"What a superb experience, and a beautiful location. Inconspicuous from the outside but once inside, a wonderful conservatory gives diners a view over the majestic courtyard which could be a world away from the hustle and bustle of the busy London streets. We were greeted, served and fully attended to amazingly, by all the staff and the food was exceptional, with a menu that has something to suit all. Beautiful decor, with plush leather dining chairs in Tiffany blue and white linen table cloths, gives a feeling that the bill is going to be much more expensive than it is. One of our party commented that this was the best Christmas dinner (apart from his wife's ; ) that he had ever had, and the turkey slice he was presented with was certainly huge by usual standards. As I said in the title of this review, if you haven't been already, you're missing out, and I can't believe it wasn't even busy. I'm loathed to leave this review as I really want to keep this little gem for myself but I need to give this wonderful restaurant and staff the credit that is due. If you want to impress but still keep an eye on the purse/ wallet, this place is definitely for you. "

"Saporitalia is set to be a hit with its large, unpretentious and authentic pizzas Booking a table at the last minute in London is challenging at the best of times. Trying to secure a spot for nine people on a Friday evening at a new and already well-reviewed restaurant on fashionable Portobello Road would seem to be a fool’s errand. You can imagine our surprise, then, that this turned out not to be the case at Saporitalia whose easy-going staff informed us that seating our group that evening would be no problem at all. Although we eventually arrived almost an hour late we were warmly welcomed and waved thorough to our table at the back. Almost as soon as we sat down small plates of...read more"

"The venue itself is beautiful. Really lovely pub as so many are in Bath. Unfortunately the reception we had from the girl on the bar downstairs was unfriendly, boarding on rude. Had to wait for our table which was 20 mins late, which I understand on a busy Sunday is often the case not easy to turn the tables. Roast dinners were okay, nice Yorkshire pudding which came regardless of what meat you ordered which is a nice touch. We ordered the extra potatoes at nearly £5 which was a little pricey. Out of 5 puddings, only 2 were available. Again they were fine but nothing more than that. For two people, both having two courses and a pint and a half of Pepsi each nearly £90 stung a bit."

"I had low expectations when I decided to book a last-minute Mother’s Day meal at Zizzi’s. With my dad recently passing away, I wanted to take my mum out for a change of scenery. Despite not having our reservation, we were seated at a dirty table. The seafood platter was disappointing, as it was oily and soggy. Our main courses were hit and miss, with my salmon being dry and tasteless. The service was slow and the staff seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. The restaurant itself was dirty and unkempt. Overall, I was hoping for a clean and friendly experience but left feeling disappointed and out of pocket. £105 for 3 people was not worth it."

"We were very disappointed in Zizzis. We normally go to Bella Italia but thought we would give Zizzis a try. We waited far too long for drinks, for food (which was average at best) and, even though we allowed plenty of time, we did not have time for dessert. The problem appeared to be very few staff. the waiter who served us made a big fuss about the fact that we would have to wait ages for a pizza or a pasta dish because we were gluten intolerant. No other restaurant we have visited has made us feel that it is so much bother to cook gluten free. As I said, food was average at best and £37 for a plate of risotto, a skewer full of vegs and a couple of chunks of chicken and two glasses of wine !!"

"I can here on a busy Saturday, however I had a reservation and I was very disappointed. Firstly the service was terrible, we had booked a table through open table and we still had to wait over half an hour for our table to be ready. When we were finally seated the terrible service continued. As soon as we were sat down and got our menus they asked us our order, some of us even had our jackets on. I felt quite rushed. We ordered our food quickly and waited over 45 minutes till dishes started to arrive. Many of the dishes were missing. One of the members of our party ordered a pornstar martini which came half empty and the shot of prosecco was almost non existent. We then complained to the manager who said ‘don’t worry about it we will get you a new one and you can keep that one as an apology’. However the new pornstar martini did not turn up till we had almost finished our mains. The mains were luke warm and they forgot so many parts of our dishes, for example forgetting the wraps for the fajitas, the dips with our starters and many more. As the evening came to a close I was glad to be leaving. We asked for our bill and when I checked it I found out that we had been charged twice for the pornstar martini and all the other extras we never got. We asked for this to be removed which the waitresses seemed hesistant so had to wait to speak to the manager. The manager was attentive and removed that charger however it wasn’t a good experience. I won’t be return any time soon."

