"We selected this restaurant for a pre-theater dinner and were, unfortunately, disappointed overall in our experience. The restaurant is much smaller than we had anticipated and when we arrived, the person who spoke to us manager, owner? asked for our name when I told him we had a reservation. Then he said who? as if we didn 't have a reservation made months earlier . That made our arrival at the restaurant a bit uncomfortable. After a bit, we were shown to a table in a noisy corner of the place. Meanwhile, the man who greeted ? us looked at the woman who would be waiting on our table in a way that felt to us like he had no idea who we were but needed to seat us, nonetheless. It was an apologetic look and it was noted. It took her quite some time to come and get our drink order which we all noticed. It seemed like once she realized that we were all ordering adult beverages, her attitude changed a bit as she realized that she could get a large tip for service which she, in fact, did . Once we started eating the food which took a long time to get to the table, we were happy with the dinners we had ordered. The food was really good, no complaints there. It was the service that was disappointing. So, if you don 't mind not being treated nicely in a restaurant where you 'll be dropping 2 or 3 hundred pounds sterling, and you 're only and all about the food, this place is for you. I left thinking the following : food that isn 't as good as the food we had here tastes better when the service is warm and welcoming. Overall, disappointed. Les Mis was awesome, though!"

"we were looking for a quick appetizer, as we have a short time between afternoon activities and a visit to the citizen’s theatre, training spotting, fantastic, but that is for another review site! very practical restaurant for parking and theatre, and welcomed by friendly staff. restaurants were quiet around 18 o'clock, we both chose from the 2 cursor menu. we had bruschetta and zuppa di fagioli to begin with a side garlauchbrot, the bruschetta was fantastic. for the net I had pollo alla cacciatore, nicely cooked and tasted fantastic. my wife had pennette amatriciana, she also thought is really nice. we will certainly go back when we have a little more time to relax and enjoy the experience, but the personal and the service we have received was very good."

"I absolutely adore this restaurant. I went on a Saturday evening with friends and family, and the atmosphere was lively. There was a live singer performing classic swing songs, which added to the fantastic ambiance. The food was delicious - the bruschetta was exceptional, and my son gave the calamari a glowing 'amazing and beautiful' review. The pizzas were freshly made and a good size, and I heard that the pasta dishes were also fantastic. As a bonus, Giuseppe himself came around to speak to each table, making the evening even more special. This restaurant offers classic rustic Italian cuisine and is definitely worth a visit."

"Food and service were both good and we even didn't mind being seated next to the kitchen door but what really spoilt the evening was at the end of our main course the music volume was doubled and as we were sitting next to a speaker we had to shout to each other to be heard. Twice we asked for the music to be turned down, but it didn't seem any quieter. Whatever happened to background music that meant you could still talk and hear each other rather than shouting at each other."

"I don't normally do reviews, but this place was a disaster. We went in with a group of 6. They can't split checks so we sat as 2 tables of 3. Table 1 ordered and they sent it to the kitchen. The waitress came back and took Table 2's order. Table 1 had ordered a couple starters. Table 2's food showed up quickly and we insisted they eat without us. They finished their meal while Table 1 sat with no food. About 30 minutes after we ordered our starters showed up. Then another 20 minutes past with nothing. We ran out of time and asked to have our meals boxed. That took another 10 minutes. The place seems to be run by a bunch of teenagers and I'm sure they were just punishing us for asking to split the ticket. Plus, they were fairly rude about the whole situation. This is a huge shame because last year we ate here with no issues and convinced our friends to go with us this time. Never again."

"Small bijou restaurant with lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff, an unusual Indian menu presented on small plates. Interesting choices (far from the usual Indian restaurant type menu), we had small plates between two of us. Above all, the flavours and perfect cooking of each dish mean we shall be going back. The plain paratha is out of this world, try it with any dish!"

"A Local Favourite. I can't quite understand some of the reviews I have seen here. I have no idea why anyone would choose this small, independent restaurant for your office party of people -I'm pretty sure you couldn't fit anything like that number in here..This is one of the few remaining traditional, independent businesses in the area, and it offers a much more intimate experience than can be found at the likes of Lobster Burger or Polpo. I'm not saying that it cn't be a bit cramped on a busy night, but this is part of its charm...and there is outdoor seating too, if you are so inclinedMy food was simple, unpretentious and excellent: my lingine con frutti di mare was packed with very fresh prawns, scampi, squid, clams and mussels and steamed in foil. The tomato sauce that accompanied it was delicate and well-balanced.My companion had the set menu: avocado vinaigrette, followed by risotto agli asparagi (asparagus risotto) for The avocado was perfectly ripe,and came served on a nice (if unannounced) bed of salad -the only criticism was that the sauce wasn't exactly vinaigrette, but something slightly creamier -it still tasted good though. The risotto was also very pleasant, the asparagus being cooked through (but not over-done), which made a pleasant change from the current trend for serving it partially-cooked. I also liked the free prosecco to start with and the amaretto and amaretti biscuits that they gave you after your meal. Sure, it isn't the reason i came here, but these nice little touches are appreciated. Service was charming and very attentive. I liked the fact that they gave me a finger-bowl because of my seafood."

