The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in East of England

Always busy but always go out of their way to fit you in. Food is delicious. Service attentive and friendly. Always with a smile. Highly recommend it..

We were booked in at 7 ready for Elvis tribute night…. No drinks until gone 8 pm no mains until 10 pm , no desserts offered , no explanations, no apologies…. Need I say more… Saying all that Elvis was great😁

Just reading these reviews. I did not write a review at the time as I hoped it was an isolated incidence, and nobody enjoys leaving a negative review in this climate. I see nobody has mentioned the smell inside the restaurant. As I walked in I wrinkled my nose at a smell that wafted over, I assumed it was a man placed near the front door. I was in a party of 4 adults/couples. We ordered drinks and the meze arrived ! it was a bowl of green dip and tiny triangles of cold hard pitta bread. Nobody said a word as this was a fun night. We ordered main course, I ordered the prawns !! in a sauce which read very appetising. Everybody was served and as an adult I said please start. People did slightly. Then came over again the terrible stench, I looked at the other female and we both mouthed " wind"....the males said no, its the drains. It was awful. I would say I waited a further 15 minutes for the prawn dish, the sauce was a dead ringer for a jar of Lloyd Grossman...by then we all started to speak about the food etc. The other lady got up to go to the toilet, was in there an age. I jumped up and went to the toilet as walking home. I can only say the contents of my stomach left my body, although not quite as as soon as I went to wash my hands, where I had flushed the toilet bowl was rising. I can laugh about it now. Then I had to sit again and my god I was in a state. Flushed again, and again it rose up. I did not say a word to friends until Christmas eve. As my husband and I started our walk I confided my story with " I need to go again" he said you cannot. I said I need to and I scoured alleys , bushes,,,,it was torture, He said, I will rush on, give me your bag, and off he shot. He flung he front door open and I made it. Hopefully the drains are fixed and the prawns are defrosted properly now. It seems so with all the great reviews. I do remember all the staff were attentive, and asked a few times how my meal was. And being typically British I said " fine". The truth as eating the food we all found it underwhelming.

This is the best cafe in Bedford. Lots of selection and there is something for everyone. Good service with a friendly atmosphere. You won't be disappointed and you will find your be returning. Can't wait till tomorrow. Great guys.

Food was amazing, service is excellent every time you go.

This is my partner and I local favourite spot, especially for date night. And this is the best kitchen you will find for gluten free and intolerance accommodation. The staff are great and the supper clubs are a must try. If you want a more relaxing sophisticated night with a loved one, family, friends but still an atmosphere and buzz without large crowds this is the place for you.

5xxxxx Lovely meal highly recommended

Fabulosa comida y servicio. La joven que nos atendía era muy conocedora del vino que elegimos, que era excelente relación calidad-precio. La elección de tapas fue suficiente para no ser abrumador y todo muy bien cocinado. El ambiente era nuboso y agradable. Definitivamente volveremos.

The Food is excellent with a large menu choice. The waiting staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant is nice, loved the decor. However, the management were unfriendly and arrogant.

What a lovely restaurant, really nice staff Very good food and a good atmosphere. We will definitely return when in the area.

Great service with great food. Will be coming again. Loved it ❤️

My husband and I had an amazing experience last night at Osteria. The service was excellent as was the food. We will definitely return.

Great place would recommend to anyone

First time here. Food is lovely, fresh and plentiful. Will definitely come back

We went for dinner with friends, and the ambiance was nice. The food was quite good, especially the starters. The service was a bit busy but it was worth the wait.
