"I had a wonderfully 21st century dining experience in this restaurant this evening; from being asked on arrival if I wanted to see the Vegan menu to being seated and asked if I had any allergies or special dietary requirements... I was told that my waitress would be either Beth or Sarah ? I never did find out which it was but that didn 't affect the quality of the food or service! then I was given a sensible amount of time to choose my food before an efficient and attentive if unknown waitress took my order. I ordered a bottle of Peroni Gran Riserva which was extremely tasty and started with crab arancini a new menu item which was delicate and flavoursome, especially with the addition of a squeeze of lemon, and then had a Diavolo pizza topped with spicy beef, pepperoni, green pepper, Tobasco sauce and a choice of hot pepper I had roquito with a side of broccolini tenderstem broccoli roasted with garlic and chilli which was perfectly cooked with a nice al dente crunch. I mused to myself that the broccolini should have been called scorpion stems as it 's certainly had a sting in the tale from the chillies ! and the pizza also knocked me backwards with its warmth, but I got used to it and it was very yummy. I had been expecting sweet roquito pearls but the more firey roquito peppers were a new experience for me. The entire meal was delicious I cleared every plate and it was easy to summon service so that I could get my bill and promptly pay and leave. The staff and especially the chef who took his time to come and explain to me that there was a difference between roquito peppers and roquito pearls, and that they used pearls on the salads. Personally, I think next time if I order another diavolo pizza, I will ask them to hold the Tabasco and swap the peppers for pearls but I can 't fault them for something I didn 't ask for! Bravo!"

The others had pizza, which some said was a bit overdone. My cannelloni was superb. But over £30 each for a beer and a pizza is rather dear. Mine was lemonade, expensive too.

The restaurant offers a separate vegan menu, which is great! I tried the vegan dough balls, and the butter they serve with them is amazing. I also had the vegan fungi Roma pizza, and it was incredible!

Always a family favourite, glad to see some offers are back on to make it better value for money. Food is always spot on and consistent, only down side is drinks are over priced. We go back time and time again View menu

During a reunion with friends and family, we dined at the Castleford location of the restaurant. Mel was our server, and she went out of her way to accommodate my dietary needs as a diabetic. Her friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. Thank you, Mel! We will definitely be back.

This was the best dining experience I've ever had! My waiters, Cyle and Lukas, were both charming and professional, providing some of the most memorable and wonderful service I've experienced in a long time. Anyone visiting Xscape should definitely dine here and, like me, consider leaving a generous tip at the end – these young men truly deserve it! View menu

We had an incredible 5-star experience from start to finish! Our group of nine was well taken care of by the servers, who were fantastic despite being quite busy at one point. They were always attentive, friendly, and engaging in conversation. The food and drinks were exceptional, and the loaded teigballs were simply phenomenal! It was the perfect way to celebrate our youngest’s 10th birthday. A big thank you to everyone, and we really appreciated being allowed to bring our own cake!

I ordered takeout from this restaurant, hoping for high-quality pizza since it’s an Italian establishment rather than a low-cost takeaway. Unfortunately, I was let down by the £15, 11-inch pizza I received. The dough was undercooked and soggy, and the fresh tomatoes on top were raw, which contributed to the overall sogginess of the pizza. The delivery was prompt, but the driver didn't bother to knock on my door; instead, he insisted that I meet him outside. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I requested a refund and was asked to provide photos of the pizza, but I haven't received any feedback since. I would have been better off buying a pizza from Aldi, which would have been tastier...
