Cafe Roma in Leicester

Came here for a lunch before a show at Curve. We had booked a table and it's a good job we did - it was packed! We hadn't been before but seeing how busy it was we were reassured that we'd booked somewhere good. How right we were! Lunch for 3, including 1 alcoholic drink and 2 soft drinks - £29.00! What a steal. The food was piping hot, plentiful and absolutely delicious. We saved room for desserts and went back to order tiramisu and chocolate torta. The tiramisu was to die for! My daughter couldn't manage her chocolate cake and the staff were more than happy to box it up for her to take to the theatre. Cannot rave enough about what a gorgeous lunch we had - we will be back again and again.

Eating here feels like an authentic Italian experience, it has a homely family run feel about it.

I told azziae my mum janet whiting too tell Karen Bader auntie janet whiting passed on 3 March 2024 at loros hospice at 7.15 pm at loros groby road Leicester

My first time there last night and won’t be the last!! Authentic excellent food, unbelievable value.

A lovely little cafe/restaurant. Would highly recommend; amazing food, great service, and a very relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. So reasonably priced, my girlfriend and I had 2 mains, 2 sides and 2 puddings, with 3 drinks for less than £35!

After eating here we asked them to cater for our party at the Exchange bar down the road. Food and service were absolutely excellent. The owner is so lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

Can’t believe we’ve never eaten here before. The food was hearty, home cooked and delicious. We both started with chicken livers that came with thick cut fresh bread. For main we had the 3 pasta sharer with a side salad and for dessert a limoncello tiramisu and a cheese and biscuits followed by coffees. It was all outstanding but the tiramisu is the best I have ever had!! All the staff were super friendly and provided excellent service. Absolutely faultless and can’t wait to return.

A waitress was kind of "rude". She didn't say any "thank you" like us did, and the service was rude. I haven't had Italian food disgusting like this. The £12.5 chicken was like frozen fast food from supermarket. If you want have Italian food, look for somewhere better. I don't want to comment like that, but this was what we felt here. First time and like went there!

Ate here again recently and it’s still top notch! One of the best places for lunch in the the centre of Leicester and well worth coming in to town for. Their special lunch offer continues (of course) and there’s a real Italian family flavour to all that they do. A nice comfortable space upstairs too if you’ve never ventured up. This is one of those long-standing places that Leicester folk and visitors continue to support. Incredible value meals with a smile - need I say more?

Four of us enjoyed a great lunch here today. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and we had a really good time. Look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you to your amazing staff.

Food is extremely good ,got nothing bad to say about the food.resturant overall was very good and pleasant,servers were nice too ,price wasn't too bad .would come again

Went for my birthday meal with some friends last Wednesday, lovely service and great food for a very reasonable price

Great place, quite small so best to book. Food is lovely, always freshly cooked. I am working my way through the menu and not been disappointed yet.

Great for price....👌and great food..and atmosphere

He estado yendo aquí durante muchos años, pero noté un cambio en los tamaños de las porciones. Las verduras han reducido su tamaño. Todo lo que obtienes ahora es 4 pedazos de zanahorias y col en un pequeño plato redondo. Las papas fritas también han reducido su tamaño de porción y no saben tan bien como solían hacerlo. Sin embargo, algunos de los platos de pescado y carne que he probado han sido agradables.

Visited for the first time yesterday before seeing a show at the curve. All staff friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious as was the wine. Unfortunately we didn't have time for any deserts but the looks lovely. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again especially as a pre theatre dinner, perfect location just a short walk to the curve. Thank you

Friendly restaurant. Home cooked traditional style food with Italian classics as expected, fast service and the food was lovely, very reasonable pricing aswell. Thank you for making our sons birthday special 🙏😊

Fui allí para una comida pre-teatral. Tuvimos la comida compartida de 3 pastas, una botella de vino y un par de desiertos por £ 58, que creo que es increíblemente razonable. Tuvimos tres camareras diferentes y todos eran excepcionalmente eficientes, educados y alegres. Además, eran las 6 de la tarde y lleno de gente, lo que significaba que había un buen ambiente. Sin duda volveré a visitar.

