"I came into the lovely one right on Fulham road. Dare I say, the English breakfast tea at Nero’s is the best I’ve ever tasted, strong but not bitter, zesty but not sourish (completely succumbs other “luxury brands” like tea pigs and Twinings . The lady serving me poured a bit too much milk so I kindly asked her to make me another one with the consequence of having to pay for another one as I reached for my card. However, she did not stop for a moment, nor did she ask me to pay and swiftly made another one within seconds. Not only that but she poured me a generous amount of milk in a nespresso like cup for me to pour. I was impressed, full stop. Efficient, polite and professional. Wonderful. I had just come from an intensive study session from rival company Pret so was not my usual sharp self and proceeded to take out the teabag at the counter (where I would usually go to the small side one that accommodates milk, sugar, etc. . This lovely lady brought out a plate (that the eat in people have the luxury of and allowed me to place the teabag on it once I was done. It’s such a shame that I cannot remember her name to thank her individually. Anyhow, hopefully from this review, this particular branch can get full recognition and credit for their super staff and the services they provide."

"Incredibly disappointing. Nothing inventive here, just going through the paces and picking up tourists like us in the process. not sure how they garner the reviews they do. There was nothing wrong with our food, it was all prepared adequately, served adequately...but for what it was, we could have done much, much better! I 'm just disappointed to have wasted one meal in here, when we could have gone to a real artisan gem. Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk."

"Lovely experience overall, our waiter was friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations for food. We went straight after work (just before 6.30 on a Thursday) so it was a little busy but not overcrowded. A mixed crowd as there were families, couples, friends solo diners younger kids were a little loud but not a huge issue I’d say as everyone’s chatting! Great value for money overall as we had wine, starter and a big main which was all under £25 would recommend and would go again!"

"After being loyal customers for 7 years, we will never return to this restaurant. Despite requesting a reservation and a high chair for my baby, we arrived to find the chair given to someone else and an empty table prepared for another family. The manager insisted he had to know the mother of the other family in order to give them the chair. Who says that in the hospitality industry? All customers should be valued. Thankfully, there are many other good Italian restaurants in the area. We are extremely disappointed and do not feel appreciated as regular customers. Perhaps we were not as valued as we thought by this establishment."

"Spacious Italian restaurant providing a seperate vegan menu (you have to ask for it). Also, you can filter all vegan dishes on the menu on their homepage. The range isn't huge, but there are some decent pizza and pasta dishes for vegans to be fair. Popular with families. Reasonable priced. Average vegan cheese. The pizza could be bigger as far as I am concerned. However, good taste all in all. The lentil rague was pretty nice, too. Yet, the vegan desserts were a disappointment. Either some ice creme (small portion, expensive) or a sweet dessert calzone (not my taste at all really). You would think there isn't any huge difference between this branch and the other one on Regent st. However, I had another experience. Firstly, I was given the worst table (although there weren't many customers there), namely the one closest to the door, where people were going in and out all the time and where it was cold. Furthermore, the toppings on my pizza were a complete joke. Lastly, I didn't get a pizza knife. Sadly many people order meat dishes, that are carried around the place all the time, also it smells. Good choice for vegan pizza or pasta, family-friendly place, service is much better on Regent st though."

"fodmap friendly restaurant! the menu is full of garlic and wobble free, which was good to find. Although the items provided with gluten were not specifically marked, we could tell the personal what was suitable and if possible left the bread pieces on the side, so that both I and the rest of the table could enjoy it. we had a one-pot that was absolutely delicious and tried several of the cheese. it was so pleasant to go to a restaurant where we could order several dishes for the table and I could eat 80% of what we had ordered. I do not think that most of the foods in themselves was excellent, but for everyone on the fodmap diet (although obviously there is quite a lot of lactose if they want to go for the main attraction when they ate meat, I still think they would be good.) the staff was attentive, friendly and very careful to make it clear what I could/can not eat. a great meal with tellers for 5, with two beers, two soft drinks, 5 little gloomy and a coffee came to about £150, so I don't think that's too bad at all. I would like to see some gluten-free brot though! wheelchair access: a small step into the restaurant that was perfectly manageable in a high chair, tables are good for driving under, but the toilet is above."

