"I have eaten in so many Italian restaurants, my best friend is Italian and recently came with me to this place too. I have been here about 7-8 times over the past three years and every time they have gotten better and better. Every so often there will be a swing and a miss, I wouldn 't recommend the mushrooms on toast. But everything else, from the pizza to the moussaka to the sides, and starters, are just so homely, clearly made with love and made fresh. The staff are super friendly, sometimes a bit much, but it only makes you feel welcome. The service can be a tad slow on occasion, but then the environment is calm and relaxing and I can 't help but feel at ease here. The Italian restaurant across the road risoranto sorento have positive things to say about this place too and I am happy to go back. If you are happy to enjoy great portions, homely food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere, I recommend this place. I 'm going again tonight for my dad 's birthday :"

"Oh my god, it was a year ago when we visited last. The food then was brilliant, but this surpassed every expectation. The sardines as a starter and the garlic and chilli prawns which we kind of shared were outstanding, I had the veal as my main with black olives and capers in a rich sauce, I’m still dreaming of it, the other half had the seafood pasta, he wouldn’t give me a taste as he hugged his bowl with a broad grin on his face, so took that to be a hit. Dessert I had the lightest tiramisu ever, he had I don’t know what, he wouldn’t tell me, but it was so delicious, he admitted in the car on the way home he had just taken a stab at the desert menu as had forgotten his glasses, but I’m glad he did."

"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."

"Lovely staff, we were well looked after. Amazing food, Tigelle were amazing, the meat platter as well which included a superb Parma Ham, felino salami and mortadella. We were really impressed of the atmosphere, we asked for a specific table and they provided us one. I really recommend and I look forward to coming again."

"Honestly, I must start off by saying how impressed I was with the quality of the vegetarian Chilli Freak pizza we ordered. It was arguably perfectly done with a delicious crust and tantalisingly good amounts of spice and heat — it’s just a shame with...what came before it. During a time of scrutiny where hygiene measures should be paramount within the food industry and takeaway kitchens, we were hugely disappointed to see staff at work not abiding by these guidelines, not wearing masks, beard nets, gloves and, terribly, handling meat without washing their hands before spreading vegetarian toppings. This is very, very poor and something I will write to Papa John’s directly about because (as pictured) zero attention or care is seemingly given to their customers behind the scenes. Not even wearing disposable gloves or masks with being so prevalent is something I find deeply unsettling. It’s therefore challenging for me to award Papa John’s in Brentwood anything more than two star. We also must address the costs of food on their menu. For solely a large pizza, you can be paying nearly GBP which is exorbitant! There is a distinct lack of friendly customer service and I imagine waiting times can be fairly long when the place is busy. So, all in all, whilst the pizza might have been delectable and makes formidable opposition when compared to a Pizza Hut order, behind the scenes there really is a great deal of work seemingly to be done. Quite dire hygiene it appears."

"We managed to get a last minute booking which surprised us, given that it was a Friday evening in the west end. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and given a nice table by the window. We ordered wine which was decanted at the table by our waitress Valentina. We chose mussels to start followed by pizza and sergios cod provencal along with a tomato and onion salad which they kindly prepared despite not being on the menu, (not always easy to achieve in many other restaurants) The mussels were tiny and many of the shells were empty, however the marinara sauce was tasty. The pizza, quattro formaggi was incredibly salty and doughy. The cod dish was bland and in our opinion the fish was undercooked. We were hungry so ate what we could. But left a considerable amount of food untouched. When the waitress came to clear she could obviously see that we had not enjoyed the food and asked how it was. She was also surprised that no-one had come to do a quality check. She said she would go and speak to the manager, which she did. After we paid and made to leave the manager then approached and offered us a limoncello which we declined. Sadly we were disappointed and despite there being many celebrity photographs adorning the walls, we found the experience underwhelming."

"We were in London for almost 2 weeks and got takeout or dine in several times because this restaurant was 1) super tasty; 2) had great service; and, most importantly, 3) a terrific allergy program with fantastic gluten free food. The first question you get when you walk in is do you have any allergies? If so, they send you their allergy manager, who explains how to filter their online menu and order appropriately. We went to several of this chain in the UK and they were all like this! Each time I did takeout, the food was ready either right when I showed up or shortly thereafter. It was always hot and good and I was helped right away. Highly recommend!"

