We visited Tiamo last night to celebrate our daughter's birthday along with her husband and family. We were greeted by the staff and seated in a corner of the downstairs section which was fine. The waiter took our drinks order and provided a birthday cake hat for our daughter, which along with the birthday bunting above the table was a very nice fun touch. Then we were given ample time to select from the extensive menu. I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. We have visited Tiamo on numerous occasions since it first opened its doors and the food has always been consistently good, exceedingly good. Also the manager and staff were first class and went out of their way to create a Happy Birthday atmosphere. Everyone in the party enjoyed the evening very much indeed and will return to celebrate again.

I visited Ti Amo while on holiday, staying in Penistone. I booked a table as the restaurant had very good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I was welcomed by the staff and seated at my table upstairs. The staff were very friendly and worked incredibly hard, as the restaurant was busy and a staff member was on holiday. I had a starter (Polpette) and main course (Linguine Ti Amo), accompanied by a beer. The portions were very generous, and the food was delicious. I wanted a dessert (tiramisu - my favourite), but unfortunately it was not available. The waiter provided a free coffee following the meal in way of compensation. I will definitely visit again when in Penistone, and have recommended it to friends who live nearby.

Visited this restaurant on a Friday evening to be told that fish dishes on the main course menu were not available. I enquired regarding the starter mussels to e told also not available. The starters and main courses arrived and were excellent. Puddings were ordered and after a short wait they arrived however, the Creme Brulee was very pale and we were informed that the blow lamp had developed a problem and was not available to brown the top.I asked for the bill to be informed that credit/debit cards were not accepted and payment was cash only. A trip to the cash machine at nearby supermarket saved the day.It's a shame that these problems occurred as the staff are always friendly and helpful and the food very good.I hope that this was a one off.

Came for a meal last week with friends and all I can say is I can't believe people keep going back here, it's the worst customer service I have ever had. The old blonde woman who speaks to you like 1) youre stupid and 2) you're inconveniencing her by being there. Hello? we are paying your wages!!!!! Because we were in conversation during our starters she came over and asked if everything was alright when she knew we were in a private conversation, But this didn't seem to bother her, we were obviously being too slow. The main course was average, calzone was pretty tasteless I think they scrimped on herbs, salt and garlic. The lasagna was mushy and I have made better myself, for 10.00 I would have at least expected some taste and nice staff wouldn't go a miss. Couldn't wait to leave, made to feel awkward the whole time. Didn't like the way you had to decide on a drink as soon as you walked in, no wine menu, and when we asked for Merlot or Cabernet red we were looked at blankly by the teenager full of attitude and no social skills and given a bottle of house red, I felt so sorry for the lovely waiters they were bossed around by the old blonde girl like you wouldn't believe, they were so polite too, oh well you live, you learn, in short don't bother going!!!

Visited after trying to find a new local Italian restaurant. Young girl behind the bar was very friendly and along with the male waiters, very attentive. The food was above average. The only downside to this experience was the blonde member of staff who I presume is the owner by the way she was chuntering around the place, being rude to the male members of staff and didn't even acknowledge myself or my fiancée, which was very noticeable in a small restaurant. It did effect the restaurants atmosphere, and although we had an enjoyable time, management could be improved.

Last time we came we didn't have cash ( cards not taken ) but the manager just said pay next time!

I don't usually leave restaurant reviews and it's even a shame in this case as the food was actually alright, however I came here with a group of work colleagues and the event was unfortunately spoiled by by the attitude of the serving staff.We had booked in advance for a table for 10 for 8pm on a weekday, and I think the problem was that the restaurant was quiet and the staff just wanted to close up and go home. We were rushed from the very beginning, with the starter plates being cleared away before a couple of us had even finished eating. What annoyed me most though was a error with a drink towards the end of the meal - my husband had ordered me a second glass of draught lager without me realising, and as it didn't come for a very long time I ordered another. Within 60 seconds of this and before any drinks had been brought to the table we realised the error and immediately apologised to the waiter and asked to cancel one of the drinks - however he immediately proclaimed that both drinks had already been poured so he was not able to cancel them - 5 minutes later he brought both drinks to the table. At best this was just not good service, at worst pettily dishonest to quibble over a glass of beer in a £200 meal.Around 9:30pm the staff obviously decided it was time for us to finish our meals and leave so they could go home, and this progressed from over-attentive serving to finally just leaning on the wall by our table and watching us.By the looks of some of the other reviews here we were not alone in receiving such bad service. In summary maybe this restaurant would be OK for a meal for two, however for a large group there are better options available where you won't be treated so badly - we won't be returning.

