"The first time we went as a family and we were really impressed! Not least by our waiter, Robert, who was absolutely fantastic. He made space for us indoors (as it was quite chilly outside) by cleverly rearranging some tables without us having to ask. He was so kind and attentive. He’s a real asset to Valentina’s. Thanks Robert. Also Valentina’s made our dog very welcome too. We will definitely be back."

"Having frequented The Orange pub/restaurant on a number of occasions before we were expectant of an enjoyable meal experience. We found that the current menu was too 'avant-garde ', and pricy, for this type of establishment and our 'mains ' choices were very disappointing when compared to previous visits. The service was generally very good and we had a bill discounted by one of our mains choices in view of the disappointing quality. Our meal was a disappointing feature of one of our rare visits to the capital and somewhat marred our New Year 's Eve celebrations."

"Totally not what I expected. Big fan of Jamie's cooking however the food last Sunday eve was not the quality you would expect. Pizza was thin you could see the plate peak through the centre..the shrimp linguine was drowning in sauce and pasta was way overcooked. The service was lacking as well...staff looked tired and disinterested and the waitress placed the bill bang in the middle of the table as soon as we put the dessert spoon down. I understand they were close to closing time but the table next to us was still have their mains!"

"the enthusiasm of the birthday party we arrived has tied around the restaurant, which makes the conversation quite difficult, but it soon went back and the ambiente improved something. both our main, lasagne and meatballs, came unconsistently heated. the lasagne was in sharing hot and cool in others. the meatballs were simply piercable, although the pasta was hotly pierced. it was late, we were hungry, so not a fuss made, but it is fair to say that the food prep was sub standard and disappointing."

"the floor was dirty and was not cleaned. we had 3 meals and 2 were in order, but my aubergines were not cooked enough. Although I was complaining when they chew, the waiter said he would mention it at the chef. he didn't come back with an answer, so I had to ask him what the cook had said. he said that the cook had said that because they cooked unevenly, but there was no excuse. I think that was a bad customer service in the name of the cook."

"Jamie’s italian in merchant city is known in Great Britain. we went to dinner on Tuesday. the place was almost empty. we waited a few minutes before sitting.The decor is nice and cozy. the staff is very friendly and helpful. br/>We ordered various dishes as we were several. I personally had the Spinat ravioli. it was good, the sauce was a bit heavy, but overall it is a good dish to order. the desserts are very tasty. the icy laces are however very small."

"Atmosphere good, staff friendly. Although food arrived hot, the pasta was crunchy and still raw throughout. On one of our dishes, it was sliced steak, and when asked what it came with? We were told rice. Ten minutes later the waiter came back to explain it actually came with pasta. When the steak arrived there was no pasta in sight. When asked where's the pasta, they said it doesn't come with anything. Therefore we ended up ordering chips. By the time the chips arrived our guest had virtually finished their steak."
"the ambiente is beautiful and the personal was efficient and friendly. eating was quite average, nothing particularly excellent, even if we had dessert, pasta and pasta. starter and dessert but better than pasta. gnocchi and tottellini were both disappointing and definitiw not their high prices worth."

"The restaurant did not have a record of our booking or acknowledge any special occasion we had mentioned when booking. The server was unfriendly and the food was not up to standard. The garlic bread was burnt and the beef pasta was only warm, when it should have been hotter. Additionally, the staff were seen hanging around and complaining about their job."

"Our server, Iryna, was incredibly friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and made our meal truly exceptional. The seafood salad was unlike anything we had experienced before, but Iryna encouraged us to give it a try, and it was fantastic. The flavors and the sauce combined perfectly. Although my wife typically doesn't enjoy beets, she ended up eating half of hers because they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the small seafood linguine, which was definitely fresh and cooked in fish stock instead of the usual cream sauce. The seasoning was absolutely brilliant, and everything came together flawlessly. She also appreciated the perfect portion size; although she could have eaten more, she wanted to save room for dessert. To be honest, I found myself a bit envious of her dish and wished there was more to share. Not that I disliked my own meal, because I truly loved it. The pulled lamb was braised in a generous amount of red wine, and Iryna was right—while you could taste the wine, there was no overpowering alcohol flavor, just rich aromas. The pasta was cooked just right, and the lamb was tender and delicious. I could have easily eaten more, but I wanted to save space for dessert too. After discussing our options, we ultimately decided on the botanical dessert. Normally, we would have tried everything, but since we had lunch just three hours prior, we had to be mindful. The Botanical was the perfect choice to end our meal. The chocolate mousse coated in chocolate was just the right amount of sweet, not overwhelming at all. Paired with ice cream and toffee sauce, every spoonful had us saying "mmmmm.""

"The service at this restaurant was excellent. However, the food was extremely disappointing. The "chips" were actually bland chunks of potato, the meatballs were undercooked, and the overall dining experience was terrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone."

"Popped in for some food before a gig in town. The fixed menu at £11.95 for two courses excellent value and it wasn’t basic dishes I had calamari and steak bavette with rocket/basil/Parmesan. Couple of draught beers that weren’t on the menu that were worth checking out. A lager and a hoppier version as well. The location of the restaurant right at Momument ideal for a grab of food on a night out. Service was sometimes less attentive than it could be but overall a nice meal to start the night with."
"We visited Ponti’s on a Friday early evening for my wife’s birthday. It was a great experience from start to finish. Firstly the staff were all really friendly and welcoming. There was a good selection of drinks. We had Parmigiana and Truffle Arancina for starters, both of which were amazing. Then Fettucine Salmone and Linguine ai Gamberi for main both were great. They made a lovely gesture for my wife by bringing out a complimentary dessert. Overall fantastic"
"Best tasting pizzas in the south side. Could do with some extra meat toppings though so best to request extra when ordering, but even without great value for money, amazing tasty pizzas and I’ve tried a fair few on the menu and the finally great Customer service by the staff"

"We were really happy with our meal at Pizza East. We walked past and were pleasantly surprised at the minimalist industruial look of the space. The music being played was great too. We started with the anchovies which were so tasty and beautifully presented. Our pizzas were delicious too. I tried the N'djua and honey which was a perfect blend of spicy and sweet. The pizza bases were light and tasty.... The service was attentive but not stifling.... We had a bottle of wine to accompany our meal and were very pleased with it . It was a bit pricy but certainly we will return."

"The pizza was decent, but the service was extremely poor. We requested water for our wine and were given just a small glass of lukewarm tap water. As we were eating, our condiments were taken off our table and given to another group. My plate was cleared even though my dining companion was still eating. The moment she finished her meal, the waiter swiftly cleared our table. We felt rushed and had a negative experience, despite the restaurant only being half full."

"Very pleasant Italian food.Quite small so very noisy when full plus very loud music. Why oh why do Italian restaurants never give you enough Parmesan and have condiments on the table. There was too much tomato sauce on the bolognese and a shame they could not make an affagato,as it is only a scoop of icecream with a shot of espresso added.Indeed all the deserts were not homemade. The pizzas were excellent. The waiter is charming and attentive."
