"My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Ferrari last night. The employee who welcomed us, although they could not find our booking, was very happy to find us a table. A waiting staff immediately came to our table and offered us water until we make our decisions. Soon after another employee came and took our order and drinks and food came at reasonable intervals. All staff were helpful, friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. Will be visited again."

"Our group of 5 visited Cafe Venice for the first time after attending an England rugby match at Twickenham Stadium. It's a 20-minute walk from there, so not much different than a venue in Twickenham town center. I made a telephone booking about 10 days before our visit and clarified that on rugby days, they offer a restricted menu at lunchtime but a full menu in the evenings. Note that there is a good specials menu in addition to the extensive menu on the website. We had booked for 6:30 pm, and the restaurant was busy with many other customers who had also been to the rugby match. We received a warm welcome, and the service throughout was friendly and efficient. For starters, we had dough balls, mushrooms, mussels, calamari, and whitebait. For mains, we had carbonara, calzone, and sea bass fillets, all served with salad or chips. The portions were generous and very tasty, and the food and wine were reasonably priced. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Cafe Venice and will definitely be returning."

"Really good place for food, ambiance was wonderful, nice chilled out area and fairly spaced apart from other diners. Service could have been a lot better, we waited a whole hour after ordering for our bread and oil starter which is a ridiculously long amount of time. We were starving by this point. But the rest of the meal was good"

"Visited Carlo’s many times, recently it has gone downhill. Service extremely slow on a lunch break waited for 35 minutes for four dishes and restaurant was not even busy! Drinks served warm in a warm glass. I had the seafood risotto the risotto was hard and the sauce was watery and the prawns were translucent. Other people in my party also had inedible meals. The prices seem to have drastically increased £17 for lunch is very over priced for the area especially with the low standards provided."

"First time with the Italian cuisine so we had no idea with the menu. Lovely and kind stuff! Stuff explained menu well. I asked for halal options and only chicken and seafood are their halal options. I asked for recommendation and she guided us well. Even explained what is red sauce, white sauce… Even basics~ She was kind and helpful. She suggested her favourite starters as marinated olives, focaccia olive oil, bread. Delicious! I can even go there just for their olives! Our glasses were never emptied because she always poured our water gently~ This was lovely. I had chicken milanese and my sis had linguine vongole. Chicken was delicious but I REALLY had hard time with cutting. Wasn’t juicy enough and hard to cut. Not sure if those knives were enough to cut it but my arm got tired of trying to cut, seriously Pasta was 10/10 no doubts. I had %50 discount coupon from TheFork Festival but they forgot to apply it even though I reminded them very beginning of the night. But they fixed so quickly so no problem at all~ But it is important to being careful and attentive. Definitely visit one more time for their pastas! Restaurant aesthetics so authentic and full of italian culture"

"The food was good but the service was poor from one member of staff. Our order was taken professionally by a young lady with a dark pony tail (no problem with this lady). We had ordered tap water which did not appear so I collected a jug myself. We had also ordered olives and bread to share between 4 of us. The olives arrived promptly but with no bread. After a further 10 minutes I went to the counter and asked the other lady with fair hair about the bread. She just curtly replied “Yes” with no apology. She eventually sauntered over to the kitchen area to get It. We then realised we needed small plates to dip our bread into the oil and balsamic vinegar. When requested these were casually served in an abrupt manner. The restaurant was very quiet so there was no excuse for this. Our main courses were served politely by a bearded gentleman. It was just the one lady who spoilt our lunch. Maybe there is a language problem."

"This is the second time here, and again a very good meal served by excellent staff. The first time was a few months back we had steak and chips was great and that prompted the 2 of us to book for our family meal for 6 on Sunday. Koftas to start for a few, and Whitebait for another, whilst i had Halloumi. Means was a mixture of Roast Turkey (and when they say all the trimmings they mean it, the best Yorkshire by far, Pigs in Blankets and Carrot Mash, Red Cabbage and Sprouts), Roast Beef for a few others whilst i had Pork Belly, Mash and Red Cabbage. For deserts we had Christmas Pudding and some had Raspberry Brulee Some lager, and Real Ale and all in all a well spent £163.90 Certainly would eat here (more) regularly bar the fact that it is just about 2 hours drive.. But, many thanks we had a great meal"

"Usually love Firebird, but booked to go for some dinner with a friend prior to a gig in Kelvingrove Bandstand. Took over an hour to get our food resulting in us having to rush it down to make the gig in time , drinks and sides orders got mixed up. Staff didn't communicate with each other so a lot of confusion over our orders. They were obviously very busy but they should have staff numbers/kitchen to cover bookings. Staff tried their best but it just wasn't up to scratch and very disappointing. Also never mentioned that their card machine wasn't working, so as we were rushing out to our gig, we were informed we would have to go out to cash machine to get cash and return in order to pay, which caused further delay. Probably just a bad night but not good enough when Id recommended it as ideal spot for a quick bite to eat."

