    We decided to celebrate our anniversary here and it was our first time at Libertino! The food was absolutely divine, we really enjoyed the Sicilian prawns, the squid ink pasta with mussels, the Crema di Zucca and the Tiramisu is a MUST HAVE! So light and so divine. The ambience and restaurant is very artsy, a little loud and quite intimate, the lighting and colour were amazing for a date night. The service was lacking a little, I had notified them well in advance that we were celebrating our anniversary - and while they tried to make us a special plate, it took over 30 minutes to get the Tiramisu to us. The waiter then said that she had to do it herself because they were really busy in the kitchen. We appreciated the sweet gesture but the waiting took away from the experience a little. The table that we had was also way too small. We wanted to try a bunch of dishes but couldn't really do so because of the space on the table, we even started using the floating shelf nearby to put some of our side plates and cutlery to clear up the table space. At one point, the waiter even spilled over our wine because of trying to create space on the table. We also asked for some crushed chillies and garlic which never arrived even when we had our second round of mains. They were really courteous in bringing us another glass of wine to make up for the spill, which was really appreciated. Overall, it was a really nice first time experience

    I was disgusted with the service. We had a booking for 20:30 and when we arrived we were told to wait at the bar. We waited 45 minutes and ended up leaving the restaurant because we were so hungry

    Food was a disappointment - we had high hopes but the pizza (Margarita) was uninspiring and Fettucine did not deliver. Was quite busy when we arrived so that could have impacted on quality but overall we did not enjoy. Waitress was nice albeit seemed unsure of the menu and what drinks were available to order.

    Food, decor and vibe was great. Server was nice but her knowledge of the menu was sub par, timing slow and wait times long. Would go again but highly recommend that they upskill the service level more

    Overall it was a great experience. 1 of our party had food poisoning from the clams though.
