La Gondola in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent value for money, no skimpy portions here. Staff are lovely. Food was flavoursome as was the wine! We hadn't booked but they squeezed us in, we would definitely book next time as it gets busy between 5 & 6pm for happy hour.

Was recommended by friends - we went for Early Bird on Tuesday had delicious pasta . Though it was extremely busy the waitress was exceptional as was the food and service. So much so that we went back today , Thursday equally as good. Believe we were lucky to get a booking our advice therefore s to book to avoid disappointment.

What more do you want from a restaurant than good food served by friendly staff? La Gondola provides both. I would highly recommend the chicken kebab though all of us really enjoyed our food. We will be back.

Last night my son in law and three friends callled in to this place after the England match and politely asked if they could be squeezed in. Each year this group of friends cycle from Barnsley to Filey, rent accommodation and spend a couple of days here before cycling home again. They are all in their late 40’s and are well dressed and well spoken. A youngish server immediately said that she thought she could juggle a few things and get them in. A much older woman interjected and with a welcoming completely dead pan expression said quite bluntly’No’ and sent them packing. The older woman had obviously decided they were louts or hooligans, they weren’t drunk or even close as they were cycling back home early Sunday morning. We live in Filey and generally it’s a really friendly place but this attitude of some businesses leaves me baffled, apparently they can afford to turn away business from respectable people by making rash assumptions. If they carry on like this I hope they struggle sufficiently to have to change their name again and end up with lots of empty tables. I’ll not spend my hard earned cash their and I’m here 365 days of the year

We came here tonight and the meal was really nice and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely come back next time we come back to Filey.

Jeannie's party: we were a party of eight all warmly welcomed and quickly seated; drinks came quickly. The ambience is informal. The food was authentic Italian chosen from the main menu and specials. My seafood dish, mussels, squid, clams etc was served in the most delicious garlicy, herby sauce, which I wanted to last forever! Excellent pate to start with, clearly chef made. They were happy to sort the bill out for couples and individuals to pay separately. All very happy and satisfied diners.

Lovely food, friendly waiting staff. My son made friends with the chef who made him a special pizza. Very reasonable tasty food. We will definitely be back.

We have just had a lovely few days at The Bay Filey. We all fancied an Italian meal and came across La Gondola. What a great choice. The food was amazing. My grandson was so impressed with his pizza he wanted to thank the chef. The chef was so busy he didn’t have time to come out, so my grandson wrote him a note. The waitress was lovely with him. We returned the following night as the food was so good. He did get to meet the chef this time which made his night. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with lovely waiting staff then please give La Gondola a try. We shall definitely return when next in the area. Thank you all at La Gondola.

I ordered the chicken kebab, it was lathered in oily yogurt sauce and the suspected chicken was dried up cubes. After I mentioned this to the waitress it was removed and I was offered another meal. I ordered the lasagna as the dish my friend had looked good. I was told it would be another 10 minutes - after what seemed like an eternity. I cancelled to be told it was now ready. By this time I had had enough. The lasagna was put in a takeaway box. I was told I wouldn’t be welcome back, well actually I wouldn’t want to come back Karen!

First visit and not disappointed. Friendly staff and good service the food was piping hot and well presented. The happy hour is great value and there was no pressure to give up the table. We would definitely visit again.

Very tasty food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. All 4 of us were very impressed, would love to return.

Having a little break in filey fancied an italian for a meal out. La gondola was lovely, the food was beautiful, so reasonably priced. The lady and gent that served us were great too. If you go I 100% recommend the lasagna definitely the best I have tasted.

Excellent menu, good choice, pleasant staff, but waited longer than I would have expected for food. When It did arrive it was hot, very tasty and plentiful at a price that was not out of the way. I would certainly go back there again.
