"Owners need to sort this out. The review is regarding the deli only. I have visited multiple times for drinks and snacks on the go. The drinks are good. But my goodness the customer service is appalling. The staff there are so rude, they need training in customer service. Every time you go in, when you order you feel an inconvenience, they talk amongst themselves even when they are serving you especially when one is sat at the counter eating her lunch of breakfast. there is no eye contact. No friendly good morning or thank you. Just that’s £4.10. Really unprofessional. They don't even take care to remember your order. My partner goes in there multiple times a week and they never remember her order. She orders the same thing at least twice a week. No care or attention.say what you like about Costa and the likes but they remember your order. If it carries on I’ll avoid completely. Lots of other locals have said similar. Shame."

"1) Food Quality (4/5) The pizzas are very tasty, using excellent ingredients and a lovely tomato sauce. I have to rate 4/5 only because the pizzas always seem wet/sloppy in the middle. If the bread was crispy all the way across it would be 5/5. That said, I can live with it because the overall taste/experience is a delight 2) Food Range (4/5) A slightly more interesting and eclectic range than the usual pizza restaurant offerings. However, I would like to see some more meaty pizza options. Although I do appreciate this is a pizzeria, I would also welcome some high protein sides (for example, chicken goujons or meatballs) and kiddy friendly crudités for a more balanced meal, especially for family outings 3) Service (4/5) Service generally pretty good. Service can be a bit slow when dining in, and deliveries sometimes late 4) Atmosphere (4/5) A pleasant enough venue, with lovely ambience from the wood fired oven. Tables a bit narrow and chairs a little uncomfortable. Door is opened quite often (for deliveries/collections) meaning cold air blows in quite a lot 5) Value (5/5) Food is reasonably priced, especially given the high quality ingredients (way better than the big chains) 6) Overall Verdict (5/5) This little suburban restaurant is such a gem. It creates high quality pizzas with delicious, quality toppings. I like the fact that every pizza comes out a different, irregular shape, showing its rustic, hand made heritage 7) Got to try... Osina the greens, Friarielli, are unusual and give this pizza a wonderfully fresh, earthy edge. I hope this never comes off the menu"

"I visited Lussmann in April when they were revamping their menu and enhancing it with new flavors. Lussmanns Harpenden, located in an 18th-century former coach house with a view of Leyton Green, exudes a charming countryside atmosphere. Guests can enjoy outdoor dining in the enclosed garden and have private meals in a lovely first-floor room. We began with Passion Fruit Martini and Chapel Down Gin. Our appetizers included Red Lentil Soup and Thyme Roasted Beetroot, which were not only beautifully presented but also wonderfully tasty. For the main course, we savored Halibut, Corsican Slow-Braised Label Anglais Free-Range Chicken, and Sirloin Steak with fries. We also ordered Seasonal Market Vegetables and fries as sides. I must say every dish was meticulously prepared, expertly combined, and served at the perfect temperature. The steak, in particular, was excellently cooked to a medium rare, just as I had requested. To conclude our outstanding meal, we indulged in Pineapple Carpaccio and Sweet Bitter Orange Brûlée, accompanied by a delightful cup of espresso. Our waitress, Jaida, was exceptionally cheerful and attentive, and the manager, Michael, was highly professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly. At the end of our fantastic dining experience, I had the privilege of personally thanking Chef Sergio, an affable young talent with a promising future. I want to extend my congratulations to Andrei for assembling such an incredible team. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to pay a visit to Lussmann in Harpenden for an exceptional dinner or lunch. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Best regards, Nick Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"We have eaten at Lussman's before and were pleased to go back for a celebration meal for my husband's birthday. Given a nice corner table. The starters were good but the mains choices were a little disappointing for my husband. He would have chosen the steak but only 10oz was on offer which was too big even for his good appetite. I wish that they, along with other restaurants, would offer alternative portion sizes. In the end he plumped for the chicken fricasee and really enjoyed it. I chose the cauliflower fritters but found that a bit disappointing, with a pile of indistinguishable ingredients on the plate, including the deep fried leeks which were just dry strips (I suppose I should have expected that! I can't eat things too dry and asked for some sauce. A red wine jus was duly delivered. The desserts were delicious. The service throughout was exceptionally good. Staff were welcoming, efficient and professional throughout, including when I became briefly unwell and had to take a break in the loo. (The food is absolutely not to blame. It is a digestive problem that flares up occasionally. Anyway, they were extremely helpful and solicitous. On departure they were also very good about ordering and then chasing a taxi which somehow failed to appear, standing outside with us to be sure it finally arrived. So, full marks for service and ambience, even if the food choices were a little disappointing. We will be back!"

"Just moved to Harpenden and delighted to have found a family friendly Italian restaurant with wonderful food and service. Wine list to die at amazing prices....a Barolo for £35!!! Pizza's were authentic and extremely tasty, great kids menu with a lovely touch of free bread sticks, garlic butter and pieces of small tomatoes and cucumber to get the taste buds going. Charlotte Neil have a lovely manner, welcoming and warm. I am half blind in my right eye and Charlotte made a conscious effort to serve me on my left so as not to surprise me. It is now our favourite place to go"
