Bistro Balsamico in Newark and Sherwood

Amazing tapas. Was a little cramped. Very small inside

Our first visit here for our son's 21st while visiting Sherwood pines. The food was amazing & the staff were very helpful & friendly. Weather was great so we got to sit outside on the patio which was lovely! Will definitely visit again if in the area

Our first visit. Great service, excellent food. Will definitely book another meal very soon. Thank you to all the staff involved.We are locals but, I would very much recommend if you are visiting The Sherwood Forrest.

First visit whilst on holiday. I would highly recommend this place. Food was delicious, staff very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Portion sizes were bigger than expected so choose wisely - I had 3 portions from main menu with no starter or pudding and was stuffed. Great choice of food options. We will definitely be visiting again and look forward to trying a few new bites. Chicken kebab was both our favourites - compliments to the chef!

Good food staff very attentive Good atmosphere 👌

Great little bistro in Edwinstowe. Wonderful food in Nice quaint restaurant. Staff friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go again

Absolutely love this place staff are amazing and food is fantastic If your looking for a perfect place to dine then look no further than here .

Lovely little place with great food. Looking forward to rebooking

Not my kind of place. Food and drinks were too expensive for me. Only 1 toilet. Decorated lovely inside. Nice for a romantic meal. I went to a babyshower here. Service was slow and not organised im affraid.

The manager made room for us because it was fully booked and now we know why. The food was amazing not a thing wrong. Huge tapas portions too much for us we felt awful because we left some. The price was spot on. Defo visit again. Those tempura prawns oh my word massive thumbs up. Thankyou guys we will be back xx 100/10

Went last night with friends, was simply lovely, will be back, 10 out of 10 from us , 😊🍷

Food was gorgeous. Lovely staff, will definitely be back

On a lovely summery evening sat outside on the balcony a beautiful setting. Me and my husband ordered several dishes and the food was delicious. The nicest food we’ve tasted in a long time. Lovely cocktails to top the evening off too. It’s definitely a hidden gem you will not be disappointed.

Very very good. Food was amazing, the service was second to none and overall would definitely recommend to everyone. It’s a very quaint restaurant and dose t hold many so don’t miss out!

Attended a birthday party here. Food tasty enough although the specials were not on their website and emailed them without a reply. Went for the meat platter for two but really only enough for one.

The service and food here is outstanding. We’ve been 3-4 times and each time has been brilliant. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and food I could eat every day!

Planned a surprise 50th for my husband & family & was recommended the bistro by a couple of friends. Emailed the details & arranged everything so easily! Nothing was too much trouble! The food is amazing & service just brilliant. All our party were impressed by the quality of the dishes, the variety & the portions! We will definitely return! Highly recommend!!

Was recommended this place to must come.. And what a beautiful never had tapas before.. So the lovely lady explained everything on the menu she took her time with even though they was busy.. but came away with nothing but praise for this restaurant.. pure quantity we had eaten around the world and loved every mouth ful.. thank you see you again..

Went for a meal. The food was absolutely beautiful. Service was excellent and friendly. Beautiful little place. Would highly recommend.

What a little gem of a place - fresh food, made with love, highly recommended

Dined here many times as live in the village. Absolutely delicious food every time. Excellent service. Highly recommend

Fantastic food and great staff. Well worth a visit. Absolutely loved it 😍

First time to this lovely asmospheric resturant. Delicious selection of tapas, we really enjoyed our choice of food.

A small eatery located in Edwinstowe , very different to what we are used to but a very pleasant experience. Tapas style dishes are served, freshly made and delivered to the table very hot. We'll worth a visit. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

The hosts and tapas are amazing. Great little venue. Will certainly return. We had around 6 dishes between the two of us. Good size portions and price.

Been here a few times and every time the food and service has been 10/10! Everyone who I’ve recommended it to have also loved it too, will definitely keep coming back😍

Our first time visiting last night and we were totally impressed , a lovely small business with very friendly staff . The food was amazing ! We will definitely be back . Thank you so much

Beautiful surroundings, the tapas looked and tasted amazing.

Good food. Large portions at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.

First visit for a friend's birthday. Excellent food and service. Very pleasant staff. Great little place.

Well first time at this lovely little gem, and it was worth the wait, food was great, atmosphere great and lovely friendly staff, we had a great meal and will be back soon.

Excellent food had 6 tapas dishes between us and each one was delicious. Staff very attentive lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back.

Great food, slightly limited menu but what was available was well cooked, well presented and good portion sizes, be careful not to over order

Lovely food, just a little cold

First time tonight. Delightful little place run by a mother and daughter team. Lovely friendly service and the food is excellent. Between the two of us we had Six dishes and couldn't finish it all. My favourite was the mushrooms! Definitely going again. Highly recommended 👌

Staff so friendly, as soon as I walked in they asked if I wanted cake going into back to be stored. Place is small with lovely decor and we were a fairly large group but dishes came out at same time, and food itself....... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Definitely going to go again!!!