Como siempre Restaurante italiano romaní en Leicester - Nunca nos decepcione, siempre un restaurante italiano ocupado y popular - Gran y fabuloso servicio - Comida hecha desde cero y presentada brillante y completamente llena de sabor y gusto - Mi Finaceë no le gusta normalmente el salmón - Pero la Tagliatelle de salmón estaba lleno de frescura y sabor - y definitivamente la convirtió en salmón - Todo el personal era absolutamente increíble y superior, siempre hacerte sentir muy bienvenido - NB: - Mejor consejo, reservar con antelación - sí se pone ocupado - especialmente la hora del almuerzo.

Me gusta mucho este lugar y la comida es genial. Decidimos reservar para un cumpleaños familiar (95) un viernes a las 6. 30 - éramos 5 de nosotros. Tristemente no nos quedamos había música en vivo - saxofonista - que era genial - pero era tan fuerte que no podía mantener una conversación y mi suegra de 95 años estaba realmente luchando - de hecho todos estábamos, Qué pena y tuvimos que ir a otro lugar. Es un lugar bastante pequeño y realmente no necesitaba un altavoz para amplificar la música y tan temprano en la noche - todos estaban teniendo que gritar de ahí las 3 estrellas para esta visita

I had a mocha coffee and thick slice of pantone whilst waiting for a friend. I then had soup and apple juice. Usually have the pasta lunch deal. It's always good at Roma

Can not get any better. Staff are amazing, helpful, polite, curtious

Very nice Italian place and delicious food, everything is handmade fresh. The staff was very friendly too.

Lovely food. Kind friendly staff and good prices. Highly recommend Roma.

First time having gone to Roma, and I must say it was absolutely brilliant. The food was wonderful, one of the best pizza's I've had, and it was served very quickly! The food was lovely, the service and staff were polite and friendly. Even whilst busy, they were lovely to chat to and very good all round! For an independent restaurant it's hard to beat and it fully deserves it's high rating here on Google reviews. Give it a try next time you wish to try something new, I most definitely will be coming back, that's for sure!

The food is so nice and is extremely cheep for the quality! It is THE BEST PIZZA and PASTA I have EVER had! The waitresses are so kind and they love to communicate with their coustermers! They are extremely busy so do recommend booking a table in advance. The only complaint it one waitress doesn't realy talk to you which is fine but when they were delivering the food, we didn't notice them standing with our food cuz they wouldn't say anything! But grate service.

It was time to visit an Italian restauranton our visit to London and the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Great food and enjoy it.

Just as it always was: good fresh meals and a lovely atmosphere, which hasn't been lost over the passage of years and redecoration. We enjoyed a nice lunch together here for old times' sake 🙂 Thank you 🙂

Italian restaurant close to the center of Leicester. Its decoration is reminiscent of an Italian trattoria with its checkered red tablecloths and wooden tables. However, it gave you the feeling that you don't get air inside the place (it was a hot day when we visited) which made the atmosphere stifling. Nice small menu, with pasta and pizzas. I don't remember seeing salads on the menu (maybe I'm wrong), which made me unhappy. The pizzas we tried had thin crispy dough and in general we were satisfied. Unfortunately not the pasta. Nothing special, the milk cream was a base in many dishes (not very Italian). I chose the pasta with gorgonzola, which had more of a "4 cheese" taste and not the characteristic taste of the particular cheese. The carbonara was with milk cream and not egg (!!) - it was written on the menu for sure. All in all, the sweets were ok, but not something that stole my heart.

We booked this restaurant to celebrate my son’s graduation. The staff were very attentive, the food was delicious and really great value. Portions were very generous. The restaurant kindly provided a cake on request which my son reckoned was the best chocolate cake he’s ever had and he tucked into it again over the following couple of days ! There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and my son really loved and he headed out with his friends for further celebrations well fed. A proper family run quality venue. Thanks for contributing to a very special day for my son. Highly Recommended.

Underrated! A cosy Italian restaurant with a homely vibe. Staff are always lovely and the food is always incredible and good value for money. Never had a bad meal here - this is the place I take family and friends to that are visiting Leicester. Good with allergies as well.

Our first time here. Definitely won't be our last. Great service, great food and incredible value. I really can't recommend it enough.

Went for a pre theatre meal, amazing food, drinks and service. Very good value. Gin spritz was delicious and the casata did not disappoint. Will definitely return. Thank you

Like many others we visited early evening for a pre theatre meal. This is the sort of place we love, traditional and family run with a good choice of food at reasonable prices. We really enjoyed our meal and will” definitely return when next in Leicester. Service was attentive and very friendly as well.

