DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY!!!! Boy do I have a story for you. I enter this charming…read morerestaurant on a Wednesday night with my family. We order a couple starters, including arancini and meatballs. I have a severe nut allergy, so we alerted the server as always. Once the starters had arrived, I asked the server if everything was nut free. He acted shocked and then told me he would check. He returned shortly with the good news that everything was safe. I had two arancini, which were good, but I still felt uneasy about the sort of careless attitude the server had. I started to get really anxious, so decided to ask the server one more time. He came back to me saying "I made a mistake". He showed me the chart which said the arancini DID in fact contain nuts. I began to freak out while he checked with the kitchen to see which nuts were in the food. He came back saying there were no nuts actually, so the chart was WRONG, but that I couldn't eat anything else except the salad I had ordered, "just in case." There was nothing taken off our bill, even though our server was extremely negligent. I do not know if other things on that chart are inaccurate, so please steer clear of this restaurant if you have any allergies or intolerances.

The calamari came in french fries style and was quite chewy, wouldn't order again. The burrata cheese&meat plate was decent, the polenta sticks are quite flavorful. If we ended ag appetizers I'd say this is a 2.5-3 star place, but once we got the clam pasta that was phenomenal. Fresh pasta was cooked perfectly. We ordered beef ragu which was also just as great, paired with tomato salad and the meal was saved! We also got their pizzas twice and they are delicious! A great place for pizzas and noodles that's for sure!

Date night. Date fail…read more Decided to walk the area around our hotel to find a nice spot to eat. Aesthetically this place seemed very nice from the outside so we hopped in. It wasn't very busy, but it was also a Thursday and so we weren't put off by that. We were seated immediately and were instantly asked what drinks and appetizers we wanted. We hadn't even had chance to open the menu. Our server wasn't 'rude' and I wouldn't want to give that idea, but she came across as extremely pushy. Anyway. We ordered cocktails and one thing I found quite strange about England is, a lot of places give you the whisky in the glass, but then give you a bottle of coke and you make your own drink. It isn't necessarily bad, it's just different. For my meal I had ordered the burger and fries. I'd have to give this a 0/10. I ordered it medium. It came medium rare and had so much juice on the plate that my bun was a soggy mess. The burger didn't even come with lettuce, onion, tomato... just as plain as can be. The fries were thin cut and barely even warm. My better half had salmon and potatoes. The fish was actually decent but there was no way on God's green earth that those potatoes had been cooked within the past hour. We opted out of dessert simply due to not wanting to be disappointed by something else.

We had a booking and as I walked in and try to get someone's attention, no one gives a shit about me. I was standing at the door for 5 min waiting them to finish wiping the table until they have time for me. Not a great first impression there. Then we sat down and realized we missed the happy hour because of the wait and ask the waiter if we can still get it because it's not our fault that we are seated late. He refuses and as we were choosing what we want to drink, he walks off as if we are wasting his time. Not a great second impression there. The food isn't the best and by the time it gets to our table, it's already cold. Not a great third impression there. At the end, it took us so long to get their attention as we sat outside but wouldn't you attend to all table that the restaurant has to offer? We have concluded that we don't have a great impression period.
