"This pizza is authentic and incredibly well-made. The menu offers a great variety and the staff are wonderful. It was actually recommended to me by an Italian friend who has tried many pizzerias in and around London. This is his favorite, so that really says something! It's probably the best pizza this side of Naples. Give it a try and see if you disagree with me."

"Wow, what a little gem of a place! Visiting Cheltenham for the first time, after exploring the town, feeling a bit peckish, sort of stumbled into Vegetus. Not exactly on the high street, but a few minutes walk off the main drag. Cosy, and welcoming, quite busy on Saturday lunchtime, we hadn't pre booked, so we sat outside in the sunshine for a few minutes while our table was prepared. The vibe is decidedly middle eastern, with the jolliest of hosts. His infectious good humour permeates the place. Spotlessly clean and well organised, we ordered a tagine and a mousaka, with the Beirut cooler for a non alcoholic drink. Both generous servings were delivered after a few minutes, piping hot and delicious. For dessert we had warm baklava with ice cream and a totally yummy (egg free) chocolate cake. The desert was so good, we split it, boxed it and took a slice home for our daughter! I cannot recommend this place enough, we now have a good reason to go back to Cheltenham. Try it, you will love it."

"I came here on a midweek evening with a friend. It wasn 't particularly busy 3 tables max were occupied. Food I had the special a meat and pasta dish which was unfortunately swimming in its own grease, but it was passable. A late middle aged man was serving, who was helpful and friendly, but was obviously rushed off his feet he may even have been doing the cooking and serving at the same time. A late middle aged woman, who turned out to be the owner, was sat outside with her dog and a friend. Towards the end of our meal, she moved inside. She later turned her hand to waitressing, but this was evidently not her forte. When we 'd finished, our polite request to split the bill seemed to create a massive drama for her, I 'VE PUT IT [THE SUM] INTO THE [CARD] MACHINE NOW , she snapped. After her meltdown, she handed the job to her (presumably) employee, to whom she spoke like he was a dog. I really felt for him. She proceeded to slag us off to her friend, even though we were sat only about 3 metres away from them, in the same (quiet) room. Either she is a bitter individual, or was just having a bad day and took it out on us. Regardless, she had a mare and I would not recommend the place. No problem with the no doubt long suffering guy though."

"I have been here before and really enjoy it. The food is outstanding. My husband had potato skins for starter and I had the black pudding. He had Alfredo pasta for main and I had the Cajun chicken. It was outstanding as it was before. The service was quick and the food nice and hot. The only reason I did not give a 5 is because I actually fainted in the restaurant as I was really hot. Not one member of staff came to help my husband. It was another customer who helped him pick me up and got me a chair. The only member of staff next to us was standing waiting for payment. I’m sorry but if a customer has an accident I would have thought they would be your first priority. I was not drunk, i had one alcoholic drink and a Diet Coke. Once outside I was fine as I cooled down and we went elsewhere. The whole of my right side is covered in bruises from the step. Come on Fabios get your priorities right."

"Of all the places to book we chose here, 18 mins in and we had to ask for a drink, it wasn’t busy, drinks then stater arrived it was very nice. Had to ask twice where our mains were , told first time they were making it , second time almost ready , eventually it wasn’t served and we had to leave. We had clearly been forgotten as the table next to us had both courses before us and they came after us . It wasn’t busy and plenty of staff."

"Lovely staff, we were well looked after. Amazing food, Tigelle were amazing, the meat platter as well which included a superb Parma Ham, felino salami and mortadella. We were really impressed of the atmosphere, we asked for a specific table and they provided us one. I really recommend and I look forward to coming again."

"Absolutely amazing from start to finish. My girlfriend booked for my birthday. We‘re both vegan and everything we had was delicious- esp the lasagne! They even have vegan Parmesan!! Not only this but the wines were labelled vg too. We went midweek and although we were running late and had to push the table back, we never felt rushed. Really enjoyable experience and relaxed atmosphere. To top it all off, they brought out a sorbet at the end of our meal and had wrote happy birthday in a fruity sauce. Highly recommend this restaurant Thank you so much."

"Came here as I'd heard the food was good and they have a good offer. Yes the main course was a good price, but when you factor in starters, garlic breads, desserts and wine it all evens out and your bill is still what it is. The interior is a little looking but it's the food that counts. My risotto was really good I'd come back just to have this again!! Our desserts were chocolate fudge cake served with very poor quality custard (I couldn't eat it, plus it was so gloopy it was stuck in the jug) and cheap ice cream. The cake was standard costco type cake, so they couldve given us a bigger slice considering it was £6 or so. We asked for the cake to be warm but was one was cold the other very very slightly warmed like it had only had 10 seconds in the microwave. Service is reasonably friendly very casual e.g. waiter in jeans, waitress in leggings and trainers."

"The food at this restaurant is delicious, but the prices for takeout are excessively high. The pricing is not transparent, as I recently paid £13 for just two small portions of lasagna."