"Reminiscing about the great time we had at this place last night! We spent the weekend in Bedford visiting relatives and decided to book this place, because we’re big pizza fiends and the reviews meant it made sense! Have not stopped thinking about the food all day! If you’re lucky enough to know what a proper Neapolitan pizza tastes like and have been chasing the dream of tasting it again… look no further! If you haven’t been to Naples before, then this place takes you there and back in one evening! This is hands down the best pizza outside of Naples! In fact I would go as far as to say that it could easily hold its own amongst the 100s of pizzerias in its birth City! The restaurant itself is casually quirky… named after the owner’s mother, with photos to couple that offer a little glimpse into the owners background with Italian memorabilia for days… including a real vesper hanging on a shelf from the ceiling, you’re hit with the scent of the wood fired oven as soon as you walk through the doors letting you know instantly that you’re in for a treat… the real deal! The relaxed, but upbeat vibe coupled with the warm and attentive welcome and service from the owner and the staff meant it was only fair to start with a round of Aperol Spritzes, which was followed by a number of bottles of delicious Primitivo throughout the meal that ultimately led to some singing and dancing at the end of our meal! We allowed the owner to recommend lots of things off the menu to share and boy did he not disappoint! Everything from pizzas, to pizza rolls to bruschetta meant that we were all able to try the classic Neapolitan pizza base with various different flavours! Highly recommend trying the Pizza Tartufo if you like truffle! I’m Italian and visit Naples most years and the pizza base is up there with the best I’ve tried! Hats off to the pizzaiolas as mastering this culinary delight is not easy! The pork meatballs in tomato sauce and oven roasted cracked pepper and salty ribs were delicious! But aside from the extremely high quality of the pizzas it was a bowl full of cheese and charcuterie that stole the show! Imagine a huge ball of creamy burrata that when cut open released loads of tiny balls of morzarella! It was truly next level! I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it! We finished with a round of espressos and some traditional Italian pastries, which were out of this world! We had such a lovely evening from the food to the wine, service to the vibe it really was exceptional! The only thing I wasn’t happy about was leaving, knowing that this restaurant isn’t on my doorstep! The only saving grace is the avoided damage it would do to my waistline if it was, as I would be here every weekend! Cannot wait to go back!"

"I can find working in the city a bit souless at times, especially when it comes to restaurants. There are a couple of great ones (for example City Social, Duck and Waffle and Goodmans) but they are definitely on the treat yo’self list, unless work is paying! I personally think there is a lack of interesting places to venture to for lunch. That’s why I’m happy I have L’Anima Cafe just within reach of my office. Being based at Bank it’s a good 15 minute walk, but oh so worth it. L’Anima Cafe is the sister to the award winning L’Anima just around the corner. This is a more informal setting with all day dining and great for after-work drinks. There’s also a deli for food-to-go. I’ve eaten here only twice but I hope I make many more visits. On my first visit I had a terrific lamb ragu: a rich, deep and salty ragu over parpadelle. I have thought about it many times since! This time we shared a couple of starters: an artichoke, asparagus and anchovy salad with pecorino shavings and a simple tomato, basil and garlic bruschetta. The salad was light and fresh with the moorish saltiness from the anchovy, a really wonderful dish. The tomatoes were seasoned perfectly on the bruschetta, however a couple of pieces came out a bit burnt as you can see, so we ended up eating the tomatoes but leaving the bread on those pieces. There was a veal ragu on the menu this time which I did contemplate ordering but thought I should change it up a little. There were some great fish dishes but in the end I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole: clams with garlic, chilli, parsley and white wine. This is one of my favourite pasta dishes and it did not disappoint! The al dente spaghetti with the soft salty clams and a slight kick from the chilli was wonderful. The parsley in there keeping it nice and fresh. Oh, I wish I was eating a plate of it now! Another pasta dish was also ordered, the fettuccine primavera. This entailed saffron, broad beans, peas asparagus and courgette flower. I had a taste of this too and it tasted garden-fresh, if that makes sense, really clean and light. A lovely dish. My other colleague wanted to order something different to us; the daily special of sole was decided upon. It was humungous! It came served with slices of crisp potatoes and cherry tomatoes. Oh my god, the flavour in the fish was incredible and so juicy too. We struggled to finish it all. All in all a great meal. Just two small points, the staff can be a little slow and also, last time we ordered the broccoli pizza and it was pretty bland. So I would avoid their pizzas. But everything I’ve ever ordered has been very good and rather beautiful too. It is very much full of suits mid-week but I imagine there is a different vibe in the evening and at weekends as it pretty much on the boarder between the city and Shoreditch (it’s right by the Queen of Hoxton). One day soon I hope to try L’Anima next door. But in the mean time this is the place to go for great Italian food!"

