The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

My sister and i both ordered one of the lage jacket potatoes that were on display in a dish. At over £5 with one filling we thought this was quite expensive. There was no cheese on offer especially cottage cheese which i need as a migraine sufferer nor was there an alternative to butter as i have to be dairy free for medical reasons. We had to wait quite a while and was asked to stand to the side whilst waiting. Both potatoes were put on one tray, alongside with my sisters bottle of water and my bottle of oasis. No condiments ie salt and pepper were given and were not even offered. The potato had obviously not been in the microwave long enough as both our potatoes were hard in the middle. We both only took a few mouth fulls and threw them away, Also as only butter was provided both my sister ( who also cannot tolerate butter ) subsequently suffered stomach pains and discomfort for the rest of the day resulting in having to take lansoprazole and omepresole each. We will never eat from there again.

TBH, I have heard really good things about Marios but have never experienced it myself, all the times I've been there. I finished work, and it was the only place open, so, against my better judgement, i tried it again. This place should be closed down for extortion! They are located in the centre of town to exploit people who are drunk! It has to be the only reason they make any money, their chips are burnt and their chicken is dry! I would definitely not recommend this place if you're sober! I will definitely not be using it again

Forgot part of the order, driver said he would return with the missing item and never did. Phone always to be occupied so could not call them to chase up. Stay clear! Food was far below average anyhow.

Used to love coming here , we have come with the grandchildren for their lessons for 4 years . From last week we have a young female staff member , now know she is the team leader , who was constantly eating and never washed her hands before serving customers with food . Then we had a male ( mature) who was picking his nose handling the ice creams then putting cakes out and taking bread out of packets . Never washed his hands ! Sorry but now refusing to purchase any food or drink as hygiene rating certainly doesn’t reflect the cleanliness or any food hygiene certificate these two staff members have . There is only one young man who seems to take hygiene and keeping the place clean and tidy seriously .

Myself and my wife went here today , no low tables for wheelchairs , we went inside and was asked what we wanted and then i had to go outside to a window to pay , no idea why because i was outside and the guy holding the payment device was inside. Sign on door said hot ( it was luke warm ) drinks. I ordered a breakfast , 3 soggy slices of toast , 2 small sausages , a tiny portion of mushrooms and beans , 1 burnt piece of bacon , 1 burnt egg , no tomato or black pudding , and this was supposed to be a big breakfast. My wife only had a bacon sandwich and it was burnt and rock hard. If i had seen the food before i paid for it i would have walked out without touching it. I spent the rest of the afternoon chewing indigestion tablets , maybe thats why their is only 2 other reviews on here

Appalling. Sish kebab absolutely dreadful. Worst food I have eaten. Do not eat here. £10 for a stale kebab falling apart.

Such a lovely little Italian with very friendly staff. You can always rely on great food and great service here!
