"Recently visited San Lorenzo, an Italian restaurant, and unfortunately, it seems to be going in the wrong direction. I have been a regular customer for many years and have always enjoyed the food in the past. The experience was just okay during the starters, although they were not fantastic. However, when my partner ordered a carbonara for the main course, it was completely inedible. The sauce had curdled and looked disgusting. When the waitress asked if everything was alright, my partner mentioned that it wasn't great. Instead of simply accepting the comment and offering a replacement, the waitress engaged in a strange exchange, trying to explain how a traditional carbonara should be made. Firstly, a traditional carbonara does not include cream, which was heavily present in the dish we were served. Additionally, the sauce was clearly not prepared correctly, as it was difficult to miss. It was disappointing that the chefs let such a poorly made dish leave the kitchen. The pasta was also overcooked and turned to mush. I used to love this restaurant, but it is clear that it is now on a downward trend. Basic customer service should involve accepting feedback and offering apologies or replacements, rather than lecturing customers. The waitress's attempt at a lecture was frustrating, especially since the information provided was incorrect. A simple apology would have sufficed."

I recently had a terrible experience at this restaurant - the food was absolutely terrible. When I complained, it seemed as though the staff did not want to hear it, as one worker said to another...

Was booked for my grandaughters birthday the staff were fantastic and the owner is a fast draw artist, drew a picture of my grandaughter and she was chuffed. Also the food was first class. Can't wait to go back.

The pizza was absolutely delicious and the service was great for the price. Our only issue was with the limited options on the menu included in the offer. There were only 5 pizza and 5 pasta options, with no main menu full of appetizers, desserts, etc. Despite this confusion, we still had a wonderful time!

I treated a friend for their birthday at this restaurant. Despite not being very busy, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff's recommendations were fantastic. We loved it so much that we practically licked our plates clean. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
