Pescatori

Odd, odd, odd! Trying to find a reasonably priced restaurant which serves straightforward food in the Green Park area is not easy. So when I found a meal deal for Pescatori, it seemed to tick the boxes. I can't really say anything was terrible but the overall feeling I came away with was that this is a strange restaurant. The decor is seriously old fashioned, the clientele is a mix of tourists and businessmen who have clearly been going there for years and don't want to bump into acquaintences, and the atmosphere is generally awkward. The food was ok. We had the set menu with lobster and french fries, a pudding and a glass of prosecco. I was expecting the prosecco to be like sherry but I have to say it was not bad at all and was actually pretty drinkable. The bottom line is that if you're hungry whilst in the Green Park area, this place will fill a hole but it definitely won't be a memorable experience for the right reasons. P.S. Do not go here if you are in a hurry; service runs at a snail's pace and you have to pretty much stand on your chair and wave your arms in the air to catch the attention of one of the overstretched waiters.

Food very tasty, squid starter crispy and pesto/crumb encrusted cod also very good. But pricey. Chop 25% off the bill and I would feel that it was fairly priced.

We decided to give this restaurant a try and we actually enjoyed it as it was not swamped with tourists.
The food was very nice and tasty – the fish was fantastic, however a sour taste was left in out mouths at the end when the bill came up. I am all for paying a service charge to the staff however not at 12.5% and to have this included in my bill! Service is optional and to be asked to pay nearly £15 was an outrage!
When I asked to pay the bill minus the service they staff felt that it was due to the fact that I was unhappy with the service. I still feel that at the end of the day it is my choice whether I want to pay the service charge and also how much I wish to pay – Sorry guys totally out of order – I do hasten to add that I did pay a servcice charge which i thought was appropriate for the meal

Being part of the Spaghetti House group of restaurants, the food was of a similiar standard but 4 times the price.

We ordered their signature ‘lobster spaghetti’ to be confronted with a dish that was tasteless and has barely a few pieces of tough chewy “lobster” (because it is frozen, not fresh lobster that they have used). At £38 for the dish, one naturally would expect a little bit more effort.

The halibut was slightly better, however the crispy tuna was lacklustre, coated with panko breadcrumbs and deep fried.

Avoid this place unless you are accustomed to Bella Italia and Spaghetti House standard of italian food, but dont mind paying four times the price. Most of the diners on the friday evening were tourists and non-locals.

Dinner for 2 with starters, mains and a bottle of their cheapest prosecco costs in the region of £120, after they had slapped on £12 for service. A week after I had eaten there, I found Oddbins selling the same bottle of prosecco for £6, which we had paid £25 in the restaurant for.

Tourist trap.
