"After hearing so many good reviews from friends and family about this place I was really excited to go with a good friend for a catch up. Regret to say I was so bitterly disappointed. We sat and the restaurant was full at 7pm when we arrived. Our server asked about our drinks quite quickly and we hadn't even had a chance to look at the menu. It then took a further 10 minutes before our order for drinks was taken. Our food order was taken quickly after that and came out about 10 minutes after ordering. I found it really odd that the pasta I ordered only had four bits of pasta in it, but it was a really nice dish. After that Is when it started to get a bit uncomfortable. It was very clear they were busy and so were really really pushy about getting us to finish. My friend hadn't even put his fork down before the server took his plate from him. We laughed it off and tried to ignore it but it happened again with the bread, taken half finished and we hadn't even had half of the olives we ordered before they were taken away without him asking if we had finished with them. I wouldn't have minded if we had been there for hours but it was 8pm by this point and we had our table at 7pm. It had barely been an hour before what we felt like we were pushed out the door. The bill was given without us asking for it before we had finished our wine (still having half a bottle and two full glasses) and then the card machine was brought over again without us giving any indication that we were ready. I would understand if they had another reservation after us but if that was the case it would have been good to know, or we wouldn't have booked there if this was how we were going to be treated. We then went out for drinks elsewhere and something to eat as the portions were laughably small for the price. Don't think I would return again. Such a shame for a place with a very good reputation."

Superb service and fantastic food. Mid week and a really good atmosphere. Quality , fresh food served with a smile and knowledgable wine recommendations. Also stayed over in one of their guest rooms...quirky and spotless.

Managed to get a last minute reservation on a weekday evening, staff helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, the 3 small plates offer is enough to share between 2 people on the side of a main. Chicken with mushroom was lovely.

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant, with a warm and friendly owner and staff including Massimo, Alessandro, and Lauren. They took great care of us, especially considering one of our group had a severe nut allergy. The food was amazing! We will definitely be booking again when we come to visit our daughter at university.

Encouraging to see a restaurant busy mid week, we called in on the off chance and were seriously impressed. The Leicestershire area has been missing a decent Italian since the old owners of Ferraris retired. Every dish that came out the kitchen was piping hot, superbly presented and what we tried all tasted fresh. Make sure you leave room for dessert the Tiramisu was stunning Drink prices are very reasonable along with a friendly team of staff. Highly recommend

I dined at this restaurant last night with friends, and unfortunately, my suggestion left us all feeling slightly disappointed. Each of us ordered different dishes, but we all felt that the portion sizes were lacking. I have eaten here before and never encountered this issue, so I suspect that the portions may have been reduced to keep prices competitive. Personally, I would prefer to pay a bit more for a more satisfying meal. Despite this, the food was excellent, but the portion sizes were a downside. The restaurant had a good amount of staff who provided excellent service. Additionally, it's worth noting that a service charge was included in the bill, although it was not clearly stated, le...

This is without doubt the worst dining experience I have ever had. It is only the second time I have ever been served food of such poor quality that I was unable to eat it and I eat in restaurants regularly. Once I Informed the host about my problem he was frankly rude and, although he grudgingly offered me an alternative, he was clearly trying to say that the problem was mine rather than something wrong with the food. The same person became rude to the point of being aggressive when we paid and left. I have waited nearly a week before posting this review to ensure that it is properly considered rather than an immediate reaction, so this is my view in the cold light of day. We ate at this re...

We had an overnight stay in Loughborough on our way to Manchester. I checked out TripAdvisor and booked this restaurant off the back of it/ We booked for 8.15 and found the very small bar/waiting area packed. We were told on arrival that they needed another ten minutes. Now I'm not sure how long we waited but it probably was half that before we were seated. The decoration of the restaurant was very nice and the place had a real energy and buzz which created a great atmosphere. We were served promptly taking our drinks orders. This restaurant has one of my pet hates and that is only bottled beer. However it was iced cold and served promptly. We ordered our mains and some sides. I have to say...

"Wow. The the quirky situation is a fabulous first impression. The friendly greeting made us feel so welcome. The attention to hygiene and protection made us feel safe. The self explanatory simple online ordering system was fun with the opportunity to personalise your order where...possible. The service was kind, thorough and knowledgeable. The food was flavoursome, fresh and inventive. I’m a vegetarian- in a burger place and enjoyed my choices. This is by far not my first visit here. They do change things up and keep it interesting. I was with my 12 year old child and partner on a spontaneous trip after the cinema. It was the perfect fit for a grown up and fun occasion. I requested a surprise cocktail as my second drink. Mr Tim Garratt completely blew my mind. He is an expert professional craftsman mixologist extraordinaire. I don’t know this but think he reviewed my previous cocktail to give him and indication of my taste. In a shake a mysterious mesmerising delicate pink coloured cocktail in the perfect glass encased in a mystical bubble was presented to me. I was hypnotised. When the bubble burst it was the beginning not the end of this exotic experience. The fragrance was intriguing, a mist swirled out of the glass towards me. The temperature was perfectly cool and inviting. The taste was idyllic. Subtle, refreshing, delicate, alive and the best drink I have ever ever tasted. I didn’t savour it, I lived it and loved it and it was gone so quickly. I instantly ordered another. This cocktail was a grapefruit and cucumber daiquiri. To me there’s nothing finer. All 3 of us had a memorable experience and exciting different brave flavours. Everything about Slider Town Loughborough @slidertownloughbouough is individual and excellent. By the way it is bizarre coincidence that we share the same last name. I have no connection to anyone @slidertownloughborough but would be happy to!"