Nice little bisto, excellent food, a good choice Great service and friendly staff

Great meal and good atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff very friendly. Will definitely be recommending to friends/family.

Family meal. They were very accommodating and friendly. Food choice was excellent, and arrived hot just as ordered. Delicious dishes and decent size for tapas. We had plenty to take home as the portions surprised us. Prices quite reasonable. Service also very good. Would highly recommend!

We have eaten here several times, the food is so fresh and delicious, staff and service are so friendly, would definitely recommend it!

Food is fantastic and second to none

Went last night with a mate, the food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very friendly, with a very warm and relaxed atmosphere at Bistro Balsamico.

Wow, what can I say. I booked here after seeing the Google reviews for my friends Hen party and they went above and beyond to make the occasion so special. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone in our party couldn't get over how delicious every single dish was. The service was some of the best I have ever received! I honestly can't recommend this place enough and my only wish is that I lived closer. Thank you again xx

What an absolute gem we ate here twice on our week in Edwinstowe Nikki is front of house with her mum in the kitchen we tried most things on the tapas menu between us and all the tapas were top notch . Great service fantastic food so good I wanted to run away with Nikki’s mum

Went to visit Sherwood Forest woodland festival, arrived early so went to find some breakfast. This place does a good breakfast, had the smaller breakfast but still good start for the day, drink included in the price 👍🏻. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to all.

You must try this place , it’s wonderful . Great food , lovely atmosphere and great staff. Well done , we will be back

The quality of food was outstanding. All the food we ordered was exceptionally tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful. A great atmosphere for a delicious meal. Would highly recommend.

Just got home from this tapas meal and I honestly do not know where to start. Me and my wife had 3 x tapas each, all different and we are still discussing which was the best. It was all hot, well presented, it was just exceptional. If you are staying at centre Parcs and fancy a meal out, this has to be on your list. Many many thanks

Took my partner for a bite to eat on a Saturday night to start celebrations of her 40th birthday . All I can say what a lovely evening we had . The food was spot on and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. This place isn’t a big place and is quite rustic in its decor but has a relaxing chilled out atmosphere. It is very reasonably priced and the service for me was just right ,not rushed or to slow . They also put candles on our desserts and took time to sing happy birthday to my partner . The tapas menu isn’t massive which is a good thing and they had a specials board as well . All in all I’d recommend here . Support this small business as these places are getting rare these days as big corporations and franchise restaurants can’t match the personal eating experience of this little gem 👍

Just amazing the staff looked after us very well the food was awesome lovely place well worth a visit

Just been there this evening and had mixed meat sharer platter and 3 tapas between two of us, really good food and a reasonable price too, highly recommended.

First review I’ve ever done because it was so nice and well presented with excellent customer service. Thank you 10/10

Beautiful little place in Edwinstowe near the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre. Absolutely charming inside with a very friendly owner/manager and her mother providing great service. The real stars though were the cakes. Freshly made and quite stunning. I had the fruit cake with brandy cream - it was fantastic. Highly recommended if you are going to the Visitor Centre - it's no more than 10 minutes walk away (probably less).

I eat at the Bistro quite regularly and am never disappointed The food is always of the highest quality and as a fussy eater they always accommodate my wishes and cook the food according to my requests eg. “tickled” bacon and well done sausage The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble I icing on the cake is that they are dog friendly and my golden retriever loves sitting inside too-always on his best behaviour of course! I could not recommend them highly enough

Service was lovely ans food was fab! Such great decor and a hidden gem! My friend and I throughly enjoyed and would recommend! Will be back! Xx

Lovely food friendly atmosphere

Absolutely amazing little gem in edwinstove.Staff is amazing too. A must try 👌

This place is amazing in every way. Family run with a great menu! The team will make you very welcome, you will not be disappointed! We will be back again (and again).

Had a lovely lunch in here today 😋 my husband and I had the meat sharing platter and it was delicious! Lovely restaurant and lovely friendly staff will definitely be back

Highly recommend. Visited today for lunch. Food was excellent, everything was so tasty. Just a shame I didn’t live nearer

Great food and lovely staff. Large portions for 'tapas' but seriously delicious. Highly recommend.

Food was ok but they had run out of most things as they were going on holiday which was disappointing but the staff were lovely

We were a group of 10 ladies who were staying at centreparcs. We came to celebrate my daughters hen party. The service here is amazing and the food ....well its just so yummy. Good job I don't live near because I'd be here every day. Thank u for giving my girl an amazing time. From the very 1st email you have been amazing, balloons on the table were so special. Can not fault.thos place at all

Very good friendly service. We sat outside and had hot chocolate and chocolate fudge cake. The cake was too sweet for my tastes, but our eyes were bigger than our bellies!

