for a weekend at Mawgan Porth.. and after a lovely walk along the coast path on Sunday afternoon popped in, hoping we could just get a drink but thought that might not be welcome being a Sunday lunchtime and not wanting to eat. Well.... we needn't have worried. They could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Gave us a massive table all together (with the dog... and gave her biscuits)... and of course... one drink became several.... and we then decided we would have some small plates of food too. The food was fabulous... the service and friendliness exceptional. Highly recommend and thank you Gareth and the team for a great time. Vegetarian options: I had the mushroom soup. It was delicious Dietary restrictions: One of our friends is gluten free... everything was checked and catered for Service: Dine in Meal type: Other Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"we were in don beni manly in winkfield and thought we would try eton. only I and my wife sat in the window, beautiful sitting. no starter, I ordered the sirloin steak, my wife pasta. my wife loved her pasta absolutely. I cut into my...Steak (as medium crossed) and was well done. I have the waiter over, I said, "I don't want to complain, but I'm sorry I asked about this medium," which shows him the steak. he replied, “Do you want me to cook it a little more?” at this point I knew I was in trouble. I said, "No thanks, you can show the cook and ask him what he thinks." at the place he goes away with the teller and shows the chef, a minute later returns and says: "the chef says that there should be no blood on a middle steak and that is how it should be". I'll let them be judges of these pictures, what a middle steak should be. it was gum, I ate it was hungry not want to argue and cause a fuss. I know I should probably."

"Maybe 3 years since we’ve been still meh. Lobster ravioli well cooked, well seasoned m, sauce a bit thin. Mushroom fettuccine very good. Starters mixed. Meatballs, humus decent, mackerel and pickled veg didn’t work, nothing to balance the tart flavours of the veg. Deserts a step down or two from a Gu pudding in the supermarket. Sticky toffee pudding and the plums were fine but made without any love, care or attention. What will stop us returning any time soon was the service. Trying to catch someone’s eye like a teenager at a disco to get any attention isn’t fun at the best of times. When you pay £320 for 6 which includes three children and an octogenarian who had one glass of wine, it’s frustrating at best but rude and showed a lack of training. It’s just . . . Meh. But not cheap meh"

"Have eaten here numerous times, thought it deserved a review. Great local family run Italian restaurant just opposite Magdalene College. Friendly staff and consistently good food at reasonable prices, with a decent range of pizzas, pasta and meat/fish dishes. My favourite dishes Pizza Arrabbiata, Maiale (pork fillet) with Marsala, and Pollo Milanese with spaghetti Napoli. The sea bass is also good, though it’s a big portion! Excellent range of ice cream and a few other desserts the Tiramisu and Limoncello Crème Brûlée are both yummy, the chocolate cake is delicious but huge. It’s often very busy, booking may be advisable, especially in the evenings. I don’t give many 5 star reviews, but this place is all I want in a local Italian restaurant."

"The restaurant had a cozy and relaxing ambiance, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I ordered a seafood risotto that was filled with mussels, king prawns, squid, and sea bass, all mixed with creamy and flavorful rice. Although the prices were on the higher side, it was definitely worth it for a special occasion. Overall, it was a great dining experience for dinner."

"The special of the day was a lamb tagliatelle and it was fantastic. They should include this in the main menu so it can be easily ordered by many! Loved the ambience of the restaurant as it was rustic and homey at the same time with nice soft lighting, which made the whole experience so cozy. Choice of music too was on point. We were also served by very hospitable staff and will definitely come back for more."

"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and made to order. The service is friendly and very accommodating, especially when it comes to special dishes not listed on the menu. I have visited multiple times and highly recommend it. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, not overly fancy. I particularly enjoyed the lamb in red wine sauce, which was tender and flavorful. While I cannot comment on the fish dishes due to my allergy, I can confidently say that all the food is worth trying. Visit this restaurant and give it a shot - you won't be let down."

"I can find working in the city a bit souless at times, especially when it comes to restaurants. There are a couple of great ones (for example City Social, Duck and Waffle and Goodmans) but they are definitely on the treat yo’self list, unless work is paying! I personally think there is a lack of interesting places to venture to for lunch. That’s why I’m happy I have L’Anima Cafe just within reach of my office. Being based at Bank it’s a good 15 minute walk, but oh so worth it. L’Anima Cafe is the sister to the award winning L’Anima just around the corner. This is a more informal setting with all day dining and great for after-work drinks. There’s also a deli for food-to-go. I’ve eaten here only twice but I hope I make many more visits. On my first visit I had a terrific lamb ragu: a rich, deep and salty ragu over parpadelle. I have thought about it many times since! This time we shared a couple of starters: an artichoke, asparagus and anchovy salad with pecorino shavings and a simple tomato, basil and garlic bruschetta. The salad was light and fresh with the moorish saltiness from the anchovy, a really wonderful dish. The tomatoes were seasoned perfectly on the bruschetta, however a couple of pieces came out a bit burnt as you can see, so we ended up eating the tomatoes but leaving the bread on those pieces. There was a veal ragu on the menu this time which I did contemplate ordering but thought I should change it up a little. There were some great fish dishes but in the end I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole: clams with garlic, chilli, parsley and white wine. This is one of my favourite pasta dishes and it did not disappoint! The al dente spaghetti with the soft salty clams and a slight kick from the chilli was wonderful. The parsley in there keeping it nice and fresh. Oh, I wish I was eating a plate of it now! Another pasta dish was also ordered, the fettuccine primavera. This entailed saffron, broad beans, peas asparagus and courgette flower. I had a taste of this too and it tasted garden-fresh, if that makes sense, really clean and light. A lovely dish. My other colleague wanted to order something different to us; the daily special of sole was decided upon. It was humungous! It came served with slices of crisp potatoes and cherry tomatoes. Oh my god, the flavour in the fish was incredible and so juicy too. We struggled to finish it all. All in all a great meal. Just two small points, the staff can be a little slow and also, last time we ordered the broccoli pizza and it was pretty bland. So I would avoid their pizzas. But everything I’ve ever ordered has been very good and rather beautiful too. It is very much full of suits mid-week but I imagine there is a different vibe in the evening and at weekends as it pretty much on the boarder between the city and Shoreditch (it’s right by the Queen of Hoxton). One day soon I hope to try L’Anima next door. But in the mean time this is the place to go for great Italian food!"