Perfect location for a pre-theatre meal & the good & service were amazing ! Always reassuring to see a busy restaurant but you can soon see why…, great food & drink choices along with lovely service ! We loved it and really recommend this to everyone looking for a great place to eat before a performance at The Curve !

Great food great service and value for money. Well presented well cooked food. Good atmosphere with the staff making the experience

Sonia was lovely and we all really enjoyed our meal here! Very well priced, amazing value for money. Had some vegan options! I loved the bruschetta. Will be coming back!

Staff were friendly and attentive. Food is good and reasonably quick. Thank you

Excellent place for lunch, much recommended

Gem of a find. Came upon it by accident looking for a quick pre-theatre lunch. Friendly and efficient service. Freshly prepared and tasty food. Excellent value and loved the authentic vibe. Will be coming back. Thank you.

Sonia and Azizza were amazing! Wonderful service! Amazing food! Such a sweet and romantic vibe with the place itself. We particularly enjoyed the Calzone!

Not posh but friendly staff and good food. One of my favourite places.

Live the food here - best authentic Italian in Leicester!!

Tried a platter made up of three types of pasta and each one was delicious.You can choose any three for £19, which sounds fantastic. Tried the tiramisu and it was the best I've ever had, it had a boozy flavour but wasn't strong at all. Liking a cloud melting in your mouth. Cocktails were good too and free water was offered. Very cosy little restaurant, loved the red checkered tablecloths.Perfect. ————— Highly recommend their lunch set, for £8 you get a pasta, a drink and a toast. The pasta was very tasty and the toast would have been better with more butter. Also had his panna cotta to finish and the ricotta was wonderful. Of course, the service wasn't as good as in the evening considering the price of the lunch set. If you're only going to have a coffee, remember to bring change, and you can't swipe your card until it's over £5.

The staff were very kind and service was quick! The diavolo pizza (pepperoni pizza) tasted great and the portions sizes were more than adequate. Would love to see a thick crust pizza! The atmosphere was relaxed and homely. Everything was reasonably priced 🙂 Next time I will try the tiramisu 🤩🤩

Staff were friendly but not very attentive, didn't come ask on is everything the older chef came in from having a smoke and didn't wash his hands before starting to cook and the other chef I saw only washed his hands once the whole time I was there. I had full full of the kitchen and pot wash/sink to see what was what. Food wasn't very authentic. The spaghetti was al dente but the chilli and garlic spaghetti the Chilli just overpowered it that you couldn't taste anything else the carbonara tasted it was more creamy than with eggs and the vegetables were more mushrooms than any other veg but didn't have a great deal of flavor the Parmesan cheese was in a salt pot type thing and it was more the cheese you can buy off of the shelf that has a long life instead of it being fresh cheese Great idea of doing the shearing pasta for mains, but would recommend that they separate the dishes better. Sorry to say but I have had better Italian food from Bella Italian and that's not great food to what I had in this place. Half the tables were empty but was told there wasn't any and needed to come back in a hour, when we did the same tables was empty.

Great food super coffee ☕ cosy beauty full place

Just been for lunch with 9 of my friends, 10 of us in total. Service was brilliant, food came out fast, hot and fresh. The only complaint I have is that we weren’t warned about the £5 card minimum which caused a little bit of a hassle. But other than that it was amazing!!

lovely italian kid cleaning the tables properly like a gentleman although he did give my daughters a weird face and gesture but overall it was a lovely experience and great food.100% visit😉

A lovely find, we enjoyed a delicious homecooked Italian meal here. It's a popular venue, so you definitely need to book in advance. It's open lunchtime only Monday, Tuesday but evenings the rest of the week. It is situated close to the Curve and therefore ideal for a meal before seeing a show. Thank you for making my husbands birthday a special one.

We were very hungry, had train in an hour and a half so ate all - wish to choose a different restaurant 😌 Chips over salted - they could tell us that, that they salt them for us. Pizzas - not Italian way - hard and tasteless Service.... dear lady in black bazer- loosen up a bit. Your tone and face expression tell all- if you hate customer service- just go .

