"it is a cozy classic restaurant; six minutes walk from oxford circus. we went there to my friend's birthday. I didn't order any appetizers, but some of the guests did and the dishes looked amazing what made me regret not to order one. from lachs, garnelen to mozzarella, they had a great choice for all tastes. for the main, I ordered the chestnut tortellini, filled with ricotta cheese and pumpkin; it was really good and only £13.50 the service was exceptional as soon as we arrived, we had waiters who took our moms, then fill our jars and refill them as soon as they are empty. at the end we also had problems with the bill, so the waiter was friendly enough...read more"

"The service was a bit slow; it felt like they were short-staffed. The food was good, but it took a total of 2.5 hours for our meal to arrive, which seems like a long time. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the evening. We initially tried to grab a drink at the connected bar, 53° North, but after waiting too long to be served, we decided to go to a bar across the street instead. We've had better experiences at this restaurant and bar in the past, so to be honest, this visit was a bit underwhelming. Next time, we might try somewhere else."

"Two friends and myself visited Fratelli's last week It was absolutely lovely. We were all pleased with our meals. Spaghetti Carbonara is a particular favourite of mine, and it didn't disappoint! In fact I would say it was one of the best I've ever had. The food was served in good time, was all really tasty, and the restaurant was lovely. I'm happy to give the full five stars, and look forward to a return visit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"We decided to sit outside at the restaurant, which turned out to be a good choice at first due to the weather. However, be cautious if you think it might rain, as the umbrellas may not provide full coverage if you sit at the edge. The selection of starters was excellent, so much so that both my dining companion and I opted to have two starters each instead of a main course. I indulged in the delicious baked camembert with garlic bread sticks, followed by the crab and avocado dish which was very tasty. My dining companion thoroughly enjoyed the mackerel and mussels. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding with custard (not ice cream as listed on the menu) was a hit, although a bit more custard would have been ideal. The Eaton Mess dessert was too sweet for both of us, despite our sweet tooth. The atmosphere was peaceful, aside from a slight disturbance from another table. The restaurant offers a nice view by the riverside, and I would definitely consider returning in the future."

"First time here, I don't know what I was expecting but whatever it was I was definitely impressed! Smart place, we had a Groupon for Saturday's which was incredibly good value. The is on another level, cooked super fresh from scratch, it's up there with the best I've had. I liked the bar as well comfortable. The open plan kitchen pizzeria was nice. The staff were super accommodating and mega friendly! I'd come back for sure."

"a nice afternoon dinner. we booked for a table of 10 for a afternoon dinner and had a good time. it can be difficult to book online so we arranged the hotel marriott and they booked us in carluccios. tony called me the day before to make sure we were still before our booking. at the arrival the manager (a woman) did not know that we were pre-ordered, but her colleague has laid our table and waited for us. all staff were very nice and professional, service was prompt and friendly. the food was traditional Italian fare and well cooked. the drink selection was also very nice and the cocktails went well down. dephran took care of our table and was extremely professional and friendly. we celebrated a birthday and the personal brought a cake and extra cutlery, nothing was too much annoyed and they did it with a smile. the restaurant is spacious and has a beautiful feeling, with seating for groups, families and couples. it is located in the marriott hotel, which is a beautiful bar and lobby area next to the restaurant. there is a fee for parking, but there is a lot of space. if they are well cooked Italian cuisine in west london in a beautiful environment with good service then carluccio is definitely worth visiting. we will definitely visit again. thanks to all the staff."

"Great service!! I don't know that girl's name but she really made sure we had everything and that we enjoyed our dinner. About food, we ordered king prawns starter, it was tasty with little chutney on the side but just 3 small prawns. Really really really small portion size for that price. Naan here is simply yummy. We ordered Vindaloo with it. Like a typical Goan Vindaloo, this one was hot, very spicy but flavourful. It had well made chicken."

"This was a last minute booking as we found ourselves in London for the weekend. The food was delicious and some of the service team were warm and welcoming. One of the servers placed the amuse bouche on our table and walked away without telling us what it was (we had to ask another person). Thank goodness we don 't have any food allergies! We also had to ask more than once for some ice to have with our drinks. We also had to tell them when we were finished with the mains, and when we ordered dessert (which included a hot drink), we did not receive any petit fours or chocolate (all the other tables did). Perhaps service was a little off this weekend? The other downside was that the prices advertised on The Fork did not match the prices on The Goring 's website, and the prices advertised on The Goring 's website did not match the actual prices on the menu! For example, their famous lobster omelette is £34 on The Fork 's 'a la carte ' menu, £38 on The Goring 's website, but we were actually charged £45! The food is good, but I am not sure we would go back again. We paid over £200 for a 3-course meal and service was subpar and the prices were inconsistent."

"We popped here after work to grab a quick bite. The burger looked good so we went with that. The beef came out a bit overcooked and the chips were undercooked. We constantly saw the waitresses bring food out then take it back to the kitchen again which puts me on the back foot for their ability to customise your food. Hard to recommend, but on the plus side they do accept the tastecard"

"Good range of starters we had the sliced duck tasty and a generous portion. We both had the roast beef which was excellent. Chefs were very jolly and served generously Beef, lots of veg and 2 types of potato. A dessert table to die for chocolate b b pudding, many cheese cakes more fruit would have been good. First coffee had almost no coffee in it just hot milk! Replacement cup much better. Table service efficient but not overly warm. This was a very informal family oriented venue so this service seemed oddly out of place."