"100% the best Mexican food in Southampton. Every filling option is loaded with flavour and the salsa is properly made. The staff are also amazing, so friendly and welcoming; they even go so far as to ring you if something you've ordered via Deliveroo has run out in my case, their cheese dip (which is seriously one of the best dips I've ever had) and they offered to send me a brownie instead. Have I not mentioned their brownies?? The salted caramel filled one will literally blow your mind. Amazing food, amazing flavours, amazing staff, amazing service you won't be disappointed if you eat here."

"We had wanted to try Crepes Cones but it was closed. Insteat, we saw the eye-catching colors of Afters and decided to give it a try, thinking it would be similar to other dessert places we enjoy. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I ordered the Ferrero Rocher waffle and received a stale waffle with chocolate sauce and mixed nuts that seemed like they were leftovers from a bargain bag at the grocery store. The Ferrero Rocher was nowhere to be found. My husband's Very Berry ice cream was overly sweet with a red sauce that was too much for our teeth, although the fresh berries were a highlight. We left £17 poorer and very unsatisfied, with the staff simply telling us that's what we ordered. Save your money and stick to a Solero or Calippo instead."

"a night for a birthday party. room was beautiful and the staff was excellent, but eating was disappointing. In the evening was eaten by over boiled and dry eating (beans hatch with chopped eggs, which burned on the floor and let the eggs rock hard.) the meal was returned and we were calculated 50% for the dish. the boiled breakfast was also disappointing, as a fried egg was solid again and nothing but edgy. Maybe we were pampered by so many good restaurants along the coast of norfolk, but eggs are not hard! would be definitiw to stay on site, but would eat elsewhere."

"Teething problems the nght we went. New heaters and tarpaulin shelter has extended the possibilities of outdoor space, during second spike of Coid, meant the place was full, with everybody ordering food which caused a traffic jam in the kitchen and very slow food service. However, the waitresses/waiters were great and kept us informed. They were run off their feet. I would definitely go back again and hope they have got into their stride. I feel guilty giving low stars because I know it was not a typical night."

"I visited this restaurant with some friends on New Year's Eve. We had made a reservation and were seated promptly, despite the busy atmosphere. However, we waited over 20 minutes for someone to take our order. I had to approach a waitress to finally be attended to. We placed our food and drink orders all at once, but waited an additional 30 minutes for our drinks. After seeing another table who arrived after us receive their drinks before us, a friend complained and our drinks arrived shortly after. By this point, we had waited over 50 minutes just for a drink since being seated. The food arrived around 20 minutes later and was delicious, so no complaints there. I understand that the staff were overwhelmed that night, but it was still poor customer service. It seemed like they were more concerned with seating as many people as possible rather than attending to those already in the restaurant. In conclusion, I do not recommend visiting this restaurant on a busy night as the service may be disappointing."

"I booked as a birthday treat for my husband. It was our first visit and I couldn't be more pleased. Great food, wine and service. We had a window seat which was great for us too as we love to people watch. Will be visiting again very soon. Was well worth the journey as we are not local."

"good quality. casual and smooth atmosphere. the place is dedicated to the art of making pizza and panini. I had there the pizza “Il contadino”, which was very nice and pleasant. it could be a good choice also for vegetarians because this pizza has only tomaten, mozzarella cheese and many other vegetables on it. the personal is welcoming and prompt. I would go there for pizza instead of meeresfruit and panini, because it looks like it's their specificity. the prices are good and they should expect to spend 45 for two people. I would suggest going with a group of friends and enjoying their time. the place is quite small, so it is better to make a reservation before going."

"Pre-marathon carb-loading meal so I needed it to be early (6.30 table) and not messed around by an incompetent waiter who lied about the reason for a 40+mins delay to serving our main courses. Food was functional at best. Disappointing evening, not worth the money. At least the poor service saved us the expense of dessert, more drinks and a tip. Freezing cold in there too. Much better when it was Auberge, not this soulless dump."
