The best restaurants serving Italian food in Bishop's Stortford Meads East Hertfordshire East of England

A great friendly little Italian, welcoming space and staff, smashing cappuccino and baked I house chocolate spread croissant 🥐 I was looking for a breakfast stop and stumbled across Pasticceria Di Leo, it’s tucked away inside a little covered arcade, but well worth sniffing out.

We ordered pizza from the mobile van. Great service. Pizzas great value for money, dough amazing and toppings fresh, tasty. Will definitely check out the restaurant 👍

We have been here before and thought it was great. However, this time we got there to find the restaurant was shut? We had pre-booked our table via their website?? Google said open. Their website opening hours said open. Completely threw us and wasted our time walking there. No signs saying it was shut or anything lights completely off, no one inside and couldn't open the door. This was on 19/07/2024.

Had a plate of Rigatoni Arrabbiata! Was delicious. Only negative was that the staff who served us seemed like they didnt welcome me and my partner, and that we were a bother. Unsure what that was about, and it will probably affect me recommending the restaurant to others in the future. Food and atmosphere were great, but service was severely lacking.

Popped in this morning to get a vanilla iced latte. I felt the waitress had a bad attitude rather than asking customers to pay or hand over their food to be heated she would just gesture by shaking her hand. Secondly when she went to pour my drink I noticed that it was hot I states that I asked for it to be iced. She then said I did not do this and asked for it to be hot - now as someone who hates hot drinks I know I would not do this. Then finally a cold drink was made. She was entering my order into the till she said I had asked for oat milk - again I had to correct her on this and yet again I was blamed. Finally the correct order was made and she slammed my drink that wasn't even filled to the top on to the table and said here you go. I left immediately and regretted my choice of going there and I never will again. £4.50 for a drink that wasn't even filled up properly and rude staff that don't listen and then blame the customer.

My partner and I visited the restaurant for the first time on New Years Eve, the restaurant is decorated amazingly and the bar staff were very friendly welcoming us. We were showed to our table and after 5 minutes or so our order was taken, within not even 10 minutes our drinks and starters came out. Our starters were amazing and shortly followed our mains, I am vegetarian and when I ordered my main I asked for the dish without chicken, the waitress said she would make sure with the kitchen if that’s ok, she never came back so we assumed it was fine, when my main came out it had chicken in, a different waiter kindly took the food back to the kitchen and a few minutes later it was replaced. The waitress that originally took my order came to see where my food was and I explained it came with chicken she said ‘Oh’ and walked away - that was the first rude encounter. The whole time during our meal there was 4 screaming young children running through the restaurant they knocked into my partner three times and were disturbing the other diners too, the children were family to the waitress and there was a table with a few adults on again family of hers so they were getting her full attention and the rest of us were left waiting, there was many other things that happened during our visit and we were absolutely appalled. The service was shocking but from that one waitress in particular she was so rude to us and the other diners, a group of 8 were sitting next to us and when they tried to ask her a question she simply said ‘HANG ON’ and walked away they all looked shocked. We were never offered more drinks and wasn’t even offered a dessert menu. When we eventually got someone’s attention to ask for the bill we then waited over 20 minutes to receive it. As we were leaving the someone on a different table asked for the dish I had but without mushrooms, the waitress started laughing and said ‘I’m only laughing as someone just ordered it with no chicken’ and started joking about my order very loudly next to us.

Rubbish. Really dry dough, poor quality toppings, poorly cooked, took 4 calls to answer the phone on a Wednesday night (not even peak time) didn't swap the dips. Garlic bread had no garlic and minimal cheese was pretty much tomato paste on terrible undercooked dough and cost £3.50 for delivery that is less than a two minutes drive. Absolutely awful won't be ordering again. This Dominos used to be good before COVID place really gone downhill.
