"I chose to take my wife here for Valentine’s Day I had already read previous reviews so I knew there was no menu to choose fromOn arrival we was met with a friendly attitude and had a choice of tablesWe was unsure of exactly what dishes we would get we was asked if we like fish but we said no for starters we were given Parma ham which was absolutely delicious followed by tagliatelle Bolognese which is one of the best I have ever tasted then we had a further course presented to us of ravioli which again was deliciousThen came the confusing part we thought that was it so with a language problem we was asked if we wanted deserts so we said yes and had deserts we then realised all of the dishes had not been presented so I opted to have a further course of ravioli then a extremely delicious prawn dish came out followed by the speciality of a suckling pig all of these meals were absolutely faultless the service was exceptional with a lot of humour which we enjoyed some people may be put off by that but each to their ownI would say this is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited with exceptional food we also had a bottle of wine, a Pepsi and Our bill was £80For the amount of courses we had this was excellent value for money we would definitely visit again we ended up sitting with a few other couples towards the end of the night which just made the night complete and made new friendsAs the previous reviews have said just arrive sit back and enjoy you will not be disappointed"

"Went there because of good reviews, and hopes were high. A multi course Italian dinner of chef’s choises of the day and the whole thing done similtaneously to all in that small restaurant wonderful consept! Was hoping to have nice wines too for different dishes but all they had by glass was inexpensive IGT wines. For bottles: no list, but some decent barolos and brunellos decorating their walls. Didn’t have a bottle on my own. About food having lived in Italy for years I have to say there was little Italian in any of the dishes. 1) Starter salad with young prociutto, that no one explained where it came from and how was it matured 2) followed by (ok) pork sausace on spinache, but nothing complicated for a chef to do 3) prawns in tomato sauce cooked until so dry I left them 4) plain scallops in oven, again over cooked (from frozen, both? why not have them really fresh when you know how many people are going to have this at this spesific day and time? Or then choose another ingredient, fresh? 5) razor clams in oven, topped with parsely and oil… nothing amazing, repeating my self but over cooked 6) ravioli with aspargus filling would eat this without question over any casual lunch but no reason to praise chef’s skills. No finesse. Simple cream sauce. 7) whole pork was brought by applauze and I guess some people do enjoy pouring gravy and shredding their pork pieces but sorry was not really the Italian experience I was hoping for 8) panna cotta with berries. Simple and easy to do also at home. Bill for 2 ppl including compulsory tip: 199£"

"We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife 's, Angela 's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials ' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino 's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino 's singing 'Happy Birthday ' with their quirky horn wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille! Yet again, Nino 's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room ' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you ' to all at Nino 's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao."

"The Afternoon Tea was a gift via a Groupon Voucher, I had pre booked and asked for 1 savoury and 1 sweet tea this request made no difference to what I know is probably a standard 'package '. Our stay was a total of 40 minutes, the general atmosphere was quiet and the place a little dated . We were sat in the bay of conservatory which was a little on the stuffy side, the window seal that surrounded the table had clearly not seen a duster in a good few days. I concur with a previous comment that people standing outside smoking nearby isn 't a great nearby view so perhaps the fact the windows were shut was a good thing. Staff were friendly and we we were promptly seated and a glass of 'bubbly ' served , the bubbly wasn 't great a cheap sparkling wine I imagine neither glass was finished . Then a 2 tier cake stand arrived with 2 very large scones and 2 iced chocolate cakes , the bottom tier had a pot of jam , pot of cream and 8 tiny finger sandwiches , 4 brown (2 egg mayonnaise and 2 fish paste of some sort , 4 white (2 cucumber and 2 ham and mustard , we had to ask for tea and along came one pot that was just enough for one cup of tea each , the tea was a tea bag but none the less the tea was ok. The sandwiches were small and rather tasteless we left the 'fish paste ones ' . The scones were ok though out of proportion to the 'savoury ' sandwich side , the iced cakes were hard even perhaps a little stale so again most of it was left plus i discovered one had a small hair on it !. We decided to leave and left the table when a more Senior Lady (it would seem indicated there was more cake (gateaux to come ? she was very nice and we did explain it was quite a let down and very disappointing and therefore we would rather just leave , she said she understood. So to conclude in my view Afternoon Tea here is a waste of money , a Groupon/voucher may seem a good deal but the price probably reflects the quality , quality and standard of what you get and that is being generous. I would not return unfortunately and certainly would not gift a voucher to someone else , I am now in the position that IF asked how my 'gift experience ' went I would have to be honest as I certainly wouldn 't want anyone to waste their time or money as I could not recommend the afternoon tea unfortunately . I would lastly add I do not serially or frequently post negative reviews , on this occasion there was no other option."

"My wife and I had Sunday lunch here on a special deal with Amazon Local. We paid £9.95 each for a really lovely meal and some of the best roast beef we have had for a long time. The hotel is located in the rural setting of Woughton on the Green on the edge of Milton Keynes and combines country house charm with traditional furnishings. There is plenty of parking .We ate in Lanes Restaurant (it isn't called Seasons any longer) which was quite busy with only a few tables left. The service from start to finish was professional and friendly. There are three choices on the menu but we had a tomato and pepper soup with croutons that were a little soggy but the soup tasted great. I had smoked salmon and crayfish with a mary rose sauce, again very tasty. For main course we had the traditional roast beef and Yorkshire puddings with roast potatoes and vegetables. The beef was outstanding, cooked medium rare and sliced very generously. The horseradish sauce they served was outstanding with nice pieces of horseradish that made it zesty and flavoursome. This contrasts with the rather wishy washy horseradish you normally get in restaurants. Slightly less impressive were the vegetables as there were only a few shards of limp carrots and parsnips, but the beef more than made up for it. A separate pot of gravy was brought to the table, again a nice touch usually only seen in more expensive restaurants.My wife didn’t have dessert but I had burnt cream or crème brule which was really good. For drinks we asked for a bottle of sparkling water but unfortunately they just poured carbonated chilled filtered tap water from a bottle, which neither of us like, then took the bottle away. I have never been to a restaurant that successfully does this and this one was no exception. The wine was a very acceptable French chardonnay at £25. Generally the wine list caters for all budgets but is a little on the expensive side.We would thoroughly recommend a visit here for Sunday lunch and even better if you can get a great deal as we did."

"Three of us invaded this lovely eatery in Chingford on a busy Saturday night, and we weren 't disappointed. We were warmly greeted by Silvo and shown to our table. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting, light coloured walls, and prints of Italian locations. Armed with two Aperol Spritz, we perused their wide ranging menu, especially when you include their Specials ' board. Accompanied by welcoming background music and the polite chatter and laughter from other diners already there, we made our selection. Soon, Orazio joined us, and the chat and laughter began with Silvo and Orazio. Our starters consisted of Avocado and Prawns for two; and Avocado, Prawns, and crab for one, off their specials ' board. The freshness and flavour were outstanding. Our mains were as great, too. There was Lamb, fresh Tuna, both with sides; and one Linguine Marinara: all were presented and prepared to perfection. This was baptised with our traditional Primitivo: a full bodied red from Italy with a hint of sweetness and an appetising aroma. We gluttons then found room for dessert: profiteroles and ice cream; afrogato, and an apple pie drizzled off menu with Amaretto. These were delicious. We concluded this culinary perfection with an Americano, lemon tea, a cappuccino, and two black Sambucas. Plus, complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille, Silvo. It was truly a splendid dining experience. Our compliments to the chef for his artistry and friendliness, and a big 'thank you ' to all at La Baita for the chat, laughter, and superb cuisine. We will be back soon. Until then, keep smiling, be safe, and happy. Ciao."