"I stayed here during my 2023 John O'Groats to Lands End ride, when I was accompanied by my wife and 13 year old son, who were acting as support crew. The Sun Hotel is a quirky boutique hotel housed in an historic building with extensive accommodation located above the pub and accessed via a unique flight of stairs and a labyrinth of intriguing corridors set out on different floors. Indeed, as you wander through, you are able to learn much about its character and history from many informative notes displayed on the walls. We shared a snug family room with a camp bed for our son but we were very comfortable. Our ensuite bathroom was clean and bright with a bath, shower and toiletries provided. The usual kettle, tea and coffee were provided but with limited alternative options. Make sure you turn off the provided digital alarm clock before slumbers unless you need an early start! There are truly are some larks out there. The room was a little noisy overnight where it was overlooking the street at the front – a combination of late night revellers and morning deliveries – but this is to be expected when you stay in the heart of a city. Lancaster was literally right on our doorstep. The staff were incredibly welcoming and approachable even before our stay responding promptly to any queries we had. We enjoyed dinner in the pub on the ground floor which was not overly noisy with a good atmosphere and attentive staff. The food was good and inexpensive, especially if you share a platter. Having booked direct with the hotel, our stay included breakfast from a set menu, served in the bar area downstairs. This was extensive ranging from the traditional cooked full English breakfast to many plant based and fruit alternatives, including pancakes, acai smoothie and granola jar. It is advisable to pre book this the night before to reduce waiting times in the morning if you are in a rush. Tea, coffee and fruit juice freely available The hotel is found on a complicated one way system with heavy traffic but well handled by Google. The cycle route approaches on quiet canal path but I did push up a one way street to the hotel rather than cycle a circuitous route around the one way. The only drawback is that there is no onsite parking not a problem if you only have a bike. At the time of our stay, there was paid street parking outside the hotel on the road for up to 1 hr or free overnight from 6 pm until 8 am. We would advise checking Google for parking locations beforehand to find alternatives, especially if the recommended nearby multi storey parking is not suitable because of a roof box, etc. My bike was locked away in a cellar inside, down a steep flight of stairs and only accessible by staff."

"As an inveterate food blogger I go out a lot. It’s easy to feel blasé about some invitations, another pizza place, a hotel restaurant focussing on seasonality and locality… but when you get the call to an event at Theo Randall’s refurbished eponymous restaurant in the Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane you sit up and take notice. Quite simply he is the best chef serving Italian food in London today and a decent chap to boot. He was known for running the kitchen at The legendary River Café and then ten years ago took the opportunity to open his own space within the Intercontinental Hotel. Theo told me he felt that the previous look had been a bit too corporate (although I loved...read more"

"This place must be one of the best spots in the city for enjoying a piece of cake or a meal. I first visited Princi in Soho about 6 years ago and have been coming back at least every 2 weeks for their delicious cakes. The atmosphere is beautiful, providing a peaceful escape from the busy bustle of the city while also allowing for people-watching."

"We came early for a pre concert meal. The staff were welcoming and the restaurant has was already quite busy. We ordered a glass of house wine of good quality a main dish, side salad and desert. We both chose the fresh=made ravioli with crab meat with a lobster bisque sauce, which was delicious, along with a very fresh mozzarella/tomato salad. A shared ice cream desert rounded off a very enjoyable meal. Service was professional and friendly. Highly recommended."

