Been lots of times in the past and received a really good experience, unfortunately on this occasion did not. We were a table of 13, one of the pizzas was burnt so returned for another to be cooked, 2nd one was undercooked. Some of the meals temperatures only just about warm, hot drinks at the end only just warm, childrens ice cream was wrong. They apologised and said it was because they were busy (which I appreciate) but we should receive the same attention to detail as all the other customers in the restaurant, and it felt like we were rushed all the way through from start to finish. Just because we are a larger table doesn't mean we should be rushed and the food/drink not be of the same quality as everyone elses. I was booking a table for next week for myself and friends, but this experience unfortunately has put me off :(

Enjoyed our meal with friends. Food was good value for money. However, the foccacia starter is not foccacia but a cheesy, herby pizza base which is disappointing.

Nice restaurant with a huge menu, but only a couple of items can be made vegan, which I found disappointing! (Nothing on the set lunch menu could be adapted, which is very limited and not made, so all dietary requirements can be enjoy it) Waiters' knowledge not great either, as they thought vegans could eat cream and cheese!?! The food that we had was nice. On the expensive side, though.

I booked a table two weeks in advance but felt we were given the last table available as if we had just walked in off the Street. It took 25 minutes to have our order taken. We had a starter which was fine. When our main meal arrived my husband didn't quite get what he ordered. Whilst they offered to get some chips for my husband, we declined, saying the food was fine, but it wasn't what was ordered. When our dessert was delivered they offered the wrong dessert to each of us. We had to ask for another drink, and at no time were we asked if our meal was satisfactory. We felt the service was not satisfactory and felt there was a lack of attention to detail and too much attention given to those who appeared to be regular customers, instead of everyone being treated equal. Our disappointment was reflected when we paid the bill, and omitted to leave a service charge.

Went out for a weekend dinner and were very excited to try this restaurant for the first time. The service was okay, but the issue was with the food. A portion of the spaghetti in my Bolognese was stuck together in a big clump, and my partner's tuna was quite plain. I was also surprised that the Aperol Spritz was served in a champagne coupe (which of course isn’t a big deal). Unfortunately, we left a bit disappointed, as we do love Italian food :(

From start to finish it was superb, the staff were attentive everybody's food came out together nice and hot and every single person commented on how delicious the food was. We brought our own birthday cake which again wasn't a problem. So all in all a fabulous evening. Thank you for making it memorable for all the right reasons.

I ordered a Cannelloni and on the menu it was described as tubes of pasta but what arrived was definitely Lasagne with sheets of pasta. Maybe they think it’s the same dish. The menu didn’t include the cheese either just beef and veggies. I asked for Penne pasta with bolognese sauce and this was definitely tubes. The food is good there but it would be nice if they updated the menu.

I'm a huge fan of their stone restaurant, feels very authentic and food is great. This branch is our local one so we have been more than the stone one but it does not hit the mark sadly. Seems to be different staff every time, food is not the best and why are they drowning the tiramisu (apologise for my spelling) is chocolate sauce? The lunch time meal (16 for 3 course) is great value but needs to be changed now and then.

I would put 0 stars if possible. Ordered food for my mother 50th birthday, half the food was missing, it came 45 minutes before the set time through just eat so there was waiting around for people to come back home. When ringing the restaurant they were very rude and said it’s a just eat problem! All the food had to be put in the oven to warm up even before other guests arrived. There was also food missing which they didn’t seem to care about. We had been to the restaurant previously for dining in where the food came out too quick and we had a heater over us which they wouldn’t turn off after we said we were too hot so we ended up turning it off ourselves! Very rude staff Would NOT recommend

Service and food were disappointing. I order a pasta dish and asked for it without mushrooms but when it came out it was full of mushrooms. I explained to the waiter that I requested it without mushrooms, he reluctantly took the dish back. My husband ordered a steak rare, but it looked more medium to well. When we explained this to the same waiter he actually argued trying to tell us it was rare. However he eventually took the dish back. We eventually both got what we ordered and how we ordered it but at different times. We did contemplate leaving when the dishes needed to go back due to waiters attitude, but thought we’d give them a chance to redeem themselves. The food was ok, but the waiters attitude remained a little off for the rest of the evening. I don’t think we’ll be returning to this restaurant.

