i was pretty disappointed with our experience at the italian kitchen. a really lovely,cosy restaurant; we were greeted by the friendly manager and could smell the mostdeliciouspizzas as we entered.
sadly, we waited close on an hour for food in a restaurant with only 10 tables occupied. we noticed that many of the tables around us were also waiting on food. turns out they had a very big table in their downstairs private room. but we were only notified about this after complaining. no complimentary bread basket to tide us over on the long wait either!
as for the food: i had the ham and mushroom rissoto and it was amazing-and a huge portion too. leftover for the next day's lunch -perfect! however, 2 fillets ordered at the table were both overcooked to various degrees. to her credit, when the manager came to the table and was notified , she did offer to take the food back. but after such a lengthy wait- the guys were super hungry and declined. this was all after having to wait further for the 4th dish at the table; a pizza that took longer to come out as the wrong toppings were put on and discovered after.
the pizza was reportedly delicious, as were the sauces accompanying the steaks.
such a lovely restaurant, anddeliciousfood -though i'd reccomend not ordered the steak as this was not a highlight.
i'll probably be back to try the pizza , but not in a great hurry after my experience.
