Oh my goodness don’t waste your time or money. The meal took for ever and when it arrived it was awful. Apparently they are low in plates , I mean seriously!!! Cocktails if that’s what you can all them tasted disgusting! There is no organisation whatsoever. I’ve here last year when there was a lovely young man who was the manager and he ran the place so well and was very friendly and organised . Now it’s so badly ran and I will never set foot in there again. Don’t waste your hard earned money folks

Last minute decision, at a lose end and attempted the 24’ pizza (failed) but excellent quality, service just as high and having brought my dog, a slightly cheaper date than my wife, the meatballs were definitely 💯 recommend by her. Thank you, wouldn’t hesitate in going again.

We came for Valentines Day and had the set menu. On arrival, we were given a complementary drink which was lovely, unfortunately everything went downhill from there. We waited an hour for our starter and struggled to get the young (but polite) waiter’s attention to get another drink so sat there with nothing. The arancini was completely tasteless and the scallops were greasy. There was another long wait of 45mins or so for our main and again we couldn’t get a drink while we were waiting. The steak we had for our main was ok, not unpleasant but nothing special, mine was overcooked but I was too hungry to send it back. There was another ridiculously long wait for the dessert, and when it arrived it was really disappointing, neither of us finished them. The young waiters apologised for our wait and gave us 20% off as an apology but it was a genuinely terrible meal and really spoiled what was a rare night out for us without our children. We won’t be going back.

Set 3 course meal £45 per person. Nice welcome with a complementary drink. Starter was very nice. Main was OK served on a cold plate though. Desert was just awful 😖. Service started well but that was good as it got. The 2 young waiters spent most of their time in the bar. Waited around 40min between main and desert with no offer of any more drinks. We joked it was a bit like a Come Dine with me experience. Won't be going back...

Terrible experience. We went as a group of 7 friends, ordered 3 bottles of wine, they had none of the wine on the menu and no alcohol free beers. One person ordered a Mojito which delivered as a bright green syrupy drink with crème de menthe. we were told this was how they did a mojito! The food was very poor. The garlic mushrooms had no garlic. Pork belly very good IF you are only ordering for the belly. An excellent choice if you like eating fat and a poor choice if you like pork. Prawns pil pil very nice if you actually want tiny shrimps. Salt and pepper fries poor and greasy. Disappointed all round. Won’t be visiting again. Sorry but you really need to up your game, get some decent wine and quality ingredients in.

You go for the food quality & variety and stay for the Tiramisu! Another fantastic visit prior to Xmas, never had a bad meal here - the 22’ pizza is only not opted due to the need to fit the Tiramisu in.

We booked a table at 6:30pm and preordered our food - we didn’t get drinks until 7pm and the first dish arrived at 7:20pm. The last dish did not arrive until 7:45 - there was only 8 of us and half had finished before the others food arrived. The chef forgot about two dishes and we had to remind them to bring them out. Honestly the worst dining experience and the front of house are clueless - we had food one the table for 10 minutes before we even got a knife and fork….

I rarely write reviews but this was such a great experience that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. The food was excellent and well priced with a comprehensive selection of dishes. Our waiter Micky could not have been any more helpful and really turned this into a perfect lunch.

We've visited a few times now and it's fabulous every time. Previously my partner has been disappointed that there wasn't a draught beer option, however on this visit he was super happy with the Neck Oil on draught which is his favourite. Food was lovely as usual and staff welcoming. We will be booking again soon!

What a lovely place, staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered garlic bread and a few tapas dishes which were a generous size. All served fresh and piping hot. We will certainly visit again.

Visited on Friday to try the new Christmas menu. We ordered the duck bon bons, sage and onion scotch egg and the brie wedges along with a 24inch pizza. Everything was tasty, just be aware the 24inch pizza's are huge!! We had to take half of it home, we obviously didnt mind. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

Visited on the night of the Christmas light switch on, didn’t book and were busy but seated us anyway, service was very attentive but not over the top (perfect) the guys were amazing and there was a very sweet girl waiter who took our orders, food was perfect we ordered a pizza and some Christmas tapas and regular tapas, all came out within 20 minutes and we enjoyed some cocktails, they had new cocktails on the menu and we even got some free mini shots at the end of our meal, Thankyou to everyone involved for a lovely evening.

