Authentic food and lovely restaurant. One of the best carbonaras that I have had. The lasagna also tasted amazing. The staff and restaurant owners were welcoming and accommodating.

Have been several times just randomly- A homely pretty restaurant, park easily right out side or a few meters away - Owner Gino & my waitress Eleana ( & previous waiters) very on point welcoming & professional, to the right degree of attention - the Food is consistantly of a high standard, as I can see by the open view kitchen..lovely chefs, cooked to perfection, veg, sauces, Steak, value is worth the quality and portion size, I personally would like more wine chioces by the glass, but may rotate the house wines on occassion, but understandable price point. I am a critical diner, Savoured every bite.. worth the visit. Chiontelle X

We have been here a few times, and the food and service have always been good. For starters I ordered mussels, and they were lovely. My wife ordered the Avocado... The avocado was hard and unripe, and really should not have been served... We mentioned this to a waiter, who brought this to the attention of one of the ladies overseeing the tables. Let me just say, we did not make a big issue, we.justbwanted to say that the avocado was not ripe... The lady hurried over... (Bearing in mind that the restaurant was busy, and somewhat noisy) my wife started to talk to the lady... She was then told in no uncertain terms not to shout... I know from many years experience... My wife was not shouting... The background noise was on the loud side as there was a big party to the back of us, so my wife's voice was raised to overcome the atmosphere at the time.. unfortunate really, as my wife did take umbrage at how she was spoken to... We both had swordfish as mains, and it was lovely... However the contretemps with the lady running the restaurant somewhat put a damper on the evening.. may be a while before we head back...

We are originally from Birmingham and have used this beautiful restaurant numerous times. We now live in Lincolnshire (some 120 miles north east). We recently visited friends and dined on a Saturday night. The food, atmosphere and friendly level of service were, as ever, second to none. All persons in our party were knocked out by all of the aforementioned. I would highly recommend daGinos...you will be totally astounded by this beautiful little gem......I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Thanks so much for a wonderful night!

Ok, great experience walking in friendly staff and food was great and delicious, was there with my best mate and wife and family, had an enjoyable evening until the bill arrived, looked at the bill it had a £50 service charge in it which would be fine but we had 5 kids with us. We asked to take it of to the lady and we would pay our own tip, she then disappeared to change it then 5 minutes later a man came back to asks why we wouldn’t pay the charge, which according to UK law is optional. Very rude and aggressive I asked his name it was Gino so he must be the owner, wouldn't minds the bill was £565, we was prepared to pay a tip, but unfortunately after he took the cash and I said keep the change he said I don’t want your money, which isn’t true, I’m sure later he will make a response but I promise this is a true review as a business owner myself you shouldn’t expect a tip!!!

Like someone Else said this could be a real gem, but the service isn’t great. I asked for a jug of water and was given a bottle, and when I said I assumed your water came like that as I did ask for a jug of water and was charged £3.99 for still water when I asked for a jug of water anyway. It’s a shame as we were doing sober October and were willing to come back and would’ve bought alcohol. I went there specifically because I am diagnosed coeliac and someone said they do cater for coeliac‘s but they didn’t even have gluten-free pasta. I think I will stick to Verona on Boldmere Road which is loads better Service, wise, and food wise…

Adding this review in the sincere hope it might help with some changes 🙏 this place has been around a while and has the potential to be such a great local spot. Unfortunately, as noted in recent reviews, the service is truly awful. It has gone from an authentic, down to earth feel to absolutely rude. This isn’t based on a single experience but on numerous recent visits and observing interactions with other diners too. I really hope the management can address this sooner rather than later. Food is nice, restaurant is nice. Could be a lovely local gem. Sadly seems to be headed in a disappointing direction.

The food was good, but beware they charge you £3.00 if you ask for extra butter to go with your complementary bread, not much atmosphere. When we questioned been charged for the bread the man was extremely rude, we pointed out his attitude was not encouraging people to return, he said I don't care if you don't return. Not good.

Very run down and old fashioned. The place is a bit dirty and it’s just a poor ambiance. I had the jumbo scampi that aren’t jumbo and they were battered and served in oil which just soaked into the batter. All the other dishes were average at best and don’t justify the price. We honestly cook better at home. It’s like the place is stuck in an 80’s time warp. The staff were poor except one old gentleman who served the food. He was lovely. This place needs a renovation and a new management team. Won’t be back.

