After 1 hour of tennis at half past 3 my family and I went to a restaurant that was worth…read moreremembering. This restaurant was Carluccio's, the reason my family and I went to this restaurant was because we went to one in Nottingham and we loved it, today when we arrived we were greeted by a man who was very cheerful and escorted us to our table as we had booked the day before and he said "You wouldn't wanted to have been here one hour earlier it was packed full of people!". So when we ordered we had a game of cards and then about 5 - 7 minutes our starters arrived I chose garlic bread as I knew my main course would fill me up, when my main course arrived I was amazed how big it was and was glad I ordered garlic bread, the main course I ordered was chicken Milanese and I was astounded how well cooked it was along with some pasta as I dislike tomatoes. I didn't have dessert as I was full from my main course. Great restaurant brilliant staff, good car parking across the street, 5 stars

5th visit to this restaurant this time for Sunday lunch. Food and service generally pretty good but…read morea few issues. Appetizers were good and they allowed two of us to split a carbonara as an appetizer...nice service. Unfortunately, and for the 3rd time, they had "run out" of swordfish despite accepting my order. The alternative offered was OK (turbot) but over breaded...I tasted more coating than fish which was supposed to be the main element. The others in my party had Chicken Milanese which was very good. But then they'd run out of coffee ice cream (fresh stuff fine but ice cream?) They clearly have cut inventory to the minimum so be prepared for missing items. Finally, and this is somewhat picky, they took a true classic, Canolis, and ruined them by trying to be fancy and just coming off as pretentious. Canolis do not ever need chocolate in the pastry or weird candied fruit; they are a simple delectable treat...these were well cooked but ruined. Overall a decent place but I've had better.

I dined there today with a party of six and was initially impressed by the prompt attention paid by the front of house staff and the greeting they gave. The table was placed in the window and although it was a round table it seemed fairly obvious to me that it would be a bit of a struggle for room once we filled it up with drinks and dishes - and so it proved. I would have thought this was fairly obvious to staff as more items were brought across to us, but they never took the opportunity to remove the items surplus to requirements on there, meaning we were left to shuffle glasses and plates around. This small issue aside I am very positive about the overall experience I enjoyed. The choice of food was good and as they opened up many dishes to be taken as either a 'starter' or 'main' portion it meant there was a wide choice of dishes to try. Starters were in the region of £5 and mains were generally around the £10 mark, slightly more if you went for the steak or fish dishes. The furnishings were smart and it was pleasing atmosphere to sit in and enjoy a good well cooked meal with friends and family.

I had the t-bone steak and my wife had a calzone pizza, when the meals arrived they looked fantastic, the steak was rare as requested, it was melt in the mouth. My wife's pizza was excellent, the ham was not the processed meat often used in other resteraunts, the base was fresh and really tasty. One thing I must mention was the service. As I have previously mentioned the place was really busy, Christmas parties I assume, but the service didn't suffer the staff were excellent and the food was really quick to arrive. If I am down this was again I will defiantly return.

By far the best pizza in town. Pizzaria Savai is situated on the London Road roundabout (opposite…read morethe BBC) with some parking outside, but only a short walk from the Hockley and Lace Market areas, and very close by the Ice Stadium. It offers a wide range of pizza and pasta options, all freshly made and cooked right in front of you in this bustling proper Italian restaurant. Service is friendly and efficient, and the owners (and their extended family) are always on hand to keep things on track. The pizzas have authentic thin bases and come with a generous range of toppings. Prices are reasonable, starters are good, and there is an good range of wines. This is the real thing - don't waste your time and money in the ubiquitous and uniformly dull chains of competitors.

I was lucky enough to be taken here for Valentine's Day a few years ago and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The food is French, with a few English twists, and there is a fairly extensive wine list (for such a small establishment). Despite the intimacy of the setting the service is unobtrusive and extremely efficient. The only minor point is that I was aware that everyone could hear what everyone else was saying. Not ideal but the food more than made up for it.