"Listen. If this gaff was in NY and you were on holiday there and stumbled across it on some intrepid manoeuvre to Queens or Brooklyn, you 'd be raving to all and sundry about this place you found in Brooklyn or Queens that nobody else had ever heard about and was one of the best kept secrets in NY. Well you 're not on holiday in NY. But you live in London. And Hammersmith isn 't intrepid like Plaistow or some Godforsaken place. It 's fairly central and packed full of great places to eat. In fact, in this one 200m stretch of the wide pavemented bit of King St W6 I 'd say there are five very good restaurants, plus a couple of more dodgy additions. And a Pizza Hut. So competition for the local Hammersmith groat is fierce. L 'Amarosa is the place you rave about because you think you 've discovered it. Seductively lit, all mahogany, mezzanine floor and wine glasses that ting. Even the typography is seductive. This is what you want a proper Italian to be. Flowers on every table. Art on the walls that isn 't a blight on your evening. Friendly relaxed service that makes you feel like you 're the only ones there when in fact they are often full and never mob handed when it comes to staff. Le Gavroche this ain 't. But I defy the aforementioned to whip up a plate of pasta as moreish and satisfying. The owners cook and serve. And you feel the love with every plate. Excellent small local places like this can 't exist without that love. It 's too much hard work. But the chef loves his pasta, you can tell. And the maitre 'd loves serving it, you can tell. The true sign of a good Italian is one where have never heard of the pasta on offer. Fact. I suspect the good places make up the names just for people like me. Toofie. Pacceri. I ask just in case it 's not pasta at all. It 's all explained gleefully. The menu is small. Another good sign as far as I 'm concerned. Three dishes in the pasta section, plus a few in the char grilled section and some nicely put together starters. Courgette with Romesco sauce was pretty and tasty. The aubergine and tomato tortelloni had punch. The white chocolate pannacotta a delightfully elegant way to finish. But by the time you go the menu will have changed. What won 't have changed is the love. It 's an 'order two bottles and settle in ' kind of place from which, if you 're in a window seat, you can plot future meals at Potli or Saigon Saigon directly opposite. But the night will always belong to L 'Amarosa, a place Hammersmith people will want to keep secret but absolutely worth the trek if you 're from the wrong side of the tracks. A seductive, elegant reward for your intrepidness."

"Recently went to Fabio’s for our work Christmas lunch. There was over 30 of us with majority having 3 courses. Staff went above and beyond, all food was served hot with no error on orders etc. Everything was delicious! They also provided us with a private space for our team meeting too! Every staff member thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. We’re hoping they’ll have us back next year. 10/10 would recommend.

"Ordered the bbq pulled pork with cheese and parsley over chips. On receiving the food there was no bbq sauce,no cheese no parsley. Just plain pork and chips together. The dough strips was ment to be served with 3 sauces and only received 2 and the dough was extremely chewy. The bbq pulled pork pizza was plain and no taste,if there was a slither of sauce on the pork it was not noticed. Only recieved a refund of £12 and the order was £33. How u can miss the main ingredients on food is shocking as was a qualified chef the person wasn't obviously that bothered about the food they was serving out to people Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 Food: 1 Service: 1"

"While the food and drinks were generally ok, unfortunately the service wasn’t. We were waiting for a long time despite there being hardly anyone in the restaurant. The staff brought a main meal our with the starters we were flexible and accepted it but with no thanks or apology. The staff just weren’t very proactive for example we had to ask for more drinks, after waiting a good 15 mins with empty glasses. And to top it all off, the female manager with silly pink hair seemed to have a massive chip on her shoulder. It was our friends birthday and I had made them their favourite cheesecake. I asked them if they could provide some plates for us to eat it after our meal, but she rudely proclaimed that they couldn’t do it for cross contamination, but we didn’t ask them to take it to the kitchen we would’ve quite happily cut it ourselves at the table. Ok fair enough if that’s the policy for people to not bring their own desserts in I get it, they are a business but just be honest about it, and be nice about it! There was no need for her attitude, and it completely ruined our friends birthday celebration. Not that she would be the type of person who cared anyway. Unfortunately, because of the manager, we won’t be back!"
"Very proffesional yet kind service, delicious food and the dishes were served in such a way that it never was too rushed or making us impatient. There also was live music pianosinging which was beautiful and very nice for the mood. : Worth it's price"

"Just want to take a minute to say thank you for contributing so brilliantly to my sisters hen do. A party of 11, 10 pre-orders and the hen who chose when she arrived. We had a mixture of starters and mains and mains and puddings. None of us had been to your restaurant before and I think it’s fair to say most of us can’t wait to come back; I know that’s definitely where I stand on that one! Your staff were attentive but not on top of us, we weren’t rushed and it was very relaxed. As for the food...WOW! Trying to explain to my husband just how amazing it was is hard! It was delicious. Best meal I’ve had out in Bedford for a long time. Thank you again and see you soon."

"Best food in Guildford! My go to restaurant to celebrate with friends and family. Great atmosphere with delicious food! The pizza and pasta are the real thing! My favourite is the Siciliana pizza (tomato, capers, anchovy and garlic) in the picture I asked for cheese to be added. I usually go for the homemade tiramisu and sometimes the cheesecake. Had most of the pastas, always tastes fresh and packed with flavour. Never disappointed with food or service, best restaurant hands down!"
