"eating was okay, moderate. I had the vegan bruschetta as an appetizer and it was softened in oil and the brot was soggy. the plumomats, however, tasted good. for the main course I ordered the vegan pomodoro con bufala, and that was good. for dessert I had the vegan cookie dough Al-Forno with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce. the gelato was nice, but the keksteig was a bit fat. service was good and friendly. overall okay, but I wouldn't go there twice."

"Absolutely disgusting service and food. We were left for an hour at the bar and when we were asked to be seated the waitress said, “oh sorry I thought you were chatting” we knew this was a lie and when we made a complaint the chef came out to apologise because it was his fault. There was only “one chef” in the kitchen. This was also a lie. The chef showed us pictures of the ceiling collapsing from the bad rain from the night before. Surly they should have shut the kitchen!!! They gave us complimentary glasses of wine which then accumulated fruit flies in them!! My food was mediocre and my friend’s muscles was uncooked and had to be spat out. The manager did not give us anything complimentary/take anything off the bill for this horrible service and food. DO NOT EAT HERE."

"“This restaurant exceeds expectations! It has a cozy atmosphere, which I personally love. The hand-stretched pizzas are made fresh to order, and my favorite dish is the ravioli in white sauce.”"

"The meal was disappointing and rather pricey. The shared terrine was not very tasty and served with uninteresting 'salad ' and toast. 'ÂŁ8 for a mediocre dessert in a pub doesn 't seem good value either. Main courses were better with pink lamb but the fish was served with no starch side dish."

"Il Principe Oxford, England. Authentic as pizza can get, Il Principe is well known amongst the locals and it should be better known to visitors. To thank the babysitter one day, there was a group decision for having pizza for dinner (what else to share? well, maybe fish and chips.. but where to go? After some negotiation and discussion, it was agreed upon for Il Principe. I had a cold at the time, so I stayed at the home base. From what I heard, the waiter there had a very strong Italian accent. Between six people, five pizza were ordered; quattro formaggi, vesuvio, napoli, parma and pesto Genovese. All five of them were good, for differing reasons some to varying degrees. By authentic, these pizzas had a thin base with few ingredients spread in a single and sparse layer on the pizza. This way, there is focus on the quality of the ingredients as well as the different flavours which contrast and interact. After this way, ideally there would not be going back to the pizza chains. For a four cheese pizza, the quattro formaggi was surpringly not overbearing. It was hard to detect the different types of cheese used but it was quite lovely to taste the different flavours. It would have been helpful if the menu told what the cheeses were to attempt detecting them better but it was a decent one, if the weakest of the lot. The vesuvio was advertised as hot underwhelming in that regard. Otherwise not bad, with a guaranteed dynamic of pepperoni, mushroom and chili oil. Parma was the surprise of the night, with the subtle flavours of parma ham and rocket mixed with the sharpness of parmaesan cheese. It was one that improved a second time around. The pesto genovese was pretty good, if a bit on the sloppy side. Tastes and ingredients here range from distinct and acquired to a bit strange for a pizza but the combination works exceptionally well. Finally, the winner of the night is the traditional and tried true napoli anchovies, olives and capers. Three salty and strong ingredients very familar to Italian cuisine. Combining these with good cheese and tomato and you have yourself a bone fide classic of Italian restaurants. This time was no exception. These pizzas were exceptional. I await going here on time, and anticipate eating their food. It is certain that I wish for a return."

"we stopped at L’Osteria for lunch while we visit the city for a shopping trip. the personal and service were both excellent and the surrounding very modern and well maintained. we had a pizza and a pasta dish and both were really delicious the pizza must have been 14 and while thin crust it was a challenge. it was a little oily, but not too much and it didn't spoil the court, but it was a good job that I had not eaten 5 hours before otherwise I would never have finished it. that was our first meal in this chain and we were pleasantly surprised. good food, cheap and recommended in the center of city shops."

"This is such a friendly family run hotel/restaurant that it would be very difficult to find fault with it. I never have. Matt is such an innovative chef and he has such a light touch with spices so they are very flavoursome but not overpowering. I had the Sizzling Gambas, Nasi Goreng followed by the Berry Pavlova all of which were to die for. I keep threatening to break in an steal his recipes but I doubt I could do justice to them. I came here with 11 friends, all had different meals, but none of us were disatisfied or disappointed, in fact we had a great time. I would certainly recommend this venue to even the fussiest of people. I will certainly be back for more. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and Natalie is very accomodating."

