"aaahhh, La Pappardella....There's nothing I can say that can give their food justice...I've known La Pappardella for years, though I haven't been there for a while, until recently, where my husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary.So we went there full of hopes for a delicious, romatic evening. And such evening we've had.We were greeted by two of their staff and even though we have booked a table, they gave us a free choice to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant is small but they do have some sitting downstairsin and in the back garden in the summer.We've ordered a nice bottle of white wine. The choice on the menu is endless. Anything from pasta through risotto to pizzas and salads. We started off with grilled prawns and carpaccio. Now, I'm not a big fan of sea food, but I scoffed up almost all of my husband's starter. Carpaccio: tender and full of flavour.For main, my hubby chose risotto. That was the biggest plate i have seen while eating out. It was rich and creamy with fresh chicken and tender veg. I went for a lobster spaghetti. A bit extravagant, but it was a special occasion and I just wanted to compare London's lobster to the one we had in St Kitts. Well, I was not dissapointed. A huge plate of pasta (though it was slightly over-cooked and i like mine a bit tenter) in a rich, fresh tomato and a hint of a chilli sauce and there, on top, lay the lobster in its full glory: cut in quarters. It was delicious and... messy.... I never had to play with tools like this before, as previously I had my lobster shelled. But it was so much fun to get dirty.Ice-cream based desserts were the perfect finish to a lovely meal. At the ned, we received complimentary shots of lemon flavoured course meal for with bottle of wine and service we have paid which is an absolute bargain for the quality of food and service you'll receive in return.I love that little place and we just keep coming back for more.Buon apetito!"

"I went to Mill Hill Prezzo with my family and friends today, and honestly the experience I had was absolutely terrible! Firstly, we had to ask for a table, and we specifically wanted it outside. But when we asked for a table, the waiter said...that they couldn’t give us a time when the table will be available… then when they left, that’s when they asked if we’d like to sit inside. We couldn’t as we had two vulnerable people in our group with us who were at high risk of COVID. Then we specifically requested outside, and we just sat down ourselves. Secondly, we asked somebody to take our order, we had to physically inside and actually ask somebody to do this as it took them ages to come outside which to be honest, you shouldn’t have to do at a restaurant when they should come automatically! 10 minutes later, they still didn’t come, so I said to the waitress ‘excuse me’, politely and her response was in a shouty voice, ‘I’M COMING!’. I really didn’t like the tone of voice she’d used when she said that, and I wasn’t happy with at all! So our Garlic Breads came, we asked for side plates… and they didn’t give us any! We also asked for the heaters to be turned on, but we’re they working… they said no it wasn’t! So we had to share from the plate itself. Finally, our main courses came, and when we asked for Tabasco, they said rudely, ‘WE HAVEN’T GOT ANY!’. They didn’t even check if everything was okay… I felt like as if they weren’t bothered with us at all! When it came to taking our plates, nobody asked if everything was okay or nothing, as if they just didn’t even care. I am very upset and extremely angry by this service!"
