The Tempest in Stratford-on-Avon

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant on 19th May 2025. The restaurant, on this occasion, was the venue of a fund-raising evening organised for the benefit of Henley Community Library. Despite the restaurant being full, staff were at hand to greet and seat us as soon as we arrived. We were also greeted by the proprietress, whose name was Bilen who made us feel very welcome. There were a number of salads to choose from and I had both the cold pasta salad and the chicken salad. The chicken salad was particularly exceptional. I could say the same for the mains. I had small portions of their Seafood Pasta and Lasagne and both were equally good. I was quite full by now and was contemplating just moving on to a coffee. Bilen persuaded me to try the Tiramisu which she said she had made. I was so very pleased that I did. It was one of the best I've ever had. Our table was served by Binita and Nafisa who were not only attentive but were both genuinely friendly. We were also introduced to the Chef Amir who came to ask if we everything was to our satisfaction. A quick mention also of Resham who soldiered away in the background helping out. All in all, it was a most memorable evening made possible by all the staff of La Dolce Piazza.
