"We had a lovely meal and the staff were fantastic. Our little one loved the fish tank and we all felt very looked after. The food was all very delicious too. We walked in at opening time but it did get busy around 6pm. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, all the staff and chefs made our toddler feel very welcome and she enjoyed the food. Meal type: Dinner"

"It’s my sons 9th birthday today and I decided to take him to try the best pizza in the area. Called up and spoke to the owner who managed to book us a table last minute for 7pm. We ordered a couple of lemonades and 1X 12 inch meat pizza between me and my son which had sausage, chicken, ham and cheese. The pizza was so fresh, delicious and very lite that we ordered a second one and after that we were stuffed. I supplied a chocolate cake and the owner/chef brought the cake out with candles and sung happy birthday to my son. It was a beautiful moment and was so nice of him to do that. This is the best pizza place I’ve been to plus the friendly staff etc made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much for everything I will be bringing my son and mum back here very soon. I think it’s going to be my son and I new place to go. Don’t hesitate to call to book table now you will wish you booked sooner!!!!"

"My girlfriend and I visited Tarantella for lunch today. We opted for the 2-course menu, starting with arancini filled with spinach and risotto, which were absolutely delicious. I ordered the carbonara for my main course, which was incredibly creamy and flavorful with well-cooked meat. My girlfriend, Ahri, chose the bolognaise, which she enjoyed although she found the pasta a bit hard. The brownie we had for dessert was so filling that we had to take it to go, and I found the chocolate flavor to be too dark for my liking. Despite that, it was a wonderful date with satisfying food, all for just under £30 for both of us."

"We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife 's, Angela 's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials ' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino 's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino 's singing 'Happy Birthday ' with their quirky horn wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille! Yet again, Nino 's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room ' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you ' to all at Nino 's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao."

"Honestly can’t recommend enough our new favourite place. Food portions are absolutely huge, we couldn’t finish it but that’s absolutely not a moan starters (Ribs and Halloumi fries were so flavoursome and beautifully done. We then had the burger and the scampi (my partner doesn’t like fish but found the alternative variety so hard to choose from , the scampi was so fresh. Staff are beautifully friendly and attentive, our main waitress was polite, professional and warm, and what we believe may be the manager or owner was equally as warm, engaged in conversation and very approachable. Price was average, if anything extremely reasonable considering portion size and quality of the food. The biggest bonus of all is that they are dog friendly. When we went, including our cockapoo there were 6 dogs, all incredibly well behaved and so welcome. They have introduced a dog menu which is a beautiful touch and really went a long way for us (ITS FREE TOO! . Just a beautiful ethos and atmosphere, with delicious food. We couldn’t praise more highly. Thank you Pier One."

"I often dine at Caffe Gondola and sometimes choose a starter from their wonderful Specials Menu instead of a main course, depending on how hungry I am. On my last visit, I decided to try the scallops with chili and garlic served on a bed of spinach, and I must say it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced and I particularly liked how the Chef cut the scallops into small pieces, making them tender and flavorful. The food at this restaurant is always top-notch, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and it's always nice to see familiar faces among the regular customers."
"Tried to visit Francesco Amorosa for another superb Italian meal, but found the restaurant closed. Oh no. We have been eating at Francisco's for a few years now and always have fantastic food served with passion and friendship. The end of an era. Wishing you both a long and happy retirement. Affectionately yours; Claudio (Ranieri), Sylvia Da Grandson. All the very best...."

"I absolutely love Italian cuisine, but it's often challenging to find authentic Italian restaurants. To my delightful surprise, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. The food is genuinely authentic Italian, complemented by excellent service. They also cater to children, offering smaller portions of pasta, pizza, and other meal adjustments. Everything was delicious! The only downside for us is that it's not local, but if you get the chance, make sure to add this place to your list of must-visit restaurants."

"We were informed that almost everything on the full vegan menu was gluten-free, except for a couple of items. We ordered two garlic bread pizzas, two main dishes, a large salad to share, a juice each, and the total bill came to £36. The staff were accommodating and did not seem bothered by catering to vegan and gluten-free diets, unlike some other places. The food was delicious, with the avocado in the salad being particularly creamy and soft."

"Whenever we visit the UK we always go to The Mayflower Theater. We always have dinner before hand and we always used to go to Tosca's as its food was amazing, the service was great, and its proximity to the theater. Since the revamp, however, the food has quality has diminished. The salads looked tired, the pastas were limited and the fries were cold. The staff were slow in offering the limited meats that were available and the pizza we were served was cold, (it tasted like a frozen supermarket pizza). We only ever returned because of Tony, the maitred, but as he was not there on our last visit I doubt we will go back."

"I absolutely loved this restaurant! It offers authentic Italian cuisine and a wonderful atmosphere. The food was amazing—we enjoyed a charcuterie board, pasta, and fish! The owner was incredibly friendly as well. There are plenty of options available for those with gluten allergies, making it a great choice for celiacs. Service was excellent, and we dined in for dinner. The price per person was around £20–30. Highly recommend!"

