"This restaurant in Lincoln serves the best wood-fired pizza. I would even consider it one of the best in Italy! Simone, the host, is incredibly friendly and you can truly feel the passion he has for this place. The staff are also kind, friendly, and competent, showing their own passion for what they do. Simone offers a wide range of menu options with ingredients of the highest quality, sourced locally when possible. The restaurant perfectly combines Italian tradition with the flavors of Lincolnshire. This is definitely my favorite place to eat!"

Stumbled across the great little cafe by chance. Best coffee I've had in quite a while.

Love Cafe Portico staff, food, secret supper club, music nights..... Breakfast (the best scrambled eggs in town), lunch, quick coffee/cup of tea alone or with family/friends just fabulous.

Marianne

Fantastic salad options with infinite choices of toppings. I went for chicken, mozzarella and avocado with roast veg...so delicious. Top marks Portico as I have so often found salads to be a wet lettuce affair.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The food and atmosphere are wonderful. However, I was let down to see a dog inside. I do not have any issues with dogs, but I do not want to feel obligated to be around them while I am trying to enjoy my meal.

Jake Koffman UK Quartet evening.... the Tuscan pork and bean casserole is always amazing so the Saltimbocca alla romana was pick of the night following the lentil soup.....as expected it was all wonderful. Another great evening of food, wine, live music last night at Caffè Portico.

I made a reservation for dinner here and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is off the beaten path, so it didn't seem to attract too many tourists. The food was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to book for our last night in the city.

We hired out Caffe Portico to celebrate a 30th birthday, from the time we made the booking to the end of the evening celebrations the staff did all they could to make the celebrations go without a hitch and accommodated our music, lights and dancing! Delicious freshly made pizzas were brought out throughout the night. Thank you Sim and the team x

"From the outside, it looks like another tacky eatery in a street lined with tacky takeaways. Walk through the door and pleasantly surprised. A little deli counter, a back room then a garden. The garden overlooks a derelict abandoned overgrown garden. Not a problem, I am used to this in Athens. What is the problem, and I don’t see in Athens, tenants throwing rubbish out of their windows into the garden. It is ideal breeding ground for rats. The local environmental health should investigate, and if needed carry out enforcement action. To sit outside or not? Maybe too cool when the sun went in, and too hot if it came out as no shade. I decided to sit inside, near the back door. A red rose on the table is a neat touch. I was the only diner. Oh but we were busier earlier. Strange how I am always told, if you’d have been here when you weren’t here, we were busy. The menu was singurly uninspiring. Why panini’s? Everywhere does paninis. I have never understood why. Or pasta. The choice penne (which I don’t like), or spaghetti (which I dislike slightly less) I chose spaghetti Bolognese. It arrived seemingly quick. I was asked when I placed my order, did I wish for Parmesan cheese? It was added in the kitchen. Usually brought to and added at the table. Spaghetti Bolognese is not an Italian dish. It was an artificial dish with elements of North and South. The spaghetti mediocre at best, the Bolognese sauce excellent. I was going to leave but decided to stay. I chose tiriamasiu for dessert. Coffee, Illy, no thanks. For coffee walk to Madame Waffle or Coffee Aroma. I visited a couple of weeks ago, the previous week I found closed."

"It was my first time to Spanish restaurant... It was good and nice experience. First I loved the atmosphere, the place, small, cozy and warm not loud at all really quiet and I had nice time with my partner. The food was really tasty, original Spanish, Mediterranean cuisine. Not too much spicy and big selection of wines and fantastic sangria. Try the second set menu, I recommend that and the eggplant... ! The service was ok and fast!

"We always have a great meal here. Kine is a little bit different to a lot of restaurants around Lincoln. It totally has it 's own style and vibe. The menu is very compact, with just a handful of starters, mains and deserts. But... That is precisely why I like it. Each option (and I have been 3 times now) is well crafted, full of flavour and just a little bit different AND totally accesible. Everything option feels special, but not intimidating. The battered green beans are incredible, the n 'duja mac 'N ' cheese balls are great, the spiced koftas are full of flavour. The vege options are just as appealing and tasty as the meat options, which for me is an excellent reflection on the creativity and talent of the team. The front of house staff are accomodating, charming, polite and fun and the whole vibe has a bit of the je ne sais quoi about it. For a meal out for a couple, or small group who appreciate good honest and interesting food, I would highly recommend it. Vegetarian options: Great selection of vegetarian meals, which are just as tasty as the meat options. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Key Lime Pie, Crispy Tempura Green, Salted Caramel Macadamia Chocolate Tart, Tempura Green Beans and Roasted Cauliflower Hummus, Ras El Hanout Spiced Koftas Recommendation for vegetarians Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings Vegetarian menu or section, Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes"

"I visited the Hub Cafe at the IBCC with my daughter for Sunday lunch. I had heard good reports, but was blown away by the quality of the food and the friendly service. We had roast lamb (cooked to perfection) with roast potatoes, brocolli, carrots, creamy mash, and a giant Yorkshire pudding to rival my late Mother's. The portions were very generous leaving no room for dessert. It's not what you expect, The Hub Cafe far exceeds expectations and is well worth a visit for Sunday lunch, corporate and family events. One word sums it up...Superb"

"we had the most delicious meal in this fabulous restaurant last night and it was absolutely perfect. the food was presented as beautiful and tasted as good as it looked. knowing where the food comes was excellent. the nutritional needs appear to be well met when mentioned in advance. the decor, service and ambiente are all fault-free I manage in the rule not three courses, but could not resist the ingwerbread mousse with brombeereis. many thanks for an unforgettable evening, we will be back."