"Went here randomly as the nearest place to where I met a business partner... and was blown away by the food quality and service. The staff were fantastic attentive and engaging, and clearly very experienced. The price seemed impossibly good for such high quality meals, with very decent portion sizes. The spicy chicken penne was amazing. The tomatoes tasted very real and the aroma reminded me of my Mediterranean heritage. The pizzas looked amazing too, freshly made on site from scratch, baked in view of the seating area, and a very good size considering the price and attention to detail. No silent adding of tips to the bill was the icing on the cake."

"I have never eaten at a better Italian restaurant than this one. The food is fresh and all made from scratch, including the pasta and ice cream. The flavors are amazing, and I have been a fan of this place for a long time. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. I had the Calamari and King Prawns Pizza, as well as the Chicken in Mushroom and Brandy Sauce, and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, making me feel like I am back in Italy. The decor is fresh and clean. I am definitely coming back."

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"

"I went with a group of people last night and we were waiting nearly minutes for our drinks to arrive, Then finally ordered our food and they took over an hour with that then they served us half cooked prawns which we did not realise until i ate one and had a funny taste in my mouth so we checked the others and they were part cooked and part raw which is abissmal i told them to take them away then they offered to cook more i said i do not want any more food from you as i didn't feel well then and hour later when everyone finished there main course the waiter who seemed non existent finally arrived to take pudding orders and tried offering me it when i told him i didn't feel well was ridiculous and that i wished to speak to the manager he arrived minutes later and tried telling me that the prawns were cooked so i told him to go get them and we can check again even after the waiter admitted they were not cooked and my whole cooked see they were not then he asked what he could do to help with the issue so i told him to remove all my food off the bill which he said he did but when it came to pay he had not taken anything off and even tried charging for a free bread dish which i asked for to try and settle my stomach so i spoke to the rude manager again to remove it all he then added a service charge and tried billing us for things we didn't have so they ruined my first night out in a month and made me very ill and just didn't care the service was the worst i have ever seen and i eat out rather a lot due to hours i work so to all members of the public do not go eat there unless you wish to be very ill and have a condescending manager try telling you that your wrong."

"I have eaten here twice and both times the food was very good and service friendly. Nice choice of flavours and textures represented. Veggie things, meaty things, comforting things, single cheeses, creative affogatos, great wines. It is obvious that each dish is made with love and care. Really authentic Puglian dishes in the brilliant setting of Briton Village in a cute cosy space. Very impressed. I'll be back!"

"Super disappointed with the cocktails. The bar itself is lovely, staff were super attentive, but the drinks themselves were pretty ordinary and not even very tasty. We had different cocktails between the of us and there wasn't one I would order again. Presentationally they were hit and miss too, and let's be honest, when you are paying for a drink you expect a bit of theatre. One basically looked like a glass of water with an ice cube in. Definitely won't be rushing back here. Bar snacks were great though"

"the service was incredibly slow not the fault of the staff, but there were not enough people on duty penny penny pinching by the administration that I suspect. the food was in order, but not deserved the price. the whole nice room had been hired to a private party so that table and ambiente were not nice. all in all, quite badly worth and not pleasant. the staff was very friendly, so I stress that it wasn't her fault."

"I've been here roughly or times and each visit has had a catastrophe. Once it was rude staff, once the lift was broken, a couple of times we were freezing cold and sadly every time there has been a big issue with the food for one or all of us. The most frequent problem has been cold food, then overcooked but generally it never seems to get it right enough for this to be the restaurant you want to return to which is dangerous in a shopping centre with so much choice. To be honest, I don't know how it has survived when better restaurants have come and gone."

"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!"

"Don Vito's is a lovely little Newcastle Italian restaurant situated upstairs at the bottom of Pilgrim Street. We visit as a family now and again for the meal deal of 2/3 courses for a set price. The food is good value for the meal deal...price. I get Potato skins for starter and Margherita pizza for main. The Potato skins are a bit too salty but other than that they are nice. The pizza is an authentic Italian style pizza. My other family members enjoy the Calzones. It is always very quiet whenever we have visited which is usually in the early evening during the week. There is something lacking in atmosphere of the restaurant, though I can't put my finger on exactly what. The black wooden dining chairs are also very uncomfortable, so I feel there are some improvements that could make the restaurant better."
