"Having last visited this restaurant as a child and having very fond memories of family evenings there I was delighted to return today and find the same owners still in place and the same brilliant food. The owner could not have been more welcoming and my 6 year old daughter, having been gifted a free ice lolly after enjoying a delicious bowl of authentic spaghetti carbonara, described the restaurant as “the best in the world”"

"I ate here for the first time for Sunday lunch I have to say, my meal was really lovely (sea bream with couscous). It's quite pricey but if it's really tasty, then I don't mind. We used to come here for drinks regularly on a Monday night to be entirely honest, we had very poor experience from quite a number of the staff, pretty rude bored, unfriendly attitude.....not all, there were two young ladies 1 young man, who were very good we told them so, because it was such a refreshing change. However, I have to say, the staff on Sunday were really nice friendly attentive (as it should be)..... hopefully this shows a general improvement that may well be reflected on Monday nights now (we don't ever go on a Monday night now though, as we switched venues). So, note to management, keep good service up there as a priority. Your food is really good but without great service, customers don't feel so inclined to come back... keep up the good work"

"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'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."

"Our paninis were good, the coffee was excellent, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We sat outside and I will tell you the garden is magical. You're on a patio covered by trees with figs and bunches of grapes growing all around. It's cool and fresh even on a hot day. Highly recommend."

"Booked for 2. Waiter asked for our order within 2 minutes of sitting down. Then came back to tell us the kitchen was closing early so we had to order then and there.. didn’t even get a chance to order drinks or read the menu. Ambiance was terrible, no one in there and morgue music. Ended up with some dry bread and oil. The best bit was the cold glass of the one drink we got. And to top it off had to pay service charge. Would not return or recommend to anyone. Says parking but is little to none."

"Although the restaurant itself was very nice and we could not fault the attentive service of the waiting staff, the food was OK but not overly hot. We only had a main meal each plus drinks and shared a dessert. What annoyed us was, while we could do nothing but accept the 12.5% service charge on the bill, when we paid the bill by cash, we were not given any change which we felt was very cheeky. This was not just a few pennies it was nearly £7. If the change had been returned we may have chosen to leave a tip, however for it not to be returned left us feeling rather aggrieved. It should not be assumed that paying by cash means keep the change, especially when a service charge has already been added. Having only booked this restaurant for its location to the theatre we were going to, it definitely was not the best meal we had during our stay in London and the experience was the one we were the most disappointed with. I might add, the waiter who took the money from us was not one that had been serving us prior to this, he just happened to be passing our table."

"better at the second time. I was in zizzi twice. the first time I left, I was at my house. I had the bruchetta al pomodoro £4.75) and my homemate had tiramisu £4.95) and it was okay, but the bruchetta was expensive, but not enough filling out and because my homemate didn't want to be any pornstars, I couldn't use my badge that let me buy a main meal and still one for £1. I enjoyed the second time because I went with a support worker and I could use my credit that gave us 2 main courses for £10. I had the rigatoni con pollo e funghi large pasta tubes with huh in a tomaten,- tweezers,- mushroom and rosemary sauce) during the support workers had the casareccia pollo picante macaroni-like pasta with huhn in a creamy chili, tomaten and spinat sauce). we enjoyed our meal and we saved £7.50 between us. because we arrived between 1 clock and 2 clock, the restaurant was quieter."

"The food was ok at best, which was very disappointing as we normally dine at the parent restaurant, Il Portico, which is excellent, so my girlfriend ordered the Spaghetti alle Vongole as she loved it the week prior at Il Portico thinking it would be the same and it was horrible. My Tagliatelle w/ wild boar ragu was ok. Then the server who was not helpful overall went on to spill my red wine on my shoes as well as the purse of the lady sitting next her who had it on the floor next to her table. He never apologized quickly cleaning up the floor and providing me a replacement glass of red filled exactly to the level it was when spilled (less than a third filled). We complained to the main waiter who told us the server was new and then the manager who honestly could not care less. We will never return and have told all our friends to avoid."

"we have eaten here before the pre-COVID and whether it is due to the situation, the menu is much restricted. my risotto was very nice, but my man said the fish and chips were average. I don't think we'll be harassing each other until the dings are normal again."

"it was the third time I visited the restaurant with my man. we were greeted by the same Romanian waiter who made his job at the highest level again. we are very satisfied with the services of the restaurant, but above all with this young one. who works there. we will definitely come back."

