Another visit to my favourite eating place in Leighton Buzzard. Had a lovely Mother's Day lunch. Food excellent as always and service was superb, with a lovely atmosphere too. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent all round.

There are a number of coffee shops where I live ☕, and Sorelli is the most popular, you can generally get a table or wait a few minutes. Good atmosphere and nice service, enjoy,👍

What a treat to experience this café for breakfast. I really enjoyed the sourdough toast and fluffy omelette. Great service. Bakery was closed on Mondays. So would recommend coming on day it is open. Fresh sourdough bread on Fridays.

First time visitor taken by friend familiar with this eatery. Excellent pasta with prawns (starter size) and a mocha to follow. Decent value considering the quality. Lovely server, efficient and friendly. Would revisit. Little bit chilly owing to people in and out not closing door quickly on such a cold day.

Visited here yesterday for a belated birthday lunch with a friend. I ordered the steak salad. The 4 bite size pieces of steak were very tasty. This accompanied half an iceberg lettuce, half a punnet of tomatoes and two slithers of a yellow pepper - very disappointing. Then when it came to paying the bill I passed a comment that we hadn’t ordered the basket of bread that was given, I thought it was complimentary. The waitress said is wasn’t complimentary but wouldn’t charge for it. Soon after the waitress that took our original order stormed over, clearly very angry and insisted that we had ordered it and that ‘we don’t give out free bread here’. Well, with that attitude and the fact that I paid £13 for a roughly chopped lettuce - you should definitely give out free bread! We won’t be returning.

Went today at 2.30 with opening hours displayed as 4pm close. Very empty, bad weather. Waitress threw 2 menus on the table I assumed we should sit at. Had to go and ask for drinks. Was told at 3pm coffee machine was closed. Had an over priced omelette while someone swept around us. Would this not happen when the cafe is closed??? We were clearly in the way of the staff leaving early. The chef went before we did!!! Chef??? Frankly I would prefer a McDonald's. But when food apparently finished at 3pm. Your staff were eating. Interesting meal out that I won't repeat

What has happened? Used to be lovely. Went in at 2.30pm. Advertised open until 4pm. Waitress threw the menus on the table so we seated ourselves despite the wait to be seated sign. Coffee machine we were told gets switched off at 3. Felt completely unwelcome as the sweeping commenced around us. Menu really overpriced. £13 for omelette and dry bread. I would have preferred wetherspoons. Says it all.

This was our second visit having been recommended Sorellis by a Waitrose Partner as a great place for coffee and cake! (It is, by the way so thank you for the heads up) Their lunch offer is also great. Pasta dishes come in two sizes and proved to be really tasty - we had the pomodoro and the carbonara. Dessert is limited to a ‘cake of the day’, but was also lovely. As were the homemade Amaretti biscotti. Service was top notch, friendly and efficient. Thoroughly recommendable; we will certainly be returning. Just be warned, Sorellis is very, very popular so you might have to wait for a table!

Amazing staff, but what I came to rave about is the cake and baked goods. Guys. I had a slice of a custom celebration cake. Usually I would scrape off icing because people always make it too sweet. But. This. Was. Perfect. I had a perfect cake. Then on a different day I had some biscuits from piccolo next door. Are they expensive? Yes. But that's because they can charge what they want and still get people flocking. I don't think I've ever had biscuits that good. I'm adding a new line to my monthly budget spreadsheet.

As always this place can be relied on to provide good food and good service no matter the day or time. I love the flexibility with the menu and how the chefs are willing to offer beyond that within reason. One of my daughters had a carbonara as a child’s portion ( not on the menu ) the other had a sausage and bacon buttie ( sausages a bit too herby for her ) and I had a gorgeous bruschetta with added goats cheese and pesto. Found the small bottled water a little pricey to be honest but all in all another lovely visit.

We like this place, but my partner was irritated this Sunday when we got turned away from here at 2pm as the waiter claimed that there had not been a lot of customers and that they wanted to close early. The advertised closing time is actually 3pm. I think he just wanted to get away early. He kept us waiting at the door for 5 minutes whilst he chatted away happily about nothingness before telling us this too. Otherwise, the food is nice, and there is a nice garden section.