"Visiting on business trip and decided to try this restaurant out. The food was good but there was a lack of engagement from staff, we are used to excellent customer service from other local restaurants. We were offered water and accepted but believed this was complimentary due to how it was offered, we were astonished to find out we had been charged around £5. It should have been made clear that there was a charge for this. The food,albeit good, took a while to arrive with little interaction from the staff who appeared to be chatting amongst themselves. We were further shocked and surprised by the service charge on the bill. This is not so.ething we are used to or have experienced before, as I say, we are visiting on business. I have since learned that this is optional and we could have refused it but this was not made clear and we felt forced to pay it. All in all this visit left us feeling somewhat disappointed and underwhelmed. Please be more clear with what is being charged for and the options to those expected to pay!"

"Late lunch on a very cold day in Winchester. So silly cold today that they had radiators to help customers. Asked for one to be moved closer... no problem! Anyway, as usual the food was excellent, the service nicely attentive, and the food... excellent! Friendly staff, and in the cold they were dressed in some nicely warm clothing. Honestly though, a nice place for a relaxed pizza and a couple of glasses of wine. Highly recommended!"
"we have never set ourselves right, because the button movement on the reservation leads them to the spaghetti house on the goodge street, not to the restaurant on the sicilian avenue. the goodge street restaurant could not accommodate us (and were very rude) and we had no time to make it into the other restaurant, because of a theatre booking. we tried to ring, but they didn't pick up! eating and ambiente may be great, but their phone, email and communication skills are appalling. a nice pub that made a nice cake. not the pasta we had hoped for!"

"I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and have not experienced any major reactions. The pizza is cooked in a shared oven, increasing the risk of cross contamination. However, there are other menu options such as salad and burrata available. The pizza is delicious and the overall food quality is excellent."

"I had a wonderful evening at Carluccio's—my first time dining there. I initially booked a table for 12 three days before my 50th birthday, but after being surprised with a party, I adjusted it down to 6 and then 3. Despite the changes, the meal was delightful; I ordered the chicken with white wine sauce and requested a small amount just in case I didn’t like it, but it turned out to be delicious. There were no complaints about my last-minute changes to the reservation; the staff, especially the manager, were incredibly nice and friendly. I will definitely return soon and highly recommend this restaurant!"

"If it was possible to score no stars I would our food order was very disappointing the food did not arrive all together, of the 4 meals ordered the gluten free pizza arrived 5 mins later than the others. Of the food that arrived first the two calazone pizzas only had filling towards one half (almost as if folded incorrectly) and the other salmon dish was stone cold. The salmon dish was taken away and we waited over 30 mins for a hot replacement as you can guess despite being a ‘priority order’ the staff telling us over and over again “just 5 mins” 30 mins is totally unacceptable. Bedford has a plethora of fantastic Italian restaurants this chain will not get our custom again."

"The restaurant was extremely quiet and the main dishes took a long time to be served. When they finally arrived, the side dishes were cold, which was surprising considering there were only 6 people in the restaurant. The steak was flavorful but a little tough. The service was not very good, as we had to repeatedly ask for water. The staff was accommodating in taking items off the bill for being cold, but overall I would not return to this restaurant."

"My wife and I make it a point to have a meal out at least once a month. Our previous experiences at this restaurant have been very good. We started with appetizers as usual, but when I ordered a medium rare filet steak, it came out well-done. I was disappointed to hear the staff try to convince me that it was cooked to the correct temperature. I shouldn't have to explain the difference between medium rare and well-done. Eventually, they replaced my steak with a medium rare one, but only after my wife had finished her meal."

"We were a little disappointed that the restaurant did not do anything special for the occasion (we were celebrating our son's 6th birthday). In other restaurants, we have had waiters sing the birthday song or bring out a cake for the birthday child, but at Zizzi nothing special was done. It was obvious that it was a birthday celebration, as we had noted this on the reservation and the waiter even asked if we were the birthday party. Overall, it was quite disappointing."
