"Interestingly, despite being an Italian restaurant, they did not offer any Italian beer, only Spanish and German options. Moving on to the main course, although the portions were small, the dish was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed butternut squash and goat cheese tortellini, which were generously stuffed with goat cheese and adorned with walnuts. On the other hand, I also tried the duck dish. While it was well-cooked and satisfying in quantity, I believe it would have benefited from being served warm and sliced. A sharper knife might have improved the presentation. Nonetheless, the duck itself was perfectly cooked. The food we had was truly delightful, showcasing high-quality ingredients. That said, I felt the menu was rather limited; it was quite concise with around 20 dishes total, from starters to desserts. In comparison, many other Italian restaurants offer extensive menus that tantalize the palate. Moreover, I found it somewhat presumptuous—and a bit annoying—that a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. I typically prefer to leave a tip based on the service I received, and being compelled to pay an extra amount diminished the overall experience. While the service was good and I appreciate the efforts of the staff, I believe that tips should be a personal decision made by the diner rather than a forced obligation. Overall, the food was excellent, and I may return, but I hope for a few improvements next time."

"I recently visited Ritorno with a friend for a dinner. The atmosphere was intimate and the modernized interior was extremely fashionable. The terrace surrounding the restaurant, besides the huge representation of Italian wines behind the bar, there was an authentic feeling. The service was very friendly and friendly. Ritornos specializations presented in small, tapas-style dishes, very elegant. For the starters we had the Pizza Fritta, a charcoal pizza, accompanied by a Camembert cheese fondant, which is an ideal serving size for a entrée and tasted fantastic! The main thing consisted of Fassona beef tars, tuna tars with avocado and avocado cream, grilled octopus with Sicilian ratatouille, slowly baked beef with Ragu Tagliatelle, meerrot salmon and serrated spinach, Turnip Langoustine ragu with homemade cavatelli, pistachios of bronte and one side of the flower coal. All these dishes were freshly prepared and had a real taste of genuine Italian cuisine. There wasn't too much of any court and I couldn't make any mistakes. Then the homemade apple tea came with vanilla ice cream for dessert, which is the perfect sweet to finish the meal. The fact that it is homemade (and tasty) was really added to the general authenticity of the restaurant. We had a nice evening in Ritorno’s and would recommend it to friends! It was warm and welcoming and the food was not disappointed. My only regret is that I no longer tried the famous cocktails they are proud of and that looked amazing. I can't wait to come back soon!"

"Booked afternoon tea for me and a friend after looking at several excellent trip advisor reviews (I should have read more! . We paid £32.95 each plus £8.95 each for small bottle (one glass size of Prosecco We thought from the menu that we would get a variety of sandwiches but only got a choice of 1 each (2 fillings had a supplementary charge . When the food arrived we were soooo disappointed. The sandwiches were incredibly ordinary. No fancy bread or cut nicely. The ‘home made’ cakes on top were visually boring. A couple of fairy cakes with watery icing and 2 pieces of very small millionaires shortbread that looked ‘old’. The scones however looked and tasted lovely. And 2 teacups with very small portions of Eton mess were also nice. There was absolutely NOTHING special that warranted such a huge price! Nothing at all. We asked for the cakes to be boxed up and we ate them on our train journey home. The fairy cake was just ok and the millionaires shortbread did indeed taste old. On the way back to the train station we called at another place (Mama Doreen’s emporium for a drink and the afternoon teas that they were serving were incredible. We found out they were £25 each ! I don’t believe in posting a bad review on here without making the place aware first. I’ve sent them a message but had no reply. Hence I have no qualms posting this review."
