"Finding good restaurants can be a challenge, but finding a great one to celebrate at is even harder. I stumbled upon one of the top restaurants in Edinburgh and was not disappointed! The portions were generous, the prices were affordable, and they even had charging ports which are a must-have nowadays. I would have given them 5 stars, but some of the servers were not very nice or attentive. However, I was lucky enough to be served by a very friendly gentleman who went above and beyond for me and the other customers. Overall, I highly recommend Scran and give them a 4 out of 5."

"the service and eating were restless. I sat myself and a hospitable, but it took twenty minutes to take our order for everyone. it then arrived another twenty-five minutes before our drinks; it was just two beers, so no complicated order. our meals (no appetizers were ordered) arrived an hour and ten minutes after sitting. my order, a relatiw simple order of chicken milanese was not hot, in which did hardly warm, although my guests meal was delivered hot. the only positive is that the 'side' of focaccia brot was good. in the fact our 'alone tabletime' of ninety minutes would not have been enough to eat our one cure! I could not recommend in any wise carluccio 's in leeds trinity, it was shockingly bad; eating somewhere else would be my advice."

"Il Principe Oxford, England. Authentic as pizza can get, Il Principe is well known amongst the locals and it should be better known to visitors. To thank the babysitter one day, there was a group decision for having pizza for dinner (what else to share? well, maybe fish and chips.. but where to go? After some negotiation and discussion, it was agreed upon for Il Principe. I had a cold at the time, so I stayed at the home base. From what I heard, the waiter there had a very strong Italian accent. Between six people, five pizza were ordered; quattro formaggi, vesuvio, napoli, parma and pesto Genovese. All five of them were good, for differing reasons some to varying degrees. By authentic, these pizzas had a thin base with few ingredients spread in a single and sparse layer on the pizza. This way, there is focus on the quality of the ingredients as well as the different flavours which contrast and interact. After this way, ideally there would not be going back to the pizza chains. For a four cheese pizza, the quattro formaggi was surpringly not overbearing. It was hard to detect the different types of cheese used but it was quite lovely to taste the different flavours. It would have been helpful if the menu told what the cheeses were to attempt detecting them better but it was a decent one, if the weakest of the lot. The vesuvio was advertised as hot underwhelming in that regard. Otherwise not bad, with a guaranteed dynamic of pepperoni, mushroom and chili oil. Parma was the surprise of the night, with the subtle flavours of parma ham and rocket mixed with the sharpness of parmaesan cheese. It was one that improved a second time around. The pesto genovese was pretty good, if a bit on the sloppy side. Tastes and ingredients here range from distinct and acquired to a bit strange for a pizza but the combination works exceptionally well. Finally, the winner of the night is the traditional and tried true napoli anchovies, olives and capers. Three salty and strong ingredients very familar to Italian cuisine. Combining these with good cheese and tomato and you have yourself a bone fide classic of Italian restaurants. This time was no exception. These pizzas were exceptional. I await going here on time, and anticipate eating their food. It is certain that I wish for a return."

"Visited when Manchester United were playing away so I could watch the game on TV as I ate dinner. One of the managers (I assume? was very friendly and came over to speak to us early on, which was a nice touch. Saw him doing this with other tables too. We were sat by a window and had a nice close up view of Old Trafford, which is right opposite. There was a fair bit of a wait for the food, but I didn't mind this at all, as I was more interested in the football! When it came out, three of the pizzas were wrong, but it was dealt with immediately. Again, I didn't mind too much as my priorities were elsewhere, but they were very apologetic and even went as far to say they were embarrassed. They offered to take the one correct meal away to be replaced with a fresh one at the same time as the rest, but my wife declined the kind offer. When the correct food came out, it was good. Nothing incredible, but pretty much the standard I expected. We were able to enjoy and take our time eating while we watched the game. Eventually when we asked for the bill, I noticed it seemed a lot lower than what I had expected. I asked if something had been taken off (too honest for my own good! . The server explained that they'd taken off 20% because of the earlier errors, which was very nice of them to be honest. They wouldn't have even mentioned it if I hadn't, which was classy of them."