Cafe Roma in a nutshell is traditional Italian food, done to perfection. I've eaten in many places all over the world and my very favourite place, where I feel at home, comfortable and well looked after, is cafe Roma. The clientele is varied, diverse and friendly. The staff are caring, attentive and make you feel great. So whether you're there for a really good coffee or a 3 course meal, I can guarantee you will be super satisfied. Quality starts from the top down; Azizza (owner) is always on-hand, who is not only a great cook, but just a brilliant personality that adds to the experience. Highly recommended from someone that is very picky about food. If you haven't already, go try it today!

Food was delicious, atmosphere and service was superb and it was very modestly priced! Definitely will be back 👌🏽celiac & gluten free friendly 👍🏽

Visited today and was served by a women in her 50's/60's. I've never met such a rude and unpleasant person in my life. We left and visited the Greek Corner Bakery instead which was very friendly and welcoming.

Tried Roma for the first time last week. We will be back. A small, cosy and independent restaurant, the atmosphere was laid-back, and the service friendly and attentive - though I did get the sense they were keen to turn tables quickly. The food was remarkably good - all the Italian classics, served unfussily. An unpretentious restaurant, serving great food at exceptional prices.

Good food Very poor welcome from a young female staff member , no eye contact, no greeting, refused to allow choice of tables, refused a couple a table as 'we're full' ( but weren't full , 3 tables of 2 unoccupied) and overall surley. Portuguese lady who servered us was lovely and exemplified good customer service , so it's not a systematic thing. We loved the food and very close to The Curve theatre, but will have little tolerance for poor service if there is a next time.

You know those little places that just seem to get everything perfect e.g. the seasoning, the flavours, the price, the happy and friendly staff, the drink selection, the sides and even the desserts, well this is one of those places. I absolutely love café Roma, we've only been 5 or 6 times but it's probably my alltime favourite place, don't get me wrong I've eaten much more expensive and fancy foods but I don't think I've been to many places as enjoyable, friendly and downright enjoyable. It's a simple menu but it's all done really well, from my experience theyre happy to make minor changes to accompany certain tastes or requirements. The prices are incredible when you consider both the food quality and the portion sizes, for the hungry folk I'd recommend the calzone, for those wanting something super tasty but saving room for pudding I'd recommend anything from the mains section as the pizzas are pretty big and the pasta very filling. But yeah overall it's great, couldn't recommend it highly enough, it's a real treat whenever we go, I hope it never changes

Ordered from Roma for a work lunch and have been to eat there. The lunch deal would be great value for money but unfortunately the portion sizes are a little small and not filling. I would say the lunch deal is a child's portion size and left quiet a few of us still hungry. Maybe next time I will try the full sized meal and see if its any better. The lasagna was okay nothing stood out about it too much and the garlic bread was mediocre unfortunately. Good atmosphere when eating it but it can become full very quickly.

Counting down to our next visit. Really welcoming friendly place, best pizza I've had in years and much cheaper than elsewhere.

Great night out, excellent food together with good service. Thanks will be back

Portion size is greatly reduced so much so that I was left hungry after meatballs and spaghetti. I had to pay £5 for a tiny portion of dried (not fresh) spaghetti to accompany my meatballs which were delicious. The combined portion was the size of a child's or starter portion. All in all a disappointing experience. Will not be returning.

From the moment I stepped into this amazing place, I was greeted by warm and friendly staff and drink order taken before I reached my pre booked table! The food is extremely tasty and brought out very professionally and in good time considering we were a large party and not the only party in! They cater perfectly for coeliac vegetarians and any desserts can be made to order by prior arrangement. Thank you to all the lovely staff, you will definitely be seeing me again!

Lovely and informal, service was quick and friendly. Food is fresh and tasty. Did not feel rushed and was able to sit and chat after the meal.

Excellent lunch menu. Super staff.

Amazing food, lovely little place, 10/10 attentive service. Found it on accident and it will be my new go to :)

Very busy lunchtime venue for traditional Italian food. Ideally book a table in advance

If there had been Italian type music and possible table cloths etc I would give 5 stars for the atmosphere. The Roma is excellent value for money with lovely friendly staff and the food does not disappoint - lovely, thank you x

