"Started off with drinks at the bar whilst waiting for our friends to turn up. These were good but it went downhill from there. We had already been advised the fryer wasn't working, so there were a few dishes we couldn't order but this was fine. Firstly they had run out of Sea Bass and also Tomatoes which I think is needed for quite a lot of italian dishes!!! Starters were OK and then the problems started. The main courses came out one plate at a time. So our food didn't go cold we said to each other to start rather than wait for all the dishes to arrive. The Vegatarian Lasagna never came out, to which when asked by a waitress of the Chef he simply shrugged his shoulders as if to say I don't know where it is. This was all some 2 hours after we had sat down for our meal. There were only a couple of tables left in the restaurant by the time our food came so it wasn't anyone elses!!! Lasagna arrived eventually when most of us had finished our food. We ordered some more wine and the White and Rose Pinot Grigio both came out at room temperature rather than chiled. We didn't get chance to put them in the chiller to cool was the response!!! We did get 25% off and our friend that had the lasagna had it taken from the bill but we won't be rushing to eat there in the future. There where lots of staff on duty and the restaurant was quiet by time we got our mains so not sure why there was such a problem."

"First order from this place, ordered via just eat but there are tons of reviews for everywhere there and they seem largely meaningless so leaving here. Ordered an 18 four cheese pizza on a garlic butter base with spinach on it as a paid extra for just under £20 with delivery. The plan was that since it 's 18 I 'd have it for dinner and a fair bit left over for the next morning. The pizza was done extremely well, I don 't know if they do all ingredient combinations this well but there were thicker creamy cheesy parts, a sprinkle of fairly strong parmesan, hint of garlic all around. There was a thin layer of the spinach all over the pizza kinda melted into it (not a thick watery blob of it as you can sometimes get). Due to all this I failed to follow the plan and finished the entire pizza over 2 hours or so with the classic just one more slice feeling getting too strong every 20 mins. Delivery wise, for reference I live 2 miles from the place it came in 45 mins, this was 10 mins less than estimated. There are some places that seem to be able to deliver within 20 30 mins, but to be honest making a proper 18 pizza and delivering it all within 45 mins is very reasonable if you think about it, and I could probably wait up to 70ish mins before considering it a negative. As long as the estimates are accurate, or if there is a delay I 'm notified about it and given the option to cancel that 's perfect. There are some places that can be 30 mins, even an hour later than estimated that don 't even notify you of this so you have to sit in and be available to open the door for 2 hours, this wasn 't that, and was quick so, perfect."

"Booked in here for Tuesday 24th April evening when the weather was rubbish and I had the holiday blues so didn 't want to cook and the added bonus of a Groupon voucher to use also swayed my decision. Parking isn 't great to start with and I 'd guiltily parked outside someones house down from the cinema entrance : We entered for them to address us quizzically and claim that even though I 'd called earlier to book us in with my Groupon voucher reference they had nothing in the diary.. We were seated anyway at a very small table squashed right up at the back we had to 'bump ' passed 3 other tables which I found quite rude to the people sat down. We had no sooner got our coats off picked the menu up then we were pounced on to take our drink order efficient maybe or just a bit too eager? We ordered a bottle of red wine anyway not the house which I thought was a bit steep for a basic wine! and it was brought quick as a flash they then expected us to be ready to order we had only been in the place 8 minutes! The waitress was sent back to us and we ordered the meat antipasti to start, followed by the Gnocchi for me Lasagna for the Mr. We were brought a bread basket when the wine was produced however the butter given was solid clearly not to be used!The bread was nice and fresh though. Again, i didn 't even get a sip of my wine before the food was placed in front of us had it been pre prepared sat waiting to be ordered? The starter platter was to feature ' A selection of Italian meats and cheeses served with artichokes, olives and homemade bread ' the only bread we had was from the initial bread basket and I wouldn 't call 2 olives a selection! The meat was good quality but we felt a tad disappointed overall. We then had to wait 15 minutes for our main! My Gnocchi was nice, if a little bit bland, so I needed to be a bit over generous with the seasoning myself it lacked a bit of bite to be honest but the portion size was good. My Mr didn 't have may complaints for the Lasagna other than it could do with a bit more meat! maybe just a man thing! While we were eating, the close proximity of the tables to each other caused a few 'moments ' with the waiters a full portion of chips lost down the back of a diners chair and a bottle of beer knocked off the table when his bum stuck out a bit much in squeezing passed! Not really what I want to watch when having my dinner. We asked for the bill and sat for nearly 10 mins before I got up and went to the counter to ask again they were in no rush to get it paid either so we took the bill to the counter and paid there. I can see a lot of people are impressed with this place and go back on a regular basis I 'm not won over after this visit however. the tables are too close together the service is either too eager or too laid back where is the happy medium the beer wine list is a bit pricey the menu descriptions are a bit over zealous or they need to actually deliver on the description the food lacked seasoning. From when I observed during our meal, they are not short of business and do a good student trade. I 'm not sure for the 'professional ' couple however they have the right service/food/price quality balance I would be looking for to go regularly."
