Went into La Pizzicata for a meal.I had the Spaghetti and shellfish from the specials menu . It was so good in my opinion it would have been just as taste WITHOUT the shellfish.I was looked after by Allie and the new Waitress Abbie. Abbie has been a customer of La P for years so as a result the Good Lady knows what is expected from the our side of the counter. Message to management look after her, she is good.I will definitely be eating in La P

After being recommend this restaurant, some friends and I visited La Piazetta last night. On arrival our table was very squashed in but we asked to move an were accommodated quickly. We waited along time to order drinks, the wine we wanted wasn't available but was offered a suitable alternative, unfortunately had to ask 3 times for a jug of water. We ordered and the menu had a good selection aswell as the specials. Unfortunately the waiter had made a mistake with one of the orders so one of our party had to eat after we had all finished. The food was OK, meat was chewy and red wine jus tasted and looked like balsamic glaze which was not pleasant. Risotto very overpowering with Garlic and ruined the sea bass. Desserts were ordered, again with a nice selection, sticky toffee pudding was DRY not at all sticky, with No sauce, not a sticky toffee pudding, more just a dry sponge cake, no apology offered after this wasnt eaten. The service left alot to be desired. When paying the waiting staff were rude and we heard them being very unkind, unprofessional and disrespectful about us even though we happily paid the service charge included! The atmosphere is not one of an authentic italian restaurant more a cafe or take away pizza place. We will not be returning as there is some really amazing Italian restaurants in the area.

Our Mothers Union group of eight enjoyed a fabulous Christmas lunch! The chicken dish with Parma ham was delicious. Those having the sea bass were also pleased. One lady had the lamb dish and enjoyed the dish with its rich gravy very much. The waitress was very patient and dealt with all our various requests. Lovely puddings too. The plum tart was the favourite. Everyone went home happy.

I visited with two friends on Friday after having to follow up my booking request by phone as the contact via their website and email failed. It was my friend's 40th birthday and I felt confident with my restaurant choice as I'd had a lovely meal there a few years previously. Nice interior and size. The menu looked great but there was an incredibly noisy large table right in the middle and the people working there looked so stressed that it made me feel a little on edge too. Menu looked good, luckily we noticed the specials board ourselves but took a while to get round to taking our orders and then we were told that the steak special that I really wanted was out of stock which was a bit disappointing. King prawn tempura was cold, my friends' really enjoyed their main courses - my primavera with added chicken was okay but overly buttery in the sauce in the bottom of the dish. Prosecco was nice and reasonable value but not sure I'll be overly keen on returning sadly.

I use La Piazzetta regularly. In August La P had a complete refurb. See photos attached. I went in there shortly after it opened and a customer said it looked like The Ivy. Unfortunately since the refurb the Waitress Emma has left who was absolutely fabulous. Some of the Waiters /Waitresses that I have not seen for years have come back. Which must say something about the place. The food is always delicious. I have always said that if you want to know a good restaurant follow the locals.

The atmosphere was bubblig and the service was impecable despite the very full restaurant. The meal was first class - we shared a most unusual starter of crabmeat with mango and avacado; we then moved on to a main course of monk fish wrapped in bacon on a bed of spinach etc. and surrounded by a delicious lightly spiced cream sauce. Somehow we found room for a dessert each - a raspberry creme brulee and a tirimisu and the whole meal washed down with a wonderful flinty white wine. We finished off in typical Italian style with espresso and grappa and went home very happy.

Eleven members of our Mother's Union group had a wonderful Christmas lunch. The chicken breast stuffed with tiger prawns and wrapped in Parma ham was chosen by nearly half of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it! I particularly enjoyed the mushroom sauce and excellent roast new potatoes that came with it. Those who had the cod and the pork choices were also very pleased with the freshness and taste of their dishes. I then had the cheesecake which was very filling and wonderfully creamy. Others enjoyed the creme brulee, the Brownies in chocolate sauce, and the apple pie with ice-cream. For dietary reasons two of our members needed the Christmas menu adapting and this was sorted out easily. Thank you for a memorable meal.

The pizza was really good and the other food also looked good. The people are really nice but what I like the most is the place itself. It’s simple place but clean and relaxing. The decoration and design are not over the top. At the end, it should be all about the food.

