"We booked in for a late brunch but were told the website was out of date and there wasn't a brunch menu after 11am. The menu itself was extremely limited and certainly on the pricey side. I ended up ordering 2 x small plates (the left hand side are all small plates) at £9 each and my friend ordered the turbot at £24. The food itself was delicious, but at £66.00 for a one course lunch with no alcohol, it was probably too expensive to make it a regular haunt! The decor is great, however, and the place is light, airy and spotlessly clean. Just not what was sold on their website and somewhere for a treat not a quick bite to eat."

"We were left quite disappointed with our meals here. I had spaghetti bolognese which was OK but I 've made tastier ones myself at home. My husband had chicken and mushroom in a cream sauce. He said that his was also only OK and the 'sauce ' that was swimming around in the bottom of his bowl was more like a thin soup than a sauce. I also had a side of garlic bread which was the oddest I 'd ever had. It didn 't taste of garlic at all,was very greasy and burnt on the bottom. I saw some garlic bread going to the table next door and that was so over cooked that it was black on the top. Not somewhere we 'd recommend."

"The food was fine, but the service was terrible. Our table wasn’t available even though we had booked it. Only one starter out of three was served. The main courses were served immediately after, minus the other two starters. Our wine order was completely forgotten about. We were given free beer and dessert as an apology, but we didn’t realise until we got home that we were charged a service charge that we were not willing to pay."

"The Best Italian and authentic Italian food we've had outside of Italy in a very long time! We shared a brushetta, for main the fillet medallion and ravioli (cheese and pear) with tiramisu and cheesecake special dessert. Service was attentive, fast and caring. Food was just fantastic. Atmosphere felt like we'd stepped out of the rainy street into somewhere amazing for a little while. A gem the the heart of the city. Easy to book online. Thank you for a perfect evening x"

"Our recent visit was quite disappointing. We've been fans of Mauricio Barca for some time, and friends I had invited during the pandemic really enjoyed it too. So, we decided to bring some other friends along on Friday. However, it seems something has changed recently. One of our friends found her food satisfactory, but the other felt that her aubergine parmigiana had too much cheese. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca, a dish I had enjoyed before, but this time the chicken was overcooked and excessively oily, not at all like I remembered. The worst experience was for my friend who ordered a dish she had enjoyed previously. Unfortunately, it was so dry and tough that she was convinced it wasn’t even veal. It’s evident that something has gone wrong here, and I doubt we’ll be returning."

"Absolutley beautiful food! Friendly staff but not the iver powering kind and cosy pub atmosphere. We went for the first time about a month ago and been back 3 times since, its that good. Tonight we had the feather blade of beef with mash dumpling and honey carrots, and the lasagne with garlic bread and salad both were fantastic. They also have an italian night on a monday 3 courses for less than a tenner, and there not shabby portions either. Deffo recomend."

"I haven’t been to Pizza Express for sometime and my nephew wanted to visit for his 13th birthday. Oh dear! Talk about deterioration! My starter was Garlic King Prawns- well that was disappointing, the ‘King’ element of the prawns was clearly lost in translation as the stewed prawns and tomatoes really failed miserably. The description read much better than the product (Garlic King Prawns £7.75 Juicy king prawns, garlic butter, tomatoes, roasted peppers and chilli flakes with fresh tomatoes, red onion and parsley, served with Dough Balls). The ‘King’ prawns came from a kingdom of mini prawns! The pizzas appeared to have become smaller and slightly thicker and the flavour was very disappointing (I had Sloppy Giuseppe £13.45 and extra garlic). My family had their own choices and none of us came away feeling we had had something good. I live in the south of France and although I swear by the fact that cuisine is far superior in the UK that France nowadays, I’m not sure I can attribute that to Pizza in the UK. I think we will have to find a little independent pizza restaurant next time and hopefully we will come away feeling that we enjoyed our food. Perhaps I should also mention that my meal has had the effect of sending me to the toilet five times since last night!!"

"Pizza Express needs to review its menu Positives Great location Attentive staff Lots on the menu Easy to book a table on the app Popular with children Negatives: Thumb size portion of chicken in the £15 chicken pasta pesto mostly a dish full of sauce little of anything else Bland pizza £16 prawns with no flavour Sad to see a very large company cutting back on the quality of the meals when it’s not a cheap meal £15 £17) In a cost of living crisis the restaurants that serve up quality food decent portions will survive, the rest will fold, customers will go elsewhere"

"Just had a midweek meal with my family for my birthday. Whilst I can not fault the meal in the least, it really was excellent, the service was not what I expected. It was almost as if they didn't want you to be there. We...were not made to feel welcome at all. Even when I asked what vodkas were available i was told only smirnoff. I tend not to drink smirnoff so asked what beers were available, I was then informed, well we also have grey goose (which I then ordered). Also we asked for the remainder of my kids pizzas to be put in a box to takeaway, this seemed like a chore. The box of take home pizza was left on the table before we had even ordered dessert and coffee. We had to try and fit the desert around it. Including our table of 5 there were about 16 customers in the restaurant. My bill Including tip was £200. Midweek middle of the month I wasn't expecting it to be busy hence I was maybe expecting better and more attentive service. Food was excellent but don't think I'll return any time soon."