"Fantastic ..... I took my husband for his birthday. It was our first time there. We were welcomed by all. Family run, so everyone is really friendly. Food was great. Fantastic valve. Plenty of meat going around. So much so we couldn’t eat another thing we were too full. The hot buffet was great, not over faced with food that been sat around too long. Regularly changed and topped up. Would recommend and will be back again soon."

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"

"The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with a lot of effort put into its design. However, I requested a quiet table away from the doors and was instead seated between a bustling kitchen entrance and three families with small children. The service is quite fast, matching the pace of the kitchen, which means that food arrives as soon as it's ready. This setup isn't ideal for four people dining together. Additionally, the app menu differs from the printed menu."

"I had an amazing experience coming to Pizza East near Ladbroke Grove. First of all, the pizza was amazing but in the beginning they mistaken my order because at first I wanted to have a pepperoni pizza and the friendly Slovakian waitress, Monika, thought I...meant red peppers on top of my pizza but I meant the red meat, pepperoni. I then told her after getting my first pizza that was mistaken and she felt very bad and sorry for me, I then explained what I really meant to have and i even showed both Monica and the cook a picture of the pizza I wanted. Then they remade the pizza for me and it turned out the way I exactly wanted! Because she felt bad Monica gave me the pizza they made a mistake on for me to take home for FREE! I thought this was very friendly for her to do this and afterwards we had a friendly conversation, and I told her I'm from United States but I come to London often and this actually was the night before my trip to Brussels and she wished me a good trip to Belgium and told me I must come back after my trip and after returning back to England I stopped by but unfortunately she wasn't working/there.I wish she had my contact. Overall I had an amazing experience and I am thankful I came here as this was my first time at this restaurant. AMAZING experience. I'll come back when I return back to UK in July 2020. Thank you."

"We had diner at Corner Room restaurant and we chose 5 courses tasting menu which was very disappointing.. Portions are very small not worth at all even for £39.. Croquettes were a pub style two small bites with no garnish.. Prawns risotto was a joke imagine table spoon of risotto and 4 extra small srimp on a top... Lamb came as a two small chops with aubergine puree and raw radish.. taste was bitter and flavourless... Almond gazpacho soup was fabulous and portion size was good. Custard with poached plums and crumbs was okay but not my cup of tea.."

"This was not our first visit,we went on a Saturday night,there was live music and after us became very busy. The music level was a bit too loud. We ordered our food, unfortunately the lamb shank was off the menu, so chose an alternative, my husband’s arrived but mine after he had nearly finished and I had finally caught the waitresses eye! When she arrived with it, she said it was very busy but would remove the side salads from the bill. So my true reply would yes/no to recommend as would think twice about rebooking"

"Albion’s has become our family’s go to restaurant of choice for breakfast, brunch and family dinners. We are always greeted warmly and tables arranged to suit that day’s requirements. It is particularly nice to be able to sit in the back garden area when the weather permits. We have been up and down the various menus and have found the standard of both ingredients and cooking very high. Our grandchildren especially enjoy the deep fried (real) fish fingers and the mussels, whilst the rest of us have enjoyed almost everything else, with the chicken salad and the butternut squash risotto being worthy of a special mention. The desserts, particularly the Eton Mess, are so good that they are selected even when not needed for nutritional purposes. We enjoy a range of drinks, without yet having really got to grips with the wine list, although their Malbec is very “slippery”! Overall I highly recommend it for family dining."

"Fantastic food terrible staff except the manager who was lovely. On entry I went to the bar as no one was about. I was greeted with “yes”, I said I had a table for two booked for 50th birthday. I expected to be shown to a table but she just waved her arm in the air and said, sit where you like. RUDE. No one came to ask if we wanted a drink so again had to go and find someone. I asked the manager for a cocktail menu which he bought me. Still no one came to take my order so I called across to the bar to ask for a cocktail and was told I could only have what was on tap. So I said, what’s the point of giving me a cocktail menu then. I told her the manager gave me the menu, she went off in a huff muttering what sounded like, well I’m not doing it, but I can’t be sure. She came back and said, ok you can have one then, which the manager made for me. Which I might add was lovely. The service didn’t get any better from the waitress’s and bar maid. I pointed out that they had an ant problem as they were crawling over the window sill. I took photos, they said the ants were attracted to my cocktail. Having said all that the food was excellent, so if you don’t mind the attitude of staff it’s worth going for the tasty food. It’s a beautiful setting and lovely building."