Unfortunately after coming here for a long time we were let down, and I'll explain why. The positives were the food was spot on the service was spot on but that's where it ends Upon arrival we were shown to a rickety table (had to be propped up), the chair cushions stained, once the table was stable we looked at the menus and they were sticky and had food on them! Looked around and there was clearly a leak in the roof somewhere as there was staining and paint bubbling/ peeling, the place needs a re paint and some work done, the gent's toilets had loose taps, and they didn't clean up the floor where someone had clearly missed the urinal even though I did tell them when I came downstairs, and it was still the exact same when I left after the meal which is just bad hygiene 😕. For a venue we love to end up like this isn't good at all especially with the prices of the food, it used to be coming here was about an experience, about having what I pay for( punching alot higher when I'm paying premium quality prices), even the menu hasn't changed much, it's about having a Romantic night out and it really is not that experience any more, It's safe to say we won't be back untill things change at pasta Di piazza and I hate to say this but I'm been honest...

After coming to this restaurant for years. I feel this was the first time the standards had slipped. First impressions- we were sat on a rocky table, stained chairs with marked/ not wiped menus. Also, there was paint flaking on the ceiling - looked like a water leak. Not a great start. Food - food was OK. Came out quickly and was hot. Portion sizes have definitely gone smaller though. My only slight criticism was my calamari was slightly over so a bit chewy. Staff - were friendly and serviced us quickly. We both just felt the whole place needed some love and tlc throwing back into it.

Staff were polite and the environment is pleasant. But two side salads did not arrive (ordered once we saw that the lasagne didn't come with anything). And a dish contained mushrooms that my relative had specifically asked to not be in it. The waiter had written this on the order. Waitress was apologetic but this kind of error could be dangerous for some people. Lasagne wasn't particularly impressive and lacked flavour. Portions are reasonable but on the whole I found it an expensive evening.

Warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. But let's talk about the real star of the show – the food. It was nothing short of perfection. Each dish was crafted with precision and burst with authentic Italian flavors. I must say, it's among one of the best Italian cuisine I've had outside of Italy. Portions were generous, ensuring that no one left the table unsatisfied. Pleasantly surprised too by the impeccable cleanliness and fresh aroma. The hygiene standards were top-notch, reflecting the establishment's commitment to maintaining a pristine environment for its guests. It's not often that you come across such attention to detail, even in the most renowned dining spots.

Just to put this into context- I have never written a review on anything to date, but felt the need to share the last two experiences I’ve had here. This restaurant used to be incredible, reliable and a frequent go to for myself & friends. I went for a meal here two weeks ago and it was awful. All the sauces are watered down now. My steak was awful. The three people who had the lobster ravioli all said it was nothing like it used to be. We did mention this to the staff, who appeared to not care at all. I understand everyone has off days, so I gave it another opportunity. We ordered a takeout on Sunday from here. The food standard was again awful. The dishes weren’t even a touch on what they used to be. The brocolli we ordered wasn’t even cooked! We phoned to ask if we could collect another and the very rude staff member on the phone said no! There was no care for the fact the food hadn’t been up to standard. We will certainly not be attending again. What a shame such an amazing place has gone down hill.

Service was terrible, the food was not cooked fresh as came out incredibly quick, produce was cheap and basic. The reason for the terrible comment was there was no (enjoy your meal) or any form of interaction from the waitress. If felt like we wasn’t welcome. Basically the food came out within minutes and was delivered to the table in silence. I have never received service like this anywhere. Also when we was leaving there was nothing from the staff, I said thanks to the person behind the bar as it felt like we was invisible. In a nutshell lovely seating area and decor, however the food is mediocre and service is terrible. Unfortunately we will not attend again and we love Italian food ☹️

Sadly I find I need to share our experience. In fact one of the questions here said when did we visit and I had to answer March however we never got a table. We booked a table a few weeks prior to Mothers Day but didn’t know the exact numbers so we asked if we could confirm and pay the relevant deposit this was acceptable. So on Thursday the 7th March my Wife contacted the restaurant to confirm our numbers were in fact 8 and could we pay the deposit - the gentleman on the phone said your booking is confirmed but you don’t need to pay a deposit as it’s below 10 people. My wife repeatedly said so the table is booked then correct and he said yes. So we collected our relevant parents and didn’t feed the children with anticipation of what’s normally a place I’ve enjoyed going multiple times in the past. My Dad is 89 severely disabled can’t walk too far and has been diagnosed with heart failure getting him there was a struggle I have to half carry him. My mother who was also celebrating her 81st birthday on the same day has Crohn’s disease and finds it extremely hard in going out to enjoy meals. Upon arrival once I managed to get my father to the door my wife was upset - she said they haven’t got our table they have cancelled it. I was shocked but assumed this was a mistake however the lady manager who may I add is very rude and really not capable of doing her job said we tried to ring to confirm My wife asked to see the number - it was similar but she wrote the wrong digit down! Apparently that was my wife’s fault “apparently she repeats the number back” the same number she knows off the top of her head compared to someone writing it down but anyway the owner who give credit where credit is due has admitted they failed and the gentleman on Thurs should of confirmed it. Anyway we were very angry and frustrated and it was aimed at the incompetent manager in situ who personally coming from a Management Background is out of her depth and isn’t representing the company in the same manner that the owner has tried in the recent days. They ruined a Mother’s Day for 3 Mothers including my Wife and who wanted to do something nice for the family as this could very well be the last - she made her cry and a week under 2 year old baby cry. We couldn’t get in anywhere else and we let our parents down and they can never be forgiven for that - we shall never return & my advice would be to remove said manager to save your reputation. You need a manager that represents who you are as owners.

