"Visited here for lunch with friends to celebrate a special occasion. We chose the 3 course meal deal for approx £23.95 each. The food was amazing. Each course was so tasty and well presented. Couldn’t fault at all. The service from the female waitress was great and she was very friendly and chatty. The restaurant was clean and other staff also friendly. Would definitely recommend this place."

"we came in, sat at the table at the window behind the main entrance, and then started the fun. we ordered a starter, garlic brot with mozzarella. then, for the main course, we had an amazing tasty and for baked chicken breast to die that came with rocket salad, parmesan, creamy white sauce, and some tagliolini. for the desert we had sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream and spiced honey panna cotta that saw and tasted amazing. I can't express how amazing the service was. I'd rate 10/10 if I could. we sat around 17:05 (ish) and had our ancestors about ten or 15 minutes later. shortly after we had our head. we were almost two hours there and enjoyed every second of it. many thanks that they make our first trip to the lake district, fulfill and welcome. I will definitely come back and recommend everyone I know."

"We’re definitely heading back tomorrow! My friend and I were craving Italian food and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant just a short walk from our hotel. Our cravings were more than satisfied. We started with a sensational garlic pizza bread, which was simply fantastic. For the main course, my friend had a delicious creamy salmon dish, while I indulged in a mouthwatering pasta with Italian sausage and salami. To top it off, we enjoyed one of the best desserts I've ever had—the screamberry cheesecake. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and superb, enhanced by the exceptionally friendly and efficient service. We still have a few days left in the Lake District, and we've already booked a table for another visit!"

"We went for a family meal, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered several starters which all came and were very nice. The mains arrived(ish) they dropped one of the meals so that came later these things happen. The special Swordfish ..was as dry as a bone, this was returned and the chef re.cooked the dish and sent a new meal out which was cooked to perfection and lovely, which begs the question Why was the original dish even served The Calzone was not very pleasant it was over powered with ricotta cheese to the degree that the other fillings were unnoticeable, however we didn't complain as they were obviously having a difficult evening! This was one of our many visits to this restaurant, had this been the first time it would have been the last."

"After using Prezzo here for many years and usually always very good it was very disappointing on Sunday. The restaurant was empty which surprised me especially this time of year admittedly football was on but was very odd. The place was so cold I had to ask for the heating to go on. The food was disappointing this time I had Calamari as no cheese for starters available Calamari was not something I would normally order. My chicken burger was only luke warm. My husband and daughter had the gnocchi and prawns they said very bland. The gorgonzola pizza my daughter had the garlic butter on top had not melted and the ham was just thrown on top 2 pieces ! The child's pizza was extremely small. Desserts were okay but no ice cream or cream offered. When your paying full prices this time of year i definitely expect better! To top it all I had severe diarhea all day Monday and was fine whilst out on the Sunday. We never said anything at the time even tipping but to be honest I won't be using Upminster prezzo again which is a shame as was our local totally put us off !"

"we are a group of friends who meet every other month an eating club for good eating and good company. as usual, this restaurant has not disappointed in wise. they have kept the price down and the service levels are very good...Staff members very friendly and attentive and professional. we ate from the set course menu and had several different elements of start, netzen and sweets. the appetizers, among them smoked salmon and prosciutto ham, were very generous portions, all the main thing came together and were served piping hot and the deserts all very well. Drinks are not too expensive and the owner was in participation to chat all the tables and ask what our opinions of the meal. this will become one of our regular visits in the future. the only very small side was the young couple who stood up with a baby on pm and it was going not to stop for ten minutes. bad little thing should have been home in bed."

"This restaurant in Eastbourne is truly exceptional. We started with delicious Oysters Scallops and the Dover Sole, one of their specialty dishes, for mains. The ice cream with meringue center, two shots poured over coffee, and a liquor were all fantastic too. We returned the next day for lunch and enjoyed pasta dishes, with mine being off-menu but happily accommodated by the proprietor. The house wine we had on our second visit was also very good. The staff at this restaurant are clearly dedicated to providing exceptional service, and we were pleasantly surprised by the improvements made since the previous management. Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend it."

