Awful. Staff we clueless little too no customer service skills. Only one meal came out when two was ordered. Management showed a lack of interest when complaints were raised. Would not recommend. Don’t waste your money supporting this low quality restaurant.

First time we have been to this restaurant and it won't be the last. From the the minute we walked in the service was excellent. We were given plenty time to go through the menu and the the food arrived piping hot and was great. Not really being a wine drinker I ordered the house white which turned out to be very good. Within about 15 minutes of us getting there not one table was empty and any that were vacated soon was filled. The cost really surprised me it was certainly good value.

So, the title may be a little harsh. The owner greeted us upon arrival and was very friendly. Booked for a family of four, he gave us the choice of where we preferred to be seated and let us settle in with menus before returning for drink orders. Due to eating with children, we used this time to browse the menu and choose our food order. Returning with the drinks he then proceeded to inform us of the specials for the evening (although we felt this would have been more useful when we were browsing the menus rather than after we had made decisions). Leaving us again, his female colleague came to take our order. Unfortunately, it appeared that she did not want to be working that evening, her attitude was not what we experienced from the owner. For example, asking whether the chips were fries seemed like a difficult question for her - yes I have a child that will only eat fries despite telling her that all are pretty much the same!! - the response we received was that they "were chips”. We placed our order and the food that arrived was beautiful, slight criticism that the medium cooked steak was overcooked but still delicious. When settling the check, the same girl was behind the counter. I was not acknowledged, instead my bill placed in front of me (at this point I had not even asked for the check) with a question of "cash or card?"! Paid up and left. NB. The chips weren't fries which was a shame as the daughter refused to eat them.

Normally enjoy a trip to Italian Connection however after last nights experience I feel very let down. Staff were very slow, had to wait for the table to be cleared when we first got there despite there only been three other tables seated and having booked. There were three young women working but they might as well have not have been as it was only one young man doing all the work whilst the girls chattered at the bar. We asked one for a dessert menu, she came back to our table with a pizza which was for another table and upon telling her the pizza is not ours but we are waiting on dessert menus (it had been 10 minutes) she rolled her eyes and said nothing!

Really disappointed as we have always loved visiting the Boston Italian Connection for Pollo Gorgonzola. We decided to try the Sleaford one following our move, the chicken was very chewy and watery as was the sauce. Chips appeared to be reheated as were very dry.

We had not been to The Italian Connection for 10 years due to the bad service. However, the restaurant appeared to have changed ownership, so we decided to try it out. As starters, we chose the Pate Casalingo and Funghi Dells Casa, both of which were very good. My wife drank sparkling water, whilst I ordered a bottle of Peroni. (The draught beer was an Italian beer I've never heard of, so I stuck to a beer I know. As a main course, we chose the mixed seafood platter - Seabass, Swordfish, King prawns, New Zealand mussels and squid, served on a bed of rice. Absolutely superb! I tried a half litre jug of the House white which provided a good accompaniment to the fish. Too full for desserts, I asked if they had Grappa, which did not appear on the menu. The Italian host brought me a glass of very good Grappa, which I suspect was from his privare stock! Excellent food, excellent service - will return very soon.

A solid 4/5 for a meal that came upon us very unexpectedly. LOCATION - unfamiliar with the area myself, the best information I can give is that it’s opposite El Toro (Tapas) on the N Gate one-way route, heading south through the town centre of Sleaford. DECOR - inside it was classic Italian, both in layout and design. Small tables, dark wood furniture and hard tiled flooring - all very characteristic of what you would expect from a rustic Mediterranean business. A curved bar took centre stage, with the Kitchen situated to the rear of the building. STAFF - a polite waiter and waitress serving us throughout the meal. Unfortunately, not enough staff were in to deal with the high numbers. We waited a while (just for our drinks) - the table next to us ended up walking out. Can only put it down to absentees or underestimating the number of walk-ins. MEAL - faultless in most parts. I ordered Breaded Whitebait as a starter - lovely, with a cracking Garlic Dip. I opted for the Connection Pizza for my main course. The base was perfectly cooked and it tasted great - only one bit of criticism, for the amount of ingredients shown on the menu I felt that the Pizza could have been more generous. Both courses washed down with a House Beer, which definitely hit the spot. COST - all in, I think it cost us £24.00 each (including a tip). For a two-course sit in meal with an alcoholic drink, I don’t think that was too bad. Good value for money. Not our first choice but circumstances brought us here. Overall, i’m glad we stumbled upon this quaint little Italian restaurant. A decent bit of scran!

