Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The Burrata and pesto was incredible! Must order!"
  • "The sausage special was amazing! But I also loved the truffle garlic mushrooms!"
  • "The pizzas were so so so good! Lovely thin crust, tomato sauce with real flavour and a great range of cheese-free offerings too."
  • "Amazing food, fabulous drinks and lovely, attentive staff. We had pizza and tapas which were so good - shout out to the Camembert!"
  • "The food is outstanding. Some amazing pizzas on offer and the tapas dishes are spectacular."
  • "The tapas were sublime, the pizzas gorgeously made."
  • "The food was really tasty especially the chorizo and Camembert."

Cons:

  • "Wasn’t keen on the patatas bravas as they were quite dry and lacking in seasoning - very little sauce with them as well."
  • "Pizzas are gorgeous but could do with a little more topping."
  • "Some of the dishes were over cooked."
  • "The pizza topping options were better than the actual pizza itself but overall it was a valiant attempt."
  • "Used to be quite good but the quality has really gone down. Our pizza base was more like a flatbread."
  • "Must have gone on a bad night. Waited an hour for the pizza. When it did arrive, the base was so thin, it was like eating a wafer thin biscuit."
  • "The olives were tinned, and the garlic was cheap and pre minced."

Cons:

  • "Well I would have been able to rate it if we'd been able to get served."
  • "Ignored for ages while stood in the doorway while the staff chatted away to each other."
  • "None of the staff were wearing masks either and one of the girls was wearing her long hair down which is quite unhygienic in a kitchen/bar area."
  • "Service a bit chaotic, but worth a visit."
  • "We didn't enjoy that someone opened the place up at 11 pm on a Sunday night, started blasting music, and filled up the neighborhood with drunken shouting until quite late."
  • "Service wasn’t the greatest."
  • "Never experienced such bad service. We were kept waiting outside in the rain when we arrived, on time, for our booking."
