Friendly local Italian in Carisbrooke which was walking distance from our holiday let so we gave it a try. Overall a pleasant enough dinner, £23 bottle of Sauvignon properly chilled, attentive service, free bread. Decor is rather dated though not as off-putting as photos had suggested, the pasta dishes were tasty and - oddly perhaps - came with a choice of salad or vegetables. The latter (including roast potatoes) would seem more fitting with a Sunday roast than a plate of penne but were nicely cooked and great if you want to really fill up. My chicken with pepper and seafood was a disappointment - somewhat dry chicken breasts in a gravy that wasn't nearly as rich as one might have hoped and generally lacked flavour despite some interesting ingredients. Perhaps I was unlucky. Certainly the place seemed popular and maybe I should have had a pizza.

Aboyne House 46 High Street, EnglandOrdered through just eat, after 1.5 hours we called and the restaurant seemed to somehow have no started the order, was sorry and the food came about 40 mins later. One Pizza we ordered was for the kids to share, but they werent able to eat it as we had to put them to bed due to the time. These were expensive pizzas, £16 each roughly, the photos looked like high quality pizzas and at that price you would expect a decent pizza as its not something that should be hard to mess up. I started eating it and there was a very unusual taste. I had never tasted anything like it before on any pizza I have ever had, the cheese have a very weird consistency, texture and taste. I realised a few bites in it tasted like the dairylea cheese triangles, I havent eaten one in decades, but thats what it was like. I genuinely didnt eat any more of it, it was just so weird. My partner had a salmon pasta dish which was fine, but I paid £60 for food that came so late my kids werent able to eat it and no one ate either of the pizzas, I picked off some of the pepperoni and put it in the bin. I hate giving a bad review, but honestly I feel like in this case it was so unusual that maybe this feedback will be helpful, maybe something was off that night or they had to get an inferior cheese etc. but it was absolutely the strangest pizza I have ever tasted. I do feel like the delay was a genuine mistake and the guy who I spoke to did deliver it himself as he promised, honestly if the pizza was ok, not even anything special just actual mozarella, I wouldnt have reviewed, but this left a bad taste in my mouth literally and figuratively so I wanted to offer the feedback.

43 Walton Road, EnglandThis is pur second visit since this fantastic place has re started its BYO Friday and Saturday Evening Resteraunt again. Food is super fresh! Pizzas are incredible! Excellent value 2 or 3 course fixed price options across the menu. Ambiance great, front of house excellent. What can I say, just get back down to those who used to go to the Evening Resteraunt BYO and to those who haven't been yet, try it! We will be back again very soon.
