The White Horse Inn in Aberdeen City

Really tasty starters and pasta. Cool setting too

Disappointing works Christmas meal last night, focaccia was basically pizza base with rosemary and salt, soggy lasagne main had no garnish or sides , veggie pizza was bland, plus compulsory 15% service charge for a large group. Lazy, soulless cooking.

Not really sure if I'm missing something here but recent reviews are raving about this "little gem" "fresh family pasta" and we just didn't get it. Sadly sat between an 8 and 4 top which both ordered slightly before us, push our 2 top of starters out first was my thinking..... nope we sat and watched the 8 top get starters and the 4 top get starters and mains!! Thankfully we got moved as our starters arrived (40 mins after sitting down), away from the middle of the two tables. Mediocre brushetta and seafood salad.l, something that I could do at home tbh. An hour and 15 after sitting we get two plates, not bowls, of penne pasta clearly not freshly made, with a trickling of wet sauce that barely coated the pasta. Maybe we got them on a bad night but for me it's a no return. Staff licking fingers behind the deli, chefs serving food with hand towels, door open IN OCTOBER and just no real atmosphere or attention to guests or food for that matter. £43 for 2 starters 2 mains, 1 beer 1 juice and 1 pudding, really good price but for sure it's not value for money if you know what I mean. Defo had a snack when we got home as portions are small.

Bland expensive food, took forever to deliver the check when asked.

In for lunch on a random Wednesday. Service fast and friendly, and food was superb. The LUNETTE BURRO E SALVIA was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a very long time. I had something similar in an Italian Restaurant in Dakar (of all places) and I’ve been chasing that high ever since. Now I know I can get something just as good local, I’ll be back for sure 😁