We visited La Piazetta three nights ago. There was a good varied menu. Although quite noisy, this was simply because people seemed to be having a good time. Although the restaurant was really busy, we did not have to wait long before the waitress took our orders for drinks. The service was really friendly and we could watch chef prepare the various dishes as he was cooking at the back of the restaurant. Probably not the best place For quiet intimate dining, but food really good with generous helpings and was an enjoyable evening out.

Me, my brother and his girlfriend went to the restaurant on Saturday after searching on TripAdvisor as we visited Virginia Water Lake and wanted some good dinner. The restaurant was small, but cosy and staff was friendly from the beginning. They were happy to help with the recommendation for starters and the food was truly great. We had some salad with bacon, avocado and crutons and another one was baked mushrooms with a goat cheese and it was absolutely delicious. For mains we had selections of pasta and all three of them were amazing, there was nothing negative to say. The only thing was a pricey beer, but it was our choice. Staff seems to love their job, smiling and making you welcome. Portions were really generous and we were leaving satisfied. I will definitely come back when in Virginia Water Lake!

We visited La Piazzetta whilst on a family trip to Thorpe Park. We were staying on site at the hotel but decided to eat here, and it certainly was a good choice. The restaurant has simple decor but is very clean and it was great to be able to see your meal being cooked in front of you, which gives you great confidence in hygiene standards. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the wait for food was not long, despite the restaurant being fairly busy. Between the 4 of us, we had a choice of pizzas and pasta dishes and we all agreed that the food was excellent.

Rather than our usual evening meal there we sampled luncheon fare yesterday and, as always, were surprised and delighted by the variety and quality on offer. As it was lunch we decided to have two starters each instead of a main course. We both had Calamari, this was not the usual breaded or battered Calamari but simply cooked and presented on a bed of delicious salad. My husband had Goats Cheese on a bed of salad and very tasty - I went for the Moules Marinieres in a cream and garlic sauce and I really loved it. The house wines were certainly a cut above the average but we limited ourselves to a glass each - it was lunchtime!!! We will certainly repeat this experience.

We stoped here during a week day on our way back home from Ascot. Looking for something Italian we were positively surprised by the high quality of ingredients and the taste of a good portion of Spaghetti al Cartoccio. Being Italian we tend to refer to the traditional recipes and here we were absolutely thrilled by the fresh fish and well cooked pasta 'al dente'.Prices were more than reasonable, including the garlic and mozzarella pizza we shared as starter. Although baked in an electric oven the dough was perfect.The location of the restaurant is not ver appealing but us conveniently close to the train station. Inside the dining room is not huge but nicely decorated and the staff was very friendly. Week done to the chef!

I'm not easy to please but this definitely did it. Fantastically friendly service, excellent food - always nervous about veggie lasagne - but this was honestly the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Great atmosphere even though there was only one table when we arrived. By the time we left it was packed and it's easy to see why. By the way we're not all veggie, apparently the stuffed chicken and the spicy meat pizza were great too!! The garlic toast? Heavenly.

Ok simple rustic italian food. The setting is ok rather than fantastic and the place is small, clean and modern and is more suited to a lunch time meal rather than evening or a romantic meal.We went on a week night and did not book as were driving through and went on the spur of the moment.It was about 8.30 pm, and there was only one other table of customers. The tiled floor does not absorb any noise so it lacked a lot of atmosphere.We had the Carbonara pasta with chorizo and did not enjoy it as much as a normal carbonara.It was not Spanish chorizo as we know it, it was something else, rustic sausage. The pizza looked good but dough was too thick and stodgy I left loads of the crust and I noticed the other table did the same.The lasagna lacked flavour / bland with course mince, rustic rather than refined.All three of us did not finish our food, which is not the norm. So this Italian its not to our taste and we will not be returning

Nice casual Italian restaurant(I 'd categorise this as trattoria) that seems to acquire a lot of local regulars.Today's special menus on the chalk board are particularly recommendable.We had cod wrapped with Parma ham and sliced veal kidney + bacon with wine sauce for main, both were good. We didn't have pizza this time but their pizza is quite good too. This trattoria doesn't have so much of "wow" factor but if you want to enjoy simple and honest Italian food with a relaxed atmosphere, it's a good one. No wonder locals love this eatery.

Takeaway Menu is only slightly limited compared with their table menu but just as delicious! It's worth booking if you want to eat in at normal busy times as it's quite a small restaurant but well worth a visit if you haven't been.

