"Lisa’s is one of those inconspicuous slightly hidden restaurant gems where nothing on the menu seems over the top, yet every dish is done with love, care and attention to finshing details. And if you’re lucky enough to come in the live music evenings, you’re in for a treat. Probably the most endearing place in Portobello Road."

"was absolutely beautiful, although we did not book in advance, they could get us a table and my mother enjoyed everything and the young lady who was our waitress so professional and her accent let us think we were in italia. many thanks for the good time there (translated by google) fue absoluteamente encantador, a pesar de que no habíamos reservado con anticipación, lograron conseguirnos una mesa y mi madre disfrutó de todo, y la joven que era nuestra camarera fue muy profesional y su acento nos"

"Visited for dinner with my wife on Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy which was reassuring. This place is not cheap especially for zone 3 south London! so my expectations are high. We went for a 2 course set menu £26.50 and shared a bottle of Prosecco £25 . For starters we both had the homemade tagilitelle with beef ragu... Soooo dry and bland, neither of us finished. There was also no offer of cheese or black pepper maybe Covid but can’t see why? . Mains came out pretty soon after but were sadly both also pretty unexceptional, duck breast cold with some veg and chips had to pay extra £4 for these and wife had a fish dish she didn’t enjoy and again had to pay an extra £4 for a side dish to make it an actual meal. After a pretty disappointing dinner we ordered the bill And coffee, which took 25 minutes and three requests to arrive !! . What frustrated me the most was the automated iPad style payment tablet, which suggest a number of service charge options which start at 15% going up to 25%.... Of course you can adjust this but to suggest that your local customers should consider no less than a 15% tip is quite insulting in my opinion especially for me who had to wait almost half an hour for the privilege of paying . Two course meal for 2 with wine and service a generously edited 12% was £103. Worth it? Definitely not."

"richmond is one of the most beautiful places to live in london with its green parks and gardens that run themes through them, take one away to the center of london, the other south direction hampton court palace and beyond. it is easy to find nature and beauty and good place to foot; it is not so easy to find a simple, cozy place to meet with a friend for a bit of dinner and a long chat. richmond is full of chains: côte, Carluccio’s, pizza express, byron and even the higher ivy cafe; they all have a place in a foodie world, but their unavoidable equality, while they let know what they can expect can be a little boring. liz and I often choose the wonderful...read more"

"I have never before had a problem with reservations placed on opentable but this restaurant refused to honor my reservation because they claim they do not honor reservations placed less than hours in advance in my opinion they should then close off the ability to make reservations because that goes against the entire purpose of using the app we specifically went to this restaurant because we were able to confirm a reservation there we would have gone somewhere else had we known they would not honor the reservation. When we were finally seated (over minutes after our reservation time) when we tried to order they were out of almost everything no steak, no pork, really only pizza. Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Overall horrible experience, which is unfortunate as I have greatly enjoyed dining at other La Tagliatella locations in Spain"

"We had a fantastic evening before Christmas decided to go back but how I wish we hadn't. The restaurant was relatively quiet as you would expect on a Wednesday evening but we were hidden out the way behind a column it felt as if it was too much hassle for the waitress to come round the corner to serve us in a personal manner. Menus were pushed on to the corner of the table the same with dessert spoons. The waitress comments were also unnecessary not funny, just because we ordered the same main meal she wouldn't let it drop all evening. The food was ok but nothing special, the lemon meringue pie wasn't good the salad had the dressing on it already it was drenched. The toilet downstairs always smells unpleasant which is not great if you're sitting close by. I have to say there is enough competition in the surrounding areas that we won't be returning, sadly another customer lost."

"I would recommend staying away from this chain restaurant. The food does not resemble authentic Italian cuisine and the ingredients do not seem to be fresh, tasting as though they were frozen. It seems that many dishes are pre-made at a central kitchen. They do clearly mark allergy triggers for those with dietary restrictions. The service is satisfactory for dining in for dinner, with an average price of £30-40 per person. I cannot confirm the options for vegetarians, as I am unsure. However, vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled on the menu. The restaurant offers plenty of parking with a free parking lot."

"Randomly decided to have lunch here. Previously, always walk by and never thought of twice to stop for a meal. Glad we stopped and they had a table available. Love the interior decor. Option on nice big window seating or you can site further in away from the natural light for a more cozier atmosphere. Waiting service is excellent no issues and friendly. A few dietery and gluten free options available which always a plus. Prices are great and the food was very tasty and perfectly seasoned for my taste buds. Manager was very polite and personable. For a traditional French and English meal and good service with out spending too much I would highly recommend. Will visit again to try out more of their cruises."

"Sizlers is a great place esp as it is local to us and within walking distance. It's small and unpretentious, and go out of their way to cater for my personal taste which is ULTRA spicy prawn linguini! Their menu is not enormous but has a good selection. Overall I love the place."

"We had a great night on Saturday, 19 of us celebrating my partners 50th. (Apologies to any of the other guests if they found us to be too loud ????). Given the size of the party we were asked to pre order, which wasn't an issue. We were meant to be a party of 20 but a last minute cancellation was no problem for them. Food was great, service was fabulous and would definitely recommend. Thank you for looking after us ????"

