"The experience is globally very qualitative. I am very pleased with the stay at Bistrot. All inexplicable. Perhaps lacks a little heat the service, which turns out attentive and discreet but a little detached and impersonal. I would like to find a warmer and relaxed style of welcome, a kind of Mandarin Touch that makes the difference and makes guests feel not in a trendy place but in a place of the heart."

"Out and about on a lunchtime constitutional along Portobello Road last week something interesting caught my eye. Set back from the road, hiding behind vintage clothes in the arcade, was an alluringly attractive Italian restaurant. On my own, without reading material and in a hurry to get back to work, I had no intention of sitting down to eat but I was compelled to go in and investigate. I glanced at the menu and clientele, was charmed by the decor of hanging dried meat and flowers, and decided I would return imminently.<br/ <br/ Thankfully an opportunity arose this week. I had taken it upon myself to arrange a lunch for myself and nine colleagues, and presented them with an option of four restaurants (secretly hoping that democracy would work in my favour). At first, take-up was slow as the more adventurous-sounding alternatives were far more popular, but risk aversion gradually set in and the simple Italian became the winner; a culinary hare and tortoise situation, if you will.<br/ <br/ “What if they don’t cater for big groups? What if it’s awful and I’m forever ridiculed for my restaurant choice?” Such questions were running through my mind, distracting me from my morning tasks.<br/ <br/ An amiable Italian gentleman saw the first sub-group and exclaimed “group of ten, this way please!” so we followed orders and went inside to our long table, immediately looking above us at the conservatory style ceiling and feeling as though we had walked into a Tuscan summer.<br/ <br/ Our charismatic waitress brought over an alternative to a complementary bread basket; a plate of amuse-bouche sized pieces of courgette frittata served on a forest of rocket. I was very impressed by this. They have foreseen that I’m going to be ravenous, having not eaten since my 11:00 AM apple; that I may not wish to bloat up on bread; that I enjoy being surprised, which I most certainly was. I had only been there ten short minutes and these people already knew how to please me more than some people who have known me for decades. If that isn’t customer service, I really don’t know what is. <br/ <br/ The menu is slightly unusual in that there isn’t the usual long list of pizzas and pastas to choose from, instead there were a couple of al forno dishes (baked in the oven), several paninis (with pizza bread), and a list of specials, a few of which were mains. I took from this that a decision had been made to offer a limited number of dishes, but to do them well.<br/ <br/ I had top-notch, considerably portioned gnocchi with bolognese sauce for £11.50, served whilst the tomato sauce was still bubbling from the oven, with fresh basil scattered on top.<br/ <br/ To make the experience even more superior, they should consider investing in a second credit card machine to take two payments simultaneously since this was a bit slow.<br/ <br/ I was really fond of this restaurant and highly recommend it. Now I just need to think up another reason to go back next week.."

"Two friends and myself visited Fratelli's last week It was absolutely lovely. We were all pleased with our meals. Spaghetti Carbonara is a particular favourite of mine, and it didn't disappoint! In fact I would say it was one of the best I've ever had. The food was served in good time, was all really tasty, and the restaurant was lovely. I'm happy to give the full five stars, and look forward to a return visit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"Top class Indian food experience enjoyed last Saturday at the Yasmin restaurant in East Horsley, Surrey, UK. Very tasty blend of spices throughout the dishes we had. Perfectly balanced tarka dhal. Good range of different vegetables in the vegetable pathia, Tender, well cooked lamb in the lamb rezala which was also delicately balanced in terms chili strength. Would highly recommend a visit to this exceptionally good restaurant, serving authentic Indian food."

"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)."

"The experience of this restaurant is remarkable. My house was just a corner away from Amisha and I used to eat every week-end there. My favorite part of Amisha is the feeling that you go to Italy and the food has that true taste of Italy, no wonder it was awarded as one of the best places in London. But the best part of Amisha is the staff, they all were kind and helpful. I would like to thank the owners Lola and Francesco, who gave me a good treat in all my meals at Amisha, I hope that their business expands someday. All meals are excellent but if you ask for an opinion, I would choose lasagna and burrata salad. Excellent price/quality ratio and it is just 10 min away from Tower Bridge. If I return to London, I will definitely eat in Amisha and also buy some groceries. Next to the restaurant, there is a shop of Italian food. It seels authentic Italian pasta, sweets, coffee, and others, if you want to buy Italian products go there as well. To all my friends of Amisha, GRAZIE MILE for this wonderful experience, I will have y'all in my heart,"

"Great food and a warm welcome from Mark and his team awaits. Been several times, be it as a family, for ‘date nights’ with the good lady, or with a large group of colleagues for a night out. If you are nearby, take the chance. You won’t be disappointed! Top tip, thumb your nose at the diet for an evening and order the Stracetti as a side. Maybe get an Espresso Martini to reward yourself too."