The food was excellent and the service was good, apart from one thing they got wrong. The problem was we took a promotional card from, landmark promotions, and the deal said on one occasion you could get 50% of the total bill (as long as it came to a maximum discount of £25). This was the only information supplied and we presented the card before we ordered the meal. After a great meal we ordered the bill, to discover that you had to order starters for the deal to be included, which was not mentioned before we ordered. After a great meal it was shame for the manager to be stubborn and not allow for the discount of this occasion! May put us off going again as the restaurant clearly lacked communication with the card organiser, and refused to cooperate on the matter! For a matter of £25 quid they may have lost repeat business...They also don't take card!

Thought we would try again after many years of not visiting (previous poor service, missing orders and a manager who hung up on me!), relatives visiting so thought it would be a nice change. We had tried once before but had to leave as 'cash only' (really, no cards in this day and age?!) so we ordered takeaway food via just eat, even though we would have to pick up. Husband set off to call at supermarket first so didn't get the message that our order had been declined. Front of house said they were "too busy", despite restaurant looking quiet. We were nearly put off after reading food hygiene revue (1 !) - 'The judgement on confidence in management (such as willingness to act on advice, enforcement of practices, attitude towards hygiene and safety etc) of Ti Amo is ranked Low.' Should have gone with our first feelings and not bothered! Good job there is a major supermarket nearby to save the dayCan't comment on food, atmosphere etc as didn't get any food!!!

First review we have left without even eating at the place but after 2 awful attempts at going shan't he trying again. First experience we went as a couple stood at reception whilst woman on her mobile phone clearly on a personal call turned her back and after over 10 minutes being ignored we left and went elsewhere. Second attempt some years later tried to book for our 14year old daughter and 9 friends for a Christmas meal. Asked if 7.30 was ok and told fine until their age was mentioned then asked if they could come earlier, I said ideally not only to be told that they had to be supervised as they might put toilet paper down toilets and sinks and be rowdy. Needless to say we didn't bother with booking and booked elsewhere where the highly regarded local restaurant were happy to accommodate our request without supervision although we are obviously more than happy to accompany the girls they obviously would prefer not to have us sat with them. It would have been much more preferable if a touch of tact had been used as we understand that they don't know our daughter and her friends you cannot tar or typecast teenagers and being a local restaurant in a small town it would not be difficult to contact parents if any problems occurred not that they would in our case. Obviously business must be great if they can turn down 10 x at least £20 a head.

Very nice meal on the whole. A little disappoint that could pay card and had to go to the bank for spondoolies first. A bit antiquated in this day and age. Couldn't faulkt the meal though.

Absolutely superb hospitality, wonderful food, brilliant service and love the ambiance - unfortunately no seabass, but wonderful seafood platter, monk fish, king prawns, scallops, from the chef instead for my partner - steak cacciatore was gorgeous - we will be back - can't recommend highly enough

Went on Saturday night 11th October late booking but they accommodated us asking us if we would come at 7.15. At first thought this a bit early but then again obviously they wanted the kitchen to flow rather than pour . Need not have worried, there was no rushing, the two young male and female waiters were the most polite we have encountered, nothing was done other than in a professional and sincere way. The food was excellent and my wife and I eat out two or three times a week in London (where we live). Great choices of Italian food at great price range. You could have reasonably priced three course meal or something a bit more but certainly not too expensive or a rip off. Would go there regularly if we only lived nearer. Try it, you won't be disappointed . The only single fault is they only take CASH but that's a small price to pay if you pardon the pun!

Been here loads over the years, not so much since the new management took over due to overbearing and unpleasant female owner / maitre d. Luckily tonight she was nowhere to be seen and what a difference it made. Very friendly and polite staff who knew their stuff. Food was all top notch, Calzones were the highlight. Very enjoyable.

