"This place is beautifully decorated and looks fabulous. Yep, that's all I've got, oh, and the scallops were perfectly cooked.When we arrived I was looking forward to dining here. Upon opening the menu I was disappointed. There is a good range of starters but sadly, the mains lacked variety. Of dishes, are beef burgers, are steak and are fish. Ok if you like red meat but if you're vegetarian it seems you're out of luck. The scallops in my starter came done to a T' but unfortunately the big chunks of chorizo and undressed salad were not appealing. For my main I chose the dover sole filets. A delicate fish, it was way overcooked. They came heavily crumbed and deep-fried. The salad looked like it came straight out of a cooking show big pieces of tomato, cucumber sliced on an angle and again no dressing. A dry dish that not even the thick sauce' on the side could moisten. We decided against dessert and went for liqueur coffees instead. These arrived lukewarm and in a wine glass *sigh.At (incl. service) for people, courses each, liq coffees and a bottle of wine did I think it was money well spent? Not in my opinion. I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar and having a few cocktails but I would not return for the food.Just a note on the service too. Our bottle of wine stayed on the table in its bucket for the whole of our visit. We were left to top up ourselves whilst watching the staff leaning on their station most of the time with their arms folded having a catch-up and drinking hot drinks. When I go to a nice-looking place with these prices I expect at least attentive service and great food, unfortunately we didn't get either. Whilst our server was polite the skill was lacking."

"To me pizza is something that is very close to my heart. The amount of good memories I've had happened while having pizza with people. Often when I think of Pizza the emotions that come to mind are joy, hope, excitement , happiness. Yet last night when I sat there eating my pizza from La Stalla all I could feel was a blend of rage and sadness as well as the strong feeling that I had been deceived. I had paid 26 pounds for two vegetarian pizzas and an order of cheese garlic bread. I called up the place beforehand to inquire the amount of garlic bread pieces I would receive as well as the size of the pizza. Once I had received my takeaway and got home I opened the box and to my horror I only found two pieces of cheese garlic bread, the garlic bread looked quite sad and dry and resembled a toastie rather than a proper piece of Italian garlic bread. I then proceeded to open the pizza boxes and I had realised that I have been deceived, the pizzas that sat infront of me , they were not 12 inches. I grabbed my measuring tape and measured it as I knew this was not right . As I measuring I was hoping that I just looked at it wrong and that it was 12 inches , however my optimism was misplaced, the Pizza was in fact 8.5 inches on both pizzas. I decided to slice up the pizza and try to make the best out of a bad situation but the pizza sadly was nothing short of incredibly average. The pizza tasted the same as a frozen pizza, with a tasteless cardboard esque base, bland tomato sauce and cheese that very much felt like low quality heavily processed mozzarella. Overall , this was incredibly overpriced and truly just a miserable experience that I will not be returning to."
