"We were so looking forward to trying this place out for the first time tonight Friday 10th Nov. We are very disappointed. The service was lovely. The atmosphere was great. The food was rubbish, seriously overpriced for what you get. We ordered olives and scallops for starters. The olives and bread were lovely. The scallops were slightly undercooked, a bit wet if you ask me and the linguine was too wet also. We ordered the special steak. I insisted on no fat. My steak was literally just fat. My husband’s was ok, my son and I couldn’t eat more than half. It was literally riddled with fatty tumours. Seriously disgusting. The roasted tomatoes were not roasted at all. They were just warm. I don’t know. Add a bit of olive oil and leave in the oven a little longer. The chips were fine. My husband enjoyed the chocolate mousse. My and my son’ s sticky toffee was ok but the custard is warmed up in microwave. It makes it lumpy with a thin coat on top. Not great. But most importantly the table was sticky all over. Use an actual sponge with actual soap and dry with a cloth. This is the only way it won’t be sticky! We paid £150 with no wine. We had a complimentary bottle with the steak special. We won’t go again. The food was not at all the standard it should be. Maybe it was a bad day. The place was busy but this is not for us. We like gourmet food and we thought that it was what we were going to get. If you want delicious food then this place is not the one. The manager and our waitress were lovely but that just wasn’t enough. Talk to the chef and don’t serve disgusting steak specials. Parking: We were told we had to pay for parking when we got there. That should be all over the website. So you get one hour free which means you have to leave in the middle of the meal to pay. Inconvenient for everyone. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £100+ Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chips, Mousse Au Chocolat Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot"

"Decided last minute after the cinema to go to Prezzo for dinner -just myself and my daughter They had plenty of tables although you would have thought I’d rocked up at about mins before closing with a party of ten by the surly eye...roll I got from the waitress. The chicken pasta dish I ordered had a fairly large (perhaps an inch long) chicken bone in it which I didn’t notice until it was in my mouth. I discretely told the waitress to be told, that it’s to be expected as chicken has bones. I’m aware chicken has bones and cows do too but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t expect to find bones in a spag Bol either!! Again more rolling eyes but (despite the fact they didn’t bring round Parmesan or the pepper grinder which is half the fun of eating out in an Italian) the food tasted good so I let that pass. Then I ordered tiramisu and it came frozen .. I’d handed back my menu so wasn’t sure if I’d missed something maybe this was a special sort of ice-cream tiramisu I ate it so as not to be fussy and it tasted ok but it wasn’t that great ?? When the waiter collected the plates I asked if I’d missed something and was it supposed to be frozen he looked blank and after about ten mins the surly girl comes over with the bill and did apologise (it wasn’t the most heartfelt apology) and removed the tiramisu from the bill as though she was doing some huge favour errrrrr I have just eaten Un-defrosted cream !!! I at this point decided to make no fuss just cut my losses and make a note not to eat there again- and not to tip. Sad really as the food tasted ok but the staff didn’t look like they wanted to be there and these little touches meant that I won’t go back."