If you want to make a change to your dish, the staff are always accommodating which is a sign of an excellent chef. The owner getting involved with the cooking is also a good sign ! There are always specials on the board if you fancy a change from your favourite. Local restaurants like this should get our full support.

I called in on an impulse. Food was well presented and served quickly. The quality was very good and a glass of house wine was very agreeable.

Another super evening at La Piazzetta - it must really be one of the best restaurants the area. As usual we chose the specials - cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and in a delicious creamy sauce followed by Tilapia (a fish previously unknown to us but really delicious) in a tomato sauce with fresh spinach and little roast potatoes - all washed down with Orlindo's recommendation of an Australian white - no pudding, no room - but followed by espressos and inevitably grappa.

The calamari starter was a real surprise. The risotto of the day was delicious, although my partner thought the portion was a little large and the pizza I had was very nice indeed. My only negative comments would be that the soft drinks were from a bottle (2L) and the pizza crust was a bit too crispy.

It's tiny. Nothing flashy at all in this flashy village! But the pizzas are wonderful. Bargain bill. Kids love it too.

Visiting the area, I checked TripAdvisor for the best local restaurant and found La Piazzetta to be sitting at #1. Reading the descriptions, it ticked all the boxes and its location was perfect for a number of reasons. When we arrived, I checked TripAdvisor again to make sure I had the right place as sat in the midst of a parade of shops, from the outside, it was not quite what I expected. Nevertheless a warm greeting as we got to the door, a very nice seat and pleasant interior reassured me and then our delightful waitress brought our menus and glorious food.Calamari fritte - fantastic; garlic bread - lovely; pizzas - excellent; asparagus and prawn risotto - simply magnificent. Someone else remarks they are spoiled for such a local restaurant and I would endorse this wholeheartedly - the food is superb and the staff and atmosphere lovely. I'll be scheduling a re-visit for certain!

Service excellent, food excellent, piping hot and very large portions. It was the little things like filling up our water jug without being asked and making a little jug of chocolate sauce when my son ordered the vanilla ice cream and asked if they had any chocolate sauce that really made the meal stand out for us.Will certainly be returning when we are next in the area.

Really great service, had pizza and a glass of wine to wind down from first day back to work after the bank holiday weekend.I got the Hawaiian pizza and it was cooked to perfection, classic Italian base not too heavy.Service was fantastic, very nice gentleman- think it may have been the owner. The restaurant itself was small, very lively and busy with the noise of other patrons talking.Would definitely come back!

We are spoiled by having such a lovely family-run restaurant on our doorstep. Often packed, quite noisy, very friendly, superb food, reasonable prices and a sensible wine-list. Not very big, so difficult if you don't book.

Sure it can get cramped, noisy and hot plus the decor and tableware are basic (cafe like) but the food is delicious, plentiful, hot and good value (for the area). Very worthy of its number 1 status.

Really good food properly cooked! A family business with a great menu & excellent service. You can see the chefs working& your food is served piping hot, often a problem in other restaurants, strangely. The food is delicious & the house wine very pleasant. There are different specials every day to cater for all tastes. Everything is very clean & nothing is too much to ask.

The food, the staff/service and atmosphere at La Piazzetta is unrivaled and second to none. The food is exceptional and wonderful value for money. It has recently gone through a refurbishment that has created even more of fantastic experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending family, friends, colleagues & associates to La Piazzetta with the utmost confidence that they would have a thoroughly tasty & exceptional meal.I just love this restaurant!!!!!

Lovely Chinese, but revolting batter on the fish. Batter is soft and fatty rather than crisp. Friendly service but horrible batter.

Booked for lunch in 23rd Sept meeting up with an Aunt and Uncle in their 80s. Firstly on arrival kindly advised we need to be gone by 2pm. Make waiter then proceeded to advise of lunch specials. On ordering 3 of us wanted a simple change to our main courses. 2 we’re without salad dressing, 1 was could a sauce be placed on the side. Well the damn rude response was you can’t have it like that you’ll ruin the taste!! Then on the sauce on the side he advised the diner to choose again from the menu. To be honest the only reason we stayed was the age of our guests. Had the 10% service charge removed off bill and paid. Never have we ever been served so rudely in any restaurant. We would never return and we hope they reflect in this to serve any others customers in a better way.
