Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Having tried a number of Italian restaurants around the area, my wife and I tried Roberto's for the first time last Saturday. All I can say is, "Why did it take us so long?" From the moment we arrived, we were met with extremely courteous and efficient service that was very impressive. Even when the night started to get busy, the staff remained efficient and professional throughout. The atmosphere was wonderful and brought back memories of when we were married in Italy. It has a traditional Italian feel to it that is sadly lacking in other restaurants we have visited. But what you are really interested in is the food. Well, it was wonderful. Roberto's even pride themselves on using locally sourced produce. We are now looking forward to returning again soon to celebrate our wedding anniversary. And any other occasion.

Excellent atmosphere, good vibe, fun music and food to make your toes curl!

Went to Chaophraya at lunch time couple of weeks ago for birthday party, fantastic food and service, so decided to go again for my birthday!!

Fantastic all round. Best Indian in the region, and that is a great accolade in this area. All food freshly cooked, efficient friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. Won't be going elsewhere again.

We've been eating at Rice for years and the food is really good but the service has been going down hill. This afternoon we went for a fathers day meal and the service was really shoddy and bordering on the unfriendly. My son is vegan and I'm veggie so we always make sure the dishes contain no meat etc. Nevertheless they brought meat starters which my son bit into. Instead of apologising they tried to blamed us even though we had clearly ordered veggie starters. The rest of the food was slow in coming and we had to ask them to explain the bill. The waiters seems more interested in chatting to each other or checking out their mobiles rather than serving us and the other customers. It's a shame but I don't think we'll be going back.

Excellent food and the atmosphere was good. The buffet is well worth the money and there is always plenty of choice.

What dining experience ! My wife ordered the sea bass I went with the carvery we ordered the drinks they came in record time after that it was downhill all the way We waited and waited no explanation on why we were not served That's when I said enough is enough and asked for the bill for the drinks that took five mins to arrive the total time we wasted in the restaurant was 1 hour 15 mins If that is what you call service its about time someone got a rocket upn there arse We will not use this place again you get better service at KFC Chris Acaster

Under new management ,serving Fantastic home cooked food,using fresh produce,Even the sweets are home made.The giant Yorkshires are also back mmmm. Very friendly welcoming pub.

This restaurant is the best in Doncaster. The food is fantastic the staff are wonderful the atmosphere brilliant. It is small and cosy and ideal for a quiet dinner for two. I highly recommend the Al Raj.

Viva is simply great. An authentic trattoria serving superbly cooked pasta, proper pizzas all simply yet effectively done. Very good value and a genuine Italian feel to it from the decor to the friendly staff.

Visited Giorgio's on a Wednesday night and the place was packed to the rafters, but the food and service was of the highest quality! Very attentive and knowledgeable staff - You can tell everyone at Giorgio's have been specially selected! Great value and I

Sadly I would no longer recommend this restaurant. I have been three times and the food has always been good. However last time I visited the waiter was unhelpful and at times rude - he succeeded in making the whole table feel uncomfortable. He got the food order wrong, dropped wine glasses on the table while setting them out and poured more wine on the table than in our glasses. It ruined the whole experience and I will not now be returning. A shame

Samis is fantastic value for money and delicious food. I've read old reviews which say portion sizes are small but this is certainly no longer true - especially with the meat dishes. Try and eat upstairs as the decor and atmosphere is a lot better. Its a great place to meet with friends and have a relaxing meal - a lovely 3 course meal for £15 -£20 a head due to providing your own alcohol. We go back again and again.

i would recommend chiquito in Sheffield for its excellent drinks menu never tasted tequila so great!!!!

very good place to eat,as well as relaxing mostly friendly staff

I visited The Peppered Pig on Saturday night with friends and was not disappointed, we were greeted with Hor d'oeuvres of Homemade Carrot and Coriander soup( which was so nice my friend had it as a starter) and potato and Chorizo which was delicious, we had a idea we were on a winner by now. I had risotto for starter with king scallops and i can honestly say it was the best risotto i have ever tasted..the rest of the meal was just as delicious and i tried the Liqourice ice cream which was beautiful. I have to say the waitress were very nice and helpful and were a credit to the owners..(plus they kept filling us in on the England score!.) all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Hope to get back soon.

Saturday evening: the food was super but the service diabolically slow and the noise level from several tables meant that the waitress could not hear our order. Now and again there was evidence of music being played. As a dining experience, it was a nightmare! The room needs acoustic modifications, tables spread out more and a limit put on the noise level of some diners. If you want to leave with your ears shredded, this is the place to go!

FOOD IS NOT NICE TOO MUCH IL IN IT!! unhappy