Had a lovely Tapas with my wife, food was plentiful and very tasty. Excellent service in a very relaxing environment. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a brilliant evening

Lovely lunch! Great food, great service, great value for money. Definitely will return

Had the Tapas menu..3 for £17.95..Chose the Chicken Enchilada ,Greek salad and Chilli Lasagne.. Quality food, Very good portions, Excellent value for money.. Very friendly staff..👍

A little gem, good service and good food.

Bistro Balsamico ticks all the boxes. Excellent fresh food that is complexly flavoured in a both subtle and rich way when appropriate, accompanied by excellent service in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere all at a very reasonable price.

Absolutely beautiful food! Would highly recommend. Lovely setting and friendly staff - will definitely be back again very soon

Lovely place on the High street where you can sit high up and watch the world go by. We dined on a tapas sharing platter vegetarian and we were not disappointed. Would recommend to most people but be aware of steep steps up from street...

Best breakfast ever I nearly didn't want to write this review as want to keep this little gem secret Fresh home cooked, local produce. Perfectly seasoned. Potatos bravas outstanding and love the tomatoes Honestly don't think you're charging enough. The decor is also stunning I...

Just moved to the village and have been here two Saturdays in a row! Unbelievable food, it’s so tasty and haven’t been disappointed by a single dish! You can book on Facebook messenger, the staff are so so friendly, the ambience is lovely inside and...

Great food. Super friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. Reasonable prices. A lovely little niece of Mediterranean vibe in the midst of the Sherwood Forest. Highly recommended!!

Never had a bad meal here, good selection of tapas style dishes, friendly service and reasonably priced, all good

Never had a bad meal, good selection of tapas style food ( good portions ) , friendly staff, all good , would recommend!!

Good size breakfast and taste amazing.

Not very authentic. Cheap decor. Tinned dessert. Not much different to my own dishes. Great service though

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Whether you’re sitting inside the cosy restaurant drinking sangria and ordering something amazing from the tapas menu or ordering everything to go like I did last night you won’t be disappointed. The best restaurant for miles...

Wonderful quaint little bistro and so pretty. Cannot wait for this to reopen.

Been here a few times - my last visit was for some tapas my partner and i loved it. All very tasty and decent portions! Highly recommend

I have visited the Càfe on several occasions, for tapas, coffee and cake and for breakfast. Each time the service was attentive and the lovely staff look after you extremely well. The food is always tasty, beautifully presented and fresh. The breakfast is the best I've had anywhere. I had the vegetarian breakfast and my partner had the English breakfast, both were fantastic, everything on the plate looked and tasted amazing. The care and attention to the preparation of the food was evident. The selection of cakes is good and there is always something different to choose when you visit, you can get cake to go if you want to. The Càfe has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with unique decor. I would recommend this Càfe, whether it's just for a coffee or something more substantial, you won't be disappointed. The Càfe is small so I would advise you book for lunch and dinner. Especially during Covid 19 restrictions. Looking forward to the lockdown being over so we visit again.

Popped in for afternoon lunch with the family. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Excellent food and excellent customer service. We will be coming back!

Eaten here several times before..... never disappoints. Service and food were excellent as usual. The food was well presented and covid safety processes were exemplary. The only disappointment was that I was too late for breakfast which is the best in Nottinghamshire.

Stunning bistro with amazing food! Service top quality, friendly and fantastic atmosphere.

An absolute lovely evening, great food and friendly service. Covid safety in place too by the staff. Highly recommended

Good food, never been disappointed, lovely staff x

Lovely food and friendly service

We visited here for the first time since it opened despite living in the village. The breakfast was possibly the best we have ever had. All aspects of it were cooked to perfection and the sausages and bacon were good quality. Also our little dog...

A lovely place lovely people serving good food will be going again 😋

We visited for Tapas and had several different dishes. Some we thought were fantastic -Thai green curry being the standout and some not to our taste -meatballs . The menu is actually a few Italian dishes/Greek /Spanish so not a true tapas experience. We have...

Amazing food for a sunny Sunday afternoon with and ice cold beer. The young guy who was our waiter was fantastic, Nothing was any trouble. Can’t wait to go again 5star

The food here is to die for second to none l would recommend it to anyone to try 🎉🎉

Me and my friends came here late on a Sunday. The kitchen was closing but the staff stil offered us some things they were able to make. Very polite and friendly staff, food was great. Will definitely come back some time!

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ANY AMAZING AFTERNOON.

Delicious food nicely presented. Lovely decor and friendly staff.

Great value, wonderful food and great service. Really got a sense that the owners and staff took such pride in their restaurant. Couldn’t ask for more. Short but quality wine list. If we lived closer we would be here every week!!

First visit and we loved it!!! Great selection of tapas style food!! Quite reasonably priced and tasted amazing!! Even better it’s in our village!! Deffo will return, great food and service Thanks

I visited this hidden gem back in February, the food was amazing, a lovely selection of tapas dishes and a very warm welcome as you walk in. Great value for money! I would 100% recommend this place. I am so excited for my next visit.
