Myself and my husband won best outfit, which was a bonus, we wore the Italian aprons! We were the only ones to dress up! If you have never visited this venue before, love fabulous food served by friendly, helpful staff, this is a MUST. Thank you to everyone for a memorable night. See you all again soon."

"I visited Ask Italian with my family recently and left feeling unsatisfied. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food arrived quickly. However, the food was not as warm as we would have expected and the portions were average-sized. I know that this is an English chain restaurant, but the authenticity is not there. The food also seems overpriced across the board. Our experience was fine, however, we left still hungry. It is a shame, as we once loved this restaurant."

"Our 20 yr old student son was visiting Ipswich as part of an upcoming placement. He had to stay in a hotel for two nights on his own and eat out for dinner as nothing available in the hotel. He went to ASK at around 6.30pm and asked for a table … he was told they ‘already had too many’ despite all the empty tables and him being on his own. Very offhand and rude and made him feel very uncomfortable. On phoning afterwards we were told they were short staffed and having a difficult day. Nice of them to take it out on a young man on his own. Shameful behaviour! The reality is he was one person, it was early doors, and all he wanted was a warm meal after a long day. He wouldn’t have been taking a table up all night and making demands on the staff. If you happen to find yourself in a similar situation save yourself the trouble and just go to Prezzo. Or just go to Prezzo in any event."

"Hello, I came to Zizzis yesterday evening with my work colleagues as our Christmas meal. I called beforehand and the woman I spoke to was very helpful confirmed I could extend our booking from 8 to 12 people which I greatly appreciated. When we got there the booking could not be found, causing me stress with everyone else when in fact it was there all along and the person at the front didn’t look properly. Once we were seated we were given our waiter for the evening who unfortunately was not helpful in any way at all. We ordered two portions of olives, only one appeared. My friend ordered a meat pizza and when he came and bought it to her she asked for some extra pizza sauce to which he replied with it’s got meat on it, is that the meat you eat? (She was Indian and it just came across quite insensitive) I don’t think he smiled once during the entire 2 hours we were there He refused to engage with us, or ask if the meals were okay Trying to ask for more drinks made us feel bad as it appeared to be a very tiresome task for him to do his job Unfortunately I did not get his name as no one at Zizzis wore name badges last night. I was deeply disappointed in the service we had for our Christmas meal yesterday evening. I understand it was busy however it was a case of this one persons awful attitude that seemed to ruin our meal. Please contact me via email on [hidden email] to discuss further. Thanks Jeminie"

"my wife and I had booked an early dinner after I had been sitting on the promenade to work on our appetites. we ate in a small room with capacity for only 10 diners on 5 tables. we jumped on appetizers and my wife went for the special prawns alla busara. we had previously reported the restaurant when booking that my wife was allergic to paprika. we have told our server again, who checked with the kitchen to ask if the dish should be prepared without a pfeffer. that was confirmed. when their meal was delivered, there were evidence for the outgoing vegetables. the apologetic server took the court back to the kitchen and the cook told her that he had added pfeffer to the court. (When I checked, I thought it tasted more like a red chili.) another dish came remarkably fast. Even without paprika, we both felt that the dish was unnecessary spicy and was distracted by the abundant seafood it contained. I was very happy with my lame. although it was rather small, it was delicate and tasteful. we received free desserts to try for the main course fiasco. my wife had a cream brûlée with sorbet. I had served a chocolate mousse with a caramelized banana and passion fruit. I also had a Sorbet flag. it was a living yellow, although I couldn't recognize its taste. this restaurant is a popular and well-respected eating. we felt quite underwhelmed because of our experience."

"Great local Italian with lots of character, great food and outstanding service. The restaurant offers good value for money in an area which can be overpriced. It obviously has a lot of regular customers and I would definitely return."

"I'm vegan and chose Zizzi's because they have a vegan menu. The food was great the vegan option being really thoughtful and delicious and the other pizzas and pasta very good. But it's the service that makes the difference, the manager was exceptional spending time talking about other vegan establishments in Brighton and making us feel so welcome. A great place for an evening meal."