"We had originally made a reservation at a different Italian restaurant for dinner, but while walking around, we stumbled upon Prima. After checking out their menu, we decided to cancel our reservation and dine here instead. We each enjoyed a main course and a bottle of wine, both of which were delicious. I ordered clams and wished there had been a bowl for the empty shells instead of placing them on the tablecloth. A finger bowl would have been useful as well. Despite these minor issues, the service was overall very good. The atmosphere was excellent and we were surprised at how busy it was for a Monday evening. The prices were reasonable and we would definitely dine here again if we visit Ripon in the future."

"We ordered a garl8c bread starter to share, with two min courses to follow. The main courses arrived fairly quick, with the starter course following! We agreed to rake them both together, however, the garlic bread was undercooked, so we asked for it to be reheated. We did received a replacement 15 or so minutes later, but to be honest, it was only slightly better than the first one. We ate what we could, bit left the majority of it, which was just a slippy mess. The main courses were excellent however, steaming hot, and full of prawns. It salvaged the experience fprnus."

"I was recommended this place via the Michelin guide and the experience itself was quite good. I think the overall experience would improve definitiw if the weather was better than it was 30° c and there was no air conditioning at all. we sat up and we thought it was cooler, but we incubated the whole meal in the sun. we all have a 2 cursor meal with two sides. in the attached pictures they see that we selected the appetizers, soy marinated salmon, chicken parfait and lobster ravio. for the net we have chosen, chicken breast, salmon fillet and the bark wellington. the appetizers all had a pretty strong salt taste on them that we might not be that earlier, but the main were absolutely delicious. we had a bad experience with the lobster raviolo when we found several dishes. the chicken breast was tender and nicely cooked, the salmon was juicy and the pure compliment it was good, the bark meat gutington had honestly so good taste only by itself without the pure, but with it it added it was phenomenal. another thing we have noticed is that the online menu is actually different from the menu we have seen in the restaurant so that the online version will probably need an update so that people can preview what they can order."

"Went there for my birthday with my partner having walked past previously and noticed that it was a lively place. Reasonable selection of pastas and pizzas although mains were a bit pricier. I had scallops with chorizo starter, my partner had mushrooms with mascarpone on a brioche and we both had the roast lamb with ratatouille and rosemary potatoes. Food was presented nicely and the lamb and potatoes were lovely. Service was attentive until we realised why- The place really filled up with quite a lot of groups and they wanted our table, so they rushed us through our main course and as soon as I put my knife and fork down, they asked us to move tables to make room for a group. This was bad form and really quite rude! We grudgingly moved, after which they completely ignored us! After that treatment we decided not to have dessert and asked for the bill (no apology and still no eye contact). Left feeling slightly disappointed that they had spoilt the evening, only to then have a bout of food poisoning! I blame the scallops! So stay away from the seafood! Its probably fine if you're in a group, but you don't quite get the same level of service if you are just a couple!"

"I never usually leave reviews, but I feel particularly motivated after my experience at villa marina. My girlfriend ordered the chicken and chorizo paella and I ordered pizza. Unfortunately the chicken in the paella wasn’t right, it was crunchy chewy and rubbery. It was inedible. I told the waitress that it wasn’t right and asked if it had been cooked properly, I was told that that is how the chicken is, if it wasn’t cooked it would be pink and I should Google it. She did offer to give us another paella meal, but she said it would be the same as that is what the chicken is like. She was very defensive and unapologetic which lead us to leave it and just not eat the chicken as we did not want to get ill. They did knock £6 off the £16 charge for the paella, however I feel this is not good enough and felt compelled to write a review due to the way that the situation was handled as it made the atmosphere very awkward and ruined our meal. The pizza and wine was nice though."

