Starter, main course and couple of drinks each was less than £60 for two. There's an outside dining area for those hot sticky nights we get so many of in this country. Head chef Enrico Maglifiore does and excellent job of bringing the tastes of Italy to Sutton. For those of you still wondering where this gem is, it's the old Barley pub right on the Mere Green island.

It's simple. If you want a 1970's experience, you are in the right place…read more You walk in and you see what you are going to get, a dated restaurant, serving dated food. DO NOT let this bother you. - recently, my wife and I ate an OK Greek meal, but it was in a such a beautiful premises, that anything but an amazing food experience would have been a let down. The food didn't match the quality of the restaurant. I just think that in this restaurant, when you walk in, it was so 1970's, that anything half decent was going to impress. It wasn't the best food. King prawns were over cooked, the bread was undercooked, the calamari was perfectly cooked, but the coating/batter was under. My 8oz fillet was perfectly cooked, but the pate on top was really cheap, coarse, tasteless, horrible pate. The sauce with the steak was stupidly thick, (but seriously tasty). Such a shame. That said, it was great. I love the fact that after all those comments, I loved it. I also can't wait to take friends there to see what they think. I think you should visit. It's a great evening.

Tiled, mirrored walls and arching pillars add a sense of authenticity to the interior and leather seats make the whole set-up feel plush and expensive. Which is very apt indeed, as most dishes cost in excess of £15 each. On my visit, I sampled the 'pollo alla duchessa' - chicken, prawn and asparagus in a brandy and cream sauce, which was gorgeous, and I'd definitely visit again. But only if somebody else was paying!

I've been in and also ordered for delivery via Deliveroo…read more The first time I went in I was with a friend and we wandered around Grand Central trying to find somewhere chilled, with comfy seats that we also fancied eating in. That seemed to be quite a tricky mission to achieve. It's all about the quick churn, which I suppose is understandable given it all sits on top of the huge New Street Station. Anyway, this place beckoned and the staff were friendly so why not? I can't remember what my pal had, but I had the pizza, aka Prosciutto di Parma e Ruccola! I have to say it was pretty good. Seemed fresh, nice base, decent quality mozzarella and ham. Worked well as a combo. All in I'd recommend for a quick stopover. On to the delivery ... I actually ordered the same pizza, but this time added in a house salad and a classic Tiramisu. Everything arrived within the alloted time, despite the driver somehow getting lost with his GPS! After hunting him down up the road I could retire to scoff. The pizza was good, although a tad on the salty side, and pretty big with a big portion of Rocket atop, the Tirramasu awesome for the money (£2.20) and the salad very nice and fresh. There was enough for two and at £19.90 including the £2.50 Deliveroo fee it has to be considered a very decent value. Of course, as is so often with Deliveroo deliveries to me, the pizza was close to cold.

Needing some lunch to share with colleagues recently we visited and picked up some wonderful food. The best thing we tried was definitely the salad boxes loaded with plenty of delicious cheese and cold meats for around £4 each. They have a very good selection of takeaway food. They stock lots of Italian style preserves, dry foods and olive oils. We also enjoyed some of their Italian biscuits and they stock lots of after dinner goodies. They serve excellent coffee, to stay or go. The staff were very friendly, patient and helpful as we made our choices. If you are looking for something special as a gift or a nice treat for lunch this place is perfect.