My husband had the steak sandwich and it’s quite possibly the best sandwich I’ve never tasted - I’ve huge food envy and wish I’d copied him. My 2 year old devoured her bolognaise and both girls loved that the Parmesan came in little jam pots! The steak sandwich is the one!

Edit March 2025: Sorry to echo another recent review, this place has gone downhill massively and stil expensive. Not sure if a change in owners, managers but seems like it. We used to love Fratellis and have been customers for 5 years, we had our first date here, became a favourite of ours and even got engaged here as it held special romantic memories. The food used to be good, the service impeccable. Now, we visited today and it was a world apart from what I remember. The staff clearly fairly new and inexperienced, although nice but we were sat at a table which was tiny for 4 people and right next to the bar which means you can overhear staff conversations awkwardly, plus it's used as a walkway for all people and it's not a nice place to sit. The food quality, taste, ingredients are all worse and the chefs which I'm sure have probably changed a few times over the years are no where near as good as they used to be. The garlic dough balls, were a favourite, today they were completely different to how they used to be. Much much fewer of them, completely different shape, consistency being rock hard and had no garlic to them, served with a butter that just have looked at garlic no taste at all. Just a basic mini bread roll. They used to ooze garlic, soft to the touch and uniformly round with lots more on the plate. The calamari, soggy not crisp or crunchy coating and very rubbery to eat. The carbonara, today was drenched in cream, completely different to how it used to be, far too much. The Pizzas were almost burnt, far too many black spots from the oven, all I could taste was burnt dough. For the ingredients added to the top, it was essentially tasteless except the burnt bits. Still hugely costly, roughly £110+ and they include a 10% service charge, which is so wrong especially on tables of fewer people. Sorry to say, but after 5 years, we won't be returning to what was once a highlight and special place to dine at. Everything felt like costs have been cut at the expense of quality and experience, these high prices can not be justified by such poor food. So sad to see another once great restaurant fall by the wayside. Original 2020: Lovely restaurant, came on a date with my lady friend and we both loved it. The food is wonderful, authentic and delicious. We had the best dough balls and pizza I've had outside of italy here! The staff are attentive and genuinely caring, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of evening you'll enjoy. We even had drinks bought for us by a lovely older gentleman at the table next to us, who happened to be a co-owner or investor in Fratelli, we was kind and enjoyed having people have a great time in the establishment. Very cosy and almost feels like a private dining experience the way the layout is done, the only reason it's not 5* review is that parking is limited as it's in an old village. However there is parking on the street outside, usually best if you're not going on a friday or Saturday night I'd imagine

Not sure how this place has such a high rating. The prawn cocktail was so bad please please don't order as a starter. Overall, it probably serves the local community well but for someone who lives in London and was hoping for something great, this was a stark reminder why I love London. Setting is nice and would be good for a date but if your looking for top notch food, it's looking tricky.

Our Valentine's Day evening at Donatello's was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a romantic evening. The highlight of our experience was the outstanding service provided by Cherish. Her attentiveness and genuine warmth made us feel truly special. She anticipated our needs with impeccable timing, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that each course arrived promptly. Her knowledgeable recommendations enhanced our dining experience, guiding us through the menu with expertise. The culinary delights at Donatello's exceeded our expectations. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the pizza boasted a delightful blend of flavors with a crispy crust. Each dish reflected authentic Italian cuisine, prepared with the freshest ingredients. Cherish's exceptional service, combined with the delectable food and charming atmosphere, made our Valentine's Day unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Donatello's to anyone seeking an outstanding Italian dining experience.

Had two lunches while at Millbrook. Both fish & chips and chicken & bacon salad were rather good. Other dishes looked pretty good as well, although have not tried them.Efficient and friendly service. Enough seating and convenient parking. Both days were reasonably busy with quite a few regulars.Certainly a place to visit in the area.