Unfortunately we had a bad experience her. Booked in at 7.30. Still sat waiting for food at 9 with absolutely no explanation. The young waiters, who were lovely but obviously need further training, had to be approached to ask where our food was to be told they had a problem with the oven! However, we watched large collection of just eat food going out and other tables around us getting food. We paid for our drinks and left hungry and dissapointed

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of 11 friends. Firstly we were asked to pre-order as a large group which we did but I don't think this works for tapas. The food was tasty, well cooked & presented nicely, cannot fault the food. However, the service was terrible, despite there being a lot of Staff on duty, we felt ignored by them. The restaurant was not busy but the staff were pretty much not there. We were ignored when arriving, one friend waited 20 minutes for a gin & tonic on arrival, when chased, response was rude not apologetic at all. We were not asked if anything was alright until we had finished, nor if we needed anything else and did not have the opportunity to order any more drinks than what we ordered on arrival as no staff came near the table. We would have had a lot more drinks if able to order so the restaurant missed out here. Turns out the young inexperienced staff felt no need to be present in the restaurant to respond to our needs but were more concerned with what appeared to be socialising and eating around the bar. There is a lack of supervision of the waiting on staff, hence we purposefully left no tip. Sadly despite the food being good & the ambiance & decor being lovely, we will not visit again as the staff are so inattentive. Sadly despite Sadly despite

Group of 7 of us went on a Sunday evening We were the only ones in there, no music no atmosphere, we all ordered 2-3 tapas each, I’ve got to say & we all said it was unbelievably shocking and how any one could actually serve it as food was a joke, Pork burnt ends were just either pure fat with no meat or that burnt you actually couldn’t chew them, gambas pil pil was tiny tiny prawns almost shrimp that were that over cooked you could of used them as bullets and not a hint of garlic the Jerk salmon had no jerk on it and was a tiny piece of overcooked salmon and a big piece of peach (fish & fruit) didn’t mention the fruit on menu, fish & fruit should never be served together, mojo beet was edible but all of the above also had no taste whatsoever, no seasoning and was all swimming in oil, that’s just a quick snapshot of the best bits, plates were dirty & they didn’t have quite a few things we tried to originally order from drinks to food. I would rather eat dogfood out of a tin than go here again, I’ve had some bad meals in my 50 plus years but this was by far the worse ever!

Utterly disappointing. Ordered starters and mains. All food came at the same time an hour and ten minutes later. Tried to charge us £7 for the most lame bread and dipping oils we have ever had. Food ordered was not what we got. Three out of the four drinks we ordered were not available. Ran out of bottle beer so was given cans and a dirty glass. The house white was like vinegar. The only positive was the pizza was delicious. We were later told there was only one person in the kitchen. No atmosphere. A little music would have been nice. Would not go again.

Quiet atmosphere and a bit of a wait for food but it was worth it. The Lamb koftas with red cabbage were wonderful; cod kofta, salmon jerk, garlic mushrooms I would recommended them all. Strong flavours, great combinations. The hummus was also good but for some reason the bread that came with it was disappointing - very hot and stodgy. However, not enough to spoil a great meal. Service was ok but overall the food was the star.

My sister and I decided to try Love Lane, enticed by the delicious food photos on Facebook, and we were absolutely delighted! The cuisine was amazing, the staff exceptionally attentive, and the atmosphere perfectly relaxed. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

Food was okay but wouldn't describe as a cosy environment as is advertised. While waiting on staff pleasant, it's a odd experience to just have 4/5 track suited young lads hanging out around the bar with their girlfriends in and between running plates of food. More the vibe of a youth club!

We arrived a little early which was fine so seated straight away...Drinks order was taken but unfortunately the wine we wanted they said they had run out..the young lads in there serving were very good apart from one who was holding a girls hand across the bar and didn't seem interested in anyone else that he had to be told by another member of staff to take an order ....it didn't look good the (girlfriend) if that was what she was sitting across the bar watching something on a tablet and being intimate with a member of staff not something you want to see and not great customer experience....apart from that the other staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was really good we had a selection of small plates and all were really good . First time here but definitely return.

We went to try out the new menu & weren't disappointed. The Cod & Lamb koftas were delicious accompanied by parmesan truffle fries and feta flatbread. James was very attentive All in all a very nice evening 😊

Meh, so slooooooow. After hearing about the hype, I was really disappointed. The menu was, in my opinion, limited. Our first choice of main was sold out, at 7:30pm, hardly late for a Saturday evening. The suggested alternative a seafood risotto took approximately 45 mins and when it came it was saltier than the Dead Sea. The waiting staff were lovely, but too few and rushed off their feet.

Great atmosphere, delicious meal, friendly staff and really good value for money. We are new to the area and very pleased to discover Barchetta as our new local restaurant! Plenty of choice on the menu, we are looking forward to our next visit.

I went for lunch to celebrate my son’s 2nd birthday, and I was absolutely disgusted with the service. Despite my son clearly wearing a birthday badge, not a single staff member wished him a happy birthday. The staff were rude and miserable, and when I raised my concerns with the manager, I was shocked by their response: “They don’t understand English.” I left feeling incredibly upset. I would not recommend this place at all. If you’re considering visiting, go to the Wilmslow location instead, they’re much friendlier.