Having not been to this little Italian for a few years I decided to take a gamble and take hubby for date night! (Yep, when you've kids and been together years these daft type of ideas take on some form of mystic sacredness.) We were not disappointed. Tiamo's is now family run and authentically Italian. With lots of choice and the food deliciously well cooked we simply could not fault the meal. With the full range of pastas, hand thrown pizzas, meats and seafood there is sufficient choice for any palette. I can personally recommend the Calzone. The waiting staff are friendly and efficient and do a lovely job in a cost setting.The true delight (in addition to the food) is the hostess / owner .... A wonderfully friendly lady who genuinely cares that you have a lovely meal. The prices are what you pay for good quality fresh food ..... It's not cheap but you don't feel as if you've overpaid. In a nutshell - we'll be going again. That speaks volumes.Many thanks tiamo's for a lovely evening.

Yet another wonderful family meal and one of my favourite local restaurants. The staff are wonderful, but especially Tina and Tara. Both ladies are beautiful, warm, professional and very passionate about the restaurant. My mum is 92, she has just had surgery on her leg so is not very mobile. We rang and explained that she needed a ground floor table. They made her so welcome and worked so hard for her comfort. They gave mum a lovely night out and after the pain she has been in recently, this was wonderful. The food though was unbelievably excellent especially the Sea Bass and the Chicken dishes what a great family night out. I think it is sad that other reviewers do not see what we consistently do. I often suspect that you reap what you sew when it comes to service levels; polite people who are considerate and respectful of others, often receive excellent service standards.

We ate here on a Sunday night. Called at 6pm to make a reservation for 7:30pm and was made to feel most welcome. The only reason the service got 4 stars was because they had a new waiter in and were training him. He was far better than we expected of him, as was the lovely lady that also looked after us. The food was fantastic and we will definitely be back soon.

Chose to come to the restaurant after reading through the reviews (some average some not so average) I have to say I found this place to be very homely and outstanding service. This was our first visit. We were greates very warmly by bar staff/waiting staff who were very at tentative. The hostess/manageress took our order. She was so warm and greates us with a warm smile. She sat with us while taking our order and went through the specials menu and the main menu. We all found this to be a perfect way of knowing exactly what to eat. The hostess we found was very informative about the Manu (she knows the menu inside out). After reading the reviews about the manageress we found her to be polite friendly and very passionate about her restaurant, maybe people misunderstand her she was lovely the whole evening and made us feel very welcome. We all tried something from the specials. Good is delicious all plates were empty. We are definatley coming back. A wonderful experience. Well worth the visit.

My review and rating in here are based around the service in this restaurant - which is poor. The manageress is very overbearing and rude- rushes people through their meals (and tells them so) so she can get more in. Our group was made to pay for the starters of 4 people who couldn't make it as they are all pre prepared (calamari?!?) We didn't get the option to eat these starters. When the bill was nearly £700 - excluding most peoples drinks, I find this exceptionally tight. My wife and I were overcharged considerably for our meals. We did get a refund but without apology or concern. As we were leaving I heard the manageress tearing a strip off someone on the phone as they were going to be late.Terribly run establishment. A shame as the food is nice.

The food and service was excellent,however as other reviews have said its very unusual that they do not take cards, its advisably to take enough cash.I would definitely recommend this eatery to others .....:-)

Excellent service, value and quality.We went on a Saturday evening when the Tour de France was going nearby the next day.Superb relaxing meal with very friendly staff.Good parking behind and on a side road.NB they only take cash and could do with improving their signage as they do not have a sign at right angles to the building; is close to a fairly major junction.

Strange that they do not take credit or debit cards. Just remember to go with a good reserve of cash. The food is very good here. Much improved since the present owners took over. You should ensure you book as it is popular

I've been to Tiamo on two separate occasions both times I can say that the food has been excellent, the menu is great and the location/atmosphere is good too.The only downside to Tiamo's is the service, I felt the lady who served us was rushing us (the restaurant was empty), the table we get was by the stairs so we got brushed past by everyone coming into the restaurant and not once were we asked if we enjoyed the food.It was average.

A group of friends came here for our mate's birthday. The food was amazing, it was like I was back in Italy again. I wish I could say the same about service, we were rushed, felt like a burden and had to all order at different times as the whole party wasn't there yet.I don't think we will return.

Came here for a works Christmas dinner and honestly the food was amazing! One of the best Italian restaurants around! Their roast chicken part of the 7 course was perfect. Their Tiramisu was honestly one of the best I've tasted. Staff were very friendly and welcoming really good atmosphere. If you go here you won't be disappointed!

Very basic Italian food. Good service. Poor quality calamari, probably bought in frozen. Visited Thursday evening with group of Friends. No atmosphere.