"Went to vita Bella today night with the wife due to not visiting for a while and felt we needed a treat. As always upon arrival we were met by the parking attendant who showed us where to park. Once inside a warm welcome from staff and then given the choice of being seated in the main restaurant or sitting next to the garden room, wife chose the latter. Once seated menus supplied and drink order taken. Plenty to choose from so took us a while to pick what to have lots looked good. I started with the scallops which were perfectly cooked, I was able to cut them with my spoon that’s how spot on they were. Now on to mains, I went for the veal with spaghetti again this was lovely, the spaghetti was cooked perfectly, not under cooked nor over cooked, and the bolognese was lovely, great flavour you could taste the meat not a load of tomato sauce here. My wife had the pork belly as this is one of her favorites here she always enjoys it and tonight was no different. Again the side of vegetables that accompanied my wife’s main were perfectly cooked and tasted lovely I know as I had some (can’t not as they are always perfect in flavour). We both fitted in a dessert tonight, my wife had apple pie which she said was lovely, I went for Coffee semifreddo which I’ve never had before as I’m not a big fan of desert and can normally take it or leave it but tonight I liked the sound of this one, again this didn’t disappoint if you like coffee and chocolate this is a must it was heavenly. To finish off when it came to getting the bill we were offered a completely drink and mints which was a lovely end to a perfect meal out."

"Travelling solo, went through the door and the manager acknowledged me, took about 3 minutes until someone came and invited me to a table however. I got handed a menu and once the waiter came back I placed my order and the food came astonishingly quickly and I was very impressed. The same with the mains, I had lasagne and it was delicious. I skipped dessert because I was full with the first 2 courses so I asked for the bill. I was surprised that there was an additional 10% service charge added, not obviously marked as optional. This seems very weird in England, the staff should be paid well already, I'm getting service because I came to a restaurant so not sure why I pay extra to the already restaurant marked up prices. Very American and no idea why you cant just add the service price in the prices of food. Would make much more sense. I'm happy to give the waiting staff a tip if they did a good job, which they did, but don't ask me for it, or put it on the bill that's just down right cheeky! Was not impressed at this policy and should not be randomly adding charges for things you already expect when going to a restaurant. I'm glad they didn't charge me a cutlery charge for using their knife and fork. Other than this, it was a positive experience and the food was great. Thanks."

"it is a warm welcoming pub in a light location, with free parking on the street, including disabled parking. decoration is a mix of traditional and modern, with outside seats, various parts of the pub give different atmosphere, great place to come together for every occasion. half the type of pub has steps that have warn stickers and labels, but still a little dangerous with drinks and with children and /or older, but there are many pills and seats before u enter the stage areas. toilets are above, not sure whether any disabled toilets below? good and drinks menus are decent, big teller and tasty eating, have a series of everything for all, including vegan menu, as I don't vegan, so can not comment on the menu and eat. very little staff in the night we went (service) the waitress was really friendly, polite helpful and well maintained for all our needs. pub in these days closes quite early, we were told in 2130, but we stayed until 2200, since it was quite a big one together at night outside. one of the most important things is a dog friendly pub, has water dishes and cookies for dogs. overall it is a beautiful pub"

"Wouldn't go here again! Definitely not the best pizza express in the chain. A whole section of the back of the restaurant was so dark I could barely read my menu. Apparently the light bulbs were out...so not sure why you were placing people there. It was freezing cold with a massive draft coming from the windows. Food was just ok, bland pizza with no real taste to it and grand chicken caeser salad was not grand at all..one tiny tiny pot of sauce on the side and dry cold chicken (it would be nice to have hot or warm chicken at least! The toilets were absolutely disgusting. Only two cubicles and they looked like a festival loo with mess everywhere. Made you think why did I eat out."

"I have never given a one-star review to a restaurant before, and I am usually skeptical of those who do. However, the service at this restaurant was so poor that we ended up leaving without even eating. We were seated promptly and given menus, but then we were completely ignored for 40 minutes with no one even taking our drink orders. Another party went in to complain during this time, and the table next to us received the wrong bill. Eventually, my husband had to go in and politely ask if our order could be taken. We placed our order, including drinks, but nothing ever arrived. I tried to get the attention of the waitress to no avail. After another 15 minutes, a young man came over and asked if we wanted to place our order again, as there was no record of it. Feeling frustrated and hungry, we decided to leave as we didn't want to wait another hour for our food. I'm sure the food would have been good, but the front-of-house organization at this restaurant needs serious improvement."

"we had a table where were in a good place isolated from other tables. we chose bratbeef that came quite fast, but was only luke warm so that the waitress was more than happy to take it away. minutes later we have. all new tellers of foods that were much hotter and the bratkartoffeln and yorkshire were crispy. However, the bark was not good, about was very chewing and unusable. we didn't mention it to the waiter. we shared sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice that was good."

"café tarte is one of these little gems, of which I almost do not want them to know and save it for myself and myself. tee served in caffe tarte is a special mix that the personal does not quite know what is in it itself. the baked cheesecake came in a thick watte. it smells like it's fresh from a hot oven. a chocolate-brown color on the outside with a soft crumbling floor, the filling was slightly fluffy and very smooth with a hauch of blueberries."

"Visited this Pizza Express for the first time in a while for a meal before going to the Hexagon. The service we received was first class with our waitress Monikah very friendly and efficient. The restaurant was quite quiet when we first arrived but by...the time we left was very busy with theatre goers, we still received the same service although Monikah was rushed off her feet. The food was very good and arrived in appropriate time. We received the bill in good time and were able to take a leisurely walk to the Hexagon and not be rushed. Well done to all at Pizza Express. The carbonara pizza was superb, best pizza I have had in a long time."

"Dined here Saturday 8th June, birthday dinner. 4 of us for dinner. 2 meals OK but 2 were very bland. Also extremely small portions of spaghetti carbonara. Table booked for 7.30 eventually got served at 9.00! Hour and a half bit extreme! Waitresses nice and were apologetic about our lengthy wait."
