"with its cozy atmosphere and the simple but tasty menu selection there is a real authenticity to this restaurant. it is one of the best Italian meals I had without leave! there was a good vegetarian selection and the daily specials gave extra choice on the menu. my friend and I enjoyed a really hearty meal with the pleasant house red wine and the total cost were surprisingly reasonable. Overall, I was impressed by the quality of food, service and price-performance ratio; will definitely be next time when I am in the opposite."

Lovely Italian feeling and the food was very good, as was the service albeit maybe a bit to quick. One negative was the affogato had hardly any amaretto in it.

last night at lunch, as we often do when visiting shrewsbury. this place is a small hidden gem. great eating and ambiente at a very reasonable price. was not sure if I should make an assessment if we can't get a table next time. If you love everything Italian, you will love it here.

I wasn't sure I had made the right choice when I was coming. they are attacked by what looks like the back room of a village hall, and open into a room with an obviously very different past. but eating is just everything they could wish. no siblings, no need, just a short menu of genuine Italian food. it was great. the wild boar special is just that. I'm back.

"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."