"Late lunch on a very cold day in Winchester. So silly cold today that they had radiators to help customers. Asked for one to be moved closer... no problem! Anyway, as usual the food was excellent, the service nicely attentive, and the food... excellent! Friendly staff, and in the cold they were dressed in some nicely warm clothing. Honestly though, a nice place for a relaxed pizza and a couple of glasses of wine. Highly recommended!"

"My wife and I have been to the County Kitchen a few times for their Sunday Carvery. So why, you may ask have I only given the County Kitchen 3 stars and entitled my review as lacks consistency? Well the title does say it all, it isn 't that the food and service and surroundings are bad its just that as a complete package it...........lacks consistency. Perhaps I should explain rather than repeating myself Our table was crammed in with others in the small conservatory/veranda area. It felt cramped as we were against a pillar and so close to at least 6 other diners that it felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, especially as the rest of the restaurant was empty. Moving on to our food. We opted for starters, followed by the carvery. My wife 's starter crab haddock fishcake, with chive hollandaise was presented nicely and according to her very nice but lacked flavour . Mine was pork belly terrine and chutney my comments mirror those of my wife 's. Lacked seasoning and flavour, but looked nice. I echo Greg Wallace 's thoughts on Masterchef the other day..... ...would rather have something that tastes good rather than a dish that just looks pretty... Now the carvery you have a choice of at 3 roast meats plus vegetables and if you feeling really hungry there isn 't a limit to the number of times you can go back. But for most appetites 1 visit is enough. Being a little greedy I had a couple of slices of port with yummily crisp crackling) and some beef. The carver described the beef as medium rare my preference) but it was more like medium to well done so it was a bit tough and chewy shame as it looked a fantastic joint of beef). That finally put an end to our meal, we paid our bill £59.95 incl bottle of wine, and starters) and left. I have to say that this hasn 't been our experience on other occasions, so perhaps its was just an off day. Will we go back? Probably, but we won 't be rushing back. Its not a bad place, it just.....lacks consistency!"

"the Christmas dinner has enjoyed us very much. for the first time eat in a restaurant for christmas and that supplied. also cocktails were pleasant. the food was enjoyed by all, we ordered various things - everyone remained happy and full. the music selection was perfect that we sing together, also perfect loudness. we asked about the type of caviar, they had no warning, but tried to say they did. would have been better to just say we don't know. more appropriate space between the guests so that we felt comfortable and had space to enjoy private sphere while in a common environment. would definitely be rebooking. might have listed the circumcisions for the most important courses on the Christmas menu before they were different depending on the meat they ordered, but was a beautiful surprise and delicious both."

"we cried into the copper band on the off-change of gettin a table for 2, we were greeted by the beautiful ramanda, she greeted us with a beautiful smile and a really inviting attitude, we were shown our sitting, a menu and asked what we want to drink, a very pleasant young barkeeper mixologe served us our drinks, I was served my gin, how it should be served and just how it should be trimming. we choose our food and we were thrilled by the presentation and the aromen in each and every dish....we will certainly be back again, and all thanks to the wonderful co-workers especially ramanda, which is a real advantage for this restaurant, in front of house personnel as they are rarely found in local restaurants, we did not get the rest of the co-workers name, maybe it would be an idea to have staff with a name very pleasant evening. go raibh maith agus beannacht."

"I was seated in a cramped corner, and it took some time for someone to come to our table. I had made a reservation a month in advance and expected a decent table. Justifying the poor seating by saying it was Valentine's Day doesn't sit well with me. The food was overpriced for pub fare, and the pictures online made it seem better than it actually was. I won't be returning."

"Before a concert near us, we decided to dine at a restaurant on an early Sunday evening without a reservation. We were told there was a 30-minute wait, so we ordered drinks outside. After approximately 15-20 minutes, our table was ready with our drinks waiting for us. We ordered three appetizers to share, which were delicious. Some of the dough twists were slightly overcooked, but overall, the food was amazing. My friend ordered a dessert, and the staff was attentive and efficient. The food came quickly and was extremely tasty. This was my first time dining at Bella Italia (using the Cineworld discount), and I would definitely return."

"Food was nice but overpriced for what it was. Not much service. Had to keep getting waiters attention for them to clear plates etc then when I asked to give a tip based on my experience rather than an added overpriced service charge I was told I could only pay the full service charge or nothing. When I said I wouldn’t pay one the manager was quick to come over and say I could pay a tip of my choice."

"Had a really lovely evening here last night, the food delicious and reasonably priced. The wine was quite expensive so we opted for the ‘house red’ which was absolutely fine for us. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive, the ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend, and will be going back for sure."

"the mercer has a large selection of wines and a simple but effective British menu. one of the most important advantages for me was the excellent value for money. it is difficult to get good quality eating in the center of london for £45 for two people. also the live music is a really cool addition feature that has been added to the experience. I was very well supervised by the employees and would definitely consider the return."

"we really enjoyed our meal here. came to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Unfortunately, we were not told during our booking that we would only have 90 minutes of the table, as we felt in a hurry and on cursing a bad decision from the office hardly jumped fair on the staff. my main meal was pork belly it was divine 10/10 my man had the rib and he was very happy with him cooked to his lust. I decided for the mont blanc from the festive menu for dessert it was such a disappointment 1/10 bought in meringue very small chestnut and saw chocolate drops that were more like what they melted down for tempting. cote should improve or take it from the menu. I have let the server know of my unmut, unfortunately I have paid the full price for it. our drinks were well made and the wee was excellent, the employees were very friendly and efficient, especially the cookies served. so close to getting 5 stars."