"Have never eaten here, but only ever heard positive feed back. Cousins birthday, I do not live in the area so rang to order some bottles of bubbles for the table. Only writing this as experience was very upsetting and I am still shocked. I spoke with a lady, explained cousin having birthday dinner (I did get name wrong that table was ordered under) so wanted to make sure was correct table. She said I was loud and shouting. I have a loud voice (nodules on voice box). But its also naturally loud as well. I do not raise my voice, it is not my style also my voice loud enough. It doesnt need raising. We finally worked out correct table, I then thought she had gone to get payment machine. But she just hung up. So I called back, another waitress answered. I explained previous call and again asked if I could pay over phone for bottles of bubbles. I was asked to wait a moment whilst she fetched the machine. Whilst I waited I had to listen to what herself and the first waitress were saying about me. Won 't lie, it was very upsetting and I 'm quite a tough cookie. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional as well as hurtful. When she came back on phone I politely told her I heard all their conversation, she went quiet and apologised then asked if still wanted the bubbles. I politely replied 'I don 't think so '. Not sure what to take away from this experience. At least cover phone or put on hold if your going to talk badly about someone who wishes to spend money whom you have never met............"

"Last weekend, I visited this restaurant with my family and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the restaurant and the staff. The waiters were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. As someone with severe allergies, I was grateful for the care they took in adapting my dish from the menu to ensure it was safe for me to eat. They also went above and beyond in providing excellent service to the child in our group. If I lived closer, I would definitely make this restaurant a regular dining spot."

"After reading the reviews we were excited to visit Called to book for the next day for lunch. someone said they would call us back they did the next day at 12.30! Waitress efficient but not friendly. 2 roasts ordered, 1 fish and chips. Tradional roast but Roast potatoes have garlic!! When asking waitress why doesn't it state on menu that theyare garlic as I don't like garlic her response was to blame me for not asking if the roasties were garlic ones!! I replied I didn't think to ask as its a roast potato she then ranted saying they can't possibly write all the ingredients of each item on the menu, and again I should have asked that I didn't want garlic with my roast!! Spoilt my meal completely. Cauliflower cheese is vile tastes powdery, watery and bland, Fish was very small and thin for a big price. Drinks way over priced. Waitress that bought the bill was again unfriendly. This is the first time I haven't left a tip in over 30 years!! WE WONT BE VISITING AGAIN. BASIC PUB. IMPRESSION. THEY THINK THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR THAT WHAT THEY ARE. NOT EVEN BASIC CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PROVIDED. 1 star given for the cajin chicken burger whi h was absolutely massive and delicious! Thick bacon. Delicious fries. Minus 3 stars for 3 lower than average meals Minus 1 star for unfriendly and blaming the customer for not being a Monday reader. £100 wasted!!!!"

"This is a fantastic family-friendly pub to visit after a relaxing day at West Wittering Beach. The staff greeted us with warm smiles upon our arrival and accommodated our two dogs by seating us in the garden, where they stayed entertained on the climbing frame. The food was excellent! I particularly enjoyed the burger, which was delicious and held together by a skewer in the middle. My wife had a ham and mushroom pizza, which was not like your average store-bought pizza - it was hand-made, stone-fired, and fresh. Our dogs were also well taken care of, receiving attention from a friendly staff member who is a fellow dog owner and even got some free treats. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner, but I personally think it's a perfect way to end the day with your family, so opt for dinner. I have never given an establishment 5 stars before, but this pub truly deserves it."

"We had a fabulous meal here in February. The 10-course menu included a few off-the-menu bites, so it was probably a 12-course tasting. Since we were there in winter, the theme was foods that had been preserved in some way, such as dried, cured or pickled items. With one exception (a freshwater fish with dill), we found the food to be exquisitely prepared and plated; the aforementioned fish was good but not up to the same standard as the other courses. We included the wine pairing and so had the opportunity to taste eight Hungarian wines in addition to the food. The sommelier was knowledgeable and engaging. Seating in the restaurant was very comfortable, clearly designed for a long, leisurely meal. Wait staff were attentive and informative."