"I only stopped by here for a quick drink so I am really only commenting on the pub and the service in this review although I plan to come back to eat and possibly stay while walking the South Downs Way. I had been out in Alfriston for the day with the new boy and after a visit to the local gallery and a glorious walk through the Sussex countryside, we popped in her for a quick glass of red before heading home. The pub, like everything in the picturesque village of Alfriston, is old (14th century) and quaint. Think open fires, low wooded beams and lots of character. Wanting to make the most of the early spring sunshine we sat in the garden which is also beautiful. The service was reasonably friendly if a little brisk and the wine was decidedly average, but the surrounding more than made up for this. We bumped into friends that were having the Sunday roast and they also commented that they had waited a long time for the food and there was nothing special about it, I would like to try this for myself though before making a judgment, maybe something from the al la carte menu which look pretty tasty. I will be back and will happily update my review when I can judge the food for myself!"

La Lombarda Restaurant Aberdeen

"We visited La Lombarda for a special meal, having not been in years and had good experiences. However, this was not a great experience. It was quiet with 6 tables (at most). We waited over 30 minutes for our starters which were an antipasti and bruschetta. My bruschetta was just chopped tomatoes on garlic bread.... Have had better in chain Italian restaurants. My calzone was cold in the middle and very poorly made. My husband's pizza was very average. Again, we waited over 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared and no one checked or asked how we found the food. We only got our plates cleared because we called someone over to ask for the bill. The prices are high and for the quality of food, they are out right atrocious. Considering the competition of other Italian restaurants in Aberdeen, La Lombarda doesn't even compete, unfortunately. It is such ashame as it has been a staple in Aberdeen's city centre for so many years but has gone downhill considerably since I last visited."

"After Italmania on Union Street shut down a few years ago I struggled to find an Italian in Glasgow that done a really good carbonara. The carbonara here is delicious. I would recommend the rose wine on the wine list, it's odd but worth it, I would also reccomend the garlic bread with cheese, the bread is more like pan bread and not the usual garlic baggette you get elsewhere. The staff are great, the food is amazing. I used to go here every Friday for lunch (before I bought a house and became permanently skint) and would always get half pizza half pasta with a friend which was always amazing. They also do a thing called Viva Gold, if you say this when booking and it's within the set timescales of the deal you can get between off the food bill depending on the day. Check their website for times before booking."

"The true taste of Italy. I am pleasantly surprised by this quaint Italian restaurant. It is charming, cozy, and very welcoming. A big thank you to Catarina, who is a wonderful host. The chef, Arturo, is very friendly and made my dish taste just like home in Italy. This Capri family really brings the feel of the Mediterranean to the table. I requested a calabrese dish and they perfectly delivered what I asked for. Their cardamom with cream dessert is a must-try. I am so impressed with this restaurant, please thank them for me. I can see why regular customers keep coming back. Count me in as a new fan. Lady Bellie, reporting for duty!"

"Visiting Edinburgh over the festive season for my partners birthday. Googled for restaurant recommendations and this one came top. Outstanding service from start to finish and amazing food. Great menu choice also. I had the pasta demme chef and was a really good choice. Also let them know on booking we were celebrating a birthday and the team brought us out a cupcake with a candle and sang happy birthday. An excellent touch! Top marks would recommend to anyone."

"First of all: super friendly and competent service, rarely so positively experienced!!! Unfortunately you visit a restaurant not only because of the service but also because of the food, that has been very neglected. We used to be more frequent since Corona was the first time again. The card is very reduced, which in itself would not be disturbing if the quantity and quality of the food were to be right! Meat was too little, too fried (beides well done instead of medium), all very overwürzt. Price performance doesn't fit, despite the great location. Wine map also strongly shrunk, yet the selected wine was delicious! There was no espresso, unfortunately, because the machine was defective, too. All in all, there will be no replay..."

"The front of the restaurant on Argyle Street may be understated, but the interior is quite pleasant with a conservative and classic decor that complements the menu and service well. The menu is extensive and features a great wine selection. The dishes are beautifully presented and well cooked, with a delightful mix of flavors and textures that evoked memories of dining in Florence. The service is attentive yet not intrusive, catering perfectly to my preference to focus solely on my companion. I highly recommend trying the steak Diane."

"I had a truly special date night at the restaurant last night. I had been fishing during the day, and I must say, it was the best fish I've ever tasted. It was topped with mussels and calamari, all elegantly presented in a delicious white wine sauce. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating; they even changed my wine when I didn't like the one I initially chose. I can't wait for my next visit!"

"We enjoyed our meal at Pier Eight although my wife dudn’t enjoy her starter .However this was deducted from our bill ! The panna cotta was ice but it was too thin and the texture was not as firm as it should have been .However overall the meal was good and the service was even better . May one criticism would be that the tables around the sides of the room are too close together leaving a very small space to squeeze through to get to your seat .Which would be very hard for people with a larger build and the closeness of other tables inhibitis converstation"

"I am amazed that I had never been to this restaurant before. The food was fantastic, served by friendly and welcoming staff. Every dish was packed with flavor and prepared with great attention to detail. The wine selection was vast and reasonably priced, and the float coffee and handmade biscuits were excellent additions."

"This Italian restaurant is fantastic! The staff is friendly and the food is cooked perfectly. I started with the delicious mussels in a white wine, tomato, and chili sauce. Then I had the Veal Parmigiana, which was absolutely delicious. The homemade Tiramisu was also fantastic. They have a good selection of reasonably priced wines. Overall, a fantastic restaurant that is definitely worth a visit."
