"After spending an hour in the restaurant, we finally received our starter, which we decided to share. We ordered haggis bonbons, but there were only three tiny balls, and they were gone in about three minutes because we'd been waiting so long. We then waited nearly another 30 minutes for our mains. When they finally arrived, the presentation was impressive; however, the steak was overly salty—so much so that I couldn’t continue eating it halfway through and had to give up. The onion rings were excellent, but the mac and cheese on the side was quite dry. We ordered another round of drinks when our main course arrived. I was having French martinis, but when my drink came, I was told they had run out of an ingredient and substituted it without asking for my approval. If I had known, I would have chosen something else. Since we opted for the market menu, we shared a portion of ice cream for dessert, which was delicious. In total, our bill came to £100, and I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon. The service was very slow, and while the food looked good, I would advise others to be cautious—the saltiness of the meat left me feeling like I had been drinking the sea."

"We enjoyed another lovely early evening at Gusto 's having booked in for 3:30pm. By the time we were leaving the place was getting full, so probably best to book in advance as it is a popular restaurant in an excellent location on Newcastle 's Quayside. The menu had recently changed to add more dishes, which looked and smelled lovely as they wafted past us. A big well done to the chefs. I had the starter of King Prawn and pickled fennel. A fabulous start to my meal. My mains was the Pan fried fillet of Sea Bass. Beautifully presented and very tasty. I finished of with the Sticky Toffee pud, which is my favourite of all puds. We even had a lady (not a staff member and from a different table to the birthday boy) with an operatic sounding voice, singing happy birthday in a foreign language to a gentleman sitting near us. He was celebrating his 20th birthday. Boy what a voice she had. A lovely moment for all present. As always the staff and the General Manager (Lauren) are very helpful and attentive. We will be back soon, of that there is no doubt. Well done Gusto, you are a fabulous team."

"I made a reservation for 7:15 PM on Saturday, but when we arrived, the staff, who were very courteous and apologetic, informed us that there was a party of 200 next door, and all of their kitchen staff were tied up with that event. They told us that it would take at least 40 minutes to get our food, regardless of what we ordered. When we inquired if it might take longer, she mentioned that the same situation occurred the night before, and she suspected it would take much longer this time as well. I can’t understand why they don’t have enough staff available to serve customers. This was a special occasion for us, as we had family visiting from High Wycombe. I had initially booked a table at the Peacock, but chose this place for what I thought would be a special experience. In the end, we returned to the Peacock Inn, which served us immediately and saved our evening. I felt really embarrassed by the whole situation."

"Meal Type: Dinner Price Range: £30–40 per person Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, receiving a perfect score of five. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive; the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the overall experience, creating a warm and inviting environment. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delightful dinner!"

"The starters that my husband and I had, were delicious and we were so excited to get our mains and that’s where it all went downhill. My husband steak (rib-eye) was just edible however, mine was inedible due to fat and the outside of the steak, being burnt (also a rib-eye). I did politely tell them and rightfully so, they didn’t charge me for my steak. They charged me for my sauce and side but hey ho. The bottle of Shiraz had LOTS of crystallised segments in it, to the point I couldn’t finish my last glass. Nothing was done about this when I also mentioned and showed the waitress. I was just told it was the amount of sugar that was in that particular bottle???? Was very disappointed."

"A visit with customers on business. Yet another evening, enjoying the hospitality of Felice and his team at Bella Roma. Fantastic food, service and ambience and a great night, spent having a good craic with some of our favourite customers. So good to be out with colleagues and enjoying a normal evening. They have a varied menu and every dish I have ever had here has been lovely. Here's to many more visits (must be in double figures by now)."

"environmental 5* customers return. this time differently ordered and again amazingly tasty woven! the chocolate milkshake has improved somewhat, as calibrating could be improved. my suggestion would be to offer a double-choc option for an extra £1 or something. we have enjoyed it so much that we have spoken with our mouthful to add the food! nice that we have found our new fav restaurant! Environment 3* first-time customers. positiw: fast delivery, tasty eating, easy to use app. negatiw: the order status does not change, so he had to call to confirm the order accepted, chocolate milkshake tastes more like vanillaeis-need more chocolate in him, Facebook image by bbq chicken burger shows 2 chicken pieces, but only get 1 in the burger. overall will order beautiful meal again, but could use some improvements as indicated above."

"I ordered a pizza for collection. Watching the app it was taking longer than usual. When it said it was ready I went into the store. They said it was still baking. I waited probably 10 minutes and no one had spoken to me. I checked again and instead of responding to me they just talked about it between themselves and left me waiting. After a while later I got my pizza with an apology finally (and some free cookies, their go to apology). From overhearing then I think they delivered mine to someone else and had to remake mine, though they never told me that. They treated me like I wasn’t there, terrible customer service. Got home...and it didn’t have a stuffed crust. Called up for a partial refund. This is not the first problem I’ve had here, they are not professional, someone needs to take a close look at this store."