"I found this place by accident one day and I'm so glad I did, my Husband and I love this place and when we take our Daughter (age she loves it too. Hubby usually gets Mussels in a tomato sauce iv tried them...fabulous) The Fillet steaks are always cooked exactly the way we want (Med to rare). Can I say Iv tried Diane sauce many many times and their Diane sauce is absolutely superb (different BUT BETTER) than anywhere. Casa Mia pasta is lovely and creamy, fresh and very filling. My Daughters favourite is macaroni cheese and she absolutely loves the garlic bread with cheese. There are so many lovely dishes on their menu Iv tried most of them) and I can honestly say I have never left disappointed or hungry, I'm very surprised by previous review about portion sizes I NEVER finish my meal as I'm so full with the courses couldn't contemplate a dessert my Daughter assures me they are the best). The staff are really good at what they do even if they are mega busy they still stop to chat and always ask if we enjoyed our meal. I had been unwell with Covid and my appetite wasn't quite back so left quite a bit of my meal the last time we visited, the Manager came to ask if I hadn't enjoyed my meal as I'd left so much. I have ONE wee thing, I love Pate but don't like terrine, so Chef La Belle can I have Pate that isn't terrine, PLEASE Really fab little place please try it for yourself, I'm so glad we did. This is our go to times a month. PS, Chi Chi cocktail is devine"

"We recently hosted a 50th birthday celebration for over 30 guests at this Italian restaurant, which happens to be my husband's favorite. The staff were extremely organized and there were no errors with the meals. They did a great job preparing, cooking, and serving a 3-course meal for everyone. The food was delicious and arrived hot and fresh. The service was excellent and the staff were willing to accommodate any requests. We will definitely return to Gaetano's for special occasions in the future. The only regret we have is not taking any photos, but we highly recommend dining there yourself as you will not be disappointed. We are even considering booking a table for Christmas. Thank you to Carlo, his wife, and son for a wonderful experience. We will be back soon. As for parking, there is a car park near BBC Wiltshire Radio which is affordable after 6pm."

"This was our first visit. I have to remind myself that this is a training environment for students but there should be someone in charge, who is identifiable to direct the students on how to present a menu and how to place a dish in front of customers. However, four courses for £35, amuse bouche counted for one course. Amouse bouche lacked any seasoning, orzo starter, well cooked but again lacked seasoning. My wife had fish, Coley, which was nice. I had chicken breast on a bed of curry sauce with hassleback potatoes. My whole dish was luke warm at best, the curry sauce was overpowering, and the hassleback potatoes were not crispy. The chicken was lovely and moist and I ordered a side of triple cooked chips which were super hot, expensive at £4, I only wish the rest of my dish was that hot. I had cheese and biscuits which consisted of Brie, blue cheese and cheddar together with chutney. My wife had Pain Perdue which was well presented and tasty. The restaurant is more like a cafe, not cosy, so don't choose it if you want a romantic evening. Overall would I go again? probably not. If you are ever near the Lake district try to book a table in the restaurant at Kendal College. On a final note; there is parking on an evening next to the college. Drive up to the barrier and press the call button, security will let you in. The barrier opens automatically on exit."
"Visited today for Sunday lunch. They offer 3 plate sizes for their carvery roast, including small an option for extra meat potatoes. A small portion costs £12 as opposed to the £15 regular plate. There was a choice of turkey, beef or lamb. There isn't a help yourself carvery vegetable bar here; instead everything is plated up in the kitchen served to you. The fresh vegetables roast potatoes were nicely cooked but my turkey unfortunately had some gristley bits on the slice edges. The staff were friendly the tables were clean. There is a small car park with room for about 25 cars."

"As an experienced food enthusiast hailing from the Midwest and Western costal regions of the United States, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of Brea’s menu! I ordered the smoked duck with blackberry puree, chorizo jam and crispy Parma ham appetizers, as well as the scallops. The duck was a perfect combination of soft chewy duck, crisp ham and a delicious jam. The scallops were made to perfection. What stole the show, however, was the venison. No steak knife was required for this tender cut, perfectly pink and tender. To finish, I ordered the traditional cranachan with high expectations. Alongside the dishes, the spirits selection was impressive with local brews and whiskys. Would recommend!"
