   I LOVE di maggios. Have been a returning customer for a very long time. Their ying yang chicken is unbelievable! Very small wait time & the staff are all lovely & friendly!

   Very family orientated venue, which meant that it was quite loud. We had a big part and food was out quickly and was delicious. The only downside is that we weren't asked if we wanted dessert or coffees (possibly because they thought the birthday cake was dessert? And we'd been there a good time so probably wanted to turn the tables) but some of the group would have liked an after dinner hot drink. Good options of gluten free and the dreaded Allergy Folder was easy to read.

   First time back in around 10 years. The place looks nice, clean and welcoming. Girl at the door was lovely, and was probably the only good thing about this place, props to her. Service during our food main meal was good, however we tried to get some desserts to takeaway, we waited at the counter for 10 minutes, was ignored, then my sister asked the girls behind the bar if she could get served for some ice cream, waited another 5 minutes, nah nothing, we walked out. Food is okay, pizza is doughy, very thin, a poor imitation of a thin Italian pizza. Pepperoni was pretty awful. Mozzarella dippers meh, food is 2/5. If you’re looking for mid meal, with decent service, this is the place for you. Visit Sunday 2nd March 14:00

   Always loved Di Maggios before the refurb. I've been a couple of times since, and it's okay, but the food isn't as good as it was in the past. Service can be patchy unless it's quiet, but a big no no for me is the automatic 8% tip they add to the bill, regardless of group size. My most recent trip (29Jan) saw us (2 people) arrive 6pm on a Tuesday. Initial service was good - order taken quickly and the starter was out quickly. We got the Louisiana wings to share. They were really not hot at all, and this has been the case the past few times. Really small wings too. The badass wings were legendary many years ago - very saucy, and very hot. And very painful if you had any exposed cut on your fingers. Progressively they seem to have been toned down, even before the refurb. The wings yesterday, however, were so dry with minimal sauce applied, and therefore not hot at all. Perhaps applied as a mist rather than a sauce. The plate was virtually clean afterwards such was the lack of sauce, and what was left on the plate was more watery than saucy. 10 wings each and we were still starving. The plates were taken away quickly and mains out soon after. I had spag bol - it was great to be honest, but felt a bit stingy on the amount. While it's a deepish bowl, there wasn't much and I was done in a couple of minutes. My son had the lasagne. Like the badass wings, the lasagne was legendary in the past. Yesterday, it was reasonable. But like the newer wings it felt quite dry inside it. Taste not amazing, quite a carroty taste in my opinion, but still good enough that it was finished. Good size though - no complaints on that. As a side note, and having had other meals as dine in and takeaway here, it does seem that anything with a sauce is given the bare minimum. I've had a few Mac and cheese (which I love) but they are a bit dry at times. At this point we were happy enough, but it's also at this point it went a bit downhill. The restaurant was fairly busy, but there were still a good number of staff running around. We wanted dessert, but it took about 40 minutes from finishing our main to be asked. After about 20 minutes, we tried to proactively catch someone to ask for the menu, but only succeeded after some time. Maybe we need to be more bold, but it seems that rather than certain staff dealing with certain tables, it just seems like all staff deal with all tables, so it's a bit chaotic. Dessert turned out to be nice (desserts always are) but we noticed it was sitting for a good 5 minutes on the counter and the bell was rung a few times before it was brought to us. Not great when a hot chocolate fudge cake is sitting with ice cream. Then we got the bill, and it came with an additional 8% tip already added. There was only 2 of us, and it's happened before, and this is a bit of a no no for me - I should decide if I tip based on service and how much. It's not a tip if it's already added on. I would always tip anyway, so I didn't complain and paid it, but it's little things like that which can put a negative ending on the experience, and can override any positives from your visit. And because it's already added, it doesn't seem as appreciated when payment is taken. In the end it was just a few pence under £70 for 2 people (including 3 drinks and the automatic tip). Put it this way, I typically don't leave reviews for food. But I felt I should, because how can a place improve if you don't share your experience.

   First visit since the refurb, I don’t think I’ll be back. We were seated for 30 minutes and were checked on all the time, it was a bit overkill. Felt really rushed, the food tasted like it wasn’t freshly made as it came out so quick and I felt sick afterwards. And who doesn’t slice a pizza before serving to a child! Gratuity tip should not be added onto the bill! This is a customer choice! Overall, I think I’d rather spend my money elsewhere, wish I had gone to carrigans!

   Excellent restaurant especially for families. Soft play is very handy and great distraction for the kids. Friendly staff and good portion sizes.

   I haven't been to this place in over 10 years. I had good memories of the times there in the past and was looking forward to some of that Italian feel at home flair. Sadly disappointed. Given the size of the restaurant, which can easily seat 150 guests, it wasn't particularly busy-with only a few tables (24-30guests at the time), I was disappointed with the level of service, professionalism and the speed of the food arriving. Managed to have my dinner without having a drink yet there's 2 servers behind the bar not doing much... In credit to our server, he did say it could take upto 2 hours to have food come out and it came out after 50mins, so that was faster than had been hoped. Perhaps the kitchen was busy with just eat or deliveroo, but if a restaurant's main focus is on takeaway only, then shut the restaurant and change your business model. The rent itself can't be cheap. The car park looks as though it's for a supermarket with what looks like over 80 spaces! The decor itself is still what it was when I last visited. Good back then but dated in terms of design and aesthetics. Its reminiscent of that old Gordon Ramsay's fish n chip shop, post WW2 era sort of thing. However it's kid friendly with a indoor play area for the kids. So kudos there. Pity. All in all...

   Plenty of free parking. Staff are friendly but seem a bit rushed at the table. Also the interior looks a bit run down and is showing its age. But the pizzas and calzone ate excellent and as a bonus the chicken is halal. Have sanitizer for covid but bot convinced tables are properly santized between customers.
