Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Had to provide some balance, looking at the reviews. Three years ago this restaurant was OK (used to be called "The Curzon"). Wife and I stopped going because the food became awful and frighteningly overpriced. Re-tried it a couple of months ago, in its "Salvatores" guise. Calamari was soggy. TBone was gristly/poor cut. Stroganoff was dry. Terribly overpriced. Ripped off. Never again.

meal good but staff are so rude,i went for meal there,they don't know how to speak to a customer,

Sadly not a recommendation. Not aware when we that it had only been open 5 days (impulsive night out). I expect new places to have teething troubles but this was much more. Waited ages for drinks (not many of the waiting staff appear to understand much english). Waited ages again for the food. Disappointed what arrived. I had the combo starter. Sweet potato in tempura batter, even normal batter would have been better that waht we got...nothing like tempura. Won Tons were really limp and soggy. It appeared to me that most of the items were bought frozen then cooked, however that is not reflected in the prices which are expensive considering the poor quality. Towards the end of the night a small blonde lasy appeared and things speeded up. May she was manager, or owner. If only she had been there earlier, things might have gone more efficiently. Menu talks about how authentic the food is. Cannot agree, it was like a chinese with more spices added. The only good thing I can say about the place is, nice decor. Shame about the food.

We have had two Saturday evenings at Prego in the last month and on both occasions we had a wonderful time with excellent food served by attentive and knowledgeable staff. The a la carte menu is great but try the specials, I had monkfish wrapped in pancetta and served with a white wine and grape sauce, and on the other occasion red snapper with a spicy mexicana sauce which was equally superb.

We went as a family to celebrate my sisters 63rd birthday. She was the oldest and the party was mixed ages with the youngest being only 6. It was a rare sunny day in August and we enjoyed the food, drink and the sunshine on the outside terrace. But Shaun our waiter made the day, he was helpful, cheerful and very entertaining. We would go back again but would hope that Shaun is on that shift.

Visited Piccolino on the Sunday during the Mathew st festival, food, service, and staff were all top class. We would certainly visit here again when in liverpool next year.

We ate here last week whilst on a three day break in Liverpool. It was one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in. The food was superb as was the service - just loved the slowly bakes mushrooms with Roquefort. Can't wait to go back.

I visited this restaurant a week ago Thursday, with a group of friends. I travelled from Birkenhead, Wirral and can say that it was worth the travelling. The food was delicious, the layout excellent, so much so that I am going back next week with another friend

This restaurant is fab!!! Some friends and i recently visited Cafe Porto for the evening tapas menu. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. It is very reasonably priced too and we took our own wine. There aren't many places where you can get a mountain of delicious food and wine in lovely surroundings for less than £20 a head! Although it is BYO, they do have Portuguese wines on the wine list, which are priced between £15-25 ish. We opted to take our own Portuguese wine and the guy that runs it brought a taster glass of their house wine to see how the wines contrasted and told us a little bit about the different wine growing areas of Portugal. The people who worked there were really friendly and made us feel very welcome. I really recommend Cafe Porto - its a hidden gem!

Excellent food and great service. Lovely restaurant in a great location.

Visited on Sunday for the roast and thought building and service was OK but the food was not. The veg was quite obviously frozen and lacked any taste the roast potatoes must of been kept warm all day because they looked like they needed re-hydrating plus we did not get any Yorkshire puds because they had run out? (im sorry but how hard are they to make?) only saving grace was the beef was not too bad and gravy had some taste. I will not be returning to this pub again because if you cannot make a roast what chance have you got at anything else? Avoid and visit bottle and glass in Rainford.

Fish and chip and Indian takeaway in the same place is a great idea.

Delicious pasta cooked to perfection in an oasis of calm and sophistication. Very friendly staff, and we will return soon. A cut above anything else found locally.

My family and I visited Il Forno yesterday to celebrate my mums birthday. Everything about the experience was perfect. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

First time visit to Pauls Place today. Exceptional quality food and cooking !! Will spread the word among my fellow gourmands ! For celebrations and regular visits this small attractive restaurant is a must for all who appreciate the real meaning of ' good food'.

We visited Liverpool recently and have to say how impressed we were with Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in the Liverpool ONE park. The staff were lovely and really helped us with our choice of food. The decor is amazing and I am would definitely recommend the food which was delicious. We had drinks afterwards in the equally stunning Palm Sugar Lounge. This is the best place is Liverpool. We also spotted Joe Cole which was fantastic.

Me and 3 others went to Othellos last Friday, just for a last minute meal. I had never been before, and never really knew anyone who had been so didn't know what to expect. However the food was absolutely gorgeous. We ordered the set meal for £18.50 per head, this included an array of pitta bread and dips for starters, a fish course - the prawns are amazing. A spicy sausage and pork course, then a kebab course with potatoes. We were stuffed, but the food was fantastic and for the price we paid very good value for money. We will definitely be going back to Othello's soon.