"I had high expectations going into Carluccio's, as it's in a wonderful location and is a beautiful, ambient restaurant. Myself and my S.O went on a Thursday night, and there were only a few other couples in there, making it very quiet and the service on point. Our waiter was, however, hard to understand because he maintained a very low speaking volume which came across as a nuisance. I didn't think there was a huge amount of choice on the menu, but we still managed to pick out things we liked. I treated myself to the Summer Garden soft drink (apple, elderflower, and mint lemonade), and it was delicious. Like a softail Mojito, very refreshing and zingy! The food, I must say, was pretty disappointing. My Sicilian Arancini starter (fried rice balls stuffed with mozzarella) just tasted odd. There's no real way to describe it, the flavours and textures weren't marrying, it was bland but also left a bitter aftertaste. Very strange, give this one a miss. For mains, my S.O's beef ragu was delicious! He wasn't fond of the al dente linguine but I thought it was perfect. I had the seafood linguine, a dish I've had at other places, and by comparison it was a little lacking. The shellfish were cooked to perfection and it was a great size serving, but again the overall flavour was bland. I would be willing to give Carluccio's as a whole another chance in future, but will be trying different dishes the next time around."

"Foods gone royally down thy hill. Came for pizza a year ago and we loved it, great everyday pizza. Atmosphere was good and a few decent beers on tap. This all remained the same besides the food they no longer serve pizza but have pizza signs plastered on the walls. We ordered garlic bread, it turned up as garlic bread stick, and they were bogin. The fries, also bogin. A real shame. Coming for drinks and bar games is a big yes, for food a big oldddd nope. I wasn 't going to mention the toilets but... Holy moly, my friend asked where they were and I said use your nose . He found them alright. Shocking, infact, disgusting. The 2 stars is for the service and atmosphere alone very good."

"great service and good food. very enjoyed the bao bungalows chose crab and they were delicious (also a funny challenge to eat due to the sheer size.) the wood meat was good. not sharp on the dumplings, as they were quite wet, she did not personally enjoy sitting in kondiments. please with the panna cotta dessert. I would also like to stress the service of a certain person who was friendly enough to first check that the tellers were finished before they were taken away, this was very appreciated and saved the abhorrence of most other experiences where the meals are taken away before they are finished."

"We visited here for a family dinner on my daughters recommendation, service was good food was served fairly quickly although it was not served together as requested. Food was tasty, good home comforting food. Quite noisy but obviously that depends on who else is dining at the same time. My starter of paprika chicken pancake was tasty but only warm rather than hot but maybe it's meant to be. Overall it was good but quite expensive for what it was."

"Fun, tastey. The rainbow salad is fantastic too. Just a shame it's expensive for junk food and very very little service as predominantly help yourself which for the money, certainly seems an expensive experience and we spend less in top cafes for example. Fun once or twice a year though"

"Monday night and only two other tables occupied all evening. Very quiet. Took up OpenTable offer for two/three-course meal off the set menu but, Oh! how disappointing. No meat options at all, just tomato sauces on pasta. My children could have cooked better. So, inevitably, we went onto the full menu and had perfectly pleasant pasta with salmon sauce that was the day 's special for £10. From the list of salads we selected tomato salad and a bowl of freshly cut tomatoes dressed duly turned up with no further ado. Trade Descriptions could not have faulted it. But, again, my children could have prepared them in a more imaginative way. Service was charming and attentive, almost apologetic. They do not write the fixed price menu! Overall, a really below-average Italian meal in a rather dreary 'fast food ' looking restaurant on Baker Street, of all places! Really, although what was cooked was fine judged by nursery standards, it was an insult to Italian cooking. Cheap as chips and not as good."
