My husband and I were gifted a three course meal with Prosecco here, which we claimed tonight. On previous occasions when we've had vouchers for places, we haven't felt that we got the best service because of it being a voucher, however, this could not be further from the truth for tonight's experience.We arrived and were greeted by a lovely waiter who showed us to our table. A lady then came over to have a look at our vouchers, and explained how they worked and how to use them.For starters, my husband had the Mozarella Carrozza, which was beautiful, and I had the Funghi Arrosto, which was also super tasty! Even my mushroom-hating husband agreed that the sauce was delicious!For mains, he had lasagne, and I had Pollo Milanese. Both portions were very fair, my chicken was perfect (lightly battered, not at all dry, and super tasty!) and the pomodoro it came with was authentic and clearly fresh! My husband was offered parmesan on his lasagne and the waiter was more than happy to be as generous as my husband wanted (which was very!)Our waiter was absolutely wonderful and I cant praise him enough for how friendly and attentive he was, whilst never being over the top! He was patient with my husband whilst he spent ages being indecisive over choosing a drink, offering to help him decide with recommendations, all the while STILL grating parmesan on to the lasagne, much to my husband's delight!To finish, husband had mini doughnuts, which we believe were homemade and came with a delicious rich yet light chocolate sauce, and I had a banoffee sundae, which comes highly recommended!When paying (as we'd ordered extras during our meal; the garlic bread was perfect!) the waiter made sure we were happy, and explained the bill to us. The lady who had explained the voucher to us (possibly the manager?) was still around, and was also super friendly.Whilst I'm not always the biggest fan of chains, neither myself nor my husband can pick any fault with our evening. We are both full to the brim and would absolutely return!Big kudos to our waiter, who hopefully gets the recognition he deserves, and to the chefs!!

This restaurant has a fresh and quirky feel with its eclectic mix of furniture and minty colour palette. Some design features, such as the patterned tiled floor, take direct reference from original architectural details. The buildingâs former use as an au

Great to see a pizza express in Loughborough. Foods is good (although rather limiting), like others have said drinks are rather expensive. Good value for money if you have tesco vouchers etc...The waitress who served us initially really could do with better training as she was all over the place.

Interesting menu and friendly, real staff.Food all good.Set up unusual, food is cooked over the road then chilled then oven reheated.All seemed spotlessly clean. Looks and feels like a budget cafe, but food is excellent and service perfect.Thanks

We were recommended to Livios by friends of my partner. This great little Italian restaurant is tucked away in Shepshed. You wouldn't happen on it by accident but it's fabulous. Food is freshly cooked and delicious with amazing options. The wine choice is great and the staff are happy to recommend ones to you. We enjoyed it so much we recently took at party of 15 for my partners birthday. They were super accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. A great thing about this space is that even if you are going for a romantic dinner and there is a bigger table in there, you still feel very intimate...highly recommend.

Visited here with a friend. Ordered pasta, the parmesan shavings were mouldy. Told the manager, he tried to tell me that it wasn't mould. (it was mould)! No apologies, or explanation. Sheer ignorance, I Ieft feeling like I was looked down upon. Will not return for sure. Pretencious overrated, poorly executed cuisine.

Such a great vibe in this cafe created by the main man and his team! Lots of young staff but perfectly trained and 100% on it! Food is great value and cakes are excellent. Breakfast is £3.50 which was delicious. Coffee tends to the weaker side if like it strong but otherwise a great, friendly town centre cafe.

We enjoyed a seven member family celebration meal at the Caravelli in early July. We had been to the restaurant before but quite a few years ago. We checked the reviews, which were very positive and booked for a Friday evening.On arrival at the restaurant, it was already busy and the atrmosphere was vibrant. We were met very enthusiastically on arrival and we had the choice of having drinks at the bar first or going straight to the table. Having chosen to go straight to the table, we were greeted by our waiters, provided the menu and had our drinks order taken. We ordered a mixture of starters from the menu and main courses, some from the menu and some from the specials board. By the end of the main course, we were all too full to go for a dessert! The overall quality of the food was just excellent. Every dish served was hot and looked really appetising. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their dishes and said they were extremely tasty. There were clean plates all round. I also want to mention the service, which was friendly and extremely attentive. It did not take long for our starters to arrive and our main courses were delivered soon after. We were visited to check that everything was satisfactory and to take more drinks orders. All in all, a lovely evening all round, thanks to the front of house and the chef's team. We all thought that the menu pricing was great value for money. Thoroughly recommended!

Visited peter in Loughborough one weeknight evening with a couple of work colleagues.Hadnât been for years as I didnât enjoy my first visit and hadnât been back. However my colleague said it was good and suggested it so I went.I still find the decor a bit confused as I did back the first time but I think it must be me as everyone else seems to like it. Main thing - pizza was good and tasty. Crisp base and great flavour although a few more toppings wouldnât have gone amiss. Definitely not the soggy affair from my first visit. So all in all - good experience and I wonât leave it so long before returning!!Hi WillowBee77Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are really pleased that you decided to give us another try. Hopefully we'll see you again very soon!

My husband lived in Quorn for a year when he moved to Leicester 11 years ago. During that time we ate here regularly. As we now live the other side of Leicester we no longer visit. Until last night, we had been out for the day and wanted somewhere to eat on the way back, it was a slight detour to go here so weâre delighted when they had a table at 6.45.Oh my goodness, the service and food are excellent.We shared the calamari and arancino starters. They were both lovely but the calamari was quite outstanding, so very very tender.My husband had the fillet steak, he said it was one of the best and flavoursome steaks he has had in a long time. I had the seafood spaghetti, utterly delicious, the mussels in it were fabulous, could have eaten a bowl of them. We then shared a slice of cheesecake, beautiful.I so wish we lived nearer, the food is just so very very good, equalled by friendly and efficient service.
