It had been 7 years since my last visit to this restaurant, as I had a bad experience on Christmas. However, I decided to give it another try for a mid-week birthday meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the head waiter who remembered us and led us to our table. The menu had not changed much since our last visit, but it was not a problem since it had been so long. We started with the mushrooms and fillet beef in red wine and chilli, as well as the avocado, mozzarella, and tomato. My only complaint was that there were too many sliced mushrooms compared to the strips of fillet beef. For our main courses, we chose the skate wing and fillet steak, served with fresh vegetables and sautéed...
Terrible all round. Over an hour to get starters. Failed to bring the bottle of still water requested. Moved us from our original table (next to toilets). to the bar area and didn’t notice the lack of crockery on the table (insufficient bread plates). Poor service and a total lack of customer awareness (other customers coming in after us and getting served before us). My wife had Fillet of Sea Bass, complete with bones, soggy fish implying being cooked from frozen. Vegetable selection poor and appearance bland and unappetising. Messed up the steak orders (well done, medium) giving the wrong steaks to those that had ordered. Service charge £40, laughable. We overheard other customers complain...
Eaten here many times over the past thirty years, including my parents 40th wedding anniversary when 20 of us ate, but what a disappointment last evening. Avacado, salmon and prawn starter had no taste. Skate wing had a very strong smell and taste of ammonia and dessert selection being very poor elected not to have one. Such a shame as the desserts are generally good. Coffee was weak and tasted cheap. At no time we’re we asked about the skate which was returned virtually as it came out. The vegetable selection consisted of two pieces of carrot each, four French beans, one piece each of broccoli and cauliflower, again needed seasoning. Always expensive in here but when good you don’t mind pay...
I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old. My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later. It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come. 3 generations later and still the same classy experience; The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble. If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.

Once again, this restaurant has gone above and beyond. We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday with a party of 9, and all the dishes were brought out together, promptly, and piping hot. The food met the incredibly high standards we have come to expect after 40 years of dining here. Special thanks to Enzo and the rest of the staff who made my dad's night unforgettable.
We called in today after a visit to the garden centre. I had a Tricolore salad to start and my other half Mussels in white wine and cream, our mains were Mussels for me and steak in sauce for him. The food was excellent and service could not be faulted Enzo and his team looked after us very well. This is our favourite place to eat.
I have visited this restaurant before and had a great experience. However, this time I was very disappointed. I ordered the calves liver, which was tough and flavorless. For the price, it was disgusting. I doubt that I will be returning in the future.

One of the best Italian restaurants outside of Italy. Consistently great food, well presented, sensibly priced, served by professional, friendly staff. The ambiance is smart, yet cosy. A great dining experience. Well done Enzo and The Team
