Montpeliano

The experience was a bitter and very disappointing one. We were treated like we weren't good enough for the restaurant, we paid over the odds for the food and we were overcharged for the privilege.

• We were charged for what seemed to be complimentary olives and bread and later the ‘open sweet’ which were automatically brought to our table;
• We asked for tap water (after ordering a Ł29 bottle of wine)- the staff made a huge fuss and openly scoffed. We were brought a jug, but when we paid, we were charged Ł7 (it was definitely tap water)
• The staff were arrogant and conceited;
• To top it all off, they then charged us for an extra coffee we didn't have.
  

I was so angry and disgusted about the whole experience.

The perfect italian for non italians who know nothing about italian food!
I can't tell you how many people over the years have raved about this restaurant – none of them italian all of them clueless about food in general.
This restaurant could be in Abu Dhabi. It is truly a shame because their location is great, but the old fashioned, boring menu and lazy cooking here will be it's slow death. Extremely tacky and very diasppointing.

This was my first visit to Montpeliano. The location is lovely and the restaurant itself has quite a nice ambience. The food however was quite another matter, it was simply awful. It was Italian food from the 70's but done very badly, no presentation and the ingredients did not taste fresh at all, in fact some of the food was inedible. It is also grossly overpriced for the quality of food being served. There are many far better choices in this area.
