Good food spoiled by appalling service on 22 August 2025. 3 hours to get a meal in a small restaurant with 3 people serving. We got a free dessert and coffee as an apology of "its been one of those nights". Not one I want to go through again !!
Rather underwhelmed-expensive for what you get eg antipasto for 2 really not exciting-no artichoke hearts, no mozzarella-no love! Main course ok-but nothing exceptional-for £90 not worth it! Shame
Came across this restaurant by chance. Reviews were mixed, but I wanted to try for myself. I love small local businesses and wanted to support. Walking in the atmosphere was nice, chilled, and intimate. We were seated straightaway. Had a little time to go over the menu, which had plenty of options. The food smelt amazing. Ordered out starters, which was so tasty I could have eaten two plates! Now, with the mains, we waited nearly an hour for them to come out! I did have to ask the waitress where they were, to which she responded politely that were busy, but it was a long wait. I was a little uncomfortable on the chairs as there was no cushion support, considering they were solid wooden chairs, I had to stand up at one point to relieve myself. Something to consider, especially if the wait is long between courses. The main courses were nice, that made up for the delay and the dessert was also delicious. Overall, a good experience apart from the wait and the food was authentic. I would go back maybe on day they are not so busy.
I have been to Azzurro Ristorante on quite a few occasions. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are so friendly and helpful. The food is second to none, if you want a place to enjoy food and company without shouting over the music than look no further.
Food was okay but service was quite slow and think it's a bit overpriced for what you get - the bruschetta in particular seemed like all store bought ingredients
Decided to give Azzurro a try with a couple of friends, as none of us had been before. In terms of positives, it's nice and cosy inside with a good ambience. The service was reasonably good too. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. My main course was probably the pick of the 3 dishes. I had Sea Bass with Crab Linguine. It was good but not amazing. I was excited to order the Limoncello and Ricotta cheesecake, however it was a very stingy portion. Tasted OK but I've had better. The Coffee was good.
Nice little independent restaurant on Burton Road, does unfortunately give the vibe of a hobby Business. Some of the wait staff were excellent but a few were very disinterested and actively seemed to be ignoring tables. The food was good, but at a very high price point. Am hoping we just caught them on an off day, will probably try again at some point in the future
Independent restaurant in a lovely location with a warm atmosphere. The food is freshly prepared and is full of Italian flavours. I will certainly recommend a visit, if you like genuine food prepared in style.