"Burn Appetito clearly has a captive audience in the village of Wolsingham as there is little competition in terms of eating establishments, so I was hoping to be impressed on my second visit as hadn’t been on my first visit. Once again totally disappointed. In most Italian establishments you receive a little bread, olive oil, just something, definitely not here. The wine range was incredibly limited so we chose a decent red, rather expensive. The starters took an age to arrive and I had ordered tomato and basil soup and it came with a 2 inch piece of toasted bread and was hugely disappointing. My partner ordered the special lobster ravioli starter and it was the weirdest tasting dish. The main course I hoped would be better…… my partner ordered fillet steak with prawns and at nearly £35 a dish hoping to be blown away. Imagine the surprise when it arrived with mediocre chips, not one vegetable or pice of garnish in sight and just the steak and 3 prawns! Wow, definitely not wow! I had cannelloni and can safely say it was the worst offering I’ve ever had in an Italian restaurant. It was swimming in what looked like tomato soup and the actual mince was grey. Needless to say I sent it back and ordered a pizza. The experience could be so much better and the shame is for an Italian they didn’t even have proper red wine glasses. We definitely won’t be back unless they have a radical rethink. Only saving Grace is the staff are lovely."

"Update Mothers Day 24 Took my mother today for a treat and she enjoyed it. Not cramped at all and very friendly staff. Not a cheap meal but very nice. I like the food here and it is very popular so book if you can! At times I have felt a little cramped as they don't like to turn people away and if can get very hot, it is a very old building! Good location, staff friendly but can be a little slow on busy nights (to be expected really) I would recommend eating here but as I say book ahead!"

"It's always a pleasure to visit this restaurant. We've been eating here for more than twenty years and the service is always polite and friendly. Most importantly, the quality of the food is consistently excellent. In more recent years, there has been a focus on the presentation of the food and the decor of the building. Somehow, the cost of a meal is still very reasonable. It's always a joy to visit and, once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal this weekend. It reminded me that we should visit more often. Thank you to all the staff who work very hard to ensure Franco's remains the best restaurant in town. Don't miss out!"

"Highly recommend The Ship. My Husband and I haven't been to the restaurant in awhile and we were happy we tried it again. We dined at the restaurant after attending a wake on Tuesday night and were shocked at the inexpensive prices for dinner for 2 it included a bottle of wine, salad, entrée and dessert all for $40.00. More importantly, the food was very good and we plan to dine there in the future."
"I’ve been here before and been given the old waffle about them liking tips in cash but now they actually print on the bill “service charge not included. Gratuities cannot be left on credit or debit cards as 100% of tips are shared between staff” I eat out a lot at all types of restaurant I’ve literally never ever had a bill like this with this wording insisting on cash tips Since covid I just don’t carry cash and I would imagine many people do the same All other restaurants I have been to without exception either add a service charge or allow a tip/gratuity to be added to the bill and in both cases the total bill can be paid for by credit or debit card These restaurants all then split the tip/gratuity between the staff by including their share in their wages which then ensures that tax is paid on the tips/gratuity as the law requires so this still ensures that “100% of tips are shared between staff” as the bill wishes The tip/gratuity if paid in cash like at this restaurant still needs to be declared to HMRC and I assume the staff/restaurant do this The advantage of allowing the tip/gratuity to be paid by credit or debit card is that this separate disclosure to HMRC is not required as it is dealt with through the businesses payroll system and tax applied accordingly"

"We have been meaning to try this place for years and finally got around to a last minute visit at the weekend. The restaurant is small and very busy so I'd recommend booking well ahead of time. The food is really very good. The goats cheese starter on the specials menu was divine and I would also recommend the pasta dishes. The cheese garlic bread was OK but I prefer more cheese. The tiramasu and nutella dessert were both great. The service was very attentive. We were regularly asked if everything was OK and if we would like more drinks. Will definitely return."

"We had the best Italian meal at this restaurant! All four of us were extremely satisfied with our dishes. The two guys ordered filet steak, which came with chips and salad, and both agreed it was the best they've ever had. I opted for a chicken pasta in a lovely creamy sauce, while our other friend enjoyed the lasagna and loved it as well. We started with garlic bread and some garlic mushrooms, which were great and came in generous portions! I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely return if we’re in the area. The only downside was that it was quite warm inside the restaurant, so we stepped outside for some fresh air. Other than that, everything was perfect!"

"Lasagna was dry as though it was frozen, microwave defrosted and grilled at the end. £2.95 small glass of coke. Music too loud and not relevant to an Italian restaurant. Had to place order 3 days in advance. Limited parking, so have to park on the street inbetween peoples driveways. They seem to have 3 buckets of base sauces used to top steaks and mix into pastas. This is why we don’t eat out anymore."