"Been trying to get a booking here since our reservation in December was cancelled due to COVID and quite frankly we were utterly disappointed. Front of house werent very friendly. The ambience was nice very chic and lively however music volume was so loud so quite hard to hold a conversation. The waiter we had was outrageously rude. He put his hand up to me to slow down my ordering which I was going at at the pace of a snail anyway! It took 10minutes to order because apparently the system was slow and I had to repeat myself several times. We couldn't decide on garlic sauce or peppercorn and we were told abruptly and rudely which one is it guys . He also was speaking to the table behind us while taking our order and didn't apologise. He just overall had a slight attitude. Starter turned up before our drinks! Calamari batter was underseasoned but sauces and squid itself were nice. Steaks turned up and mine looked anaemic (no griddle lines looked almost poached) but somehow it was overcooked as I asked for medium rare but a medium steak turned up. My partner asked for medium well and his was pink! Again steaks were underseasoned. My chips were warmish but not piping hot. Steak knives were only brought over once the steaks were already present on the table. The loo had no loo roll I went in to 3 cubicles and absolutely nothing. Our reservation was for 2 hrs and we were out of there in an hour. Honestly I can't articulate how disappointed we were with the meal. The bill came to almost 200£ and I could get better service and delicious food at a high street restaurant for a 1/4 of the price. Clearly a place that focuses on ambience as opposed to quality of food. May give the Strand outlet one last chance but I will be sticking with Gaucho or Hawksmoor in the future."

"We went to the murder mystery evening. The food was trying to hard to be posh and pretentious aka small portions! Expensive for very little and not great quality either. The wild mushroom soup was nice but I couldn’t have told you what flavor it was supposed to be, rather than serving it with a bread roll it was served with lentils and a twist of carrot! The main a lot of us had was shin of beef cottage pie, you know when the best thing on the plate are the roasted carrots that something is wrong! There were 3 quinnels of crusted dried up potato with a slab of fatty gross shin of beef. When we complained that the meat was tough fatty and horrible the chef said well it is shin of beef! Either use a better cut or research how to actually cook it!! There was no sauce or gravy when we asked they brought us some lovely gravy what a waste though that they didn’t put it on the plate! My friend had the pork it was a lovely piece of pork but no potatoes just a shallot and a aubergine relish again only one teaspoon of sauce meaning the dish was dry. The pudding was the best course but one of my profiteroles was empty. There was no drink menus anywhere around although the lady at the bar was lovely. The murder mystery itself was good until the end and we could see them stood next to us deciding who the murderer was this should already be decided it shouldn’t be done at the end depending on which suspects only had one vote. Will not be coming again or recommend them."

"This is based on a one time honest experience: Place was inviting and service was good and quick, but then again it wasn't busy at all. Food was good and bad. Ill elaborate: The person i was with had a stone baked pizza and it was amazing, no questions there. I had pasta Carbonara and then pasta Bolognese to see if it was any better. The carbonara was not good at all, the sauce was so little i was tasting the dough from which the spaghetti was made. It made the spaghetti dry and bad tasting. The Bolognese was good as far as taste goes, but there was something very odd. The sauce was very fat, as a matter of fact, it was so fat, it was sticking to the plate and fork like fine coating. Ive only ever seen this when cooking lamb(i cook). Obviously its not from the beef itself, its fat that was added to the sauce/meat mixture itself. I thought it was perhaps butter(or fat milk), but the consistency of the sauce wasnt thick and velvety, so i doubt it. Was probably animal fat. Ofc i might be wrong. In any case, the 25g of fat per serving of pasta Bolognese is probably wrong. As for pricing, id happily pay the price for the pizza, it was awesome! But the pasta, for what it is, was too expensive. I can say about the rest of the mains, but avoid the pasta if you can and grab yourself a tasty pizza"

"The food was excellent, but the service was lacking. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our food, only receiving it after we asked about it. As we were still enjoying our coffee, we were abruptly told that our table was needed and asked to leave, even though we had only been there for an hour and a half. The slow service was not our fault, yet we felt rushed out. The manager was not sympathetic at all. We will not be returning, as we left feeling unwelcome. The vegetarian options were good, particularly the nut roast."

"Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly staff member at the entrance. Our waiter, Charlie, was extremely attentive throughout our enjoyable breakfast experience. The food was outstanding - I received three different flavors of jam with my toast, a generous portion of smoked salmon, and my taste buds were thoroughly satisfied. My friend ordered a bacon baguette and also raved about how delicious it was. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations given the reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"This restaurant lacks awareness of allergens. When I ordered my food, the server didn't understand and had to ask someone else for help. While I appreciate them double-checking, I was disappointed to receive the Gluten Free Ploughman's with a non-GF pork pie. The pork pie was eventually taken away, but crumbs were left on the tray. The food itself was mediocre at best. I don't plan on returning to this restaurant. Although there were some gluten-free options on the menu, I had previously emailed to confirm if they offered light bites and sandwiches for those with dietary restrictions."

"So so disappointed with dinner here last night. Dined here 13th July and a few months before that. Food was exceptional. Dined yesterday with my 3 sisters for a birthday celebration. I had my usual chicken goujons and they were only small crispy ends with almost no chicken. One sister had the roast Turkey and ham mostly stuffing with some vegetables which were practically unrecognisable. Another sister had haddock which was overcooked. The waiter mistakenly took the wrong order for the 4th sister and she was served salmon with roast potatoes which were obviously reheated she had asked for chips. Again, it was hard to decipher what the veg was. We were very very disappointed. Desserts were lovely. Service was good waiter kept telling us that he’d report all back to the chef. It was so bad, the waiter removed the price of our teas. So so disappointed."

"the service and eating were restless. I sat myself and a hospitable, but it took twenty minutes to take our order for everyone. it then arrived another twenty-five minutes before our drinks; it was just two beers, so no complicated order. our meals (no appetizers were ordered) arrived an hour and ten minutes after sitting. my order, a relatiw simple order of chicken milanese was not hot, in which did hardly warm, although my guests meal was delivered hot. the only positive is that the 'side' of focaccia brot was good. in the fact our 'alone tabletime' of ninety minutes would not have been enough to eat our one cure! I could not recommend in any wise carluccio 's in leeds trinity, it was shockingly bad; eating somewhere else would be my advice."
