The best restaurants serving Italian food in Ecclesall Sheffield Yorkshire and The Humber

Food (when it came) was good, but we had an 8pm table and didn’t get our Starters until 9:30pm and Mains at 10 to 10pm. We mentioned the delay when we came to pay and they said they were a person down, which is fair enough, but it might have improved our evening if they’d communicated this to us earlier, and maybe apologised or offered a discount. We noticed that the next table were offered their Starters foc because of their delay - they were sat down before us so maybe they’d waited even longer? Staff didn’t seem particularly attentive and after our Mains were cleared we waited and had to wave someone over to ask about Desserts. Atmos seemed a bit odd: at 8pm we sat at our table but there were a group standing with drinks just behind me before being shown to their table. Each time the front door or the door to the next room opened, there was a blast of cold October air through, so it felt a bit like the hubbub of a railway station rather than a restaurant. Bit disappointing as it was past 11 when we left, so the pubs were closed and we couldn’t go on for a drink. I’d give it another go, but if the evening was similar, I won’t be going back. That said, the Codici Primitivo was excellent, and great value at £26.

Tried to book for Saturday but only answering machine with no response. Went round to find restaurant closed, being refurbished and under new management!