I've never written a review before, but Cafe Roma has compelled me to share my experience. It consistently delivers the kind of high-quality food that I usually expect but often find lacking, especially when faced with prices 50-100% higher elsewhere. This warm and hospitable cafe boasts a traditional decor that enhances the overall dining ambiance. Let me be unequivocal the food at Cafe Roma is nothing short of outstanding. Fresh, simple, hearty, and unpretentious, each dish is a testament to excellence. The traditional flavors, served piping hot, are not only comforting but also delicious. The execution is flawless, making every bite a delightful experience. Equally impressive is the fantastic service, making a visit to Cafe Roma a must. It's not just about the amazing value; rather, it stands out for successfully achieving what more expensive establishments so often fail to do. The fact that this gem is reasonably priced is a welcome bonus. If I were to suggest any personal improvement, it would be the addition of draft beer. That would elevate my rating to a perfect 10. In conclusion, Cafe Roma is doing something truly special, and my advice is to stay true to this winning formula. Don't change a thing—double down on what makes it exceptional.

Went to Roma on a Saturday evening. Called ahead to book a table the week before. Unfortunately we were sat upstairs with only one other table occupied by the time we had finished eating. The upstairs dining room offered no atmosphere at all. We ordered starter and mains. Starters were great but my pizza was disappointing. Crust was too thick and not enough pepperoni. The rest of our food was good. I would visit again but choose a different main as the menu was extensive and interesting.

What a great accidental find. This is a typical 'moms & dads' type of small restaurant which you find all over Italy. 5 stars on the door for food handling & hygiene which was a bonus. Great value for money, excellent food which was so good we went two nights on the trot. The lady owner & staff are very friendly and chatty, nothing was too much trouble, they all made us very welcome. So different from the big Italian themed chain restaurants like Prezzo's etc who just churn out the same old pasta & pizza but without any passion unlike the folks at Cafe Roma who love & eat there own food. Very much recommended place to visit.

Loved the £8 lunch deal, good value. Like the authentic atmosphere.

Really tasty authentic food. Great price

Freshly made Italian food, friendly staff

Pasta sauce tasted like tomato soup.

First time there for lunch menu. There wasn't a lot of taste in the pasta dish, very bland which was disappointing.

We had a lovely meal, garlic bread to start 3 pizzas and 2 drinks. All delicious and great value.

FORZA ROMA! When you find yourself working away from home finding a good place to eat is a must. So it was for me when I found myself spending 2 weeks in Leicester. After the first night’s truly awful dining experience at my hotel, I had the good fortune to stumble across Café Bar Roma on Halford street in the city centre, and what a find it was. Decked out as you would find many a trattoria almost anywhere in Italy (plenty of wood and subtle lighting) it had a warm and welcoming ambience which chimed perfectly with the friendly and efficient service provided by the owner, Azziza, and her team who work tirelessly to ensure your time there is a happy one. It is a café bar during the working week and open as a restaurant in the evening from Wednesday on. Although I did not luncheon there, I wish I had! The lunchtime offers look remarkably good value. Yet, however welcome you are made to feel, you are there to eat, and if the food fails, you won’t return. I did! 4 times. And not once was I disappointed. All the traditional Italian staples are there. Pasta, pizza, meat and fish (and a selection of homemade desserts). First up, my tagliatelle salsiccie (with traditional fennel sausage) was delicious; light but filling, with the pasta al dente and just the right hint of fennel to the overall flavour. Not too strong but not missing in action either. The pizzas are simply first rate. I tried two! A simple rossa at £4.50 and a puttanesca with olives, capers and anchovies at £8.50; combining a light, crispy base (but still retaining a bit of that all-important “chew” factor) married to toppings packed with flavour. The scallopine al marsala (pork escallope in a cream and marsala sauce) at £16 was again beautifully cooked. Tender and moist with a sauce that did not overpower the meat but complemented it just as it should. Finally, to cover all areas of the menu, I had the sea bass fillet in a lemon butter and caper sauce (£16.50). This is an easy dish to get wrong. The fish can be dry or the sauce too sharp. No such trouble here. The fillets were cooked perfectly; skin crisp, flesh soft and the sauce was, again, a subtle but truly flavoursome accompaniment. Compliments to the chef! So, pasta, pizza, meat and fish all perfect; and the prices are so reasonable that one imagines they must rise soon. To produce this quality at the prices charged is nothing short of a miracle. And the well- chosen wines were sensibly priced too, with a carafe of the house at £10 (a real boon for the lone diner) and a bottle of house red or white at £14. It was no surprise to my lonesome self, as I eavesdropped, to hear that many of the diners were frequent visitors. All in all, a terrific dining experience. Great food; great service; great value. It is no wonder the place has been here nearly 30 years. If I am any judge, it will be here many years more. It deserves to be.