"Booked a table for 5, got there for 4:45. Sat down early. Ordered food at 10 last 5. Food didn’t come out till 5 to 6. A couple came in after us and received a starter each and a main meal each before we even received our main meal (no starters ordered) no one even came up to our table to apologise on the waiting time for the food. My 3 year old started getting very agitated. My meal came and had no chicken strips in the pasta which I asked for, too much chilli was put into the meatball pasta dish, had to ask twice for the bill. Service was shocking Didn’t receive the complete order with missing ingredients I just think there was no senior member of staff in so that then caused these issues."

"As an inveterate food blogger I go out a lot. It’s easy to feel blasé about some invitations, another pizza place, a hotel restaurant focussing on seasonality and locality… but when you get the call to an event at Theo Randall’s refurbished eponymous restaurant in the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane you sit up and take notice. Quite simply he is the best chef serving Italian food in London today and a decent chap to boot. He was known for running the kitchen at The legendary River Café and then ten years ago took the opportunity to open his own space within the Intercontinental Hotel. Theo told me he felt that the previous look had been a bit too corporate (although I loved...read more"

"the villa toscana serves brilliant pasta, which should be given for an Italian restaurant, but they also serve the most amazing seafood. this, combined with good service and a beautiful interieur means that I would definitely go back and if it is on the menu either the atlantic prawns or ravioli in sage butter are worth a try."

"I had a pleasant lunch while visiting Harrogate. The dishes were well presented and the portion sizes were just right. The milkshake was to die for! The restroom was clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly with fairly quick service. There were a few tables outside, and they have more seating available when it's busy. I will definitely be returning!"

"for the first time to try the new vegan chicken burger. I brought it as a food business that only includes a regular soda cooling drink. I had to pay extra for the pommes. the whole meal costs over £6. the vegan burger...was nothing special, there was no sesame seeds on my bungalow as advertised and the vegan mayo was the best part of it. fries needs salt addition. not so big for a big part. from the kiosk ordered and only about 4 people in the shop, so I was quickly served by two young ladies. it is located near the lower gardens. they prefer to go to mcdonalds, cheaper and tastier for vegetarians."

"There are lots of places near us that serve pizza but they don't serve it up as tasty as this. The service is simply first.class from the whole team. Frascati Pizzeria has only been around for a few months and it was on the list of places to visit that my wife has so we decided as we were walking past to pop in. I've given Frascati Pizzeria 5 stars because I really did love it. The staff (owners) are very polite and attentive which is sincere and genuine. The restaurant itself has a very rustic feel to it. Although small (only about 8 tables if I remember) you aren't crammed in and have an intimate feeling. The owners are planning to expand the restaurant to fit more in and I doubt that they will find it difficult to get bums on seats. The menu is small. I like that as there is nothing worse than looking at a menu with too much to choose from. What they do offer though is a good choice of pizza, pasta and chicken with desert and sides plus a selection of beverages to accompany your meal. Just as you enter the restaurant you'll see where your pizza is cooked fresh and on-site. I love pizza that is cooked this way and that will go some way to how they taste so good. There is also seating area where you can sit whilst waiting for a your table and have a drink. I'd also like to say thank you for the free desert they offered my wife to mark her birthday. A very generous offer that was gratefully received. We've been back and had 4 pick ups from them now and each time the Pizza has tasted simply beautiful. We are aiming to get back to sit in very very soon."
"We had a pleasant dining experience with excellent service at this restaurant. They offer gluten-free options for both pizza and pasta upon request. I tried the gluten-free pizza and was very impressed with it. The lunch menu starts from £9.00, with a special deal for a lunch pizza at £8. A meal for 3 costs £15.95. Takeaway service is also available. We would definitely recommend this place."