"Fantastic service, scrummy food and the personal touch. We visited on 13 February and we’re seated at the rear of the restaurant. The greeter was super friendly and really welcomed us nicely. The food and drinks were gorgeous as normal, esp the Peroni reserve and the ginger and blackberry sparkle. We usually choose food to share and we had a couple of starters and mains between us. The server really added the personal touch by requesting that the pizza be split between two plates so we could just enjoy without juggling things around. Paying special attention like that makes all the difference we never asked for that but little touches really do delight customers. Thank you pizza express for going the extra mile you probably didn’t even think twice about it but it left a really positive memory for us. We had: mushroom arancini and chillichurri dough balls, duo (half and half) pizza (fungi and spicy chicken) and pollo pesto pasta. All absolutely delicious."

"Last night was my friend’s birthday and she was opening her gifts. This happened between 10-11pm. One of the lady staff suddenly told us off, like she was thinking maybe we were doing something wrong. We told her we were just opening gifts and to keep things light, we made a joke about the pub giving free shots because it’s our friend’s birthday, but the woman was unamused, telling us to buy her shots instead and walked away. We didn’t like her tone. We just let it pass, but that remark could’ve potentially ruin an otherwise happy night out with friends. Our group was so polite ordering drinks and saying thank you, why did she have to judge us so quickly and give us this attitude?"

"Ordered x2 toasted Ciabatta sandwiches x1 Aubergine Crispy Artichoke x1 Prosciutto Ham Cheese . The Ciabatta was stale, the Aubergine came without any artichoke, and neither came with their accompanying side salad garnish. They also have the cheek to add a 10% service charge automatically . After complaining, we were given a partial discount but, they gave a full refund onto my debit card and then took the new, reduced payment again. The refund is not immediate, so I've now paid for sub-standard food twice until I get my refund in 3-5 working days ..... be wary!"

"Decided to eat here on a Friday night and made a last minute booking table for 2 people. We ate in the main restaurant. Arrived early expecting to have a drink in the bar as it seemed busy, but the member of staff made our table ready for us. He was very welcoming and, having never visited before, we were really impressed by the atmosphere and decor. And the size! It's like a Tardis. We had arancini to start amazing. I could have eaten this as a main, too. My husband had a pizza, which he enjoyed very much. I had chicken and potatoes. I'm not a fan of chicken on the bone but this was wonderful. For me, the best part of the meal with the tiramisu for dessert. My husband enjoyed an espresso (he'd nicked on of my arancini so was stuffed). Wonderful food. Staff were incredibly on the ball and drinks were brought out very quickly. Difficult to find the balance between speed and pushiness, the every member of staff who served us managed to do so. The only thing I would say is that I don't appreciate having a service charge added to my bill for two people dining. Whilst I generally do tip, I prefer this to be at my own discretion. On this occasion, the server removed it in advance because she had forgotten to add a side dish to our order. I honestly didn't care as I wouldn't have managed it so we tipped, but that was our choice. Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Can't wait to return."

"Il Tetto is a fun place to have a post-Christmas shopping meal it is located at the top of Selfridges but it has its heart in a festive ski cabin. Unfortunately the food doesn't quite live up to the surroundings I suspect you are paying more for the location than the food itself. On the night of our visit, the pizzas and pastas weren't available which meant that only the most expensive options were available. I'm sure that this was due to no fault of theirs but mentioning this to diners prior to seating them might have been a courtesy (I had to ask our waitress why the majority of the menu wasn't available). Also another bugbear: mixed drinks orders will automatically be served as a double (it'd be nice to be asked before being charged above the going rate for a G&T)."

"I felt it was very expensive and overpriced for the quality of the food. Service was good but I felt I was in the middle off a staff training day. Food was as if the chef had popped to the local supermarket and bought a frozen seafood mix and cooked some pasta. Not the fresh Italian I was expecting based on the reviews and price.

"The restaurant offers a vegan roast with all the traditional sides, with the option for extra sides at no additional cost. They also have a variety of pizza, pasta, and other main courses to choose from. While the roast may not be the best, it is still decent (although the roast potatoes could use improvement). Prices are a bit on the higher side, especially for drinks and dessert. The atmosphere is lively, especially during Sunday lunch with many families dining together. In the evenings, it seems to be more popular for friends meeting for drinks at the bar."

"HoneyHill is a wonderful place to stop, relax, eat and drink with family and friends. The garlic bread and pizza’s are amazing, truly authentic, the most wonderful crispy base. We sampled a couple of the cocktails and I loved the Negroni. The owners have obviously worked hard to make HoneyHill a warm inviting place that offers great food at a great price. We would highly recommend. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50"
"I visited this restaurant for a late lunch and was impressed by the amazing food and attentive, friendly staff. My only critique is that the menu choices seemed a bit limited across different food groups. While the pasta and pizza were delicious, they didn't fully represent the flavors of Italy that this place is clearly capable of offering. I believe adding more options for meat, fish, sides, and sauces would make this restaurant a must-visit for foodies. Overall, it's a great place to dine with reasonable prices. There is a large carpark available at Waitrose Meadow Walk for convenient parking. Walk through the carpark to reach the restaurant."
