Il Castello is a very good restaurant in a town with an abundance of Good Restaurants,…read moreI have eaten here with my wife on more than one occasion, in our opinion this restaurant is Special enough to use for special occasions, but not so exclusive that you can't use it for a casual night out. It has some pretty weighty neighbours, Cafe Bleu, and the newly opened Moorings in its midst, but It easily holds it's own. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed, the Italian country theme is carried well throughout the dining room and reception area, where the impressive wine rack is on display. Service is Brilliant some of the best in Newark, The food is Brilliant, plenty of time to enjoy it, you aren't rushed, and as an endorsement we have seen real Italian customers on vacation in the UK using the restaurant. The Location and current re-development of what was a handy car park makes it very difficult to park near the restaurant, and it doesn't stand out from the road which is a shame, but also makes it feel slightly more exclusive. Well worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch after reading a positive review in the Times…read more The restaurant was very quite ensuring that the waiter was very attentive! A mixture of furniture in a small room provided a relative feeling of an Eastern European restaurant that was physically comfortable and discreet. The lunch time menu was succinct but provided an added complexity that it all sounded really nice but after much deliberation I settled on: Mushrooms in a garlic sauce on a toasted olive bread that was both delicate in taste and complex in taste. Not being too adventurous today I opted for the chicken schnitzel hoping that it was as god as the last one I ate in Muchengladbach a number of years ago. Well is as good as I remember it but far larger than I was anticipating and really succulent with a lovely crisp bread crumb covering. A generous portion of home made chips that were a perfect compliment with an amazing crispness and fluffy inside. We will give it a couple of weeks and turn to test out the evening menu.

My husband and I happened upon this delightful restaurant during a recent lovely visit to Newark on…read moreTrent. From the minute we walked in we were hooked. Ramona welcomed us and showed us to a lovely table. We felt like we had just been seated in her dining room at her home. [Later we found out that she is the owner! So that was pretty spot on] She went out of her way to make sure that we had just the right wine to go with our entrees, allowing us to sample a few before selecting a bottle. We ordered goulash (first time ever) and a pork dish that was amazing. We shared an apple strudel that was delicious as well. Since we will be traveling to Romania in July, we wanted to try Modern Eastern European cuisine. An added bonus was when Romona sat down with us and helped create a travel itinerary for our trip to Romania. We were so pleased with our dining experience here and hope that we have more like this in Bucharest and beyond.

We went as a party of 10 for a friends birthday, so went with the set buffet menu that they do there, and broke down our group as 2 x tables of 4 and 1 x table of 2. We sat down and ordered out first courses at around 18:30hrs. The restaurant offers a 3-course meal for £16.80 per head on a 4-table, and £14 per head on smaller tables of 2 or 3. For the larger table we had a choice of 4 starters for the table. The starters are all you would like to eat so once you have cleared your starters they do offer you more if you would like them. The quality of our food was exceptionally good in my opinion, and was without doubt the best chinese food I have ever tasted. The food was served to us fairly quickly on the first course, adn was extremely hot and very good. The second course is selected from another part of the menu, and I think we received 2 or 3 second course dishes per table. Again the quality of the food was very good although actually receiving the food did take a while. We ordered our mains and again we had to wait some considerable time before we received them, although again the quality of the food was exceptional. We received 4 main course dishes which you can help yourself to from the centre of the table, and also a large dish of special fried rice and a large plate of Chicken chow mein. As I say, the food was exceptionally good, hot and very fresh, and tasted better than I have come to expect from chinese restaurants in the area. The service was very friendly, and very polite too and the quality of the waiting staff was very good in my opinion. They pour your wine for you, dress you with your napkin too, so they do things properly really. I was insulted by one of the waitresses, although Im sure this was not on purpose, but a comment made to me at our table was not taken very well at all, and was a little close to the edge in terms of not offending your customers. Other than that though, I have no problems with the restaurant staff at all, and was very happy with that aspect of the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also good, and its a lovely looking place and it doesnt feel like you are in Newark at all once you are in there, which is a nice change ;) My only real complaint is the speed of the evening. We had sat down at 6:20ish, with the idea of being out for 8:00 to 8:30 to go into town. This did not happen, and the evening was dragged out a lot for us, and another party I knew who were there for another event. It took 3 1/2 hours for us to get our meal and the bill and be ready to leave, which I found shocking really. We had finished eating between courses and they did seem to take our orders fairly quickly for the next course, but the food did take a long time to come out. Im not sure why this was, although they were very keen to keep bringing our table wine and drinks from the bar, maybe this was a tactic to get us to spend big at the bar, but this was never our intention as we were heading into town for a birthday. I think 3 1/2 hours for a 3 course meal is way too long really, and Im certain it should only have been around half that time. The restaurant was not really busy either, certainly not full and probably only at just over half capacity, so that cannot be blamed for how slow we got our table turned around and out. Its a shame really, as this is the only thing I feel let it down, other than one rude waitress/floor manager. The food was great, the atmosphere is very nice and I feel that for the price the food cost, it was still worth the money as we still had a good night. I would reccomend going to Sky Rainbow / Royal Garden as even though it took a while to get us sorted, I still thenk it was good, and good value too.
