Family-run Italian/Sardinian restaurant where everydish is homemade each day with passion. Freshly homemade pastas, slow-cooked meats,72 hours pizza dough, homemade desserts good wines and amazing staff at Zanky's!

As frequent visitors to Sardinia we were thrilled to find a Sardinian restaurant so close to home. We ordered several antipasti alongside main courses, wine, coffee and sides- all were delicious! But these portion sizes were small, the restaurant space is minuscule (there was a large table behind us which was loud - no fault of the restaurant but it was offputting) and it was so hot we couldnât enjoy the meal. The wine cost on the bill differed to the cost on the menu, although we didnât question this at the time, and the 15% surcharge was outrageous for a party of 4. Sadly we wonât be returning but wish this wasnât the case because the food was great.

Overall this does not seem like a "bad" restaurant. However, unfortunately, I ordered a chicken dish and the chicken was off. Tasted foul and had a funny smell. For me, no matter the size, type or quality of a restaurant, the chef should be able to tell if a chicken breast is off before serving a food which can potentially make you very ill. To me this clearly shows the chicken is far from fresh, probably frozen and not kept correctly.It was replaced and a drink knocked off the bill (should have been the whole dish!!). Unfortunately this is not something which can be forgiven and I will not be returning or recommending.Hi adamk823.Firstly our sincere apologies with regards to your meal in the restaurant. I would like to assure you that after inspection, the chicken you were served was not "off" but it was not the quality we normally serve here and we have already sent the entire batch of produce back to the supplier. We shall not be using them again. Please rest assured that we have already changed supplier and this is the first and last time anything like this will happen as we normally have strict checking procedures in the restaurant for quality and all our produce is fresh.If you would like to email me at [email protected] so we can discuss further.Thank youNick

The food is outstanding across the board. Try the red pepper or the mushroom soups, they are delectable. The cheese omelette was superb, the best I have had anywhere. I had the vegan lemon slice, it was just so good. At Leyhill Grounds they bring talented cooking to simple ingredients with mouthwatering success. The service is attentive, open and friendly.

Carriages Restaurant is within the Alveston House Hotel on the A38 near Thornbury. The Hotel itself and the Dining area oozes cleanliness, bland decor, a slightly old-fashioned "middle-class" type ambience - the sort of place to take ones maiden Aunt and be sure she'll find little to moan about.The Sunday Lunch I had was reasonable priced at £19.50-£22.50 for 2-3 courses. There was very little actual cooking involved, most of the food being apparently bought in already prepared. The main course arrives already plated, so no choice of type or amount of vegetables or sauce. The cheeseboard was straight out of the fridge.The service was very friendly and efficient.It's the sort of place that doesn't do "exotica", but you're unlikely to find too much to complain about if standard British Hotel fare is what you're looking for.Incidentally, the Hotel is currently up for sale.Thank you for your review. We like to think that we have an elegant restaurant but appreciate your feedback. We can assure you and any readers of your review that our food is completely home made and nothing is bought in already prepared. If more vegetables or sauce is required we are always more than happy to oblige. Your cheeseboard should not have been fridge cold and we apologise if this was the case. We do hope you will visit us again and do mention that you would prefer a larger portion of vegetables!

Had dinner with friends and loved the tasting menu and wine flight. As ever, the food and wines were superb. The only reason Iâm giving this visit 4 and not 5 stars is that on this occasion the service was clumsy and unprofessional. The ladies serving us were very pleasant, but sadly they were not well trained or informed. The wine and food courses were not served together as they should be - we either had to wait 10-15 minutes for the food (by which time the wine had been drunk!) or we were served our food and had to wait for the wine (whilst our food was going cold). When asked questions about the wine, the waitresses didnât know the answers.This is a great shame as Ronnie and his team of chefs had clearly worked very hard, but they were let down by their front of house colleagues. I hope Ronnie puts this right by the time we visit again and that we receive the high level of service, knowledge and enthusiasm that we have come to expect here.

We have just returned from a meal at this lovely, local restaurant. The food was beautiful, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was just perfect. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Little touches made the service and the feeling very personal.