I could not talk more highly of this restaurant. I had to stay in Sleaford for 3 nights for work and was recommended this place by a colleague. I was a little nervous about eating by myself but as soon as I walked in I felt instantly relaxed. The waiter was so friendly and the decor of the place is lovely. I ordered spaghetti dishes both nights - the mixed seafood one on the first night and a bacon one the next - and both were absolutely delicious. Real Italian cuisine. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for someone nice to eat in the area.

I can not explain this evening except it confirms why I do not eat out very often, I would rather stay home and pay myself to cook for my family and friends. Having a spontaneous night I decide that I would treat myself and my children to an evening of good food, how wrong could I have got it, never been to the Italian restaurant so thought we could give it a try. Upon entering the premises, it seemed busy for what it was, the atmosphere didn’t match the busyness of the restaurant. So where do I start, the waiters and waitress were there because they loved their jobs ( NOT ) , we ordered drinks that seems ok , how can you get it wrong except lemonade that was water .. it was flat, the ice had more taste. Coffee was nice but again it came from a machine. We ordered 2 spaghetti bolognese , 2 pizzas and a cannelloni.. so to start with the spaghetti was in need of armbands as there was so much water at the bottom of the bowl , even the oil was fighting for its life on the water. The pizzas came out in super quick time.. I don’t think I’ve cooked a boxed pizza at home that quickly, they were both raw and it was inedible to say the least, The cannelloni looked the part until you opened up and then you realised that it was from the frozen department in Tesco .. I complained to the waiter, regarding the pizzas, he responded with I’m sorry to hear that whilst walking away halfway through his sentence, no eye contact with me regarding this matter, his rudeness seemed second nature. You could see the complaint moving like a tumbleweed in the North Carolina desert. There was no apology from anyone, not even a “would you like something else, can we rectify it for you ... nothing consequently the evening was a shameful one, I will not be going there again and I will not be recommending this to anyone family or friends. There’s V for Vegan. There’s GF for Gluten Free. There’s DF for Dairy Free. I think they’re missing a few. There should be TF for Taste Free and JF for Joy Free and AAHYWEH for Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here.”

I rarely gush about food. I have served enough time on Tin Pan Alley to belive that I can qualify and justify my comments. Rarely have I been rendered speechless by a plate of food. However, the fillet steak Casanova that i just eaten has pretty much done that. I'm not a fan of fillet as a rule - it takes a gifted hand to season it enough to bring the flavour out and it takes real talent to make a sauce that rich not overwhelming.

The food was very good. It may just be that I'm too used to be waited on hand and foot but I felt that the service could have bee better. The food came out quickly but in between times it was difficult to get the attention of the waiting staff to ask for drinks. I had to resort to standing up a couple of times which I really don't like to do because I don't want to seem rude. Apart from that the food was as good as any other Italian I've been to, but I would probably come back at a quieter time. I found it frustrating but as I say that might be on me.

After a hectic day in London, on the way home we decided to chance our arm and get a table. We had to wait a few minutes which was fine, (there were empty tables anyway, but hey, it makes you seem grateful when they say they're trying). We ordered our drinks and meal, no started as I wanted a dessert! Drinks arrived, main course arrived, then nothing. Food was hot, and have to say portions were very big, I couldn't eat all the pasta, we enjoyed our meals. As we were seated nearest to the kitchen, waiters were passing our table all the time. However, after 15 minutes and being ignored, we decided we wouldn't order a dessert after all. Whilst paying for the meal, we mentioned to the manager of our concerns, he shrugged his shoulders and said, we're busy. If you can't stand the heat .... get more staff who can service your customers. sadly, we won't be returning if that's his attitude. Food ok, service not ok.

Despite pre-booking a table, there did not happen to be enough room on the garden table to seat all six of us, moreover, it became apparent that it was rather difficult to hear and converse with those even on the other side of the party. The pizza was unsatisfactory for some, with a bizarre, soup-like quality towards the middle of the pizza, and considering the owners are Italian, one ought to think that they might be able as to at least make a margarita pizza, not to just blend it. With regards to the pasta, a member of the party woke up this morning with an unsatisfied stomach - to say the least. The pasta was cooked nicely, not overdone, however the sauce was rather thick and not very easy to digest due to the amount of spice inside of it. We would have stayed for a dessert, however, the people sat around us were so loud it was a chore to communicate. Overall, not the place to go for a 21st, however, we really liked the individually wrapped mints.

