"Took my father here for fathers day. Some of the dishes were really nice and a couple were lacking flavour. The service was incredibly terrible. It soured the whole experience. I had to wave the waitress over to take our order when I saw that a couple that arrived after us were ordering. The waitress was not friendly at all and just walked off after i finished ordering so I wasnt even sure if she had ordered everything I asked for. The tortilla that we ordered hadnt arrived by the time we finished everything else. We waited for someone to take the empty plates so we could enquire about where the torilla was. No one came. I had to wave a waitress over to ask about how long it would take. She said she would check and left the empty plates on our table. She didnt come back and avoided my eye when she was in view. I waved another waitress over and she also didnt take the empty plates and said she would check on our missing dish but she did not come back either. Finally it came but there was no apology for the wait. The tortilla was stodgy...too much potato and too thick...it definitely wasnt worth the wait. I then had to wave my arm in the air to get the attention of someone to get the bill and also wave someone over, after waiting a bit, to take our money. No one was helpful or attentive the whole time we were there and I was gutted as it was supposed to be a treat for my dad. The beetroot salad wasnt great. Grapefruit and bland beetroot doesnt really go together. The crab and avocado was yummy, and the rosemary manchego was good. Although the food was good, I didnt rate the service or atmosphere."

"aaahhh, La Pappardella....There's nothing I can say that can give their food justice...I've known La Pappardella for years, though I haven't been there for a while, until recently, where my husband and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary.So we went there full of hopes for a delicious, romatic evening. And such evening we've had.We were greeted by two of their staff and even though we have booked a table, they gave us a free choice to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant is small but they do have some sitting downstairsin and in the back garden in the summer.We've ordered a nice bottle of white wine. The choice on the menu is endless. Anything from pasta through risotto to pizzas and salads. We started off with grilled prawns and carpaccio. Now, I'm not a big fan of sea food, but I scoffed up almost all of my husband's starter. Carpaccio: tender and full of flavour.For main, my hubby chose risotto. That was the biggest plate i have seen while eating out. It was rich and creamy with fresh chicken and tender veg. I went for a lobster spaghetti. A bit extravagant, but it was a special occasion and I just wanted to compare London's lobster to the one we had in St Kitts. Well, I was not dissapointed. A huge plate of pasta (though it was slightly over-cooked and i like mine a bit tenter) in a rich, fresh tomato and a hint of a chilli sauce and there, on top, lay the lobster in its full glory: cut in quarters. It was delicious and... messy.... I never had to play with tools like this before, as previously I had my lobster shelled. But it was so much fun to get dirty.Ice-cream based desserts were the perfect finish to a lovely meal. At the ned, we received complimentary shots of lemon flavoured course meal for with bottle of wine and service we have paid which is an absolute bargain for the quality of food and service you'll receive in return.I love that little place and we just keep coming back for more.Buon apetito!"

"The food was of excellent quality and very authentic. However, the service was subpar, as the waiting staff were not particularly attentive. For instance, one of my guests follows a gluten-free diet and informed the waitress of her allergy. She ordered the chicken liver, but it was served with gravy. When she asked if there was flour in the gravy, the more senior waiter confirmed that there was. My guest then began discussing with another guest, who had ordered a rib-eye steak, the possibility of swapping dishes. The waiter overheard their conversation and must have recognised the awkwardness of the situation, yet did not offer to rectify it. Discreetly, I approached the waiter and asked if the chicken liver could be served without the gravy, but he insisted that the dish would not taste right without it. I explained that my guest really wished to have the chicken liver without the gravy and offered to pay for a replacement if necessary. As the waiter agreed my guest returned the dish (untouched), yet I was still charged for both meals. Despite this, we left satisfied, as the staff were generally friendly and I did offer to pay for the replacement! However, in most restaurants, the dish would have been replaced, especially given that my guest had specified her inability to eat gluten. The price was reasonable for eight guests, even though I paid for ten mains, along with some starters and desserts."
