Food is ok not very authentic , nothing special really, pizza to take away is very basic. Considering the price you would expect some fresh basil herbs or garlic to be offered. . Service is slow. No atmosphere really . Shame really.

While the staff are friendly, the reason the review is so low is due to the fact the menu doesn't indicate if a meal is vegetarian or not. Upon one of us ordering a mushroom bolognese pasta, on the dishes arrival we were shocked that it was a beef dish, with no mention of meat on the menu, we mentioned this to the waitress, when we asked if it were possible to swap the dish and we were met with a very quick and panicked you have to pay for it. Which would of been fine if it were our mistake, but with no mention of it in the menu anywhere (not even a note somewhere explaining their personal Bolognese is a meat sauce) and us mentioning that 2 of us were vegetarian when ordering and the waitress not calmly explaining it wouldn't be possible, we didn't feel like purchasing another dish. The friendlyness of the staff won't be enough for us to ever go back, especially as on top of this all the toasted bread tasted like partly cooked dough, and only 1 of 4 was fully happy about their meal.

First time here but will return. We loved the small statues and the Italian decor. Lovely place eventhough the dining is upstairs and I didn't see any access for those with mobility issues to get there so can not take my mam next time. Food was so nice, tasty and plentiful. Reasonably priced but drinks were cheap.

Staff were very welcoming. Food tasted good on the whole, although no fresh herbs on pasta / caprese (dried herbs sprinkled over the top of both). No atmosphere & a radio station provided the music. Have always visited this restaurant over the years, however I feel standards have dropped.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and was very quiet. The food was excellent, the pizza in particular, the lasagne was tasty but I'd order a side with it if I went again. The wine was a tad on the expensive side, but you kind of expect that, overall, I'd say it was good value for money. The waiter was a character and a nice chap. The only negative was that it was coldish in there.

Plus we didn’t have to wait too long considering there was so many of us and the food came out at the same time. I would post a photo but we all cleared our plates before I could take any photos!

Arrived at 19.15, 3 of our mains finally came out at 21.20. .. My partners came out 20 mins later after getting the order wrong twice, 2nd time bringing out a meat dish when she can't eat meat for medical reasons. 3 tables also came in after us and got served their meals a good time before us, shambolic. Raised my issues with the waiting staff who agreed we had not had the best night and offered free desserts and drinks in fairness but we just wanted to leave by this point so I asked for our experience to be considered when preparing the bill. The bill came with no discount applied and when I questioned this with the owner he was extremely rude and aggressive, apparently waiting 2 hours for your main course is normal... Finally when I told him I was not paying for my partners meal he said it would have to come out of the waiters tips... I really hope this didn't happen as I do believe the place was understaffed for a Saturday night. Disgusting behaviour from mgmt. and the food was mediocre in comparison to other Italians I've been to, definetly avoid the scallops. Won't be going again!

Waiting staff are fantastic!! Scallops as starter was shockingly bad, was told the mains would make up for it yum yum. Mains... Rib eye steak with chips and salad, not very Italian but safe choice... Absolutely shocking. Frozen chips, salad made by an infant (no offence to infants) and a rib eye that lost the eye some time ago. Apparently the owner spent 25 years in Italy...

Very over priced. Paid £8 for scallops that were listed as fresh baked scallops seasoned with Italian herbs served with toasted bread. What was put in front of me was a pot of crumbled bread and seasoned with cheese with about 1 scallop chopped up in to small pieces. My main was adequate but the whole meal seemed to be overpriced. As you can probably tell, I was majorly disappointed about my scallops.

We have been eating at Bilal's even before his name appeared over the door. Sadly, due to Covid 19 restrictions, we have had to revert to a smaller, takeaway menu over the last 4 months but the quality, quantity and flavour have not changed one bit. We order regularly and the delivery guy is absolutely charming, always making me laugh. We, as a family cannot wait to dine at the restaurant again to enjoy the fresh seafood and pasta dishes we have been able to thoroughly enjoy since our trip to Lucca, Italy.

I absolutely love the food, the service and the value for money at this restaurant, the only thing that really let's it down is how loud it is in side. Being a small premises with lots of hard surfaces general sounds of everyone talking is very loud and you can barely hear across the table and it's far from a nice experience. They could do with lots more soft furnishing to prevent the echoing sounds.
