“Had a lovely evening. The food was well cooked and delicious. The service was excellent”

“The pizza had a variety of ingredients which all complemented the overall taste. My family and I really enjoyed the pizza. I recommend this pizza place to others. Thank you”

“Located at Feltham nearby,it is so far the best Nepali restaurant I go to dine with my dear wife on our dinner night once a month.I strongly recommend Chilli momo,steamed momo,chatpate,Aunti ko Aloo.Also,every Saturday at the end of the month,they offer ''Unlimited Momo'' steamed momos(chicken,pork & veg) specifically for £13 per person having as many as plates as you want within 2 hours!Not a bad deal innit?Moreover,they got happy hour well as on every Friday & Saturday.they got music band live which you will have to check on their Instagram page for updates or so. The atmosphere is vibrant with good music as well as gives the vibe of pub as if it is Nepali version of Wetherspoon. Service wise,the staff are hard workers and dedicated in providing the best service whole-heartedly.A huge shoutout to Trishna for being amazing and cheerful staff in providing excellent customer service going extra mile as me and my wife felt welcomed as well as cared for! Highly recommended & definitely coming back for sure!”

“Excellent Italian Restaurant in Watford! This is a fantastic Italian restaurant with delicious food, generous portions, and great value. The flavors are authentic, and every dish is well-prepared. Service is very efficient, even during busy lunchtime hours. The fact that it’s always packed shows how popular it is with locals—I believe it’s a well-renowned spot in the area. Located in a very convenient spot in Watford, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for quality Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!”

“Had a Groupon voucher for lunch and bottomless Prosecco. Went on a sunny Sunday lunch time. We were given a window seat, which was perfect for people watching. Food was good, service good and enough Prosecco to enjoy the day. Followed by a lovely stroll through Green Park”

“Although rather pricey , it was really very good. A delicious meal, well crafted and very tasty. The Matriarch was welcoming, efficient and friendly despite limited English. And sometimes showed a radiant smile. The restaurant is clean, pleasant and well presented . A restaurant level toilet was a bonus too and clean. I'd probably just go for more special occasions rather than everyday given the price . I was very pleased with my experience here.”

“Excellent jazz night at Ark. Live jazz band, insane magician, full house, and the food was just the best. Oyster Rockefellers, seafood platter, and surf & turf to share. Very, very impressive.”

“A lovely little gem in Hampton Wick! The staff at Pomegranate are super friendly and welcoming, and the food is fantastic. The pasta is delicious, the bacon baguettes are the best! The perfect quiet local spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend!”

“The seafood pasta special is amazing and really impressed by the staff here. Everyone is so friendly. Overall good vibes”

“Excellent food and service, surprisingly easy for a walk-in without a reservation, but in fairness was a sunny Wednesday evening around 6pm. Highly recommend the boar ragù and ribbon pappardelle, and the mango panna cotta with passionfruit drizzle. The fried courgettes and calamari strips were on point too.”

“One of the best Italian restaurants we visited in London so far, the tiramisu is soooo good! If you are tiramisu fan this is the must try. We also love the crab meat courgette pasta very much, it's fresh hand made of fluffy white flour, delicate flavour of crab meats and tender courgette, suitable for kids too.”

“Great food, nice staff! All about service, they DO share the passion for great Italian food. Simple, but with attention to detail and focus on taste. As being in Italy! Guys keep up the good work!”

“And here for a slow Sunday lunch! We used to eat here often and always enjoyed it but have been since pre Covid times. The ambience hadn’t changed, staff were just as friendly and helpful as always and the food was good!! Don’t come here for fast food, especially at busy times, as our meal took a while to arrive, but it gave us time to chat and catch up whilst enjoying a nice wine. Definitely going to try and return more frequently.”

“Always had a great meal here, whether as a couple or in a large group. Various group sizes can be accommodated including in a secluded 'private' room. Restaurant is clean and bright with happy attentive staff. Good menu ranging from pizzas to more 'complicated' Italian fare all served promptly. Sunday roasts provided and the full menu available for take-away.”

“This hotel/pub it was a nice random place that surprised us with a delicious burger and a nice kind of relaxing atmosphere. Kind of because it is by the main road, but relaxing because it was sunny, you can see Thames river over the road and enjoy a pint and some food. The staff was friendly, quite helpful, and polite even they were massively understaffed and they were running all over. The management should do their job better and not exploy their people, but ot might be the exception as it was a sunny day and lots of people joined us so this time I will not consider this in my review. We will update it if we return, and it will be a similar situation. Parking is available on the back of the hotel or on the side streets, but with limited access.”

“"Posh", authentic Indian food at a reasonable price, wide range of beers on tap and a relaxed friendly atmosphere... what's not to love? Having lived in the area for a while now, we walked past The Jolly Butchers a few times and had entirely the wrong impression from the outside. Wish we'd discovered it sooner! Super casual spot with delicious Indian food. We ordered the butter chicken, some naan, rice and onion bhaji which was all excellent but the salmon was stand out! ... dog friendly too!”

“Visited with my son and friends on a Saturday, the pub was packed and very lively! The barmaid who served us was friendly and polite ,karaoke was in full swing and we had a great time.The pub toilets were clean which always helps! We didn't have a meal but the menu looked tasty so will be going back to sample it,I would highly recommend you pay a visit to this happy,well run pub.”

“We order the large pizza, you can half and half of different types. We had it to take away, but you can order and get delivered or dine in. Really noce and authentic Italian pizza. The dough was thin and ingredients were great quality. The place looked clean and service was very kind. Hopefully next time we'll be dining in. Highly recommend the pizza.”

“The atmosphere of this restaurant makes you want to stay longer. Soft lighting, calm music, and delicious food create the perfect combination. The risotto was creamy and full of flavor.”

