"I was already a couple of times from the beginning when it was reopened initially when it was opened, they treated all customers with good service, now choose and choose priority they based on the size of the table. if they alone, a few then forget service. Believe me that the food proportions were very good when they have now opened, they have mostly halved in size, while almost every choice had added over its price I ordered the usual calzone folded pizza and cannelloni after taking this to us. the calzone had only a few crowds chickener in it probably because it was busy, we were only two, and it was cold. the cannelloni was beautiful...read more"

"good eating served by a large team. the warm service is from the moment in which they enter. menu has many good options. the food was served very quickly and we never felt that we were waiting long. the table setting was nicely laid, clean and well thought out. would definitely visit again to try out more options from the menu."

"Service, service, service.... The treatment we received was efficient, bordering on surley. No time to crack a smile or answer a question. Some of the food was good. The tunna carpaccio was on point, though wanting for a drizzle of oil. A second course of lobster ravioli served as a main, rather than the second starter I asked for, my companion called “school canteen” food, tough packets of lobster flavoured gunk, more in common with packet ravioli from tesco’s than the lose, silky, self evidently hand made parcels of fresh crustacean I was hoping for. The butter and sage sauce was nowhere to be seen, I believe there were chopped tomatoes instead. The veal was good, sadly not to be had, as promised on line, with capers. The side of beans was as confronting as our server it was so al dente. A bowl of freshly grated parmisan left on our table by another server was a benediction. The bill: £82 change our drinks were a smallish a bottle of sparking water at nearly £5. I had worked out the costing of this meal based on the menu posted online at around £55 60 for actual food drink items. Apparently the new post Brexit/covid/war prices haven't made it on line yet the ravioli main course has gone up from £20 to £26. Even with the 15% service charge we could not have anticipated spending £82 on three plates, a side a bottle of water. Though I specified I wanted the plates in succession making the ravioli a second course before the main as pasta should be in Italy, the two plates were brought together as two mains, not what I had hoped for fair enough, it was after nine by the time we walked in, however it would have been nice to be asked before the chef/server took the executive role for us. With £90 in cash on the table the prevalent attitude was the balance would be a tip on top of the service charge. 25% for service? Possibly ok, if it was pleasant: that we had to ask for our change tells you about the service put a sour note on top of an already kinda dismal meal. I rarely eat out, this was my special treat place, I live around the corner. I thought I was so clever bringing a guest here, the experience was significantly different from the last few times (incidentally, I’ve always sat outside in the past and it’s cramped inside I ended up feeling embarrassed sad. I don't think I’ll be back soon. Here’s to cooking at home. :"

"I been to Italian restaurants in the past and have been disappointed with the food and the value. I came to this restaurant previously about 3 years ago and my love for eating out in Italian restaurant was discovered. My experience this time was still a pleasure with great food and great service"

"This is a great restaurant with affordable prices. I will definitely be coming back soon. The steak was delicious, as well as the starter. I would highly recommend trying the Al Pepe steak. The service was efficient, and I appreciated that the food wasn't rushed out too quickly."

"This is without a doubt the best curry I have ever tasted. I initially tried their take-out and it was exceptional. I have since dined in the restaurant multiple times with my family, friends, dates, and coworkers, and the atmosphere, service, and most importantly the food are all impeccable."

"We can only recommend the Ristorante Alitalia at Hammerbrookstraße 93, directly opposite the S Hammerbrook South. We'll definitely be back. We were 3 people, everyone had ordered something else and we were completely enthusiastic. The Rumpsteak is better by lengths than in the Block House, the Penne Arrabiata was super tasty and the pork medals were also great. The red wine Bella Primotiva was worth a sin."

"Despite having a reservation, we were told by a rude waiter that there was no table available. The waiter refused to take responsibility for reservations made through OpenTable and walked away. Unfortunately, we were unable to evaluate the food, but based on this experience, we can only give a poor overall rating."

"when my friend told me that she'd take us to olive garden, I thought of the Italian American chain restaurant. but what can't be said here. on the way there it just had this beautiful home-y look about it. in the inner was cozy and empty when we were there for about 18:30 (I think), now I have no fan of restaurant Italian cuisine, because it always tastes like tomaten and pasta that I don't like. So I had my reservations we went to a recommendation from my friend's colleague. she has been going to this restaurant for 10 years! our waitress was beautiful and took our order. I mentioned that when we were there, we were...read more"

"I've been coming to La Porchetta for more than three years by now and last visit was simply the worst! We ordered pizza which had garlic on the menu, but when I finally got it, there was no smell or taste of it. I gave it back to the kitchen asking to add garlic to it. 5 minutes later I received same pizza with no taste or smell of garlic, but pizza was fully covered in oil! It looked like an oil lake in a plate. When I gave it back to a manager, he was angry and instead of trying to sort out this situation he started gossiping with staff showing on our table! afterwards he demonstratively printed the bill and put in on a counter constantly looking on us waiting when we'll leave!

"It's not a fancy location, but it's a welcoming Italian restaurant that offers good food. It's also conveniently located for those attending performances at Sadler's Wells."

"We stayed in Brighton for a few days as it was my son's birthday, we stumbled over Cafe Aldo when we had 2 children with us and needed to get a breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and a good serving size. The service was excellent and he even put our buggy away for us, so we had more space. After the demand for the account of the owners who worked nicely, it was my son's birthday without asking them to buy a free piece of chocolate cake with 2 pots of ice. The whole café then sung happy birthday for him!! Thanks for making his day and making him feel so special. Will definitely visit the next time and choose with many cafes I would definitely recommend this place for a beautiful family business!!"
"this is the third time I was here, and I'll go again next week! eating is fabulous, service is great. these areas have many different restaurants over the years. that is by far the best!"

"came here twice. the first time was a Friday night and the place was super quiet and yet they packed everyone who came into the restaurant in the same corner. felt steamed and annoyed as a whole restaurant, but eating was good. I get that they want to make the palate busy with the people standing in front of the window, but that was ridiculous. second time I came with family and place was super busy, but they have now accommodated us more. they originally told us only seating, but then asked if we wanted to move on a table. we all have the chair seats preferred to see how everything comes from the kitchen and get it easier to get someone attention if necessary. my second meal was more beautiful than the first and will definitely come back for more."