"steady. carluccio in smithfield is like a back-up, a reasonable alternative for me when I close to smithfield or comptoir gascon and they are full for a woken breakfast / brunch. this is a quite common hesitation, as sos cg slide the scale higher and are more desirable due to the trendy, more prosperous masses that are more frequent this part of the city. but we should not think less of the local carluccio. it has been shown to Italian cafe food of a steady quality. yes, the deli items in front of the shop are overpriced, but there is a focus on regional specialities, and it is a convenient holding point for mozzarella, ricotta, parma ham, dried porcini, risotto rice, tinted fish and saffron if they cannot find it elsewhere. the inner of this branch is light and airy, with high ceilings and a very relaxed feeling, making it ideal for a long brunch with friends and some wash papers. Coffee and baked are decent, the full breakfast is not bad for £8.50 that contains coffee juice, plus it grilled pancetta instead of fat speck. nice! it is also one of the rare places in london that makes bicerin. there are no pizzas here, but the pasta is again decent. I like the ricotta spinat ravioli served simply in sage butter. pasta here is actually cooked to al dente. I also like their thick, peasy pasta e fagioli (pasta beane) but not so sharp on their meek-watery mushroom soup. the menu changes with the season and there are daily specialties that are for a chain, is nice to see."

"london has such a full of options for any kitchen they can imagine that sometimes it is nice to rely on an old school classic. take Italian food. in the last weeks I wrote about three or four brand new Italian joints in london and yes, they were all good, but they know what was the most authentic and despite the most expensive, actually the best value for money. the most classic of them all franco’s in mayfair. a place where I went with my dad when he worked in the opposite and it seemed to hit the most obvious place. franco’s is 70 years old and oozes the classic from somewhere with this excavated, which in the iondon restaurant scene is only a few and far away...read more"

"A truly gluten free Italian restaurant in the heart of London seems too good to miss, and it was. Absolutely everything on the menu is gluten free, so there is no risk of cross contamination, and there is real depth of understanding of vegan and dairy free needs as well. It is a family run business and there is great sense of rapport amongst the staff, which spreads to their understanding of customer needs. Food is delicious, and served quickly (we had a vegan salad, canollini and ravioli all excellent) with quirky, healthy drinks (gluten free beer is also available, of course) and a superlative chocolate brownie to finish. Service is quick and efficient yet warm. It is a small cafe sized restaurant, so booking absolutely essential in the hour we were there they turned away at least ten potential groups because of lack of space. They could use twice the space, given the demand I saw. It is not suitable for customers with a severe nut allergy as they use a lot of nuts in their recipes. The only reason I hesitate to share a good review of this great find is that I want to be sure of a table next time!"

"would rate a 10/5 if I could! this place is amazing! I went with a few friends on holiday! there is a very domestic feeling, and they can say it is very authentic! the couple that ran the place were the only ones that were next to us when we went, but they did not encourage us or about our table waiting to order or finish us! I have to mention how amazing it was to eat! we ordered to start the roasted red pfeffer and goat cheese bruschetta, and all gobbed it down in 5 minutes! it was incredible! for dinner we ordered a bottle chianti, with the risotto with garnelen, and orichette with broccoli and speck! we have cleaned all our tellers! the best risotto I ever had! at the end they gave us free chocolate salami! that was something I never had! it was incredible! the prices are very reasonable, service was impeccable and the food was to die! will definitely come back when I go back to edinburg!"

"We visited this restaurant for my wife's birthday. Staff were friendly and helpful, the food was excellent. What ruined the night was the drunken customers who were sat behind us and decided to engage in a lively discussion with a man on the next table to us. This discussion became louder and louder before one of the drunken men knocked his food off the table onto the floor. In the end, the drunks decided to arm wrestle each other. None of the staff did anything to stop them so we decided to leave. We told reception why we were leaving. A nice evening ruined by drunken customers!"

"I got the Salmon with baby potatoes and I have to say that price-quality is good. On the other hand, service is not great the restaurant was busy and the staff did not how to work under pressure so they were really confused and service was too slow. Since we got the first starter until we got the main dish we had to wait for several minutes, one waiter offer us a free drink for the inconvenience(when we ordered the free drink the other waiter told us that “free drink” means only coffee or limoncello…so I got the limoncello that it was terrible. . Additionally, some glasses were dirty."

"After booking through OpenTable, I received a call to confirm my reservation. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was greeted by delightful smells and a great atmosphere. We were led to our table where we were informed about the specials and had our choice of wine and water brought to us. The staff, who were happy and friendly, went out of their way to accommodate a family group next to us who were ordering various dishes from the menu. We opted for the steak meal for two, which was cooked perfectly, and enjoyed a bottle of Rose. I highly recommend trying the Dianne Sauce with your steak. The dessert was also delicious and the attentive and cheerful staff were more than willing to cater to our every need. I will definitely be recommending this restaurant and will return next time I am in the area. Thank you for a wonderful evening."

"Next to us, a family group was enjoying their meals, ordering various dishes from the menu, and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble for the cheerful and accommodating staff. We decided to share the steak for two, which was cooked to perfection, and the bottle of rosé we ordered was exquisite. I highly recommend trying the Diane sauce with the steak; it was a perfect complement. For dessert, we were treated to another delicious creation, and once again, the friendly staff made sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely recommend this place, and we look forward to dining here again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful evening!"

"Me and my wife were on a walk to find a restaurant to have dinner, being from Luton we didn't know the best places in Inverness and we happened to stumble across little Italy. We walked in with no booking and was welcomed in, the staff were amazing the food was amazing, our whole experience was just the best I've had in a very long time in any restaurant. We are going back before we leave because how great it was.... I highly recommend this place and I'm fussy when it comes to food. A tip for tiramisu lovers- make sure you try it absolutely BANG ON!!!"