Went for mother's day lunch today. Food was average at best, service was borderline rude at points. Although we did eventually get most of what we asked for, the team very much has their system you have to stick to, and any questions are answered dismissively. I'd echo other reviews that say it can feel like you're being told off. Couldn't give us allergy information when we asked. Would expect better at this price - won't be going back unfortunately.

It's a delightful restaurant. The food was good, with a nice choice from the set lunch menu. It was my first visit. It was rather spoilt initially by a clear misunderstanding. The website allows a 2pm booking but the chef leaves at two and the restaurant closes to reopen later. The website needs to be changed to make the last lunch booking 1.15 or 1.30.

I'm sorry we didn't get to taste the food the positive reviews are raving about. We decided to leave after being told off in front of other customers by 3 separate employees, for turning up with -3 (minus three people) we originally booked for 10 but due to illnesses some people couldn't make it. (Covid-19) Being told off, like naughty school children, for not ringing to reconfirm numbers. We did apologise, these things happen in hospitality and catering. We had our drinks at the entrance, paid for that and left. The way in which we we were greeted in that first instance of entering this place was hostile and this is not the way I wanted to start my night out or remember my eating experience. I would agree with some of the low rated reviews (-) on here, they sound fairly accurate to my experience. Shame.

We have been going to Dagino's for quite sometime , it is a unique place to eat and socialise and the standards have never wavered . It's obvious that they only purchase high quality food and it's cooked to perfection by their chefs who have worked there many years . The owner works very hard to maintain the highest of standards and he is clearly very passionate about his food and giving his customers a great experience , this is to be commended as food of this quality is hard to find. Great food , great staff and a warm welcome every time . We all hope that Covid issues are behind us so that we can continue to enjoy the Da Gino experience . Best wishes and thanks to all your staff - David and Carole , Four Oaks

I rarely write reviews but in this case I had to make an exception due to how rude one particular staff member was to myself and my partner, completely ruining a long awaited reunion meal with my family after being separated for nearly 2 years. When I enquired about the menu, he became extremely disrespectful and confrontational, even making comments about my partners facial expressions at one point. It was clear after this he was told off by senior staff and came back apologising and offering solutions, however the damage was already done at this point and it was a little too late and the apologies felt empty and forced. On top of this, we had to wait 50 minutes after sitting down for our food order to be taken. The food was OK, but considering the price tag for it you can do better at home whilst spending a fraction of the price, or simply try somewhere else with staff that show basic human decency.

We went to this restaurant for our sons birthday. Friday 31st Jan. First, we were told to sit in the bar area looking at menu and drinks menu. This was not comfortable fur to people coming in and out of the door,which was very drafty. Waitress was not at all helpful with wine list and quite abrupt. Our table was actually free so why we didn't get the choice of if we wanted to sit down, I dont understand. We waited half hour for drinks order to be taken. Nearly 40 minutes before they come to take food order, which we needed to ask about. The starter took half hour to arrive. My husband had to ask for the extra glasses to be removed for more space on the table. They serve vegetables with meal which is not left on your table! Not once during the meal did we get asked if we needed any more drinks(we had to ask) Neither did we get asked if the food was good. We live in Streetly and have visited here a few times but not for awhile now. There were also other people coming in being hugged and made more welcome us being shown straight to their table!! We will not be visiting this restaurant again, certainly not recommending it. We would rather go to Romantica,Mere Green, where the service is always great. The staff are very friendly(to everyone) and very helpful. o if we wanted to sit straight down I dont

Went for a birthday celebration as a party of over 10 people. Restaurant looked nice and inviting and after waiting for the table for 10 minutes was shown through. First issue - not enough places. Restaurants solution - squeeze grown adults into smaller spaces by adding chairs. Not great. Then after waiting 10mins for the first drinks to be brought over, the waitress and waiter have a row next to the table in resulting in spilling the drinks. This was the tone for the night. Surly, uninterested service, slow drinks service and generally poor front of house. A shame as the food was excellent and I couldn't recommend it enough...

Lovely little place but the wait for food was painfully slow. The menu options for anyone with dietary restrictions are incredibly limited. The alternatives are to swap in defrosted gf bread, which is poor. The food was OK, and kids menu was good value. But £17.50 for a small fish, less than 10 chips and some questionable mushy peas is not good. And £5 for a hot chocolate 🤯 Wouldn't recommend.
