"Had a lovely lunch at Cowley on a day with very mixed weather. They have clearly spent time and money on erecting a sturdy, but attractive, canopy over the outdoor terrace. There was some torrential rain while we were eating but we were completely protected so remained dry and, with the addition of heaters and blankets, warm too. Although it was busy, the tables were well spaced so we didn't feel too close to the other diners. The view at Cowley is absolutely beautiful even in the rain so it was great to be outdoors enjoying it, even with mixed weather. The food was very tasty I had poached salmon and my friend had fish cake. The portions are never huge but it was enough, with side orders, to feel satisfied. Service was friendly the only grumble was that it was quite slow (over 40 minutes before our food arrived! . But all in all, a very pleasant return to socialising (safely!"

"Continental breakfast has a good selection, but the pastries were the equivalent to a cheap low cost hotel. There are a couple of good bakeries in Cheltenham and would suggest the hotel review their supply chain for these.I decided to pay extra for the full English, and in all honesty, I wish I had not. I could not eat more than a quarter of the sausage as it tasted like a cheap pork sausage. I was also served the smallest poached hens egg I have ever seen you get the picture.Overall, this hotel really really needs to up their game with the quality of their ingredients.The service however was excellent and the waiting staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly"

"Awful experience. Last year went twice as so good but not this year. No longer serve separate starters but didn’t tell us so half the food went cold as can’t eat everything at once. The manager just shrugged and said they stopped as orders were getting missed. The waiting staff looked stressed and clearly knew things were not right. I had to send my pizza back as dry with little topping second wasn’t much better and no seasoning. The burgers were good to be fair, but the chips were clearly reheated. Clearly they are focusing on the tourist market now and don’t care about repeat business."

"The manager of Ciao Italia took two weeks to respond to my request for a quote, and I had to follow up with them. The manager then sent me a very high quote for afternoon tea from a cafe email. I asked to reduce the quantity and the alcohol, but did not receive a response. The manager went on holiday and the food seemed to be from an outside caterer. There was too much food, endless jugs of alcohol, and glass cups with hot water and tea bags for making tea. I was pressured to pay a large bill at the end of the wake for my mother because the staff claimed they did not receive my request to reduce the order. Finally, the manager admitted that she had sent the quote from the wrong email and had not seen my request. It took over a month to receive a limited refund. It seems that this restaurant does many wakes, but I feel taken advantage of and ripped off. This experience made a stressful and upsetting day even worse."

"the food really enjoyed it. peri burger are excellent and the plate was also great. the city road is always busy, but there are many parking places close to it. Many places you can eat in the city street, but this place will now be a regular thing for me. far better than the psychlene huhn franchise shops that charge much more for bland food."

"From booking to payment, an all-round good experience. There is free direct access from the free public car-park behind although there is also free parking in the street outside if available. The request for a table in a quieter area (if there is one) so we can hold a conversation, was listened to and we were pleased to be away from the busy centre. Waiting staff were friendly and service was impeccable with just the right degree of attentiveness at all the right times. The food was delightful both in taste and presentation and the portions very generous. We had to take some home! We will definitely be going back as there is a lot more on the menu we want to try and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening there."

"I went with a group of friends to celebrate a special occasion (what we told the restaurant). We were placed outside while another big group was inside, and we found the service completely inadequate. We all ordered drinks (including three of the same thing) that the waitress went to one with up to ten or fifteen minutes between. At one point it literally took 35 minutes between ordering and receiving a dietary coke. We got water, but no glasses and finally restored to get things like salt and pepper from ourselves. Most of us enjoyed the food, but two people had (pritty standard) diet requirements and they were delivered only with things from the menu, minus what they could not eat at the normal price. They were both hungry when we were gone. In the end we complained and were offered a 10% discount. When we got the bill, we found that they just deducted the service fee and then total £7.50 were deducted from the actual bill (maybe less than ten percent)! Given that the manager came out and was really apologetic, that actually felt a bit insulting more than anything. I had friends who traveled from outside London for what should be a really nice special opportunity and food here meant that the day went out to a really frustrating start!"
"we had unexpected guests coming to see us and thought it an ideal opportunity to an try an Italian restraurant that we had seen in Olney. How right we were the booking could not have been easier and the menu was perfect for all four of us and all had well cooked meals and plenty on the plates. promptly served by two delightful knowledgeable waitresses. We shall certainly be coming back."

"We were a group of 3, and all ordered different dishes for main course and dessert. We all rated them as excellent. We had a nice bottle of wine too, and coffee afterwards. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant was fairly quiet. Our only disappointment was that a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill, including the wine. This made the meal quite costly overall. We would have left a generous tip, but would have preferred to decide it's amount for ourselves."

"Great food and fast service. We did wait longer then usual to be asked if we wanted any drinks when we sat down, but it wasn't long enough to think we had been forgotten. For a Sunday nyt there was a good atmosphere with a steady flow of diners. Both pizzas we had were very tasty and quick to be served. Please continue to support this resturants Daventry."

"Not leaving a review for the food, though I could, as I have eaten from here heaps and always enjoyed it. Reason for the review is just that these guys are ACE. Had a delivery order from the place next door to them. Order was wrong. Phoned the number on the next door restaurants webpage. No connection. Found a different number from another website. That one just rang and rang. Called Marco’s to see if they had contact details for their neighbours, and the guy from Marco’s went next door to fetch the manager of the other restaurant. Now THAT is going above and beyond. Great service from the Marco’s team."

"we were here and enjoyed the excellent worth everything they can eat. our friends are not very sharp in Chinese and have a bad experience, so I treated them for a birthday buffet to try to change their thoughts. we were greeted by a very nice and cheerful lady who said we could sit everywhere, we were happy with sitting our sohne in his wheelchair. we have many problems with his chair and some make clear that he is not welcome. today we were sitting carefully and additional spoons were delivered with a stack serviettes for andrew. the buffet is still 2 steps, but the dame waited for the help with otherrews chair. we chose our starters from a large selection and followed with the nets and finally the desert. our friends have now been transformed into the joyful of a Chinese meal, and especially others left with a full boil and watched on the charming staff. well done the dragons kiss. 20/10/2017 revisited today and had provided another beautiful meal by friendly and helpful staff. a real pleasure. I like the decor, they know they are in a Chinese restaurant and not mcdonald’s. we're going back next week."