“Food - amazing. Large portions, many options. You will not go home hungry. Very flavoursome and arrived in good time. Fantastic service, all staff serve with a smile and, even if you made a mistake, don’t let it show, even though they are very busy. Take orders well, cleaned the tables quickly and effectively. Very respectable bill for a birthday party of 9 with starters, drinks, mains, desert and coffee. Totalled about £40 each for a lot of food - you won’t be disappointed. Adaptable if you want more heat or have other requirements. Vegetarian options and some vegan options or adaptions. Only negative is the the atmosphere is quite loud - so you may struggle to hear some people on your table. However, while it was loud this did fit with the family friendly feeling of the venue. Will definitely return!”

“Tonight, was my first time coming to Rocca and it didn’t disappoint! Food was fresh and flavoursome and absolutely delicious! Staff were very attentive and the ambience was good. Set in the very picturesque Dulwich Village! Tried my first Affogato (ice cream with an espresso shot) this was a lovely end to the evening and food was reasonably priced. The restaurant was busy which is always a great sign. I came with friends but it was family friendly. Also Dog friendly too. My friend’s dog was provided with a water bowl. Thank you, I’ll be back in 2026!”

“I came here with my partner and children. Delicious food and drinks. Friendly staff. Relaxing and gives out nice holiday vibes. Family friendly. I definitely want to go again. Thank you.”

“We were returning from a hospital appointment in London and decided to stop at Ask Italian in Beckenham so that we could be joined by my sister who lives there and lunch together. The service was excellent. Our daughter is in a complex wheelchair and staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to find a table in a comfortable space. There was exceptional attention to our daughter's needs and to my choice of food as I have food allergies. The food, the drink, the kindness and care were notable and guaranteed we would return there again and again. Having a very accessible toilet for our daughter turned this visit to a restaurant into one of the best we have experienced. Thank you to all the staff in so many ways. Jill, Nick and Amy xx”

“Found this lovely little country pub while going for a drive. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing. We only had a starter and some sides, but there was a lot to choose from on the menu. We didn't have to wait to long for our food and it was served hot, on clean plates and the cutlery was clean as well, and it was really lovely food. I will definitely come back for another visit.”

“Absolutely gorgeous Thai food. The gyozas were so crispy and well-filled and the dipping sauce brought a lovely sour saltiness to the dish. We ordered the Pad Thai and chicken teriyaki. Both dishes were absolutely lovely, warming, and generously portioned. Upon request the chefs were more than happy to add chicken to my dish although not on the menu and I greatly appreciated how welcoming and attentive the servers were throughout.”

“Had an amazing time yesterday when celebrating my birthday with family. From the moment we stepped in the door we were welcomed warmly and with bright smile. The singer was amazing and made the birthday that little bit better! The food was okay and the Sunday variety was good. Spaghetti tree staff were nothing short of helpful.”

“The food was absolutely phenomenal! Who knew humble fava could be turned into something divine? Yet here, they elevated it – with the most perfect shrimp, fragrant herbs and a harmony of flavors that made every bite unforgettable. The slow-cooked lamb shank was melt-in-your-mouth tender, beautifully seasoned and truly comforting. And the burger? Honestly, the best I’ve ever had – juicy, flavorful, with a heavenly bun and ingredients that blended together perfectly. But it's not just about the food. The atmosphere of this place is truly one of a kind. The courtyard is an oasis – full of beautiful plants, soft and thoughtful lighting that creates a warm and romantic mood, and music that complements the experience without overpowering conversation. And of course, the staff! kind, attentive, genuinely welcoming! I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a restaurant. If you’re looking to enjoy exceptional food in a beautiful setting, surrounded by people who truly love what they do – don’t miss this place!”

“Celebrated my daughters baptism here. The food was exquisite. Really high end in dining right in the centre of London. The staff were incredibly accommodating. They really went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a good time and they were really friendly. Would recommend for anyone looking to host any events. Would also be perfect for any work lunches/dinners or just a casual evening/date night. Top top”

“Nestled in the heart of East London’s Brick Lane, Fiore Dell Amore Italian Restaurant is a hidden gem that offers an exquisite dining experience. From the moment you step through the door, you are enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and elegance that sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The ambient lighting, tasteful decor, and soft background music create a perfect setting for a romantic dinner or a cosy gathering with friends. One of the highlights of our lunch was the impeccable service. The staff at Fiore Dell Amore is genuinely welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels like a VIP. Our server was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, offering excellent recommendations. It’s clear that the team here takes pride in providing top-notch hospitality. We started our culinary journey with a selection of hot bites that truly showcased the chef's talent. The prawns were golden and crisp. The calamari was perfectly tender, served with a zesty marinara sauce that added a delightful kick. Another standout was the galic bread, perfectly toasted bread. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavours and textures that left us eager for more. For the main course, we opted for the chef’s special Chicken Penne Pasta. This dish was nothing short of spectacular. The penne was cooked to al dente perfection, enveloped in a creamy, flavourful sauce that was rich but not overwhelming. The chicken was tender and succulent. The careful balance of ingredients and the chef's attention to detail made this a standout entree that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the restaurant. No Italian meal is complete without a great drink, and the mojitos at Fiore Dell Amore did not disappoint. These mocktails were expertly crafted, with just the right mix of mint, lime, and sweetness. They were refreshing and perfectly balanced, providing a delightful accompaniment to our meal and enhancing the overall dining experience. In conclusion, Fiore Dell Amore Italian Restaurant offers a delightful blend of exceptional cuisine, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding service. Whether you are looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a delicious meal, this restaurant is a perfect choice. We left feeling thoroughly satisfied and eager to return, knowing that we had experienced some of the best Italian cuisine the east end has to offer.”