My daughter booked this for me and my husband, her mother and father in law, herself, husband and 2 children for Mother’s Day. She rand and booked but at that time there was a question mark over another 2 people. She rand a few days later and spoke to a male who retrieved the booking and my daughter confirmed the booking for 6 adults and 2 children. When we arrived in Mother’s Day we were told we no longer had a booking! The Manager said she had tried to ring my daughter 6 times the previous day but in checking she had written the wrong phone number down and the male hadn’t updated the booking. My daughter was in tears as she had arranged all this and the staff were not at all concerned that they had ruined Mother’s Day for 3 Mothers. In fact we were told to leave or they would ring the police. This is appalling behaviour towards customers in any day never mind a special day. Management have obviously looked into it and confirmed they were at fault and have since tried to bribe us with free drinks, free desserts etc. needless to say we will not be returning under any circumstances.

We have been frequent visitors since 2000 and eventually got to know many of the staff, such as Christine, who has served us over the years, and, more recently, Lister. On the 8th of March, we attended, and after ordering the food, it was served, we noticed that Penne ai Gamberetti bowl was hot; however, the pasta, salmon and prawns were cold; calling the waitress to explain, and she offered to get it replacement, within minutes the waitress returned, however, this time the food was warm as was the bowl; however, the wife then noticed the flakes of chilli that she had added to the food prior where still there, so calling the waitress over again, we informed her of this. However, she advised that the dish was replaced; we then questioned the chillies STILL in the food, and she advised that the chief must have re-added them. When the wife tried the food, it was hot, as was the bowl. However, the time to replace being so quick, she decided the food had been warmed up in a microwave. So, to be on the safe side, she only ate the pasta. We called for the bill and incorrectly received one for the table in front of us, so we had to speak to the person behind the bar, who advised the waitress to issue the correct table bill. Checking the bill, we questioned that the food was still on the bill; when we questioned this, she fetched a manager over whom we had never seen before, and we explained the situation. The manager’s tone changed for the worst; when we explained, she went and fetched the chef out of the kitchen, and at one point, both she and the chef had their voices raised to the point people were turning around and looking towards the table. At that moment, a statement sprang to mind: What happened to “right or wrong; the customer is always right”? At this point, we have NEVER felt so embarrassed, to the point that my wife, in a loud voice, said ’enough is enough’ you are upsetting our son with all your shouting to the point people appear astonished at your staff's outburst towards the public we will NEVER return, and do not feel comfortable recommending customers to this establishment. Sadly, standards have slipped quite a bit over time, and it is definitely not as good as it used to be.

Given this would have been one of the kitchens busiest evenings they were more than accommodating - all arranged easily over messenger by very friendly staff. Food was ready perfectly at the agreed time for collection and of course tasted absolutely delicious - not a bad word I can say. We were even given a free dessert (which was also delicious!!) Already planning another trip - this time in person - to try some more dishes.

Nice evening meal with friends and customers from overseas Pleasant friendly service Good pizza and pasta , great beer selection Starters are poor and portions far too small for the price , ie 5 calamari rings Overall though a place I look forward to re visit

In the main an enjoyable evening but a few things could be improved. Seven of us had nearly finished starters before the final three arrived after chasing up where they were. My prawns on Brusetta were fridge cold, would have been much nicer warm. There was an intermittent cold draft coming from the air con unit which was uncomfortable. The mains and desserts were nice and the staff were polite but sometimes hard to get their attention if needed. More check backs would help ensure everyone had what they needed. Would still recommend.

Had our wedding reception here and it was lovely, food is always excellent and waiting staff always helpful. Best local Italian, also great gluten free options available.

I will be quick , as quick as the food was given to us . The whole experience was just rushed . Average food rushed out , we were there no longer than 50 mins and the food quality was nothing to shout about, to be brutally honest my 12 year old daughter cooks pasta better than this and thats no dig at her but she's not paid to make our food, I won't be returning again.

