"Visit again... 2024 did a lunchtime visit and wow was lovely, really nice. Felt like a personal service, food as always. Hot full of flavour. Good size portions. Fantastic evening. In short .... Lasagna, vegetable pesto pasta and carbonara. They do have the proper names. Lasagna was a good size made in the traditional way. Full of meat which isn't all the case in a lot of places ... Gino shows them how they should be made full of flavour, they didn't kill it with cheese. The veg, pesto pasta daughter is a fussy one and worse with textures but the good is just right ... Full of peppers packed with flavour. Again a good size portion. Carbonara... Creamy pots with flavour. Lots of bacon. Really good size portion. If you're going to go, go hungry... Where did it get out of garlic bread fries . Food piping hot. I have to say I feel we paid the right price for the food. The venue was clean and the staff was attentive. One thing would say is they could loose a table or two just to off a little more space I know it reduces foot fall but you did feel a little sat on down stairs. The number of times ppl caught my chair or rubbed past.... if you was of any size some areas down stairs may make you feel uncomfortable. . Don't let that out you off it's worth going x"

I love this place, the food is amazing really, really delicious. But there is a VERY rude waitress I am pretty sure her name is Lydia who on the 3 occasions I’ve been in, has ruined our experience. The last occasion she gave our reserved table away and when I arrived for our reservation she couldn’t care less. We were on time and regulars. Dismissive and rude, like I was the problem. I’d give this place a 5 out of 5 but that member of staff is a problem.

Have been a couple of times in the last fortnight. Once as a couple and twice with friends so feel we have a rounded view. Firstly the staff are excellent, professional but sufficiently distant, engage them and they respond, indicate you want distance and they respond accordingly. The food on all 3 visits was excellent and over 3 visits we had tested that menu. No dish was unsatisfactory. Wine was also particularly good. Pleases to note that the discretionary service tax was actually paid direct to staff. Would recommend.

Worth the walk up Steep Hill for! I was not prepared for the steepness of Steep Hill and we were a few minutes late for our booking as I had to stop to grab my breath. By the time I got to Ginos I was starving, and I’m glad there was a generous menu to start with. We shared the garlic cheese pizza (delish! and my bruschetta was spot on. Full of flavour. I tried the calzone and I wasn’t disappointment, my partner had the risotto. Rounded of with the house tiramisu (I’d have happily had a bucket full, super tasty . Both of our serving staff were very pleasant, previous reviews suggest they could be more engaging, but I prefer a calmer waiting staff. As for not announcing the food, I’m quite ca...

"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."
