"Food was ok and service ok, I couldn’t complain about anything but it was just ok. Restaurants have really got to up their game and make people want to return especially with the standard of living going up. The 20% discount for booking with Fork wasn’t taken off the bill either and I forgot to ask until I had paid and left which is very disappointing."

"Valentine’s Day meal was amazing as were the staff who kindly let us in despite some complications. My seafood pasta was absolutely delicious and packed with seafood. The calamari starter also took me right back to my travels on the Amalfi coast. Just a note of warning however, at peak times I would call to confirm a booking because when we arrived we were told they were receiving more open table bookings than available seats so bookings made on the night were actually invalid even though opentable was showing availability they however still seated us as the guy calling the shots was kind and appreciated that we had come all the way."

"Lovely food and atmosphere. Went here for lunch on the eat out to help out deal. I had the swordfish (waiter's recommendation) it was lovely. The veg and sauce tasted fresh and the fish cookery was very good. My girlfriend had the calzone and it was so massive that everyone else in the restaurant was commenting on how good and how big it looked. I tried a bit and it was excellent. Nice dough, plenty of filling and tasty tomato sauce. Service was quick. Portion sizes were large so go on an empty belly. Excellent value for money, will return and I will recommend to family and friends."

"This is a really great place. It isn't often that a restaurant can provide good food and service but Rustico pulls it off. The Food: The dishes are a bit pricey £20pp isn't uncommon) and the meatloaf is to die for. They don't serve a caccetori, which I found interesting. And they don't serve marinara with the calamari, which is always cooked to perfection not overdone and rubbery, which is easy to do). The wine selection is good too a little pricey for the quality, but they've chosen the wines and dishes) carefully and they are presented without being pretentious. To me this is the best part. Good food doesn't have to be snobby. It can be nice, yet casual. Tasty, and down to earth. The Service: No matter what you order, you're sure to get personalized service without a rush. I also like the environment, too, because it is cosy. I often bring dates here because it is easy to feel like it is just the two of you having a chat and being served by your very own staff. To me the tables feel as if they are in a small country home. It is that warm and cosy inside. Also, my conversation is never interrupted by wait staff at Rustico. This is a big deal to me as I'm often on dates at this place, trying to get to know a new friend. The service is really spectacular. Truly. Special notes: Make reservations on the weekends as it books up. Also, don't be afraid to show up last minute without reservations because though they do book up, there are often spots left open from no shows. But definitely make reservations if you can."

"aaahhh, La Pappardella....There's nothing I can say that can give their food justice...I've known La Pappardella for years, though I haven't been there for a while, until recently, where my husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary.So we went there full of hopes for a delicious, romatic evening. And such evening we've had.We were greeted by two of their staff and even though we have booked a table, they gave us a free choice to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant is small but they do have some sitting downstairsin and in the back garden in the summer.We've ordered a nice bottle of white wine. The choice on the menu is endless. Anything from pasta through risotto to pizzas and salads. We started off with grilled prawns and carpaccio. Now, I'm not a big fan of sea food, but I scoffed up almost all of my husband's starter. Carpaccio: tender and full of flavour.For main, my hubby chose risotto. That was the biggest plate i have seen while eating out. It was rich and creamy with fresh chicken and tender veg. I went for a lobster spaghetti. A bit extravagant, but it was a special occasion and I just wanted to compare London's lobster to the one we had in St Kitts. Well, I was not dissapointed. A huge plate of pasta (though it was slightly over-cooked and i like mine a bit tenter) in a rich, fresh tomato and a hint of a chilli sauce and there, on top, lay the lobster in its full glory: cut in quarters. It was delicious and... messy.... I never had to play with tools like this before, as previously I had my lobster shelled. But it was so much fun to get dirty.Ice-cream based desserts were the perfect finish to a lovely meal. At the ned, we received complimentary shots of lemon flavoured course meal for with bottle of wine and service we have paid which is an absolute bargain for the quality of food and service you'll receive in return.I love that little place and we just keep coming back for more.Buon apetito!"

"My best friend drove down from Surrey yesterday with a request that we dine at the Digby. From entering, we were noticed. Staff smiled and said Hi, then the manager Immediately took charge with banter and smiles. We were seated at a lively window seat. From then on it ran like clockwork. Drinks order. Drinks served. Food order taken. Food served. Sauces asked and given. Food was so good. I could not stop eating. Hot, fresh and full of flavour. It was huge, and then the veg came. Wow. With just enough room to share a banana waffle I cannot tell you enough, it was perfect!"

"Missing atmosphere, background music seemed to be from a radio channel, but was drowned by owner managers on a personal video call. Despite the fact that I had asked to order the appetizers, and then we would have more time with our choice for the main thing, the manager came back to repeat the specials and not leave the table until he had taken the order for our main thing... We were not offered a wine list and when my partner ordered a bottle of Pinot, we discovered at the time of payment of the invoice that we were given a £28 bottle of Pinot!!! There were 4 options for dessert, 3 of them were chocolate based and very basic options overall. Generally disappointed by the whole evening, as we had eaten in a Greek restaurant 1 week earlier and play a really nice meal, pleasant atmosphere, Greek music in the background, no rush on our orders and good choice round."

"I have to say, they lived up to the hype. The food was amazing, the service was attentive, the prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend this restaurant."