Friendly service, extremely quick for fresh food. The fillet steak was cooked to my preference. The only downside & it's not the venue's fault large group of rowdy revellers also in, luck of the draw

Booked a table here for New Year’s Eve. When the food arrived it was wrong, once the waiter was informed of this I was told that the dish I ordered (tortellini) and the dish that arrived (tagliatelle) were basically the same. When I asked for it to be changed the waiter told me my husband would be halfway his food, we asked for both of our meals to be taken away and re-served. When I complained to management she sided with staff, and none of the problems were solved only meeting us with a lack of understanding. We paid the bill for drinks and left due to the poor customer service. Ruining our New Year’s Eve.

Christmas Eve with friends. Sent a pre-order weeks ago but staff claimed it hadn't been received. Unsure why nobody from the restaurant had contacted me? Luckily I had a paper copy of the order. Still got my starter wrong. Fortunately we were quickly served our order and the food was very good. I paid for the food but asked to pay for our drinks separately. Again this took far too long.

Went for an evening pre booked meal on a Friday. Friendly welcome. Very largely selection on the menu at reasonable prices. Nicely presented tasty meals which arrived promptly. Good service. Good lively atmosphere. Well worth returning to.

We have visited this restaurant a number of times and never had an issue. Sadly standards have slipped quite a bit and it is definitely not as good as it used to be. Service - this was poor. I know its the holiday season and its busy BUT to be fair this restaurant is always busy so really no difference in the party season. Staff were miserable and unfriendly and were not interested in any of the issues we raised. Service was also very slow. It was a particularly cold night and the restaurant was absolutely freezing. We ordered drinks which to an age to arrive. The bottle of red wine was actually cold, as though it had been in the fridge, so we returned it. The waitress brought it back and said it was room temperature, ie as cold as the room which re-affirmed how cold the room was! We had to put it on the (filthy) radiator to warm it up. Starters came, just about warm. The garlic mushrooms in cream sauce were more like mushroom soup. Mains came and these were barely warm. Then they got the bill wrong. All issues etc raised - feedback - we'll pass on your comments! Standards have most definitely slipped and it was a very expensive average meal.

Came here for Christmas lunch with work colleagues, and had a great time. Haven't been for a good few years. But the food was very good, everyone enjoyed their food. Service was fast with us having pre-ordered. Wasn't too busy with it being the afternoon. Would revisit again. Thank you.

Wow, what a place. Must have been past a hundred times and never noticed this place but got a good review off of a family member so thought we’d give it a go. Glad we did cause the food was brilliant. Everything we ordered was perfect and the staff were lovely and polite. Made us feel very welcome. We parked on the cinema and walked round for anyone who is thinking about going. The final bill was a lot less then I thought it was gonna be so I guess that’s another bonus. Definitely recommend this to anyone if you enjoy Italian food like we do.

Wow I came here for my birthday meal (there were 9 of us). The food was absolutely delicious and it was really hard to choose what to have. Fantastic menu. The restaurant is really nicely decorated and there was a great atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals (great chef). Fantastic night with Five Star Food and service. Thank you. I can’t wait to revisit (when visiting our family).

A jewl hidden in a tiny corner in Newcastle-under-Lime. Food was great as always and service was on point. Nice diverse italian menu. The drinks menu could see some more additions but all in all a great place to have some food.

The speed of the food was great, the female waiting on staff were friendly, the young male, shouldn't be serving the public, his lack of enthusiasm oozed and made us want to leave as soon as we finished our meal.

If you’re looking for Italian food, this is the right place for you. I had spaghetti carbonara and my wife the chicken with asparagus and lemon sauce. Spot on! Many thanks to the waiter who served us last Saturday, unfortunately I don’t know the name but is the waiter with dark hair.

Had a really lovely dinner here. I thoroughly enjoyed my bruschetta and 4-cheese pasta. The others also enjoyed their food. Service was quick and friendly. You can really tell this Italian restaurant is a step up from other similar restaurants in the area. More authentic.

The food was amazing. Well presented and very flavoursome. The ambiance was warm and friendly (apart from cold air conditioner!!) But the most positive aspect was Lesten our waiter. He was so friendly, helpful and explained the dishes to use very accurately. Thank you!

My pizza was cold and I was asked if I wanted to order something else, I ordered my pizza because that's what I wanted, it came back burned on the top but I didn't like to complain again as all the staff seemed to be looking at me, I was not offered any discount, sorry wont be going back
