Cotton Tails Cafe in Hertsmere

Great service! Thank you so much to Mihai for be so helpful and kind!

Not enough staff and food appalling. My sister and I ordered Tuscan soup to start (which I had ordered before and liked) but it was totally inedible as it tasted sour as if it was off and we had to send it back, so just had bread that came with it. My main was spaghetti bolognaise which has very little sauce and had to ask for more. The dessert I had was chocolate cake with mascapone cream. The cake itself was heavy and there was only a teaspoon of mascapone cream served with it so again had to ask for more. So the starter, main and dessert were all disappointing. They also didn't have any mash which was meant to come with my sister's main.

Love this place and it never disappoints! There are now 4 Italians in Bushey and this is buy far the best!

Food was authentic and absolutely delicious!

This is a small, unassuming Italian restaurant that one might be forgiven for thinking probably offers standard high Street Italian fare. But it doesn't - the food is exceptionally good and easily rivals some of the best Italian food you'll find in central London. The pasta, high quality and al dente, was delicious and the sauces fantastic. The garlic bread was thin, light and crispy, the garlic and rosemary flavour a subtle delight. The desserts were brilliant as well. The service was a little bit basic and the ambience and decor likewise. But it doesn't matter and can be forgiven - the food is that good and amazing to find in this location. A classic and really extensive menu (especially for the size of restaurant) with simple, familiar dishes but all of it was executed brilliantly. A great find, a great chef and I highly recommend a visit.
