The best restaurants serving Italian food in Arboretum Derby East Midlands

Very friendly staff, lovely environment and quick service!

We came as two couples the room was cold and not very inviting as we did book another table over 4 weeks ago. We ordered the drinks and guess what they got those wrong. We all had starters after requesting for salt and pepper which was not even set out on our table. On the TURKEY ESCALOPES plate which two of us ordered for the main what looked and tasted like frozen peas and carrots. Portion size was only adequate at best. After not requesting for a dessert we had seen enough. I cannot remember such poor service poor food and poor value for money. Each couple paid £75 which was daylight robbery.

Yet another two visit's to this fabulous restaurant and thoroughly enjoying the delightful food that is cooked and served by Reno and his team. We look forward to whatever the future direction takes you and wish you well in your next adventure, thank you for some memorable evenings and meals.

Have you ever dined on the Italian Riviera? If not,this is as close as you'll get to it in Derby. Once you step inside, the decor transports you to the Amalfi Coast in Italy.It's very light and spacious. The food and service is consistently good.

I've had the seafood linguine, and the lasagne, which were both excellent. I strongly recommend trying the ice cream after seafood - the vanilla and pistachio one. The pistachio ice cream actually tasted like pistachio, which has never actually happened to me before! The lasagne is lovely and rich, perfect with a glass of red, and the tender stem broccoli salad I ordered. The pine nuts with it were also really nice! The service was exceptional from the staff, as usual. Both the food and service are always consistently good!

Danny was a great waiter, deserves a pay rise!

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Lucy was very polite and efficient with our service

Amazing food and great service by navpreet

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.