Dropped in for lunch and although OK I left feeling it could be a lot better. Had the garlic bread to start and it looked very much like a frozen pizza from the local supermarket. Tasted OK but suspect the dough was a frozen base. Main of chicken in cream sauce was nice but again served with what looked like frozen oven chips, and basic salad. The service was good, but the restaurant itself was very cold inside, which doesn't encourage you to stay. Overall it was OK but nothing special.

We had booked a table for 6 people, for 3 celebrations, a 10th wedding anniversary, a 37th birthday and a 70th birthday, only to be left queueing at the door on a rainy evening, then after several minutes of confusion and running around by staff members we were shown to our table !? 2 tiny round bistro tables pushed together, shoehorned in with not enough space to even sit at never mind try to eat a meal. DISCUSTED. we understandably declined this arrangement and left, NEVER to return.

Starters ordered were the same but looked different and smelled like a £1 Iceland microwave meal only tasted far worse. It was supposed to be stuffed pepper with mince; one was as described but tasted like a microwave meal the other was a pepper covered with breadcrumbs soaked in fat and my fiancé asked my to try it......I wish I declined, it was rank!! The waiter couldn't offer an explanation. On to the main, seafood with tagliatelle as the pasta. Oh my God, the smell when it came out was enough to make a carer in an old folks home vomit. I mean, it was really bad.

The reviews looked good but the reality was far from what we hoped.

Este pequeño restaurante es una joya escondida. Sirve la mejor comida italiana! La pizza y la pasta siempre de alto nivel y todo lo que pide es la perfección. El personal es increíble. Son amables, serviciales y nos encanta charlar acerca de su país de origen. Incluso te enseñan un poco de italiano.

Me and my sister came in for lunch. There was going to be a big party so we knew what we wanted anyway as we thought it would be easier for the waiters because they were quite new and young. So we decided not to order from the pizza or pasta for £5 for a change, we ordered from the main menu we had a starter to share which was really nice and i ordered the rump steak with salad and my sister ordered the seafood pasta. My steak was rather small and tough not like what i had a few months back (£13.50) I just thought it would've been a tad better. However my sisters pasta only had mussels no prawns and squid..No one asked if our food was ok we understand that because the party was only starting to come in. The food was disappointing this time I think we learnt our lesson to stick with what we know.. definitely caught them at a bad time.

Looking for a quick dinner. And not much choice in the high street. But found this place had a table and ceiling fans to keep cool as it was really warm on the dayI had a beer or two and the calzone. Which was tasty and quite large. Nothing else required. The service was friendly and efficient. The price was good. The food was tasty. I will go back

Visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening, I pre-booked a table for 6 people at 6:30pm. There was a table already made up for 6 but when we arrived the staff advised we couldn't have the table and asked if they could put 2 round tables together for us, they obviously hadn't planned the nights bookings properly. When finally seated we ordered drinks, then food. On 3 occasions we had to ask for things twice, the service when bringing out the food was slow and staggered. The food itself was average, in all honesty a bit bland, I had the chicken in a garlic cream sauce, the chicken itself was dry, cooking chicken is easy so this was a letdown. When I come visit my family again I won't be visiting again.

Visited with a couple of work friends. The starters from the specials board were very good and the house red wine very smooth. For the main course I had the steak with a cream and mushroom sauce, one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Great service and very reasonably priced.

Myself and the wife really enjoy visiting this little Italian'; the food is consistently good the waiters friendly and efficient and the ambience always cordial. My favorite dish is the pollo gorgonzola, but I would also recommend the pescatore which I prefer with tagliatelle. Italian connetion is probably second only to the thai in town as out favorite but there isnt much between them.

Ignored for 5 minutes at door ! I should have seen the signs then but went ahead With our meal ordered fillet steak medium and it was the worst I have ever had tough tasteless and questionable as to if it was a real fillet steak Should have sent it back but could tell they were not really interested the whole place is scruffy Try looking up at the glasses hanging above the till They are dirty ! Staff were very young girls who tried but really hadn't a clue This is definitely not a good restaurant and we won't be going back

Looking for lunch while visiting Sleaford, take no notice of the bland exterior, this is well worth a visit. What I would call a proper friendly local Italian restaurant with excellent lunchtime menu price £9.50 for two courses, you do not get small portions even with this price. The Funghi Della Casa starter would have been enough as a light meal. I followed this with the Carbonara you choose, from four, which type of pasta you want with it. One of the best Carbonara I have had.