"on the arrival was our table not ready for the 5,30 booking we made. at the end of dinner we felt very hurry, there was a card on the table saying we could have the table on 8pm, but at 7.20 we were asked to leave the table. I don't have a problem because I know that it takes time to have the table ready for the next guests, but if we had to wait after 5,30 until our table is ready, he left an acid taste."

"I found the food to be fresh and of good quality at this restaurant. The service was good but basic, reflecting the current trend in Dublin where customer service may not be as friendly as in other places. I prefer servers who are friendly and engaging when I dine out. Unfortunately, we were not immediately offered drinks or informed about specials when we were seated, which I believe should be standard practice in the restaurant industry. The menu seems to be slightly overpriced, especially the salads, and the pizza is comparable in taste to Milanos but more expensive. However, the decor is nice and, most importantly, the food and wine were enjoyable. I would definitely visit again if in the area as I have a fondness for Italian cuisine."

"It has always been a treat to have lunch at The Red Lion, but I notice corners are being cut butter is not in little pots any more with the red lion logo on top. My artichoke soup was delicious and could not be faulted imaginative with olives and parmesan cheese; the chicken liver parfait was pleasant but a bit cloying and came with a large slab of toasted brioche just the one and two thinner piece would have been more delicate, plus there was a lack of sweet jelly or even a spring of watercress. They are good, but if they believe in themselves much more, they will become unbearable. I will go bak but I hope to see an improvement in attitude."

"Food was a mix of underwhelming just okay. We ordered the calamari (don’t recommend- flavourless didn’t taste fresh), mushroom arancini (these were good), and the vegetariana pizza( not bad but forgettable), broccolini side (good- probably the highlight) While the food was okay, service was pretty bad. They managed to mess up our order, which meant that our pizza and broccoli was either given to another table or cancelled and came out VERY delayed (they denied it and one of the severs was sassy about it)….. Don’t recommend this place"

"we were in don beni manly in winkfield and thought we would try eton. only I and my wife sat in the window, beautiful sitting. no starter, I ordered the sirloin steak, my wife pasta. my wife loved her pasta absolutely. I cut into my...Steak (as medium crossed) and was well done. I have the waiter over, I said, "I don't want to complain, but I'm sorry I asked about this medium," which shows him the steak. he replied, “Do you want me to cook it a little more?” at this point I knew I was in trouble. I said, "No thanks, you can show the cook and ask him what he thinks." at the place he goes away with the teller and shows the chef, a minute later returns and says: "the chef says that there should be no blood on a middle steak and that is how it should be". I'll let them be judges of these pictures, what a middle steak should be. it was gum, I ate it was hungry not want to argue and cause a fuss. I know I should probably."

"The front of the restaurant on Argyle Street may be understated, but the interior is quite pleasant with a conservative and classic decor that complements the menu and service well. The menu is extensive and features a great wine selection. The dishes are beautifully presented and well cooked, with a delightful mix of flavors and textures that evoked memories of dining in Florence. The service is attentive yet not intrusive, catering perfectly to my preference to focus solely on my companion. I highly recommend trying the steak Diane."

"an evening in the buon appetito brought me to italien and sat in a beautiful trattoria. the food was authentic and the specials brought a modern twist full of aromas that complement each other so well. fritto misto nice to share, escape with orange kaviar! , pizza margherita so simple and yet authentic tomatensauce and mozzarella and a very good attempt intiramisu. if the eating was not enough, the friendly staff, fast service and attention to the detail would convert each. to finish everything, the owner is so passionate and friendly they feel like they are transformed into “nonna’s” house and leave with a full mag full food, warm and dear xx"

"I visted prezzo oswestry the other night with my family, Service was great. It seemed very busy but I’m not suprised as it was a saturday night. I got greeted by what seemed to be the manager, he is very charming and probably one of the most attractive men ive seen in oswestry in a while! Tall dark and handsome. The girls i came across were lovely and made us feel very welcome I unfortunately did not get their names… the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time as it was busy but we were not fussed. We were handed the bill and we gave it a good read, it does state clearly in black and white that there is an optional service charge, as i was reading past reviews of people not knowing about this I’m a tad confused as to why when it literally states it at the bottom of the bill. Will definitely be back!"
