Amarillo is a Tex-Mex chain restaurant with restaurants all over Finland. They have a good menu…read morewith classic items that have people coming back. I've been to Amarillo dozens of times over the years because I like tex-mex a lot and you find that a lot on their menu. It's not authentic mexican but still one of the best in Tampere. It is also big enough to fit even a fairly large group and maybe that's why we've often come here with visiting relatives etc. One thing that lowers my rating for this restaurant is the super slow service and overall the S-chain restaurant attitude. The staff doesn't really put any effort into serving you because they know they'll pack a full house regardless (because people with S loyalty cards get S-bonus for all the money spent there). One thing about S-chain restaurants is also that the personnel never seem like they're selected for that particular restaurant's theme or style - they're just generic workers that are probably not very loyal and also work in a dozen other chain restaurants. The most absurd thing that happened once was that my friend found a piece of glass from his mouth as it had been in the glass he drank from. Good thing he didn't swallow! He complained to the waitress about this and asked for something to refund this and the waitress simply got pissed off and didn't offer any refund, discount or free dessert or something similar. This was just one time. I'd say on all other times the slowness of service or pure neglect is what suprprises me. Although the food is generally good and their lunch buffet isn't bad either, I protest the place because of the service.

A cozy restaurant in a Tampere landmark - Finlayson old factory. May use an update in decorations…read morethough. After being there a number of times, the conclusion is as follows. A place to consider if you feel like a steak. Also pastas are ok. But do not go there for pizza (what because of the Italian name people seem to do a lot). Pizzas are bad. Being relatively expensive (12-14 euros), may completely unacceptably include canned paprika, canned champignons, or other cheap ingredients.

I am giving this a low rating, NOT because of the food!…read more The food here is GREAT..When you eventually get it! The low rating is for the service. Which lately has been very slow. I think the owners are cutting costs by under staffing the place. The last 3 times I have been dining here there was only 1 server and 1 chef. This is a busy place to eat. rarely is it empty, so it really should be better staffed. Pizzas are great, 'complimentary' salad is also above average for Tampere.

I've been taught to eat everything that's on the plate and that is what I do: waste not. That said,…read moreI left my food on the plate after a few bites. Pizza dough was almost raw everywhere but the very edge. It swam - I mean SWAM in grease. The topping list had no mention that the pizza would have garlic in it, in fact it's on the list as only with extra charge. I did not order it and the pizza had chunks of garlic, all good except I can't eat it, it will do terrible things to me that will have me running to the bathroom. We asked for the bill and as is the norm the water asked if it was good, I politely said, not really. She asked why and I told her the above things - garlic, the doughy bottom, swimming in greasy mess and I added that the tomatoes on top were cold and uncooked. She ignored all the other things and told me that that's the way the tomatoes are suppose to be, because they are added after cooking. I'm fine with being told food is the way it suppose to be, like tomatoes - fine. I'm not ok with being ignored about the actual mistakes in the food: so much grease you could cook fries in it, dough raw bottom and not asked for garlic. After that we got the bill with no word of apology. I think that was what did it for me, I politely told them I wasn't happy with the food and could not eat it and they shrug it off. So in short it's horribly overpriced and more terrible then the cheapest midnight pizza I've ever had.

This place is one the natives hold dear. One that legends are truly made of…read more Most love their pizzas, although some pizza lovers don't think very highly of them. It suffices to say the pizzas generally aren't really your strictly traditional Italian variant. There's that personal touch with years of experience thrown in. The pizzas are box-filling large with plenty of fillings. There's sometimes a hurried feel to them that you see but likely won't taste. It's a busy restaurant at times with the phone constantly ringing. The place itself has a worn out feel to it, but it's comfortable. The salad bar (included) is mediocre on the best of days. Skip it, unless you are terribly hungry. There's decent roadside parking. Note that you need a parking disc.

I've visited Sitko twice; once when it had just opened in 2014 and once in May 2015. I've got to…read moresay there was a huge difference between these two experiences. And with the latter, the experience definitely improved. In 2014 they started with a very limited menu, a restaurant space that was too loud and with pizzas that heavily divided opinions. My pizza in 2014 was such that I honestly thought it was the worst pizza I'd had in a real restaurant. It was burned, toppings were so scarce that the crust bubbled and also the taste was just foul (have to admit I'd never eaten anjovis pizza before). After hearing much more positive reviews from colleagues, I decided to give Sitko another go and it was a good choice. The menu has expanded a bit and now had multiple pizzas I could have chosen from. Also the decor had improved so that the space didn't feel as loud anymore. They even had a DJ playing music now. On a Saturday evening the place was just as busy as it was after opening so they've maintained a good buzz and apparently improved the quality, winning long term fans. I went with the Vege pizza with eggplant, goat cheese, pistachio pesto, balsamico and pine nuts. The crust was thicker than on our previous visit and there were in general "a lot more to eat". I liked the tastes otherwise but balsamico combined with goat cheese on a pizza tasted a bit too sweet for me. I still definitely enjoyed the experience and I'm planning to come back to try the Quattro Formaggio and maybe the salmon pizza as well. The pizzas here are very different from pizzas anywhere else in town so I'm sure some like them, some don't. But I recommend trying the restaurant now and enjoying the "different kind of pizza"-experience as they've really tried to built unique tastes into the pizza.