"We discovered this lovable restauraunt while walking the South Downs way. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere so much that we have since been back several times despite it taking us over an hour to get there from Southampton! We see it as an adventure for special occasions. Tonight we took our sister and her husband for the first time and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed starters of white bait, baked mozarella and garlic bread. For our mains we stuck with the classics; carbonara, lasagna and mushroom risotto. And for dessert we all enjoyed the chocolate soufflé on the specials board! My husband enjoyed the draft beer on tap while our brother enjoyed a merlot with his meal. Everyone enjoyed a limonchello after except me as I am a tee total and designated driver! We love the owner who is a friendly chap from Rome, he always makes us feel welcome and takes good care of us. We drove home full of good comfort food and in high spirits! A beautiful night out! Would highly reccomend. Parking: Free street parking after 6pm Mon-Fri, free on weekends."

"We had a wonderful meal while on a weekend away in Stirling. Despite being incredibly busy with the pre Christmas crowds, the manager managed to find us a table for 8pm. Serving staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Our food was fantastic and full of flavour the arrabiata was especially good and the bruschetta excellent. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming and a fellow diner giving an astounding rendition of Nessun Dorma added to the festivities! The staff also deserve commendation for their excellent handling of some extremely drunk customers who having complained about an aspect of their meal (didn’t stop them from eating it,or consuming a fair bit of wine) decided to try to leave without paying. We were close enough to their table to hear this being said. They complained to the server and demanded the manager come out to explain things. Upon speaking with the manager one individual said they weren’t paying (not even one assumes for the wine). This particular individual was fairly belligerent. The manager informed them that police would be called if they refused to pay and after some back and fore the party grudgingly agreed to pay something towards the meal. The fact that this happened in front of other diners must have made the situation more awkward for staff but they dealt with it very well, apologising to the remaining customers afterwards (no apology needed). We will definitely return should we be in Stirling again. Lovely place,"

"This is a fantastic Italian restaurant with a delightful atmosphere, outstanding service, and delicious food. We visited for our daughter's 18th birthday, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The ambiance was relaxed, and the food was truly excellent. As vegetarians, we appreciated the wide variety of vegetarian starters and main courses available. The pasta dishes were flavorful, the pizzas were perfectly baked, and the calzone was delightful—just be prepared for the generous portions that are almost too much to finish! The staff even treated our birthday girl to a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. Overall, it was a wonderful evening at a charming Italian restaurant that we wholeheartedly recommend."

"We have eaten in many restaurants around the world and Marco's Italian Restaurant in Budleigh Salterton is ranked highly due to the very fine skills of the talented chef, Marco. If you want pizza, have it, but we suggest you take opportunity from the main menu. The food is fresh, seasoning balanced and full of flavour. We had the best steak, cooked perfectly rare to order and the veal. With many thanks for a perfect last night to our holiday. Service: Dine in"

"This restaurant absolutely exceeded my expectations! I ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was spectacular. The food was a solid 5 out of 5. I highly recommend the scallops, which were cooked perfectly, and the Lamb Rogan Josh served with saffron rice and naan—each bite was a delight. The service was also top-notch, earning another 5-star rating; the staff was friendly and efficient. As for the atmosphere, even in takeout form, you could sense the inviting vibe of the restaurant. A fantastic dining experience overall!"

"I last reviewed the Navarra in 2013 in glowing terms, and since then it has become our special place, the first choice for birthdays and anniversaries. We were looking forward to trying it again now it has been extended and refurbished, but were very disappointed. The food is still EXCELLENT but you can 't relax and enjoy it. We barely had chance to open the new menu before the waiter arrived to take our order. We asked for more time, but a couple of minutes later he was back. I said we weren 't ready to order and he replied, What? Not even starters? He returned yet again before we were ready to order. We were eating early and only three tables were occupied so we couldn 't see what the hurry was. We usually like to see the specials board but there wasn 't one, and we didn 't learn till afterwards that there was a printed specials menu that we were not given. Once the food arrived, the pressure didn 't let up. I object to staff trying to clear my plate before I 've finished eating! This didn 't just happen once, but FOUR times, twice with the starter and twice with the main. This is totally unacceptable and we didn 't order dessert because we felt so unwelcome. At one time you could linger and enjoy your meal, but not now. Coupled with the loud music, this is not the restful venue we knew and loved. Sadly, we will now have to find a new favourite place. They were in a hurry to get rid of us, so we are in no hurry to go back."

"I was visiting from London and joined friends for a birthday dinner at this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic and the prices were reasonable. I really appreciated the service; the staff were friendly and approachable. The food was good, though I wasn't particularly fond of the dish I ordered. However, the portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were appealing (I tried my friend's lobster ravioli and liked that even more). Overall, it's a lovely place run by genuinely wonderful people. Service: Dine-in."
"The restaurant offers delicious food and house wine in a shabby chic setting, although the experience can be marred by smoke from smokers drifting into the garden room. The portions are generous, and the service is generally good. This is a great spot for a dine-in dinner with prices ranging from £10-20 per person. The food scores a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 3 out of 5."
