    We got a deal voucher from living social for a glass of prosecco and a pasta or pizza dish each for £20, we were given half a glass each and I think they only opened one small bottle between us. The service also seemed different from what the other customers were receiving and I got the impression they were spending more and that might be a possible reason for that. The food was good I had lasagne and it was like I'd expect it to be. The restaurant could have done with a bit more character and if the heater outside had been lit I'm sure it would appear more welcoming to other potential customers.

    By far the best meal I've had since coming to Ireland! This is conveniently located in St. Ann's…read moresquare. We made a reservation here a couple days ago and were seated quickly. There is a 4 course meal option here where you can get a starter, a pasta, another main entree (+£5 if you get the steak and +£6 if you get the market special fish, which in this case was halibut and was delicious), and a dessert for £46. I got beef carpaccio, beef ragu with papardelle, lamb, and tiramisu + my friends ordered some different dishes so we could all try a little of everything. The food was absolutely amazing! Service was attentive + friendly! It's definitely not cheap, but if you're looking for a good "treat yo'self" option in Belfast, look no further than here!

    Group of us got together to catch up and thought we would try Coppi. We had been here last year and…read morethey have since done a renovation. The place has comfortable seating, combination of booths and chairs. It's a very noisy place so if you're going with more than 2 or 3 people it will be difficult to have good conversations. We were well taken care of by several servers that kept water and drinks coming when requested. We started with the Focaccia with olive oil, Cerignola Olives, and Anchovy Toast, Stracciatella & Marinated Peppers. The starters were well received and everything was very good. We then placed our orders, too many to list here, but I had the pea and ham risotto and a companion had the gnocchi. It was requested that the gnocchi only have the tomato sauce but it arrived with the basil and cheese on top. The dish was okay but nothing spectacular. It was offered to remake it but we declined just for lack of time and holding up everyone's dinners. The pea and ham risotto had whole peas and several small slices of ham on it. This dish was like eating a plate of melted cheese with peas thrown in. It was hard to distinguish the risotto from anything else in the dish. The pistachios had a nice toasted flavor to them but the cheese just over powered everything else. Some of the other dishes ordered were the duck ragu (seemed well received), but the beef cheek dishes were not well received and had a number of comments that the quality and flavor wasn't there. From what we recall from last year not only was the restaurant renovated but so was the menu and I think we preferred the old menu. Not sure there will be a return visit if we come back to the city again.

    Two weeks ago 150 extra special folk were wined and dined at the newly opened Italian restaurant…read morethat is Tony Macaroni at Victoria Square, Belfast. It occupies the prime spot out of all the restaurants in Vic Square, the iconic glass corner tower ( ex Chiquito). Tony Macaroni is a large Scottish (Glasgow) chain of "Real Italian Food" run by Sep Marini. This is the second one in Northern Ireland (after Bangor). I brought my daughter as my plus one, a welcome distraction from AQE preparations!! She was so thrilled and excited as it was a surprise for her. The interior has all been totally refurbished with the main features being the bar and the open kitchen. On arrival we were very warmly met and seated by the Manageress. There was Prosecco on arrival but I opted for the sparkling water and Fanta for my daughter. The menu was very extensive, with lots of mouth watering, Italian named dishes and my daughter immediately spotted the calamari whilst I opted for the Gamberoni (prawns). After a few minutes our dishes arrived and looked incredible. They were big portions!! The squid was juicy and perfectly cooked and the garlic mayo and sweet chilli sauce accompanied them well, whilst the prawns were subtly flavoured with lemon, garlic and white wine and served with sticky rice. It didn't take us long to finish!! Spaghetti carbonara is a firm favourite for my two daughters and for me I love calzone, so I ordered the Americana and my daughter insisted on chips (I tried to dissuade her as I suspected the portions would be large). When the dishes arrived I was certainly right about the big portion sizes!! The carbonara was excellent (my daughters honest opinion!!) and I must say did taste excellent!! The chips were big fat fellows. My calzone was a bit plump round the edges but bursting with filling- the sausage, bacon and ham bursting out along with the tomato, cheese and onion and was tremendous! Alas bellies beat our eyes and we had to stop and leave room for desert!! We asked for the rest to be packed (so no 2 daughter wouldn't feel left out!!). For sweets my daughter chose the white chocolate sundae whilst I was recommended the toffee tablet cheesecake. When they arrived my daughters eyes lit up!! She immediately went to work, like a busy beaver, deconstructing it, peeling back the layers of cone, mint, cream, raspberries, vanilla and strawberry ice cream until the treasure of white chocolate was unearthed at the bottom. Meanwhile my toffee tablet cheesecake, topped with raspberries and blackberries and served with a pot of cream was equally indulgent. "Tablet" I hear you say, it's not medicinal but is what our Scots friends call butterscotch fudge. There were nice chunks on and in the creamy toffee cheesecake. The biscuit base was quite thin and the addition of the pot of cream was maybe too much!! This was all washed down with a cappuccino and hot chocolate. Well we could hardly move after all that!! The food was excellent and service was slick. We were given a nice gift bag containing a glass and bottle of Prosecco (for the wife of course!!) as well as the remains of the spaghetti and pizza (for no 2 daughter). I shall definitely be back with the rest of the family as there are a few dishes I want to try and I love the Presto menu for £5.95 (£6.95 on Sunday) and the breakfasts and the "Go Jimmy style" of having pizza/pasta half/half, a great way to share.

    Deane and Decano is a nice intimate Italian cafe/bar/restaurant. I went for lunch which was very…read morereasonably priced. Lunch is served from 12pm - 3pm and includes a Pasta Bar with your choice of pasta and sauce for £5. I opted for the Rigatoni Arrabbiata adding brocolli and mushroom, these two additions added £3 to the bill which seemed a bit overpriced so probably best to stick with the straight pasta and sauce. The dish was very well presented and fresh parmesan was offered which completed the dish. Overall was quite tasty though the pasta was mildly overcooked. But the food arrived promptly and service was friendly. The americano I ordered afterwards was also quite nice. They do not offer filter coffee. In summation a very pleasant and reasonably priced Italian cafe/bar. They also do cheap takeaway of the pasta of the day.

    Lovely chilled out atmosphere and stylishly minimal decor. Perfect for a long lunch or special…read moreoccasion dinner. The menu isn't extensive but all pasta dishes are freshly prepared and full of flavour. I'm a woman who likes her food and portion sizes are ample. At lunch you can order whatever type of pasta and sauce and it's cooked fresh for you. Absolutely delicious! and price wise £5 for a plate of fresh pasta is good. The lasagne is one of my favourites and there are always daily specials on the board. The house wine is sourced by the owner and comes in bottles with a quirky cartoon pic of Mr Deane himself. Nice touch! I have eaten both lunch and dinner here. The service is good and efficient without being intrusive. Parking during the day can be a bit difficult but not impossible and in the evenings it's usually easy to get parked on Lisburn Road. Definitely worth the trek well not so much a trek really if I'm honest and I do prefer it to city centre. If you want a quiet drink after dinner there's loads of great bars within easy reach but that's a whole other review so watch this space!