"We popped in without a booking on a Sunday night after a long drive and were met with such fantastic service. Our waiter Blair was soo friendly, made some great recommendations and made us laugh a lot! The frito misto was a great starter, huge fresh bits of fresh and a delicious garlic and parsley sauce. We also ordered the asparagus with pancetta which was so nicely done with another great sauce. The fresh pasta dishes were phenomenal! Between our table we ordered the slow cooked beef and tuscan sausage ragu which had so much tender meat and a delicious rich sauce, the rigatoni sinatra (crumbled italian sausages with loads of roasted peppers and chilli in a tomato sauce) and the fettuccine pollo piccante which was my favourite. This was spicy chicken in a creamy parmesan sauce with a right kick of chilli! For a complete accidental find we had such a great meal and would definitely come back if we were travelling down to Glasgow from the Highlands again!"

"OK so this is a review of a takeaway as my partner had a first grand daughter 5 days ago so mum, dad and babe not able to eat out yet. I left a message to say I wanted to place an order and was called back. The order was placed and ready for collection less that half an hour later and, if you use the Chester Street carpark, there is a back entrance and everything was ready and waiting. My lady went for the Fettucine al Funghi creamy garlic mushrooms to you and I. She was blown away by the flavours and I had a taste of what was left and can agree it was SO mushroom flavoured. I opted for the Penne Arrabbiata con Pollo with a side order of Meatballs. Starting with the latter they are probably the nicest meatballs I have tasted in my much travelled 68 years. The Arrabbiata was pretty amazing too with lots of flavour and plenty of meat speaking purely personally I would have liked a little more sauce but it's a personal thing and the flavours were spot on. The youngsters opted for pizzas which I'm told were excellent but they were attending to their new princess to focus too much on the food. I lok forward to visiting the place again and sampling their full menu as the limited takeaway one if pretty good"

"We hadn't visited this restaurant in a couple of years and had good memories of it being a special place (we had brought guests here as it was at the top of our list of local restaurants), but our recent experience this week was disappointing. The staff member who greeted us at the door seemed disinterested in being at work, showing no signs of friendliness or engaging in any conversation throughout the evening, including when we paid the bill. First impressions are important. Unfortunately, the food was also lacking. Although the menu descriptions were intriguing with a variety of options, none of our appetizers or main dishes stood out - where were the promised flavors? Bruschetta without garlic or basil? Overall, the food was just "okay" but not worth the price. It seemed like cheap ingredients were used and corners were cut to save money. The restaurant still has a nice ambiance and I'm sure it's lively on weekends, but this historic place deserves better. We will be exploring other dining options in the future. It's a shame, as this restaurant has the potential to be truly special."

"I had a fantastic meal last night at Kia’s after finally visiting, even though I’ve lived just a minute away for the past four years! The menu offers so many choices that it took me quite a while to decide. I ended up choosing the Pesto Al Verde, which is fettuccine pasta with pesto, garlic, white wine, and cream, topped with pine nuts, arugula, and fresh Parmesan. It was the creamiest pasta I’ve ever tasted—absolutely divine! The portion size was generous, too. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always eager to help. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes from the menu. Thank you for a lovely evening, Kia’s! Vegetarian options: There are plenty of choices for vegetarians! Even though I'm not vegetarian, I opted for a veggie dish because it sounded so delicious, and it truly was!"

"We’re definitely heading back tomorrow! My friend and I were craving Italian food and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. Our cravings were more than satisfied. We started with a sensational garlic pizza bread, which was simply fantastic. For the main course, my friend had a delicious creamy salmon dish, while I indulged in a mouthwatering pasta with Italian sausage and salami. To top it off, we enjoyed one of the best desserts I've ever had—the screamberry cheesecake. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and superb, enhanced by the exceptionally friendly and efficient service. We still have a few days left in the Lake District, and we've already booked a table for another visit!"

"We went for a family meal, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered several starters which all came and were very nice. The mains arrived(ish) they dropped one of the meals so that came later these things happen. The special Swordfish ..was as dry as a bone, this was returned and the chef re.cooked the dish and sent a new meal out which was cooked to perfection and lovely, which begs the question Why was the original dish even served The Calzone was not very pleasant it was over powered with ricotta cheese to the degree that the other fillings were unnoticeable, however we didn't complain as they were obviously having a difficult evening! This was one of our many visits to this restaurant, had this been the first time it would have been the last."