Fantastic restaurant. Food, service, atmosphere and value for money is top notch. Looking forward to coming back!

Jedzie bardzo smaczne, czas oczekiwania standardowy, przystępne ceny. Jedyny minus za dość specyficzną ofertę obsługę, mało miłą. Ale poza tym to polecam :)

Lovely meal and service, came after our daughter graduation

Great way to start 2023. Excellent food and service. Keep up the good work. Another visit - Sept 23. Pizza and cold beer. Pizza topping was great but difficult to cut and so had to use hands😊

Lovely little cafe, good food nice staff family go here often.

My husband and I were in the city for a show on Wednesday 6th September. The restaurant was clean and bright. The waitress was lovely and the food was excellent. Would recommend and would visit again.

went to celebrate my daughters graduation . food was lovely surroundings , only down was another table with a graduation on were given complimentary drinks and a desert and we weren't so it felt a bit odd.

Atmosphere and wine were lovely, a shame that the food was bland and overpriced for what it was.

We enjoyed the live saxophone music however food and service was very underwhelming so we won't be going again.

Definitely the best coffee in town, without question! Authentic Italian ambience and lovely, friendly staff. Grazie Roma!

The first time eating here and was very impressed, I will definitely be back. Reasonably priced and excellent service.

I've eaten here a few times over the years and it's a solid option at a very reasonable price point. There are gluten free options as well as vegetarian & vegan ones, so most dietary requirements would be met, I think. Pizza isn't the best here - I think there are better places if that's what you fancy. There's a smaller dining area downstairs and a much bigger room upstairs, suitable for large groups. Service can be a bit hit & miss. The ground floor seems to be accessible, but I'm not sure if there's a disabled toilet. The restrooms are upstairs and small cubicles. It's a popular choice for pre-theatre dining, and you need to book.

Such a popular place and deservedly so. Last couple of times we have called in but pre/ theatre dining meant they were fully booked. Booked last minute yesterday and we were successful. Curve is dark atm so could be why. What a lovely experience it is eating at Cafe Roma. Independent restaurant with delicious food and lovely authentic atmosphere. Highly recommend

Best pizza I've ever had in England

100% would recommend. Great authentic menu with lots of options. For main we went for 3 pastas for £18 - ideal for 2 people sharing, each was incredible and delicious. We had a pizza as a side (lol), which was also lovely and fresh. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had, again great punch of flavour. Lovely prompt service. Will definitely be going back.

What an amazing find! Pre-theatre meal last night with my Mum. Wonderful food, lovely service & atmosphere. Really good value! Great to find an authentic family run business. Will definitely be returning. Thanks for a fabulous meal Roma!! 😋

We booked here for a quick pre theatre lunch & it’s a good job we did! Very busy with a great atmosphere. Such a great value lunch time menu, all home made & delicious ,(especially the desserts!). A real Italian gem; friendly, great service & less than £20 for two courses, a Bellini cocktail & coffee🤩

Fabulous pizza, with a nice lemon drink, to go with it, + Great desserts too. :)

Booked well in advance for 5.45 on a Thursday evening to eat before the Curve. Taken upstairs which we’d never been seated at before and thought it’s going to be noisy and service not so good. Correct on both counts unfortunately and also my spaghetti vongole was a mass of clams and hardly any spaghetti. No dish provided for the clam shells . No where near as good as I’ve had there previously . I told the waitress , she just said oh dear I’ll mention it to the chef , no help to me. And at some point I thought live entertainment had stated downstairs , it was ridiculously loud but in fact coming from a ghetto blaster on a shelf near the kitchen . Had to go to the counter to try and pay due the time it took and no one taking payment at the table and it was chaotic . Never mind the noise , the chap trying to do the same in front of me was charged our bill , eventually the card machine was thrust at me without even a glance up . Been a few times before and recommended it to several people who then have also been . I hope it was a one off and indeed a week or so later a friend visited and said no loud music and was generally ok , so maybe it was.

Lovely authentic Italian cafe/restaurant

This truly is a hidden gem for Leicester! Beautiful, authentic Italian food and great, friendly service. Seriously cannot fault this absolutely wonderful place!
