We went to The Corner Lounge Italian Restaurant for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It…read moreis a family run Italian and we found it to be very friendly and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is very tasteful and what looks expensively decorated and the seating is very comfortable. It has a large menu with lots of choices which you need in a restaurant. On arrival we were given bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar which we were not charged for. I had the carbonara and my wife had the scallopino di vitello a limone which is a veal dish with lemon and white wine sauce and for starters my wife had salmon fishcakes and I had the Camembert Fritto. We were both extremely happy with the service and quality of food and found no fault at all. The price was very good value also and we found was even cheaper than our local pub food. All in all a very good evening and one we will certainly remember and go back to.

We popped in here for a lunchtime snack. But, seeing the menu, it turned into a main meal. Lovely…read morerestaurant with attentive service. As already said the menu is fantastic with a great choice of starters, some for sharing. The main menu makes the mouth water with such a choice of excellent meals. Good wine selection available.

Poor service, average food, dissapointing experience!…read more If you going to book a party or group here, its not worth your money. And if your looking for a nice Italian restaurant, you would be better off going to Zizi's instead. We had a group booking for 35people for my 30th birthday, unfortunately one family couldn't turn up so there were 30 of us who all pre ordered our meals for the night. When we arrived no one checked if we were all here, orders were confused, wrong and some meals even forgotten, including my desert. One waitress asked me to check the orders when we got our starters and I advised them who wasn't here, despite that there orders still came out and she had the audacity to blame me for not checking the orders before the mains which I had already done and returned to them. Some of the meals were of poor quality, cold and not what I would expect from a chain like this. It was a stressful experience, and to top it off they tried charging me a 10℅ service charge because it was a group of 8 or more telling me it was compulsory. For one the service was awful, some of the waiting staff were rude(some were brilliant) I refused to Pay the service change and even then they didn't take my first response, considering the menu does state this servise charge is optional. The difference between my single mixed one starter and the mixed one sharer, was one extra piece of bread, yet the price was a £4 difference and it was served on a board instead of a plate. Nonna(my 85 year old Italian Nan) was very disappointed with both staff and food, stating 'this is not what I would class as standard quality Italian food at all', 'as for the staff there was no passion, they just placed our food in front of us, didn't ask if it was OK or if we needed anything else', they could definately benefit with extra customer service training. Overall instead of experiencing a nice, enjoyable authentic Italian birthday dinner (considering my family are Italians) It was a stressful, irritating and disappointing evening) and we all agreed this is one place we would not be returning to in the near future

They have tables outside which is nice as I like eating alfresco. The only trouble is they are right on the edge of a road. Luckily the road is not too busy. The restaurant offers a superb menu with lots of choice including light bites and salads, as well as specialities suitable to the time of day such as full English and continental breakfasts and coffee and cake in the afternoon. Obviously for an italian restaurant, the menu mainly consists of pizzas and pastas but there are various other dishes of meat and fish. They are open for breakfast from 9am to 11.30 and other food is available from 11am until 11pm.

We had to choose from the Christmas menu but their year round menu is much more extensive. They have a fairly good vegetarian selection as well as plenty of dishes for meat and fish lovers. Their pizza is delicious as is their garlic bread. The restaurant is quite large and can cater for quite a number of people. They also have a seating area outside overlooking the river which is a nice setting on a summers day, be it lunchtime or evening. There is a large car park very close by although you do have to pay for parking. Their prices are reasonable and are comparable to somewhere like Pizza Express
