Awesome

Thinking they might be a great venue for our first meal of the holiday. Sounds like I'll need to book though. Do you think I'll be ok phoning them? My Spanish extends as far as "Quisiera reservar una mesa..." but if I get asked any follow up questions I'm gonna be stumped!

Hi littlebird , you would definitely need to book if you are going in high season as it's so popular .The guys in Little Italy are a mix of Spanish and French so you could just mix it up a bit and hit them with a bit of everything

They all speak English though so you'll be fine

Thanks debz - my French is actually tres bien so it sounds like I'll be fine with a bit of, erm, Spanglais??

Do they have taken back the name of Little Italy? Didn't they change the name last year?

I am hoping the took my phone booking for next week. Fingers crossed.

Tone I was told it was a branding issue so now on the staff's polo shirts it just says Little!

Don't think it will be anything other than Little Italy though to those that know and love it

Having heard so many great things about this place we booked ahead (several weeks) for a nice leaving meal with family. What a mistake. We were served mouldy bread to start and when we pointed it out the basket was whisked away. No apology. No replacement. And to our further bemusement it appeared on our bill at the end! We did eat the pizzas we had ordered as by that time it was too late to drag the children elsewhere. The pizza was nice enough but not as great as the rave reviews would have you believe. A restaurant that has perhaps sadly become complacent and trading on reputation rather than service or quality. It compared poorly to less raved about restaurants in the town. Needless to say, we will not be back. Sadly I doubt they will even be bothered as they are so fully booked they seemed to delight in turning away people who innocently asked if there may be a table free. Fascinating way to run a business.

Don't want to open a can of worms with the Little Italy faithful but that post was nearly a carbon copy of our experience.Needless to say we have not been back

I placed Little Italy in my no.2 spot for "Top 5 Restaurants" last year, sitting outside with that view with one of their delicious pastas and a nice bottle of wine on a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon in May (never too busy at that time) is my idea of heaven but have to agree about their brusque staff.....but as long as they are serving me good food in my favourite spot I will enjoy and they can go take a jump!....their tip won't be that generous though. I am so busy enjoying myself I don't take much notice of them. Good customer service usually goes a long way with me but I accept I won't really experience it here....but I will enjoy all else it has to offer.

Holidaynewbie · #13 06-07-2014, 13:54

Favie yes I do kind of go along with the lovely location comment but I couldn't really enjoy my pizza knowing they'd let the bread get that mouldy and didn't care... Ah well we have put it down to experience and maybe the lack of tips will one day hit home with them.

favie · #14 06-07-2014, 14:01

Hopefully holidaynewbie......because that really wasn't acceptable especially their attitude......an apology was the least to expect but to charge you for it! Unbelievable.

We've eaten three times at Little Italy this week. The food was gorgeous and the service was friendly as usual.
There are some new staff working there this season and they seemed to know what they were doing. How on earth they manage to run around in this heat I will never know though!
