    We booked Ariel as it was my daughters 20th birthday. I mentioned it while booking as it is sometimes a nice touch for staff to say - Happy Birthday. No mention, but not a biggey. Service was just ok, a little slow. Our waitress didn't engage and didn't really want to be there - that's what it felt like to us. Shouted across our table to a fellow staff member. What was really off putting for me was the staff member in the toilets rushing into your cubicle to spay and clean up a milli-second after exiting. All together not a memorable visit for me or my wife as her food was average, such a shame as it's my daughter's favourite place, but we didnt mention our disappointment as it wasn't a cheap evening.

    We had the gnocchi, caponata and Italian salad. The portions were generous, but the food tasted bland.

    Excellent service and great pizza. Beautiful decor too. Felt so relaxing and not having to fight over loud music with conversation

    Was expecting much more. Bit disappointed that at that price bracket food was average
