Went early on Friday lunchtime. Place was empty but rude waiter said we would have to wait an hour for a table. When questioned further he said tables were in 15 minute slots but gained impression we were not welcome as we were not dressed smartly. Saw two ladies turned away for the same reason. Took our business to Ask restaurant and had lovely service and a lovely meal. In this day and age of customer service this was very poor and will never visit the restaurant again.

Amazing little deli set in the heart of Stamford! The lady sales person today fantastic no pressure to sell you anything 10/10 ! Being an Italian we bought a few goodies as you can see by the pictures! A very high class deli & affordability is great ! Also next to it joining on to their restaurant very vibrant!

I've visited this independent, family-run restaurant several times over the past few years and it never fails to impress me. The couple who run the restaurant and their team really try their best to provide great, friendly, professional service and absolutely delicious food every time. I cannot praise the atmosphere, service and food highly enough. I would definitely recommend.

Visited 15th June 2023 5.30pm 4 in our party food was excellent I have to say the Duck Lasagne deserves an award in my opinion, stunning, the crab linguine was also rated highly, can it be repeated ? I'll be back again soon to find out.

We were greeted by a really nice waiter and taken to our table. The service was very good on the whole. For our main meal my wife and I both had the crab linguine. Unfortunately both our meals were swimming in oil/butter and had lots of crab shell, which really wasn't pleasant

Fourth visit here, not as good as previous visits. Food very heavy on the garlic which didn't add but rather masked the taste of main dishes. Charged extra £1 for gluten free, whilst happy to pay for my dietary restrictions I should have been informed rather than just seeing charge on the bill. Staff efficient but sat at rear of restaurant near toilets .. which reduced atmosphere. Shame as usually good.

Went for lunch yesterday and it was diabolical. The food was drenched in fat. The courgette pasta was inedible, due to fact that it was full of minced garlic and drenched in butter and olive oil. The Ragu was tasteless and very disappointing. The best thing was the Spicd Pear Cocktail. Will not be returning and no ambience in the Restaurant.

We all ordered starters , fried squid , dough balls ( best I've ever had ) Mains , we had 2 crab linguine, Napoli pizza and the nduja* meatballs and all agreed were great portion sizes and very tasty indeed Desserts taken were biscoff cheese cakes and chocolate mousse , myself opted for a latte as was already full up Service throughout was friendly and prompt Would I / We return again ?

If you're booking at a weekend you have to pay £10 per person deposit in advance.. With today's lifestyle of people getting poorly with covid at the last minute, I think this would encourage people to turn up, poorly or not !!!! Tables and chairs are comfy enough. Service was adequate. There is only one toilet per gender, so you end up having people awkwardly waiting outside to use the loo. The food could be better with a little tweek here and there.... the muscles were unexpectedly spicey, and the breaded steaks were quite dry. I do personally also believe that £65 for a steak is too much.......

We really enjoyed our dinner with friends at Cloisters. The menu isn't extensive, but there is enough to please most and the quality and flavour were excellent. We visited on Tuesday evening and the place was busy but not full, but having enjoyed the experience so much we booked again for Thursday, which was a good job, as by 8pm every table was taken. Small husband and wife front of house team were really lovely and friendly, made us very welcome, by the time we left we felt like family! Deli next door has selection of basic ingredients and a few sweet treats.

Went for our first meal out as a couple in 2 years and Cloisters made it worth the wait. All 3 courses and the antipasti were amazing. The wine was beautiful and the service was faultless. The only thing I would note is take cash for the tip as we weren't able to add it on when we paid by card so had to leave without a tip which I think was so deserved. Will definitely be back.

The girl answering the phone was extremely polite, helpful and friendly to me which should be acknowledged seeing how busy the phones were! Food was just amazing, delicious and high quality we had pizzas and the gnocchi! We’ve decide to make this a regular treat 🙂 well done cloisters 👍🏻

Never got to try any of their food as their customer service was so poor when I went in to order that I decided not to even bother. The woman in charge of ordering appears to have no interest in taking the time to answer questions, receiving customer feedback or generally just delivering a good customer experience. My suggestion is to boycott Cloisters until they learn the basics.

Was a very friendly greeting, waitress very helpful, to a degree, was disappointed to have to scan a qr code (my phone doesn't have that option) for a menu, asked for a "physical" menu, we got the impression that we were putting them out, a disposable one was, begrudgingly, given to us, the appetizer arrived, massive, very enjoyable, given plenty of time to enjoy it, main course was delicious, spoilt only by having to, almost demand, some parmesan cheese, this again given begrudgingly, that said we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and there was plenty of it. All in all, a good experience, pity though that bottles of beer on offer, excessively priced.

Terrible experience, my wife and I spent a day shopping in Stamford and had pre booked a table at Cloisters as we had heard good reviews about the place. On arrival all seemed fine. But after our starter our daughter had sent us a short video clip which we watched as we waited for our mains. We were told by the head waitress to turn it off as we were disturbing the other dinners. none of the other dinners blinked an eye at our video clip from our daughter which we played quietly to ourselves. I complained to the head waitresses and was met by severe hostility from the waitress. This is not the sort of service I expect from a cheap pretend Italian restaurant and I will be telling all not to bother as the staff are very rude and un approachable with attitude towards their paying customers. However our evening was not spoilt as we had a fantastic meal in the kings head in Stamford where staff and service could not be faulted.