"I had the vegan chorizo pizza and it tasted amazing. very cheesy and the vegan chorizo was delicious, as the salat on the pizza. I had the vegan crumbs to follow and it also tasted nice. Before I became vegan, I was vegetarian for years and often went to casa italia, getting the garlic bread and vegetarian lasagne and each time was impressed by the high quality of the feed and generously updated to the previous.22"

"Went to Cuore for breakfast. Food is simple but nice and well executed. Prices are reasonable too I was surprised by the quality of the croissant. I prefer the french version which is more buttery but for UK standard this one is good Salmon/Bacon breakfasts took some time to arrive but it was worth it. Not a big fan of bacon usually but this one was well crispy I think if this place was bit more welcoming then it would be a 5*. We sat for some time without anyone saying hello. The restaurant was not packed so saying hello when a customer arrives is free and makes people feels welcomed The waitress was actually nice when we asked her some question"

"I would like to clarify straight off the bat that the five star review is for the chip shop portion of the shop only. There’s a lot of chat online about how this place does the best pizzas in Edinburgh. Well that’s up for debate. Granted, the pizzas are better than your standard chip shop pizza but I would be hesitant to claim these are the best pizzas in Edinburgh. I would have no problem however, claiming that this is one of the best places for fish and chips in Edinburgh. I would serve these chips at my wedding. Exactly what you’re looking for when you’re looking for a typical chippy and none of this posh chips hipster nonsense. Their battered sausage is nothing short of perfection. I’m vegetarian but I had to make an exception for the battered sausag- ok I’m not really but you get the point. The battered haddock is also superb. One of my top 3 chippies in Edinburgh."

"I am to complain how poor the service we received when visited the coffee shop yesterday on 16/10/2022 at 3 something served by a blonde hair woman! Her customer service was out of the world BAD. We thought we owed her a million pounds for a sec. She was really unfriendly, super impatient and ignorant the whole time since we started placing order. Never looked at us once. We were greatly disappointed at the bad service and was certainly a bad first experience. I normally do not want to cause other’s issues but this time I couldn’t take it, her attitude was so bad that I don’t think anyone should tolerate that. It also ruined our day by seeing her face with that attitude. Quit the job if not happy, who does she think she is to treat people like that"

"My colleague booked a table of 11 for a leaving meal. The first red flag should have been that they threatened a £25/head charge for any member of our party that couldn’t make it, but we missed that one. We arrived to find there isn’t really room for a table of 11 in the restaurant. The one set up ran back wall to front window, with barely any space to manoeuvre around it. The host (who I believe is also the owner, Jessica) made a nuisance of herself by getting in the way as we tried to figure out how we’d get people into the back of the table. We eventually managed once she left us alone. Those of us seated on that (back) side noted that the bench seat was very shallow and the pictures behind (at head height and lower) were at risk of being knocked off the wall if we made sudden movements. Not the comfiest. The table was set with £28/head fixed priced menus (see picture). When a member of the group questioned this and asked for the standard menu, we were told we should order from it as it’s too much hassle for the chef to prepare lots of different meals for different people. I must be mistaken in thinking that was the business of a restaurant. I feel it’s important to add that there were empty tables inside and out, so the place wasn’t exactly at capacity. The host insisted that they had informed my colleague when booking that we’d be eating from the set menu. This turned out to be untrue. Once this was cleared up, we were brought a new menu. The prices on this were different to the ones advertised on the website (higher, of course). Despite the menu having pizzas (just three, compared to the many on the online menu), we were told we could not order them. I personally felt like the host found it a hassle to serve us. Everything we asked seemed to trouble her. We weren’t offered an apology for any aspect of our experience, just excuses and a bit of an attitude. Once we’d ordered from the limited options made available to us, the experience did improve slightly. The lasagne was nice but overpriced at £18 a serving. Colleagues commented that they enjoyed their meals, but it wasn’t anything to write home about. The décor is nice. The young male waiter who served us was perfectly polite and helpful. The location is great. In summary, the problems seemed to centre around the host with poor customer liaison skills and a kitchen that is ill-equipped to serve multiple dishes at once. The restaurant’s claim that they are the ‘best Italian restaurant in London’ seems laughable to me. Perhaps we caught them on a bad day, but I won’t be returning to find out, and wouldn’t recommend to anyone else."

"My partner, son, and I come to this restaurant regularly and we always enjoy the great value for money food and tasty drinks. They serve high-quality coffee, not instant stuff, and the staff are fantastic. They always make us feel welcome and seem to know our order before we even say anything. They also give a lot of attention to my 2-year-old son, with high-fives, treats, and jokes that he loves. The portions are large and the prices are cheap. The food and drinks come quickly after ordering and everything is really good. We couldn't ask for anything more."

"We have never visited Benedictos in person but ordered a takeaway last night via JustEat. The food arrived really quickly but that was the only positive unfortunately. We ordered a mozzarella garlic bread and whilst the middle was nice, the edges were completely burnt and...inedible. We also ordered lasagna for the main dish and again, one of these portions was incredibly burnt. It was also swimming in a very salty tomato-based sauce. The onion rings and fries as sides were ok. We were really disappointed with our food not cheap either at £35. We wouldn’t recommend Benedictos and won’t be ordering for delivery or visiting the restaurant."

"We went to this restaurant for lunch to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. Our lovely waitress gave us a complimentary glass of fizz to start off the meal. We decided to share a platter for our starter, which was fantastic. For our main courses, my wife ordered the ragù and absolutely loved it, while I tried the special pizza which was one of the best pizzas I've ever had, even after visiting Sorrento the week before. My wife's dessert came with a candle and a chorus of "happy birthday", which was a special touch. We also enjoyed a very good espresso to finish off the meal. Overall, it was a brilliant birthday lunch. The Montepulchiano d'Abruzzo wine we had with our meal was also excellent."
